GOP Wins Massachusetts
First Obama blows the Olympic bid for Shortshanks, now he gives away Ted Kennedy's birthright?
- In an epic upset in liberal Massachusetts, Republican Scott Brown rode a wave of voter anger to win the U.S. Senate seat held by the late Edward M. Kennedy for nearly half a century, leaving President Barack Obama's health care overhaul in doubt and marring the end of his first year in office.
- The loss by the once-favored Democrat Martha Coakley in the Democratic stronghold was a stunning embarrassment for the White House after Obama rushed to Boston on Sunday to try to save the foundering candidate. Her defeat on Tuesday signaled big political problems for the president's party this fall when House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates are on the ballot nationwide.
Brown's victory was the third major loss for Democrats in statewide elections since Obama became president. Republicans won governors' seats in Virginia and New Jersey in November.
And Brown's victory speech? Very, dare we say, presidential?

TIME FOR CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on what party would nominate a State Senator with only a few years in a high political office?
Oops.
Anyway, expect President Obama to be facing the terror of Wasilla in 2012.
God, Save the American Republic!
thank you Massachusetts
This is an AWESOME VICTORY! O'Bama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed and the rest of the liberal scum have been ignoring America's dislike of the big government big tax agenda and now a message has been sent. The Pelosi and Reed types still wont listen, but many others will. November can't come soon enough. The majoriety of Americans do not want all this government control. Nancy Pelosi will cause many democrats to lose their seats. Keep up the good work Nancy!
OHHHHH!THE WINDS OF CHANGE ALREADY!OK ,BUT PLEASE DONT F..CK WITH OUR PENSION AND THE SOCIAL SECURITY BILL!I WANNA BAIL IN 8 YRS AND DO SOMETHIN ELSE ..IM DONE WITH THIS !!
It is a start to taking our country back...how many of you have voted early in the February Primary.
Oust the Democrats!
Let the revolution begin!
It seems that more and more people are starting to see that their "Messiah" isn't all he's cracked-up to be.
The momentum has begun in what will hopefully be the end of incumbents in the next election.
Take action, people! Save this country before it's totally flushed down the shitter by the Democratic party.
The great American democracy at work...We need balance in the senate and house...I do believe...
"when it comes to terrorists, our tax dollars should go to weapons to defeat them, not lawyers to defend them." Man I am drinking the Scott Brown Kool-Aid. I also loved the numerous jabs he took at lord on high barack hussein obama. Hopefully this guy can go a few terms without stepping on his dick, and we'll have ourselves a viable face for the republican party.
it would be nice to get rid of all the entrenched democrats here.problem is....too many freeloaders that need the big government democrats and too many sheeple who need others to do the deep thinking.obamacare is gonna cost the dems alot of seats in congress....ahhh the change we were waiting.
Free at last! Thank God Almighty, Massachusetts is free at last!
Frank, Reid, Pelosi and ewventually the messiah will all lose.....
The Best news i heard since the Olympic bid bust!!!
cant wait to see the lack of coverage in the Scumtimes and Dripune.
Daley dont want us getting any ideas!
YYYAAAAAAAAA
Goes to show that Ted Kennedy is in hell right now.
They were chanting Kerry is next
"It's not the Kennedy seat.
It's not the democrats seat.
IT'S THE PEOPLE'S SEAT" !!!
We, the people, need to take back our country.
i'm glad to see that those who put him(obama)in the white house have seen the error of thier ways.hopefully the rest of the country will follow.there is still hope for america.god bless the police,military and america.
"Obama rushed to Boston on Sunday to try to save the foundering candidate"
I think it's pretty clear that Obama showing up to support anything is the kiss of death. He's 2 for 2 with the Olympics and this, thank God.....
Im glad Brown won. Obama needs to focus more on the enonomy or hes going to get tossed in 2012 hopefully to ron paul.
All Obama has to do is fight those treasonous free trade deals and the job outsourcing. Thats the REAL reason why the economy is in the toilet.
We can only hope and pray the "Old Scratch" himself is joining in the celebration by giving the Kennedy brothers an extra twist with the hot poker today!
TO: "Insignificant" SCC
I'll have you know that SCC had a visitor unknown for almost 14 minutes at 4:35 AM (1:35 AM Alaska time)from WASILLA, ALASKA, the hometown of a "Tina Fey lookalike". This guest was checking your first thread mentioning the victory of the new junior senator from Massachusetts.
