WOW
Just about the most libereal of blue states, Massachusetts, just elected, Scott Brown, a Republican to fill the senate seat held by Ted Kennedy for 46 years and his brother John before him.
Wow. Talk about a mandate… this is a huge message to Washington.
In his acceptence speech he delivered many great lines. The most believable being “We can do better”, and my fav:
Our tax dollars should go to weapons to defeat the terroist, not for lawyers to defend them.
Days leading up to the election saw his opponent Martha Coakley looking like a deer caught in headlights and guess what, it was Scott Brown driving the “truck”.
The days leading up to the election we started hearing leaks and finally public comments from the WH about how bad a campaign Coakley had run and of course the Media picked up on this to distance their beloved from this disaster.
While it may be true that Coakley ran a bad campaign. I don’t think any Democrat could have won no matter how well the campaign was run.
This bullet was aimed squarely at Obama, Reid and Pelosi as well as their deal making cohorts. I you ignore and lie to the people, you will be replaced.
Your arrogance and distance condemn you. Your vision for a european utopia, an intellectual socialist nirvana is not, nor will ever be the American vision.
The majority of people in this country still believe in the founders vision and what shaped these United States of America and the Republic, no matter how you’ve tried to hide that message… to the point of barely teaching the basics of American History to our young people.
We still believe! And for now, you still work for us and we can fire you.
Congratulations Senator Brown! Congratulations Massachusetts !
A great day for America.
As exciting as this is and as clear a message it would send to congress you can bet that this congress will not care. Not once have they shown any concern for the peoples’ wishes. Campaigning on anti-corruption and transparency we have witnessed unprecedented back-room deals and blatant partisanship, locking out the Republicans, locking out CSPAN and locking out the people. Never in this generation have we witnessed such shady politics as we have with this administration and congress. These are the folks that promised to “change” politics as usual. Instead they have taken it to a new level and what’s worse is they don’t seem to care. It’s our ball now, play by our rules or don’t play… and those rules are subject to change and enforced as a matter of convenience as we will soon see if Brown wins in Massachusetts.
Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he won’t seat the winner of the election until at least after January 29th.
This will allow democrats to ram through their nationalized health care legislation before Scott Brown is seated if he wins on Tuesday.
In contrast, Rep. Niki Tsongas (D-Lowell) was sworn in at the U.S. House of Representatives on Oct. 18, 2007, just two days after winning a special election to replace Martin Meehan. In that case, Tsongas made it to Capitol Hill in time to override a presidential veto of the expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program.
This is a stunning admission by Paul Kirk and the Beacon Hill political machine,” said Brown in a statement. “Paul Kirk appears to be suggesting that he, Deval Patrick, and (Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid intend to stall the election certification until the health care bill is rammed through Congress, even if that means defying the will of the people of Massachusetts. As we’ve already seen from the backroom deals and kickbacks cut by the Democrats in Washington, they intend to do anything and everything to pass their controversial health care plan. But threatening to ignore the results of a free election and steal this Senate vote from the people of Massachusetts takes their schemes to a whole new level. Martha Coakley should immediately disavow this threat from one of her campaign’s leading supporters.
I recently received the below in an email. I had heard a snippet about this a few months ago but thought I’d surely hear more when it came up for a vote but with all this transparency it’s hard to keep up.
I generally read emails such as this with a grain of salt and usually do a little research [...]

Many of our corporations have moved overseas to escape the increasing tax burden America imposes. Some companies simply cannot compete globally within the U.S. corporate tax rate. In the last two decades we have seen countries lowering their corporate tax to entice companies to locate with them. For a time it was almost like a [...]

For many years in the United States there has been a gradual drifting away from the Founding Fathers original success formula. This has resulted in some of their most unique contributions for a free and prosperous society becoming lost or misunderstood. Therefore, there has been a need to review the history and development of the [...]
