In case you haven’t heard, there is a special election in Massachusetts on January 19th to fill the late Ted Kennedy’s seat. While many of you may not really think much about a Senate race in Mass., this race will affect each of us on a national level. If Republican Scott Brown wins the seat he will be the 41st vote in the Senate that is against the Health Care Bill not to mention Cap & Trade. He will stop the Democrats from their 60 vote majority and therefore aid in stopping the insanity that has been continually passed in the most partisan fashion we’ve seen in years in Congress.
Brown’s opponent is Democrat Martha Coakley, the current Attorney General for the state. Coakley is a typical liberal cookie cutout. She will vote along party lines like the majority of them do and she will not care about what her constituents want nor what is best for them or the country. Reid would love to have Coakley in the seat because he could count on her to just step right into place (he wouldn’t even have to ‘buy’ her vote as he did with some of the Blue Dog Democrats). As much as many Conservatives didn’t like Kennedy because of his ideology, he was much better than Coakley could ever even try to be because he did work across the aisle. She is not a good Democratic candidate to replace Kennedy.
You can learn more about Scott Brown by visiting his website: www.brownforussenate.com. You can also donate, volunteer and make phone calls even if you are not in Massachusetts. There is also a site called the ‘Brown Brigade’ that supports Scott Brown: www.brownbrigade.ning.com. The support from people all over the country and even the world for Scott Brown on both Twitter and Facebook is overwhelming. Coakley is practically invisible on Twitter. There is also a little known Independent candidate, Joe Kennedy (not related to ‘the’ Kennedys) who also does not have much support. Coakley is so arrogant that she refused to participate in many debates with her fellow Democrats during the primaries (not even to women’s groups). Coakley is so arrogant that she refuses to debate Brown one on one because she knows that Kennedy is simply a distraction. You can view Coakley’s site here: www.marthacoakley.com and Joe Kennedy’s here: www.joekennedyforsenate.com.
If you live in Massachusetts, remember to vote on January 19, 2010 – rain, sleet or snow! This is already an historic race as Coakley could be the first woman from Mass. in the Senate and Brown is a Republican vying for Kennedy’s seat that was Democratic for decades. The last thing this state needs is a Senator who would actually be worse than Senator Kerry. The last thing this country needs is another liberal Democrat in Congress who will just vote whatever way Reid tells her. Support and a vote for Scott Brown could help kill the outrageous Health Care Bill and the ever looming Cap & Trade Bill, both of which he is against. The time for action is now! A win for Scott Brown is not only a win for the people of Massachusetts but a win for the entire country!
Who?
Imagine!
Scott Brown!
(If I pinged you before, please forgive me: I'm trying to get good coverage for this very hopeful--- and significant --- challenger.)
From Scott Brown’s campaign office:
"Scott is a conservative. In fact, he will be the most conservative Senator elected from MA since . . . Senator John F. Kennedy, who nowadays would be denounced by liberals as "a dangerous right-winger." JFK loved our country, and he knew that in a recession you don't raise taxes -- instead, you cut them. And as a man with chronic ailments, JFK had no desire to our health system into one resembling Bulgaria's.
"Scott Brown is committed to voting to repeal the health care monstrosity Reid and Pelosi are busy hatching. He's against the Cap-and-Tax legislation. He's in favor of reducing our taxes. And, unlike Obama, he's not afraid to use the phrase "war on terror."
"You may ask . . . What about Scott's opponent, one Martha Coakley? She's another one of those Massachusetts liberals (think: John Kerry) whose ambitions are as unlimited as her talents are nonexistent. As a member of the Massachusetts legal community, she specialized in ferocious prosecutions of people who were clearly innocent."
Airborne. Texas Darlin TD Blog has re-opened just to rally people to vote for Scott Brown, Republican, to help defeat the health bill, and stop the Senate keeping a 60 vote lead. She reports the GOP has only given him $50,000 for his campaign, while the SEUI labor bunch has donated $2 mil. for radio ads for his democratic opponent. TD also mentioned Dee Dee Scuzzypoopoo, RINO, (can’t remember her name, she was that withdrawn republican candidate) got $l million to run her campaign and when she was withdrawn, because she was still on the ballot, the republican replacement candidate lost by the few thousand votes she siphoned off. The GOP needs to put more effort into this.
LOL, thanks for the response.
I pulled up my knickers so I could tip-toe through this mine-field.
Movin’ on...

I sent a donation. Mass. is my birth state and I still have some conservative family members there, one of which graduated from Wakefield high....a long time ago. I wish him well.
Not one red cent for the RNC from me until they start working for the people again.
I was just talking to a friend who is challenging William Delahunt in the 10th. He’s very surprised that we’ve virtually seen no polling results. He knows Coakley and says she’s one nasty s.o.b. She’s very confident of a win and I hope her supporters are too. They may figure they don’t have to vote cause it’s in the bag.
My daughter-in-law is very liberal and voted for Obama but I doubt that she’ll bother to vote for Coakley after working a full day. She’s a sister in soladarity and also a lawyer but this race, I believe, she’ll pass on.
The U.S. and world is way more politically correct today, compared to the 1980’s, and the majority of voters who helped Ronald Reagan carry Massachusetts twice have died. Massachusetts is way too blue of a state today for Scott Brown to actually win this and to even make this race a close race, but I seriously want to be proven wrong about this, please.
Who is challenging William Delahunt? “Politics1” doesn’t show anybody challenging him, so far. There are many anti-Democrat voters in Cape Cod, so I hope that Delahunt always has some opponents every election cycle, until he’s, either, successfully defeated, or he’s gone from Congress in any other way.
Kudlow is interviewing him tonight....I think ...
Barbara knew he wasn’t a real Republican, but did he know she wasn’t a real journalist who would keep her sources secret?
I have personally not seen a single poll result concerning this race.