God bless you, Sarah!
Hopefully, the Massachusetts, nay the naive American electorate, now realizes that "hope" and "change" can be our worst nightmare.
Just the first step in taking our country back from the radicals that somehow found themselves in power.
Harry Reid is in serious trouble in Nevada. Many other leftist senators and representatives are in trouble. Some are just giving up and not running like Dodd from Connecticut.
It has been said that you need a Carter to get a Reagan. Good times lie ahead.
When the pinkos of the "Peoples Republic of Massachusetts" vote out a fellow commie, this means things willl be very difficult for the Dummycrats in future elections.
There is a chance for Illinois and Chicago to rid themselves of DemocRATS or should I say PROGRESSIVES who have taken over the Democratic party. It is not the best option , but the only viable one; VOTE REPUBLICAN for everything. A third party of CONSERVATIVES is hopefully in our future.
God bless the USA and my beloved Department.
I think HOPE went down the toilet, CHANGE snuck out the back door and the lovefest is over.
Obama hasn't done shit for the college students. Not one damn dime of all the loans and programs he promised would start flowing. I hope those kids realize that when Michelle and Barack were riding with them in all the buses and listening so intently all they wanted was their vote. They were a demographic he had to tap. Nothing more.
Every college student or graduate should be screaming at the top of their lungs about the loan programs that never materialized.
On the other hand, it's a good lesson for them. They thought they knew more than older folks that have seen and heard this shit before.
I don't think you should vote early.
Let's wait and see who has a chance and then get out and vote.
Goes to show that Ted Kennedy is in hell right now.

Don't get cocky, boys. Thats what we did last time when we had a majority and we started acting like tax and spend democrats.
Lets face it, Brown is more of a centrist than anything.
the shot heard around the world!
scott brown for president,SEMPER FI BITCHES!
Can you hear us now?
Man, this guy could be a contender! As long as there are no skeletons, he could be presidential material. WOW.
Dec. 16, 1773 & Jan. 19, 2010:
Starting dates of real change?
Thank God that Scott Brown won. I think we have a good chance of getting a republican senator this election, but what we have to work on is getting Dick Durbin voted out when he comes up for election.
It is a time for change!!
Change You can Believe In.
By the way take a look at this.
http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/election2008/ig/Election-Funny-Pictures/Obama-Borat.htm
"Hows that change working out for you" ? LOL
We now know where Scott Brown stands on healthcare, however, we have no idea what his attitude is on border control, amnesty, cap and tax, etc. Don't get too caught up in him being a conservative republican. That we have to wait and see.
Yoo hooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
I want President Obama to come to Chicago and personally campaign for all of the Democrats here so that we can follow Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts in our elections.
Now this is change you can believe in!
Folks,
In Illinois we are also voting as I write this. We have to send a message to Michael Madigan and John Cullerton that we are tired of their bullshit.
Encourage everyone to vote and send e-mails to everyone who resides in this State to get out and vote and not for the incumbants.
Channel 9 morning news poll. " Do you think President Obama's doing a good job? " 77% voted no, 23 % voted yes. That's encouraging. He's losing support in his home state.
hahahahahahah you liberal assh*les!!!
A large number of Caucasians voted for the Messiah as a way to assuage their guilt over past injustices, but, as 1/20/2010 06:49:00 AM wrote,
"It has been said that you need a Carter to get a Reagan. Good times lie ahead.",
it appears the assuagers did us a favor. People are waking up and things are looking up. RWR, please give your strength and wisdom to a Savior to dispatch the Messiah!
I think it's pretty clear that Obama showing up to support anything is the kiss of death. He's 2 for 2 with the Olympics and this, thank God.....
1/20/2010 04:40:00 AM
================================
2 for 2? You got the Olympics, the Virginia Governors race, the New Jersey Governors race, Copenhagen, and now this. Obama can't buy a win for his people these days. Jersey and Mass are dem strongholds, so these are particularly telling of the fact that his golden touch didn't last long.
If this can happen in MA it could happen here.
Turbin Durbin could be next.
Buck Naked
(not a cop)
And Mass is a largely democratic state, just like Ill. People in Mass stood up and finally said NO to the democrats. It's a great example and and could be done here.
