These number the days of Obama.
How's that Hopenchange working out for you? Massachusetts doesn't even like it.
Scott Brown, who calls himself a "new breed of Republican" won the Massachusetts Senate seat on Tuesday, a seat that was held for 46 years by the late "liberal lion," Ted Kennedy. Brown has vowed to vote against the health care bill currently in the Senate, a prospect which has set off a firestorm of debate and finger-pointing at the White House and on Capitol Hill.
Republicans are celebrating--and the election of a GOP US senator is indeed a big deal in liberal Massachusetts--but this is merely the beginning for a country that must dig itself out of a pile of Leftism that it has been being consumed by for one year.
Having at least one more Republican in the US Senator will at least temporarily halt the effort to open up direct access to the literal and figurative blood vessels of all Americans--an effort which is better recognized by the euphemism "Health Care Reform." We, the People, still have a lot of work to do.
I know there was a LOT of factors that went into the outside-the-margin-of-ACORN victory, not the least of which was a terrible campaign by Coakly. But I think the biggest takeaway from this is that if this can happen in Mass, of all places, just think about the firestorm that will be coming this November. I think the elitist ruling class actually bought the notion that the Tea Parties and 9/12ers were just a small bunch of rabble-rousers who were just stupidly following some right-wingnut radio clown, and dismissed them according.
Dismiss at your own peril, Washington.
