We think SEIU, like the Democrat party has lost touch with the people they represent. SEIU backed Coakley without input from us.
Pretty much sums it up.
Are you deaf, or did you simply not comprehend all that I just wrote?
If the "Republican" candidate is indistinguishable from a Democrat or a liberal, then you have NO choice in that election.
That's not an "ideological purity" point of view, it's reality. That "Republican" will vote or govern exactly like their ideological counterpart, the liberal Democrat (see Schwarzenegger RINO CA).
Advocating for others to vote for the R, regardless of their conservative batting average is what's brought Socialism to our door, not the other way around.
That being said, I repeat that we need to examine our candidates closely enough to determine whether they're at least center-right before we give them our support, or our votes.
Insisting on absolute purity of ideology is political suicide, although it's something we should strive to find in our potential candidates, and then push with whatever we've got.
Make sense?
AMEN!
As a Massachusetts native, I can understand the enthusiasm.
The state's been dominated by Democrats for so long that non-Democrat voters have been out in the disenfranchisement wilderness for years. The first time I registered to vote, it was to cast my vote for Ronald Reagan.
State contests? Who cared, it wasn't as if it mattered.
I almost wish I were back there just to vote for Scott Brown.
Nah....:-)
Don't forget to arm yourselves on Tuesday!
With cameras!!!
Well watch some of the videos of the earthquake on You Tube. There sure are an awful lot of fat Haitians. I think during the Katrina coverage, the obese outnumbered the slim 10-1. That’s why the evacuation took so long, they could only get a couple in each small boat because they were so enormous.
Massachus. pro-lifers groups are supporting Brown..if that helps.
For example, he supports term limits

Why in the hell would you not support term limits? You like havinb crooks for life? Unbelievable!

I utter a little “grrrrr” under my breath every time I see one of those kind of posts.
My parents (and grand parents) worked tirelessly to free myself and my siblings from the prison of sub-standard English and the ghetto mindset. They knew all too well that assimilation into the mainstream was our surest ticket to the American Dream, and they were ruthless about it.
Thank God that they were.
Much of the problem is Aristide refused to spend the millions sent to him to build the infrastructure the nations needed. So they have nothing, no bull dozers etc. to move the buildings etc. off the roads to clear for the large trucks etc. to go in. The Haitians are few if at all who have vehicles of any kind, not even bikes.
Additionally I heard last night some of the Dr.s and nurses were ordered, by the UN, to leave the medical tents in one area because the poeple in some areas were rioting.
Does seem the Haitian people hurt themselves before and even while people are trying to help. Repeating the same behaviour as before. Their Presidents never cared to make Haiti anything other than a money flow into their own personal coffers. I blame their current and prior Gov. entirely for what we see playing out here.
If this doesn’t beat all!
PURPLE for SCOTT BROWN.
WOW! THANKS FOR POSTING THE PHOTOS!
The world HAS turned upside down ... this is a MUST read account from the frontlines, with videos.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
We met this Scott Brown supporting, card-carrying SEIU member outside of the Bill Clinton/Martha Coakley rally at Worcester Polytechnical Institute. Not only was he forbidden access to the handicapped ramp-the only way he could enter the auditorium- but he wasn't the only SEIU member to show up in support of Scott Brown:
These fine patriots wanted to get their voices heard about their union selling them out, so they reached out to the Republican candidate running in their district, our friend, Marty Lamb. He helped to organize the rally outside and pointed out to them that some SEIU purple would look great with some Brown.
Now, there was no shortage of Scott Brown supporters outside the auditorium, but we figured we'd try our luck getting inside to see what President Clinton had to say. We never actually imagined we'd be let inside. However, there was virtually no security at the door and we were able to get inside without even being looked over or checked.
There were only at most 200 people inside (counting the press and curious Brown supporters), and no Martha Coakley. We spent a few minutes listening to President Clinton's remarks, but honestly we're not going to insult your sensibilities by playing the video for you.
Instead, we offer to you a mock Scott Brown ad our friends at 96.9 BostonTalks put together. It basically covers everything Bill Clinton had to say with a little more humor and a little less revisionist history.
We left the auditorium and, while heading back to the Brown supporters with Marty Lamb, we came across something pretty bizarre: Secret Service agents and Worcester police taking a Martha Coakley supporter into custody. I wish we could tell you more than that but, as you can see from the video, we weren't really given the opportunity to observe.
We got back down to the Scott Brown supporters IMG_2203222 and took the opportunity to catch up with some old friends and meet some truly great patriots. We wish everyone around the country had the chance to come up here and just feel the energy in the air about this election. For so many of us, it's the first time in our lives that our vote has actually mattered.
It's been a long time since we've had a race this close up here, and the importance of this election isn't lost on a single person.
This event was one of dozens held in Massachusetts this evening and, with 3 days until election day, we can speak for everyone up here when we say we're only getting warmed up and Coakley's seen nothin' yet!

WOO HOO!! Americans are rising up ... !
That’s perfect, potlatch!!!!!!!
