So weak.

????
are you just running around picking fights porn merchant?
I listened to Zogby and Rasmussen and they were split...3-1 dems vs. repubs registered, crazy polling and I hope he pulls it out but things like Patrick Kennedy give me reservation...just being practical..I can hear Teddy howling from the beyond...

"Re-electemonalectamalla"
"Re-electemonalectamalla"
"Re-electemonalectamalla"

I've heard seismologist are starting to detect signals that the ground is rumbling in Arlington NC: Teddy's getting ready to roll over should MC lose.

Your lack of confidence it telling...

Hell, you're probably a closet Coakley voter.

-spence

oh yeah...she's sexy!!!

Great job everyone,we won !! :jump1:

Right on POINT! Gas up the truck. :btu:

Mark. Keep calling and IM'ing Joe to remind him. He said he's sick of hearing it from you and said I'd better not start in with him either. :rotf2:

Change is in the air!!!

Huge victory....

Until he gets down there as a Jr. senator, and is pressured to conform to the broader base party lines.

I stayed out of this A. because I needed a break from the forum, and B. I don't vote in Mass.
In all honesty he seems like a good gut check for the left to get it in gear and start working on their message and mission. If it kills the health care bill, do you guys see any chance at reform, or will it just become a string of filibusterers after filibusterers and bickering among the parties... we are moving more and more away from working across party lines to a counting game of who has how many chits.

You guys said it last year to those of us that voted for BHO... Be careful what you wish for... if it backfires, the blow back could be bad for the right...

we'll see. Regardless, if this is the amount of press this 1 election got, I'm not looking forward to this fall! :smash:

Dems are already talking of a new health care reform that fixes what's broken. This is a win/win for America.
I still say change is in the winds....Now lets change them all..Republican and Democrat.
Make them work for the people

I have no problem with that, and in MA would have had a hard time justifying Coakley myself.

I hope that is true. I want the HC that was campaigned for: Universal Care available for minors, and serious reform to make it more affordable for everyone else...

I think we are looking at the next president!

Yeah, Brown Palin 2012. :smash:

lets see where you're at with this seat in 2012...

One low experience lawyer Senator to President is enough for now.

Ahh, that is the answer. :D
It takes very little time to e-mail your represenatives and let them
know who they work for and pays their salary.
We are ALL Americans. :)

I'll ditto that!

Please don't mention her name:yak5:

Because then Obama could drop Biden, pick up Pelosi and we'd still win :D:D:D:D

So now we have two idiot pretty boys in the Senate who will cancel each other's votes. Leaving Mass with no representation, virtually in the Senate. Maybe they both go do some nudie spreads in ladie's mags...The whole world is laughing...

Exactly! Coakley was very mis-informative with just about everything, but one thing that really irked me is how she stated that Brown was completely against Health Care Reform.

On the other hand, the single biggest item that had me unquestionably supportive of Brown is that he supports HC Reform, but not the current proposal at all. He recognizes (as I have been stating for months) that the current proposal is only an expansion of care, and not a method to reduce costs.

It seems like the Dems are starting to realized that as well.

I also appreciate that Reid has pledged not to hold up Brown's confirmation and they *will not* rush the HC vote in order to get it in before Brown is confirmed.

Maybe politicians can learn.

Politicians are like OLD Dogs......how's that go: you can't teach them new tricks or something like that?

confusion anger frustration and a large dose of WTF
 

were factors this time...
the dems... had 4 in the primary... and they picked wrong..
mediocre turnout... I think this whole thing would have had a different outcome if Cappuano had won the primary... would have been close..but I think Cappy would have pulled it out..

Coakley also laid back after the primary and did nothing...when she finally got involved she went negative... and too negative..
Kudos to Brown for running a fairly clean campaign, and not throwing down in the Mud with her...

voters are angry..
jobs economy, and the FUBAR health care "reform"??

Even Crazy Old Dem leader Howard Dean does not want what this dealed up effed up version of so called reform has to offer...wants it dead and buried and do over please.

