What the heck makes you think they’ll have even 51 votes after a result like that?

Sure they will. All they have to do is count all the senators from the rest of the 57 states that 0bama visited during the campaign.

I don’t think it will work...I believe a message has been sent regardless. They are grabbing at straws and they know it...we got into their soft underbelly with this one and they know it.

Blessings!

He’ll need plenty of poll watchers and I hope our side’s lawyers will volunteer their services for one of their own, especially since he’s a JAG lawyer. (I hope that’s not redundant).

Yep. Revolutionary War II and I predict the members of congress that shoved this onto us will be the first casualties.

Be prepared guys. I hope all of you have at least one gun. let's get it on.

As far as I know, the Senate establishes its own rules. And it only takes a majority vote to make or change a rule. Reid & Co can do whatever they wish (within reason), but it will come with a high price. Likewise, when and if the people get pissed enough to throw the bums out and give the Republicans the majority, they can make them eat sand. If they have the balls.

I’m so heartened to read your comments!

I don’t think it’ll work either, particularly when Barney Frank has issued his clarion call today that “healthcare is dead” if Scott is elected.

BTW, 61% in Massachusetts DO NOT want obamacare!

WIN WITH 61% SCOTT !!!!!!!!

The problem is that when someone busts a cap on one of these traitors, Obama is gonna implement martial law. He’ll start passing Executive Orders left and right and effectively make himself a dictator. For the world of me, I don’t know why some people can’t see this coming. Those that allied themselves with the Democrats may believe they’re doing the right thing, but they are only bringing evil upon themselves and all of us.

This part really smokes me:

“Why would you hand the keys to the car back to the same guys whose policies drove the economy into the ditch and then walked away from the scene of the accident?” Van Hollen said. “For the Republicans to say vote for us and bring back the guys who got us into this mess in the first place, I don’t think it’s a winner.”

The last time the Republicans had control of the congress, unemployment was at it's lowest and the stock market was at it's highest. Then came the 2006 elections, the dems took over the House and Senate, and the economy went off the deep end.

And they are trying to pin the blame on republican policies?

They should have notified Barney Frank who said, today “ said “Healthcare is dead is Scott Brown is elected.”

If this is really their intention, then there’s no need to send obama and the other democrats to campaign for Martha is there?
