Title: Markey wins Kerry's U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts special election
Post by: Chris_ on June 25, 2013, 08:38:37 PM: Long-term Democratic U.S. Rep. Edward Markey beat out Republican newcomer Gabriel Gomez Tuesday in Massachusettsâ€™ special election for John Kerryâ€™s U.S. Senate seat.

Markeyâ€™s win helps keep a Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate. Currently, Democrats have a 54-46 majority over their Republican counterparts in the Senate.

A win by Gomez â€“ who was considered an underdog in the race â€“ could have helped the GOP regain control of the Senate during next yearâ€™s midterm elections. Despite lofty aspirations by Republicans, a Gomez win was always considered a long-shot.

Had Gomez won, we wouldn't have known the difference. Mass is lost. Sanity is not found there anymore.

I'm wondering if that is what you said after not voting for Romney. How'd that work out for this country?

Well, speaking as someone who DID in fact vote for Romney, and had to hold his nose to do so, it wouldn't have made much difference.

The GOP and Democrats are both big-government statists. NEITHER has the interest of the citizens at heart. BOTH are ****ing this country nine ways from Sunday. Romney was Obama-lite. And anyone who has followed politics will tell you, if you put a RINO up against a Democrat/liberal, the Democrat will win. At least the liberal is honest about who/what they are. If you put a CONSERVATIVE up against a liberal, the conservative will win.

Just about time to scrap it and start over.
