History is made!

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Republican Scott Brown has defeated democrat Martha Coakley in the special election to replace the late Senator Ted Kennedy.

This is despite having our Dear Leader, Barack Hussein Obama, and former President Clinton come here to the People’s Republic to stump for Coakley.

So, this is the third democrat candidate that BHO has visited and campaigned for.  All three have lost.  He’s four for four if you count his trip to Copenhagen and not getting the Olympics for Chicago.

The democrats will try to deny this simple fact, but the truth is that this election is very much a vote against Obama’s failed administration and policies.  He can try to deal with this reality or continue to attempt to drive the country down the wrong path.

Quick twitter roundup

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Some good stuff I’ve seen on Twitter:

“Bill Clinton coming to MA for Martha Coakley & the SEIU is paying for attack ads for Martha against Scott Brown. Sexual predators & thugs for Martha!” — Kathleen Beaulieu

I wonder if the commedians in Massachusetts are making any jokes about Martha Coakley’s slutty flight attendent look?

Martha Coakley can’t get enough money from the traditional Dem establishment to match you, so she is going to SEIU for a 700k ad buy. — Patrick Ruffini

Mass Republican candidate for Senate raises $1 Million in one day!

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Scott Brown, the Republican running for uber-democrat Ted Kennedy’s old seat, raised $1 Million dollars in just one day.

That is truly amazing in the oh-so liberal People’s Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Or perhaps not. We residents of the Commonwealth got a sneak preview of ObamaAmerica with our own worthless Governor, Deval “Together We Can” Patrick. Patrick had zero executive experience when he took over the Governor’s office and his socialist policies, along with his kowtowing to the state employee unions and raising taxes while the state hemorrhages high tech jobs, have given us a unique perspective of what allowing our Dear Leader to implement his socialist policies will do to the country.

Update: Three Massachusetts news papers have endorsed Scott Brown. The Worcester Telegram & Gazette, the Boston Herald and the Lowell Sun. The Boston Globe is so deep in the DNC’s pocket, they would endorse a convicted felon as long as the felon was running as a democrat.

Pelosi losing her iron grip on House democrats?

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

It appears so, Politico reports that freshman democrat congressman Parker Griffith of Alabama is leaving the democrat party and join the Republicans.

Griffith, a medical doctor, is no fan of ObamaCare it seems.

A radiation oncologist who founded a cancer treatment center, Griffith plans to blast the Democratic health care bill as a prime reason for his decision to switch parties—and is expected to cite his medical background as his authority on the subject.

Monday Book Pick: Going Rogue

Going Rogue by Gov. Sarah Palin

It’s coming out tomorrow and has been a best seller for weeks. The Associated Press has managed to get an advanced copy, or so they claim, and has eleven so-called “reporters” doing opposition research on it already.

That is more vetting by the, ahem, media than Barack Obama got during the entire 2008 campaign season! It makes you wonder why the folks who were so infatuated with BHO are so afraid of this Alaskan Hockey Mom with actual government executive experience.

The shifting morals of Arlen Spector

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Let us go back to 2001. Squishy lefty RINO Arlen Spector condemned Vermont Senator Jim Jefford’s cowardly move to the democrat party. According the the LA Times:

Specter said then- Vermont Sen. Jim Jeffords’ decision to become an independent was disruptive to the functioning of Congress. He proposed a rule forbidding party switches that had the effect of vaulting the minority to majority status in the middle of a congressional session.

“If somebody wants to change parties, they can do that,” Specter said at the time. “But that kind of instability is not good for governance of the country and the Senate.”

Let us also look at Arlen Spector’s own word from earlier this month:

“A vote for Specter is a vote for denying Harry Reid and the Democrats a filibuster-proof Senate.”

The bottom line is that Spector looked at the polls for the Republican Primary in Pennsylvania and saw that he was going to loose big time. Given that Pennsylvania went for our Dear Leader in 2008, and that most of those votes came out of Spector’s base of Philadelphia, he decided that he had a better change of re-election as a democrat in the general election.

Arlen Spector’s party switch isn’t about Republican or democrat policies. It’s all about Arlen Spector.

Update: Spector’s switch isn’t being praised by everybody on the left. Rachel Maddow is now calling him a DINO.