Scott has 2 years.... and if he has any smarts...he will truly listen to his constituents...not his handlers... McCain..and Romney...
got the biggest kick out of the California Resident Mitt...making like he still lived in MA...Man..that Robot look has never left his dumbass face.

Mass is mostly independent not dem or repub...
the voters got pissed enuf to flex their muscles...

Brown would be well served to remember all the coffee shops he stopped the "truck" at...and what the folks truly had to say...

the carhart jacket, and the pickup... man what a gimmick...it worked..
but he better remember the folks that actually wear that jacket, and drive them trucks...they usually stay home in droves...but will come out and vote when peesed off...
if he don't deliver, they will throw him in the back of that truck in 2 years, and haul him off...

the fact he is a NRA and GOAL member, with the fear factor of loss of gun rights helped him immensely...but the press don't give that any play at all...

ammo and guns still flying off the shelves here in MA...

NOW... if you are truly pissed at how things are going in this state..
remember vote out all incumbents... when the Beacon Hill Gang comes up for parole... er... I mean re-election....

Thats Lt Colonel Scott Brown, Senator from Massachusetts

I fail to see the correlation between military experience and qualifications for public office. Joining the military is one of the most honorable things a person can do, but I don't think it necessarily qualifies them as a better candidate than someone else.

If Obama had served in the Marines, would that change anyone's opinion of him?

Leadership.

Funny, I was going to say the exact same thing. The US Military is one of the best leadership training grounds there is.

-spence

Hell yes!

But he didn't.

Karl it's got 201,000 on it, think he'll be able to nurse it for another 2 years? :D

That Truck will be parked for the next two years..and is prolly already in the garage, being gone thru...the Carhart will be dry cleaned and shrink wrapped...neither one will be seen until the ..
"re-election" commercials come out in another 18 months.. :uhuh:

Ya, it ain't a Ford. :doh: ;)

I know, my comment was a snark against O. Unfortunatley, I believe he has to resign his commision to serve in the Senate. Not sure on that though.

I would have had a significantly more favorable rating had he been a Marine LT, Captain, or Grunt - even a zoomie - might have voted for him had he accumulated that kind of experience.

For me, Military Experience / Service - even a LTC in the Guard (JAG experience not included) is worth 33% of a yeh and the lack there of almost guarantees a neh for me when it comes to The Office of the President for me. To lead people in life or death situations, even deadly training for the possibility of that, makes someone significantly more capable of making those hard decisions if need be. To understand what the ramifications truly are when you make a decision as president, or to yeh or nay an appropriations bill concerning the military is a tremendous plus.

Bingo, duck falls from the ceiling.

Well he certainly did fleece them.
Since he helped write the MA healthcare reform bill. :rotf2:
But remember! He wears carharts and drives a pickup!

But but but...
he's going to be the one to kill health care.... :smash:

The reception yesterday was a bit much, don't you think?

I can't wait for the far right guys to figure out that he isn't as Conservative as they like. I hope for his sake he sticks to his guns about working across party lines and such and go with his stances, not the party line. He would gain a lot of respect from me if he does. Even if you disagree with politics, if they are consistent and logical about it, that earns my nod. Sell outs suck on both sides.

it wasnt the far right guys that voted him into office. It was the independents. I said a month or so ago, if you look at Brown's stance on the key issues, they are in line with most MA voters. He is no radical, and people want common sense to rule. For ex - It defies common sense to throw hundreds of billions of dollars at a problem affecting the few at a time when the deficit is larger than ever and we have major unemployment in the country. Common sense.

I do find it humorous you will look for brown for keep his promise on working across party lines yet you give a free pass to Obama? That was one of the keystones of his campaign, along with a new washington and transparency, all of whihc he has failed to dleiver on or even acknowledge.

I am well aware that it was the middle of the pack guys in Mass that voted him in. I want to see if he stays that way in DC!! I was referring to the farther right in his own party.

I have not given Obama a 'free pass' and a few threads back said I was glad this killed the HC bill.. this was not the format we need right now. I do think the bi-partisan stuff is on both sides, and is not just limited to the White House right now. We need more 'purple' and less red and blue from both sides! I look for this to be the kick in the ass to become more populist and less far left!
