Democratic Rats Fighting As They Desert the Sinking Coakley Ship
The Lid/Various ^ | 1/19/10 | The Lid

Boy oh Boy, when rats desert the ship they get really cranky. Today the White House did its best to make sure Martha Coakley (or Marsha if you believe the Kennedys) gets 100% of the blame for the fact that her election to the Senate is in Trouble. Coakley's people are blaming it on the White House, Obama's Policy, and the national Democratic Party committees:

The White House would have helped out Martha Coakley's campaign earlier if she had only asked, White House senior adviser David Axelrod said today. President Obama made a last minute campaign stop for Coakley on Sunday, but many Democrats wondered why he didn't make an earlier, stronger push.

"The White House did everything we were asked to do," Axelrod told reporters today, according go the Baltimore Sun. "I think if we had been asked earlier, we would have responded earlier."

"And in private conversations, Hill sources say White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has blamed Coakley, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Democratic pollster Celinda Lake for failing to see Brown's surge in time to stop it."

On the other hand one of Coakley's advisers, angry over the White House comments gave Coakley's side(anonymously)to Politico

Democrats concerns with Obama's Afghanastain plan forced Coakley to oppose the Afghan war in the primary, which hurt her in the general.

A woman of principle !!

This is an answer to prayer: that factions would arise among the Demorats and that those Demorats in representative government would distance themselves from the occupant in the White House.

The Democrat had more money, more voters registered and more name recognition than the Republicans in the race for the “liberal lion” . If they lose here in all likely hood they are going to lose everywhere assuming of course the environment is just as toxic today in November

right wing groups pumped significant amounts of money into Brown’s campaign allowing him to go up with ads first, including negative attack ads funded by the Swift Boat and Willie Horton groups.

Garsh sarg, are these groups still around?

If there is such crime as “hate laughing”, I’m going to be sent to prison on several counts.

Before this is over, I’ll likely be classified as a “serial hate laugher”.

This cartoon is cracking me up... these fools are tripping over themselves. LMAO

All the blame is directed towards people rather than the Rats behind closed doors brand of Marxism, fascist health control, and spend the economy into oblivion policies.

Let the Rats consume their young in a frenzy that even planned parenthood clinics couldn’t keep up with.

But by no means give the GOP any endorsements.

Too bad liberals are so afraid of firearms they'd never pick 'em up! On the other hand, thank God they are, or we might have been staring down the barrels of an armed Obamacorps before now:

Last year, the Republican party was dead, never to rise again. Three weeks ago, the Eagles were the NFC favorite for the Super Bowl. Six days ago, the most common prediction for the Super Bowl was the Cowboys and the Chargers.

Imagine what we'll know tomorrow.

Republicans let Rats in power because they fumbled the ball badly. The Democrats have fumbled worse. The Rats can't win in November, but the Republicans can still lose it.

NOt too sure how things are going in New Hampshire other than cold but I’d bet the bank things aren’t going to get all better there any time soon.

Yeah, right.

Like the obamanistas would have a prayer against We The People in terms of a gunfight.

LOL!

One can only imagine how many angry phone calls Kennedy got over that one.

The King of Lies probably called him too.
