Just a few short weeks ago, we didn't even know who this guys was. Go ahead and read the thread; it's humorous now.
I noticed that when this was posted, there was a grand total of FIVE articles about Scott Brown.
Special thanks to the MODS, who we implored to keep this thread up, not sure that they would. It allowed us time to get our act together and organize.
ping to you, ladies!
We helped get it done!
Huzzah!
Scott Brown’s Ride
(with heartfelt apologies to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
Listen my children to a feat of renown—
The midnight ride of Scott P. Brown.
On the nineteenth of January, in Twenty-Ten,
Hardly a man will forget just when
Obamacare came crashing down.
Scott said to his friend, “If Senator Kennedy dies,
I’ll fight for his seat—for the people’s seat.
I’ll ask my fellow Bay Staters to rise
And the liberal establishment to defeat.
Martha Coakley will try her luck;
But I will turn to my trusty truck,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm.”
Then he said “Good-night!” and with muffler on
Silently drove around Charlestown,
Just as the moon rose in the night sky,
Where the lit Capitol was looming high—
The Capitol—the Democrats’ redoubt,
Where every party hack and lout,
In Boston as in Washington, D.C.,
Was spending the taxpayers’ money
And the people thought it no longer funny....
That was all! And yet, through the gloom and the light,
The fate of a nation was riding that night;
And the spark struck out by Scott Brown, in his fight,
Kindled the land into flame as right met might....
You know the rest. On this blog you have read
How the Democratic Regulars fired and fled,
How the citizens gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the Democrats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.
So through the night rode Scott P. Brown;
And so through the night went his cry of alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm,
A cry of defiance, to every city and town,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a vote that shall echo for evermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and pluck,
The people will waken in every town
To the echoes of that old GM truck,
And the midnight message of Scott P. Brown.

Cheers!
yayyyyyyyyy fer us!
What A Great Evening!!!!!
and now Senator Scott Brown R Massachusetts
You did good, I went from totally unaware of the situation, to becoming one of his out of state volunteer callers.
PS: If anyone quotes this post in the future when I am attacking him for not being conservative enough, I know that day is coming, but getting him into the John F. Kennedy seat is a stunning, magnificent victory of historic proportions, that will probably stop the Obama radical agenda. Make sure that you include this PS when throwing my support back at me.
if you put your mind to something, I guess it can be done....
congratulations to all....
now lets finish the freepathon....
LOL. Yes, I remeber we had a number of thread, but the linked one was *wonderful* .......
December 29.... and just think, he’s now,
SCOTT BROWN, US SENATOR (ELECT) MA, (R) !!!!!!!!!!
ansell12,
We’re going to have to sit on our hands to hold our fire from time to time. He’s not a conservative’s conservative, but he’s going to make us proud often enough and he’s sure done that tonight!
I’m so happy you made calls for him! I didn’t know that until right now.
Scott Brown is an inspiration and he won his race with hard work, great campaigning and God Bless him for entering the race against all odds.
Blessings!!!!!
My impression is that the guy doesn’t hate conservatives, which to me means that he will sometimes vote against us as a Senator serving the voters of Massachusetts, but that he will not be deliberately trying to sabotage us, that is better than a few of our current people do.
I hope I’m (we are) right. This is a great night.
LOL! That’s a good one :)
RE-PING to Hildy!
I saw it when you first pinged me. I didn’t know I was supposed to reply! Sorry! What a great night!
Mr. Brown Goes to Washington!
