Yup. I have experienced that fine state of affairs before.

LOL! Thanks for the free pyschoanalysis. You, too, suffer from a serious lack of reading comprehension. Oh, well.

By the way, you should address your insults to the proper person. I don’t know who this “Scotsman” person is, but you owe him an apology.
Must be more of that reading comprehension thingy I was mentioning earlier.

Sounds like some sort of collector’s item.

The 21” Authentic Harry Reid Doll. Pull his string and he’ll utter a classic liberal catchphrase! And if you’re ever overweight, leave him on your table for instant weight loss.

I work in an academic environment, so as you can well imagine, I have to watch my tongue. There is of course a small circle of "underground" conservatives where I work, but we are forced to stay just that - underground.

I have a cousin in the same situation. He said that on those occasions when he's committed heresy and espoused a conservative viewpoint, he's often approached by a fellow apostate who expresses relief that he's not alone.

We laughingly compare it to early Christians drawing a fish in the sand to identify themselves secretly to one another :-)

“I don’t understand why you are picking on a
Conservativefrom MA.explain please.”
His post was picking on a conservative? Are you frigging kidding me?
It appeared to me that he was simply espousing a common sense view. Are you going to accuse him, or me, of “hate speech” next?

Hi Trooprally - Thanks for the ping. I see this upcoming election as a chance, even if the odds are low, to get a foot in the door of turning the tide against the outright insanity of liberalism.

Is Scott Brown like Ronald Reagan ? No way, but in light of our country’s downward spiral into full blown socialism, I don’t think we can afford to wait for the perfect candidate in order to gain some ground. We already have two tires off the shoulder and we’re headed for the ditch, unless we do something.

If Scott brown casts just one vote to counter the communist (rat) party, then it’s step in the right direction. We haven’t had many of those lately. Also, I believe getting a republican in that senate seat would be worth more symbolically, than whatever steps/gains we may get legislative-wise would be, because, maybe, just maybe, the GOP and conservatives around the country might take another look at Mass. and instead of thinking of us as a lost cause, they might consider more support than we get now. And wouldn’t it be sweet to strike a blow to the red menace, albeit a small one, to kick off 2010 !

God is in control !

I want to wish you and Mrs. T a very Merry Christmas !!!!

V

I’m not “picking” on him.

He needs to realize that in MA, he’s outnumbered by probably 100k to one.

He’s hoping that things are going to change in that state.

But I’m guessing after this special election, it’ll just be a new guy scooping the same old garbage.

BARNEY FRANK IS FROM MA - they keep electing him when they should be demanding he be arrested.

That’s what Ma conservatives are facing (if there are any real conservatives left up there at all.)

Sorry if I offended. So, is he not allowed to be conservative because he’s in MA?
Let’s stay united and defeat the Rats. We have a great opportunity here.

He can be anything he wants too.

A couple of hundred people vs thousands? Good luck with that.

Especially when the Republican is probably a RINO - it is Ma.

this is a great opportunity to derail this mess now not later.

Its a off election and i bet there is very lower turn out. this is a perfect time for the tea parties and the Palin/Limbaughs to show up. Support the guy and stop the insanity.. The guy called laura ingraham’s show today and said electing him stops the insanity.

I cast my vote for stopping the insanity.

"this is a great opportunity to derail this mess now not later."

That has been my point all along. A victory here would be two-fold. First, and foremost, a Scott Brown victory would remove Harry Reid's filibuster-proof 60 vote majority. That stops Obamacare dead in its tracks. Secondly, an off-season GOP victory in Massachusetts sends a VERY strong message to the rest of the nation that a second Republican Revolution is well within reach.

This election is tremendously important. A Scott Brown victory on January 19th would have a profound effect on more than one level.