NOW TO MR RICHARD CRANIUM AKA. DICK HEAD DALEY "VOTE THAT SCUMBAG OUT OF OFFICE NEXT. THE IGNORANT ASSHOLE THAT HE IS . HE BELONGS WITH THE LIKES OF REED, PELOSI , AND THE REST OF THE LIBERAL LEFT (ON THE WAY OUT )..........HEY DICK HEAD WE GOT PLENTY OF AR15'S DOWN HERE IN RETIREMENT HEAVEN.
MOUNTAIN HOME ARKANSAS.......NO F.O.I.D. CARDS NEEDED. AND NO REGESTRATION OF WEAPONS ASSHOLE...
You betcha!
Palin/Brown 2012!
Exactly one year to the day and the OBAMA EXPERIMENT is over.
Conclusion: Complete Failure.
Man o man those ACORN workers are going to be working their fat asses off to make up for this...
AMEN !
Hey look on the bright side...
Obama wanted change....
NOW HE IS REAPING WHAT HE SOWED!
Im looking forward to the west and south side riots in 2012 when Obama is voted out of office. God Bless America!
We need the Brown mentality here in Cook County. Someone who believes that money should be put towards law enforcement and building jails to house the criminals rather than putting money towards lawyers to defend them and free everything to keep them alive.
Do not forget our own "Turban Durbin" the defender of islamofascists,is part of that Cabal. He should be impeached and forced to leave Illinois.
I can't wait for SNL this weekend, this is gonna be good!!
The great American democracy at work...We need balance in the senate and house...I do believe...
well said. maybe balance will prevent the borrow and spend gop and the tax and spend dems from feeling secure enough to spend our money with such impunity.
Thank you, Massachusettes!
FEB. 02 don't forget to Vote Garrido for Cook County.
Obama is too the Messiah. He is is going to resurect the Republican Party.
YES HE CAN, YES HE CAN!!!
Funny how they call him an "insurgent" in the left wing media. I love it, a candidate that the republican party can rally around.
Well I hate to rain your parade but Scott Brown will be a thorn in the side of the republican party. Scott brown is nothing more than a moderate democrat disguised as a republican. Look at his voting record in the state senate.
Another thing this vote was not a referendum against Obama and health care. Mass. already has universal health care. They had it since 2006. The democrats just put out a piss poor candidate.
So our nationwide readers understand; at this point in the Chicago Politics Playbook, which Rahm and David helped to write, it says "throw someone under a bus." With any luck, they'll throw each other under that bus. It's starting to look like President Obama will be known historically as: "THE GREAT DITHERER."
http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/01/in-dc-daley-makes-plea-for-unusual-jobs-bill.html
dickhead quote from article:
Daley also urged federal officials to stop bashing Wall Street. "You can rap and beat up the business community on a daily basis in Washington, but they create jobs," he said. "Government does not create jobs."
Obama is the best thing to happen to the Republicans since Jimmy Carter. Keep up the bullshit, dumbocrats! The people are finally waking up! They know that all of you commie asswipes are going to stick it to them and this is their answer to you. I can't wait for the next round of elections.
I hope Barry had fun buzzing Ground Zero. He won't get a second term at this rate.
OBAMA....OBAMA....... CAN'T WAIT TIL THOSE CHANTS ARE GONE FOREVER..............
All politicians should be listening!! No matter which party you are for or support or whatever. Let this outcome of this election tell all of them that they ALL need to listen to the people. For its the people that actually run this country. Maybe not so much now, more the more that we can control, the better we will be off. The government is not here to rule the people, but to direct and guide them to a better future. Not to place rules and regulation at ever turn. Let us keep our very rights that our fore fathers have given us and let us pursue that happiness. This all may be the beginning, but far from the end. We must take this country back from the very government that has become bigger and uglier at every election. Not to take over by violence, but telling this men and women that we will vote them out!! Hear our voices!!
The economy should have been the fore front of this administration and jobs should have been created to support this health care bill they say we so desperately need. To start with, all the government really needed to do was to say to the insurance companies, no more pre-existing conditions and that would be health care in itself. So, to all voters....vote these socialistic SOB's out!!
If the state of Massachusetts can dump a democrat out of the seat that was pre-ordained to be democratic for the next twenty years, there is hope for Chicago, Crook County and the state of Illinois. Dump Richie, Todd and Quinn! VOTE REPUBLICAN!
