Indeed a Revolution. This was a populist revolution and is a rejection of the social elites. We need more real people with 200,000 miles on their car running this country!
Coakley conceded. Teddy Kennedy was sworn in the day after he was first elected. Time to follow precedent.
Politicians take note, you aren't guaranteed your job anymore than Joe the Plumber so you better start doing your job or you will find yourself without one.
Amazing in its own right. Even more amazing when you consider that Obama crushed Sen. John McCain in Massachusetts in 2008, beating the GOP presidential nominee by 26 points.
I guess you just don't know what will happen when you don't have a alcoholic murderer to vote for.
"Aw hell," said the chief traitor in the white house.
Poor Coakley. Now Obama will throw her under the bus because it couldn't be him or his policies or his agenda that cost the Dems that seat. It has to be her and her inability to campaign well etc. Part of the whole problem with Obama is he can't see past his own agenda to what the American People truly want for their Nation.
It's about time!! Now if we can only get some of the Obama liberalists out of office we could get this country back on track.
I'm pretty sure this is all Bush's fault.
I wonder how many dems will be asking Obama to campaign for them in the mid-term elections.

If they are smart they will tell him to keep his butt at the White House...
OK, Scott Brown's daughters are going to kill him in his sleep...lolololol. Can't stop the truck. This is hilarious...

It just took Massachusetts a lot longer than other parts of the country but maybe they finally get it.
I didn't like Brown kissing Teddy's *** in his victory speech. Why kiss the *** of the party you just defeated? Teddy is only a "legend" because he was born a Kennedy; he did nothing to earn his legacy.
I'm all for humility and respect, but Brown took the Kennedy worship too far. Do you recall Obama and company kissing the ass of Republicans? Hell no. They basically gave them the finger, and still do.
Other than that, he seems like a good guy.

The Dow Jones rose 116 points and the dims are pointing fingers at each other for this loss. They haven't a clue!
Remember, Mass. still has a lot of liberals and a republican senator in Mass. is going to be like a liberal senator in Alabama, if you get what I mean. I think what happened here, was Big money from the conservatives got this republican elected in Mass. The woman he ran against didn't have the power or money to fight with. Yes, the Repubs sent 6 million dollars. Mass has a super state run health plan - maybe they really weren't too interested in helping anyone else. BTW Mr. Brown was a big supporter of the state health plan. It all may hinge on whether he wants to make an eventual run for president.

What happened here is America has awoken to the fact that they elected a jackazz to the presidency along with all the jackazzes in congress. They see what a disaster it's been so the housecleaning has begun. Too bad clifford. Fun while it lasted huh?
The lady who was running took the people for fools and behaved very arrogantly in interviews. I guess they have been voting for Ted all these years because of his seniority and prestige and she was so objectionable personally that she was not able to benefit at all from Ted's memory.
I hope this win is a wake-up call for the REPUBLICAN Party as well. LISTEN to THE PEOPLE. The Democrats have a bad habit of thinking(?) that THE PEOPLE work for the politicians instead of the other way around.
Note to Pelosi,Obama,and Pals concerning health care bill: What is it about "NO" you don't understand?
Brown SPECIFICALLY opposed the Democratic healthcare bill. Message sent to Congress to STOP NOW. Will they heed the message/warning?quote:Originally posted by Nobluedog:

'Heed the warning'? Not likely.
I wish I could pinpoint the originator of this comment, but earlier this week a news source cited an unnamed Democrat saying "...the American people need to sit down, shut up and let 'us' do what's best for them..." with regards to health care.

LOL. Karma bit em in the butt. They wanted a special election, they changed the rules after they had already changed the rules.
Kennedy replaced by a republican. Hell froze over.

Wow. And how telling is it that they do what's "best" for us - but EXEMPT themselves!quote:Originally posted by dogsoldier0513:

Keep up the good work LB and BlewDog!
I think this is a preview of the elections in November.
With the Tea Party protests last year and the election last night, politicians should be getting the message that Americans do not want an over taxing big government.

PLEA TO DEMOCRATS AND LEFT WING IN GENERAL!
Please keep doing what you're doing! Keep on the track and agenda you've set! Keep deriding tea partiers as tea baggers. Keep referring to the participants as red necks, and worse. Declare there are no minorities in their midst (FYI! that's changed, big time), State over and over that a crowd of 1.2 million was only 75,000. Please keep up the good work, you adorable little lemmings!

They keep running like diarrea (sp) of the mouth and like I keep saying:
"VOTE THE BQ**QRDS OUT" one at a time or a bunch at a time.
It seems that having Obama endorsing you is the best way to lose an election.
Yep, so far, all his endorsements have lost.
He's batting a big "0".
He's batting a big "0".
quote:After Brown's victory Tuesday night, Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., called on the Senate to stop all health care legislation until Brown is seated. President Obama told ABC he agreed.
"The Senate certainly shouldn't try to jam anything through until Scott Brown is seated. People in Massachusetts spoke. He's got to be part of that process," he said.
First thing Obama has said I agree with.
I'm for Scott Brown to stop this train wreck!
The most shocking election result in recent memory with huge political implications and the timesdaily runs the results on page 5?
The people of MA aren't completely stupid. They know that the Kennedy gravy train they've enjoyed is over. Coakley would have been just another minor democrat, expected to play along with the party. Brown on the other hand now has quite a bit of bargaining power. Let the pork barrel roll!
I hope you are wrong Crusty, but it has happened before. The house and senate elections of 94 were supposed to produce results, while we are told the welfare roll did drop, nothing else was accomplished by that crew. We need term limits, term limits and a flat tax rate. For you folks on the left, that means everyone pays the same percentage of their income in taxes.
Term limits, flat tax, and an end to gerrymandering.
Morons in the house and senate that think they know what is best for the people and never have worked in the health care field. They haven't sat in the ER for 12 hours ever in their lives waiting to get seen. And they think they can tell us they know what is best for us. WAKE UP DEMOCRATS and others in congress!!!
