Massachusetts: Olbermann Cries Racism

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years.  The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

When was the last time that Massachusetts had a Republican senator?

Edward Brooke, 1967-1979.  A black guy.

Any bets on the Dems trying to get Obama to sign the Healthcare bill tonight?

There had been chatter on the news over the weekend that the Senate would force the House to accept the Senate bill and no further debate or vote would be needed...just Obama's signature.

This time last year I'd have thought it was a tinfoil kook idea.

Not anymore.

Charles Krauthammer said tonight on Fox that if Brown wins, unless the Dems can switch a Republican vote......the health Care Bill is dead..........and with it pretty much the rest of Obamas agenda......

Juan Williams actually said with a straight face...that Obama still has a huge amount of political capital on the healthcare issue and that he should continue to push forward to get this bill done.

The GOP better not take this gift from Mass and screw it up. The Blue Dogs better take notice, as well as any reach-across-aisle McCain types.

Reid just released a statement saying that Brown will be seated "when the proper paperwork is received".


Funny...he wasn't making statements like that in the special election in New York a few months back.

He can't have too much left. Between Virginia, New Jersey, now Mass, plus losing the Olympics and the failure of Dopenhagen, he's got to be running low.

Gotta ask.

From what I've heard and read of this lady, she was horrible. Did the Dem's throw this like the GOP did with McCain?

No she believed what the media said that the seat was hers.  She ran her election like it was a formality...Brown ran like he intended to win.

Perfect example...she's supposed to be making a concession speech and she's hitting talking points from her campaign speech.

Honestly?  Any other year she would have won in a landslide.   

Make no doubt about it, this is a vote against Obama and the super majority.

Greta van Facelift is doing everything she can to take the blame for this loss off of Coakley and right at the feet of the Obama administration.