There may be hope for this country after all
"THE MASSACHUSETTS MIRACLE!"
THANK YOU MASSACHUSETTS FOR STEPPING UP AND SHOUTING OUT! We who believe in the Constitution..in life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, FREEDOM! are taking our country back from the progressives/socialists/marxists/communists/revolutionaries in the White House. Two slogans to remember from Brown's camp..."Scott Brown...the "Scott" heard 'round the world." And, "the Red Votes are coming, the Red Votes are coming." Check out the following to see what Scott Brown is about...the man is organized, he runs a tight ship and he is pro-active...the link at youtube is www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nEoW-P81-O&feature=player_embedded. Not to be missed.
Let's roll and support those conservative Republicans in all states, in any form. It's a state by state uphill fight to return us all to the United States of America and the freedoms and liberty for which it stands.
Are people actually starting to wake up?
can you say filibuster--- hopefully the only thing that obama will be able to change is his underwear......oh and also more beer summits with anti police anti whitey types....
I'm PROUD of the state of Mass.
I'm glad that the Chicago way is being rejected in a big way by my fellow Americans. They've seen the hubris, arrogance, and in your face politics for what it is.
Obama's first selection was the vulgar and uncouth Rahm Emanuel. At least I'm glad that the foul mouth ballerina is no longer my Congressman.
Now if only my fellow Chicagoans would wake up. I'm glad to be part of the 17% of Chicagoans who voted for McCain and wanted to deny the Chicago machine more power.
I hope that the GOP faithful do not nominate Ryan for governor as he is unelectable. He'd be a drag on the entire ticket.
It should be a good year for the GOP. I'm hoping that my fellow Illinoisans are as fed up as I am.
I'll be pulling a democratic ballot so I can cast a vote against Stroger and his 10.25% sales tax. I'm not sure whether to vote for Preckwinkle or O'Brian. Any thoughts?
"samurai"
he's not conservative by any stretch of the imagination
that doesn't mean shit for anyone here, when are voters going to get there heads out of there ass in this state and vote these thieving Democratic liberals out of office especially that little COCSUCKER in City Hall.. Congrats to Brown
"For once in her life"...I wonder if Michelle is still proud of her country?????????
We win! We win! Weeeeeeeeeee
I'll be pulling a democratic ballot so I can cast a vote against Stroger and his 10.25% sales tax. I'm not sure whether to vote for Preckwinkle or O'Brian. Any thoughts?
I early voted for Preckwinkle. Strikes me as the least bad of the four candidates.
Stroger is a clown.
Brown is apparently involved in another scandal involving "donations" from her employees.
O'Brien strikes me as just another Irish pol.
By default Preckwinkle got my vote.
I don't pull a GOP ballot because they are irrelevant to Cook County politics at this stage. Whoever wins the Dem primary is likely to win the general election.
Of course if Stroger or Brown win the GOP has a chance.
change we can believe in
republican senator replaces a
kennedy
This is the time to regain and oust the Dems! My the Right move forward and get this country back on it's feet! Vote the Dems out of office in Illinois starting with Daley, Stroger, and Quinn.
Martha Coakley could possibly be the Democrats new Bill Buckner
"The 'SCOTT' heard around the world!"
This one's for you, MaryJo Kopeckne.
Obama looked disgusted after Brown's win. I was very happy that Scott Browm won. History is repeating itself. The president and his inner circle are arrogant.
VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its not all gloom in Massachusetts, they do have something to celebrate:
Ted Kennedy has been sober for 90 days!!!!!
I hear he was very easy to embalm.
"I hear he was very easy to embalm.
1/20/2010 09:42:00 PM"
do you really think they bothered to?
Another thing this vote was not a referendum against Obama and health care. Mass. already has universal health care. They had it since 2006. The democrats just put out a piss poor candidate.
_________________________________
You're an idiot! Nice try though. Mass has universal heath care but it is way over budget and they see that. Brown said clearly that he was going to vote against the health care bill and the people elected him. The message is pretty clear. The people want the government to be working on the economy and unemployment right now. They do not want them raising taxes and spending outrageous amounts of money on something like health care. More importantly the people want the government to listen to them or face being thrown out of office. Both party's need to know that they answer to the people. Democrats don't suddenly vote for a Republican just because they don't like the democrat candidate. Ted Kennedy was re- elected for 30 odd years after all.
