Massachusetts Election Day

Could this be the beginning of the Democrats losses?

Can the seat Ted Whino Kennedy held for so many years really be won by .... *gasp!* .... a Republican!?!

In a state where every major elected official is a Democrat; where Democrats outnumber Republicans 3 to 1 ... can Scott Brown (a Republican) win this election.

They say while Democrats outnumber Republicans, there are more Independents than both parties combined.

I love Scott Brown's comment during the debate after hearing all this junk from Kennedy's widow and others about how the people need to preserve Kennedy's legacy and keep his seat ... Brown said, "with all due respect, it is not Kennedy's seat; it's the people's seat." Simply awesome!

I know everything is against Brown to win ... but I'm hoping and praying Indie's, Republicans and conservative Democrats blow away voting records, help elect Brown in a landslide and defeat BHO's healthcare.

This election is all about healthcare; Brown has said a number of times that if elected, he's going to be the vote to stop it from passing. Coakley has said she will be the deciding vote to pass it.

Libs are so scared about losing, they're calling on people to cheat by trying to vote multiple times. Lib talk show loser Ed Schultz says he would do it to keep Brown from winning.

If you live in MA - vote for Brown! This is the only opportunity, legally, to slap BHO and the Democrats in the face!

Re: Massachusetts Election Day

My hope is that Brown wins by enough to mitigate all the democratic cheating which will be taking place.....

We can hope.

They also said that if Brown wins they will hold the installation pass the voting time on the Healthcare issue.

Dirty politics there.

Yes, we can!

Brown needs to win by enough to stop a long, drawn-out recount.

I read somewhere yesterday that GOP lawyers already fired a shot across the bow on that. Congressional precedent is that, if elected by a percentage larger than needed for recount, Brown is (again by precedent) a Senator at that time. He doesn't need to wait to be certified. If he wins, he'll begin getting paid as a US Senator tomorrow ... not once he gets certified.

Plus I think the Democrats will tread lightly on this. They're under the glaring bright lights and microscope of public scrutiny on this. They will definitely get a backlash in november if they try anything shady.

Re: Massachusetts Election Day

Where has any Democratic Party Operative called on people to cheat by voting multiple times in the Mass election?


Also, doesn't anyone remember our very own Rush telling folks in PA and other places who were Republican to vote in the Democrat primaries to muddy up the results and to draw out the process?


He was telling folks to vote for Hillary because in his mind Hillary would have been easier to beat than Barack.

But that's not cheating is it? It's underhanded, dishonest even, but not quite cheating.



Yeah, us Republicans do things right by the book always.

Thankfully I'm a registered Indie, otherwise I'd take offense with you using "us Republicans." You're anything but a Republican. RINO maybe, but even that's pushing it. C'mon JD, wear your liberal label with pride. That's what you are. Be proud of what you are.

Here's the link to Ed Schultz's comment about voting multiple times....

Quote:
ED SCHULTZ, HOST: I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts, I'd try to vote ten times. I don't know if they'd let me or not, but I'd try to. Yeah, that's right, I'd cheat to keep these (edited) out. I would. 'Cause that's exactly what they are.
Source

The difference between what Rush did, in calling for people to register to vote in an open primary, and what Schultz did is pretty simple. Rush's plan didn't break any rules or law ... Schultz's idea does. But you liberals don't care. As long as your guy (or girl in this case) beats the bad Republican, who cares HOW they do it.

Classic!! Again Jermyn, you just change the subject.

Because the conservatives are more the mainstream of American the Demos know the only way to win seats is to cheat and to "change the subject". Of course, I could change the subject to Obama'a Acorn, but that is another thread!! Demos cheating is so commonplace that even the justice dept, just shrugs its shoulders!!! JMO

Isn't politics great!!!

Re: Massachusetts Election Day

My apology for the quote with the bad language from Ed Schultz. I should have edited it out before posting.
