"The Democrats of today are not the Democrats I grew up with."
~ quote from ad
To my brothers and sisters in Massachusetts,
Few people ever get a chance to tell their children that they helped save their country. On Tuesday, you have that chance.
By casting a vote for Scott Brown, you can provide the 41st vote in the United States Senate that will block President Obama’s agenda.
In casting a vote for Scott Brown, you can stop the 2200-page health care bill that rewards unionized workers, citizens of Nebraska, and medical malpractice lawyers.
In casting a vote for Scott Brown, you can stop “Cap-and-Trade” bills that claim carbon dioxide — which plants need to produce oxygen — is a taxable pollutant.
In casting a vote for Scott Brown, you can halt the kind of open borders policy that has destroyed California’s economy and which threatens our nation as a whole.
In casting a vote for Scott Brown, you can quietly state your belief in the founding principles of the United States. That is: limited government, a respect for individual liberty, free enterprise and private property.
Those who oppose your vote reject America’s founding principles: the very tenets that led to the creation of the greatest country the world has ever seen.
In little more than two hundred years, Americans defeated slavery, Nazism, military Shintoism and Communism; refined mass production; invented human flight; created 75% of all medical innovations on the planet; put a man on the moon; invented the telephone, the Internet and the search engine; and advanced humankind in millions of other ways, in every field and endeavor.
Those who oppose your vote oppose our Constitution and our Declaration of Independence.
Those who oppose your vote refute the notion of God-given rights of man and carefully constructed limits on an all-powerful, centralized, authoritarian government.
Those who oppose your vote see the world as rigid classes of people that must be manipulated to advance a political agenda; whereas we revel in the notion that America has no static class structure; that every day the rich become poor and the poor rich.
Those who oppose your vote oppose free markets and the power of any individual — no matter the race, creed, religion or color — to achieve greatness through hard work, study, inspiration and innovation.
On Tuesday, I humbly ask that you cast a vote for Scott Brown for United States Senate. I ask that you cast a vote for liberty. That you cast a vote for mankind.
Few people ever get this chance. The history books are waiting.

They are not. The party of Truman and Humphrey has been shanghaied by the followers of Marx and Engels.
I’m to the point where I feel genuinely sorry for the “Joe Bag O’Donuts” Democrats that were all around me. They seem lost, watching the wingnuts like Pelosi having taken over their party.
I’m convinced that a large chunk of the tea party crowd are just these folks...our brothers and sisters, the Reagan Democrats.
“I’m convinced that a large chunk of the tea party crowd are just these folks...our brothers and sisters, the Reagan Democrats.”
The GOP lost the Reagan Democrats when they sold out to globalist interests - the corporate moguls who shipped American jobs and American money and American hopes overseas and opened the floodgates to an army of foreign invaders to work the few jobs left here.
In the process they increased their profit margins, but wrecked our economy and strengthened our enemy the Communist Chinese. Nixon’s opening of China didn’t Democratize it - it just gave them American dollars to use to fund a massive military and economic war against us.
I HOPE the GOP learned a lesson from Bush II’s foibles.
Time will tell.
Unfortunately, both parties did it. I’d love to ask Pres. Clinton if he had a crystal ball, would he sign MFN to China again, wouldn’t you?
In any event, let’s see how these guys vote on amnesty. Which is, far as I’m concerned, the equivalent of “outsourcing” except that we get to be on the hook for all the expenses.
“Unfortunately, both parties did it.”
True. The GOP did it for cash and votes and the Dems did it for cash and votes. The Dems got the votes AND the cash and the GOP got the blame.
” I’d love to ask Pres. Clinton if he had a crystal ball, would he sign MFN to China again, wouldn’t you?”
The only thing I’d like to do to that rat is unprintable. I think he’s a true believer - doubt if he would change his mind.
:In any event, let’s see how these guys vote on amnesty. Which is, far as I’m concerned, the equivalent of “outsourcing” except that we get to be on the hook for all the expenses.”
That’s putting it very concisely. The more in trouble the Rats are, the more likely they will push amnesty. Its their only hope. And its the reason Obama is bringing Haitian refugees to America.
Man, I’d love to see them push amnesty, with an unemployment/underemployment rate of over 17 percent!
I think they would try it to get the votes. The margins are close enough it could make a difference to them.
They could get enough idiot RINOs like McCain to help them too.
A few weeks ago, Pelosi told her members that after HC, she wasn’t going to make them “walk the plank” for any more divisive votes this session.
I tend to believe her. She can’t afford it, unless she wants to guarantee returning to minority status...and that might happen anyway!
I really think Pelosi has a mental problem.
My dad (age 76), who voted for JFK, always says that if JFK were alive, he’d look at Pelosi like she was some sort of space alien.
LOL
JFk was not an effective President. But he WAS an American Patriot. He was a war hero who fought for this country.
How that ponderous piece of crap Teddy could have done what he did, knowing how his brother would have felt about him is beyond me.
JFK was the only Kennedy worth anything.
“I HOPE the GOP learned a lesson from Bush II’s foibles.”
You mean like defending us from terrorism, restoring our economic growth in record time (2001), giving us real leadership and hence hope after Katrina, liberating over 50 million people, trying to give us the personal ownership society, improve education by forcing teachers to teach, standing up for the sanctity and dignity of ALL life, etc.etc.etc. Is that what you mean?
Indeed...if you go back and look at polling at the time, it was no sure thing that he would be re-elected.
But fate ended that question. FWIW, my dad agrees with you that JFK was the cream of that particular crop.
“You mean like defending us from terrorism, restoring our economic growth in record time (2001), giving us real leadership and hence hope after Katrina, liberating over 50 million people, trying to give us the personal ownership society, improve education by forcing teachers to teach, standing up for the sanctity and dignity of ALL life, etc.etc.etc. Is that what you mean?”
Come off it and wake up. Idiocy is not recognizing the errors of the past.
Every time I see that s.o.b. Obama I blame the Bushes and McCain. THEY put him in office.
If you want to get in to a contest flinging around the positives and negatives of Bush’s reign, let me know. I’ll out fling you any day.
He was one of the least popular Presidents in the last days of office because he alienated his base and American Independents. He was marginally more intelligent than Kerry and Gore - which is why the election results with those two were so close.
“He was one of the least popular Presidents in the last days of office because he alienated his base and American Independents. He was marginally more intelligent than Kerry and Gore - which is why the election results with those two were so close.”
Running with the herd is not a sign of intelligence ZULU. President Bush, Kerry and Gore are undoubtedly more intelligent than most. You may disagree with them, but implying they lack intelligence is foolish at best...sure, I can defend President Bush with facts much easier than you can deride him with crap. You can start by countering the first post I made...all you have done so far is thrown out insulting rhetoric, but in truth, I don’t expect much else from you.
Right on!
He got my vote twice, but kept on pissing me off!
Just another progressive~
I read an interesting article several months ago in which Cheney describes what happened during the second term. He stated that Bush began ignoring his advice and began drifting further and further left. Cheney offered several examples, but I can’t recall them now.
At anyrate, the drift paralled the decline of Bush’s popularity.
I haven’t read the article you suggest, but I seriously doubt President Bush ever ignored Cheney, he may not have made decisions that Cheney advocated at times. I missed President Bush moving left, when did that happen...or rather, what occurred that made you or others think he turned left? To save time...the bailout was not a left right thing, it was a reasonable (and correct) economic strategy. What Obama and the left did with it after the election was not Bush, it was Obama and the democrats.