To 1/20/2010 01:14:00 PM
Yes, genius, it does have to do with health care, and numerous other things which I will not delve into. The people of Mass. have, as you stated, had health care. This is exactly why they don't feel that they should foot the bill for the benefits which could have been strewn upon their fellow citizens in the states of Loisianna and Nebraska. The people of these states stood to benefit from unseemly deals procured by their arrogant, 'representative' Senators. So, yes, it did have to do with health care, and to a much greater degree, the Constitutionality of with which it is cast/forced upon us...stop drinking the democratic kool-aid while you are waiting for Rachel Maddow to provide you with your next thought.
Scott Brown's election is not a HUGE victory, it is a start. As pointed out Brown is a LIBERAL R.I.N.O. The USA needs real conservative leaders to put her back on track.
Please do NOT vote for the R.I.N.O. Mark Kirk for U.S. Senate!
Mark Kirk is a leftwing DemocRat masquerading as a straight Republican but really the complete opposite in every manner.
Pay attention, vote conservative!
Although I believe that Brown is a bit more than a R.I.N.O, he is by no means a strong conservative vote. He iw obviously against what is going on in Congress over health care, but I believe his conceern is mostly about the apparent Democratic rush to pass a bill. Clearly he is correct in resisting a "rush to judgement," but I don't believe that he is against some kind of overhaul of the system. I believe that if any of us look carefully at the health care system, and if we forget our general "me first" outlook, it is obvious that some fixing of the system is called for, primarily among the working poor and middle class. Those employed at good income levels generally have pretty good health insurance options, the wwalthy (whatever that is) have no difficulty, and the poor are pretty well covered by Medicaid and public hospital emergency rooms. The working poor and working middle class, especiall those on a part time basis are the folks that have a tough, expensive time getting coverage, even if they can find a group to get into. They are the people that are going bankrupt or losing houses over high healt costs. The Federal Government should try to find a way to help those folks, but destroying the health insurance industry or instituting costly, universal care is not the answer. Whoever said that the election of Brown is only a start in removing the current administration and the current majority in Congress is exactly correct.
Sorry to be so long.

Those Obama t-shirts are looking a little faded about now. Where is that fat broad who worked herself up in a frenzy jumping up and down with "yes we can" on election night. That was a classic, and Jessee's tears. So much for change anyone can believe in.

Ok Larry or Jeff--which one of you crazys is this?
All of you people who are clamoring for Republicans to rule or Democrats to obtain and expand their seats are idiots. You don't seem to get it do you? That both of them are the problem.
It's so funny every two to four years. "Damn, I am upset with Bush, Cheney and the Republicans. I will vote the Democrats in". Then it becomes "oh shoot, the Democrats are idiots, I will vote in the Republicans". Then in a few years "let's vote out the Republicans".
The only solution is to vote for independent candidates who are not part of the two party structure and have the interests of our nation at heart. Nothing less will do.
I will take a mass. "Republican" over her any day. I hope he will not step on his dick. My observation... is that he will. His behavior, and his persona; must get better. he might have been a little tipsy on his acceptance speech. But, at least he connected to middle America. All I know is the "mass" media is going to comb through his sisters underware to try to find fault.
Have you seen Scott Brown posing in the buff..He is not the Great White Hope...We need independants.
I'll be pulling a democratic ballot so I can cast a vote against Stroger and his 10.25% sales tax. I'm not sure whether to vote for Preckwinkle or O'Brian. Any thoughts?
__________________________________
If you're pulling a democratic ballot, vote for Tod Stroger. He is so reprehensible that we can guarantee a republican winning the presidency of Cook County. Wouldn't that be a hoot! Ole man Daley would be spinning in his grave, as I'm sure Jack and Teddy are doing right now! God Bless MaryJo Kopechne!
Everyone on this page seems to be celebrating Brown's victory in Mass. as a Republican, which is great. How about a Republican vote for Cook County Board President > GARRIDO. For those of you that don't like him personally try reading his message at www.garrido2010.com and it doesn't take a genius to lower taxes and cut out corruption but just doing the right thing. I also would like to know why SCC will not give him a link to SCC's "Links to Right Thinking People"???? In his debate with Keats > Garrido won hands down!!! VOTE GARRIDO!!!
Das ist das Ende. Das Ende.
