In case you havent heard, there is a special election in Massachusetts on January 19th to fill the late Ted Kennedys seat. While many of you may not really think much about a Senate race in Mass., this race will affect each of us on a national level. If Republican Scott Brown wins the seat he will be the 41st vote in the Senate that is against the Health Care Bill not to mention Cap & Trade. He will stop the Democrats from their 60 vote majority and therefore aid in stopping the insanity that has been continually passed in the most partisan fashion weve seen in years in Congress.
Browns opponent is Democrat Martha Coakley, the current Attorney General for the state. Coakley is a typical liberal cookie cutout. She will vote along party lines like the majority of them do and she will not care about what her constituents want nor what is best for them or the country. Reid would love to have Coakley in the seat because he could count on her to just step right into place (he wouldnt even have to buy her vote as he did with some of the Blue Dog Democrats). As much as many Conservatives didnt like Kennedy because of his ideology, he was much better than Coakley could ever even try to be because he did work across the aisle. She is not a good Democratic candidate to replace Kennedy.
You can learn more about Scott Brown by visiting his website: www.brownforussenate.com. You can also donate, volunteer and make phone calls even if you are not in Massachusetts. There is also a site called the Brown Brigade that supports Scott Brown: www.brownbrigade.ning.com. The support from people all over the country and even the world for Scott Brown on both Twitter and Facebook is overwhelming. Coakley is practically invisible on Twitter. There is also a little known Independent candidate, Joe Kennedy (not related to the Kennedys) who also does not have much support. Coakley is so arrogant that she refused to participate in many debates with her fellow Democrats during the primaries (not even to womens groups). Coakley is so arrogant that she refuses to debate Brown one on one because she knows that Kennedy is simply a distraction. You can view Coakleys site here: www.marthacoakley.com and Joe Kennedys here: www.joekennedyforsenate.com.
If you live in Massachusetts, remember to vote on January 19, 2010 rain, sleet or snow! This is already an historic race as Coakley could be the first woman from Mass. in the Senate and Brown is a Republican vying for Kennedys seat that was Democratic for decades. The last thing this state needs is a Senator who would actually be worse than Senator Kerry. The last thing this country needs is another liberal Democrat in Congress who will just vote whatever way Reid tells her. Support and a vote for Scott Brown could help kill the outrageous Health Care Bill and the ever looming Cap & Trade Bill, both of which he is against. The time for action is now! A win for Scott Brown is not only a win for the people of Massachusetts but a win for the entire country!
Imagine!
Scott Brown!
(If I pinged you before, please forgive me: I'm trying to get good coverage for this very hopeful--- and significant --- challenger.)
From Scott Browns campaign office:
"Scott is a conservative. In fact, he will be the most conservative Senator elected from MA since . . . Senator John F. Kennedy, who nowadays would be denounced by liberals as "a dangerous right-winger." JFK loved our country, and he knew that in a recession you don't raise taxes -- instead, you cut them. And as a man with chronic ailments, JFK had no desire to our health system into one resembling Bulgaria's.
"Scott Brown is committed to voting to repeal the health care monstrosity Reid and Pelosi are busy hatching. He's against the Cap-and-Tax legislation. He's in favor of reducing our taxes. And, unlike Obama, he's not afraid to use the phrase "war on terror."
"You may ask . . . What about Scott's opponent, one Martha Coakley? She's another one of those Massachusetts liberals (think: John Kerry) whose ambitions are as unlimited as her talents are nonexistent. As a member of the Massachusetts legal community, she specialized in ferocious prosecutions of people who were clearly innocent."
We must have legal poll watchers during the election and we must have legal watchers during the counting of the absentee ballots.
How are the polls showing the race, does he even have a chance at that seat?

Thank you!
Who voted for the late Kennedy on Christmas eve?
I cannot figure out why anyone over the age of sixty would vote for Martha Croak-Me. Her campaign seems to be based upon killing the unborn and those over sixty.
Scott Brown!

I doubt the GOP is going to win this thing, I hope we do not get too emotionally invested in this one.
The state run media is keeping this election quiet.
National recognition can only help the Republican raise money and awareness. (IMHO)
She’s a doozie!
How come it wasn’t “historic” when MA elected a Black senator?
BTT
Don’t let the dems fool you trying to push the phony ‘tea party’ Independent on us. Kennedy (no relation) is a code-pinko liberal. Scott Brown can break the dem’s super-majority.
Yes, it can happen again, but only with Sarah Palin as the GOP Nominee.
I would love to see it happen again and it can.
Butch Jokely’s platform is this
Pass Cap and Tax
Pass Government run “Healthcare”, heavy on the Abortion
Pass a War Tax
TAX TAX TAX!
B T T T
I still have not seen any poll numbers. I just checked with Real Clear politics, and I don’t see any. Is Mass. any bluer than NJ? If not, then it would seem Brown has a chance.
