It is funny, and kind of sad, that the media keeps going with this story line again and again.

What did the Senate ever do to pass legislation when one party didn’t have 60 votes? It’s like the media just assumes that you can’t pass any legislation unless you can do it with single-party domination?

Instead, why aren’t the media running the story that Obama will have to go back to what he pledged in the campaign, and actually WORK with Republicans to pass a bill.

That was always the “right” thing when the Republicans were in charge — but the media gives Obama a pass when he says he can’t accomplish anything unless he has a bullet-proof democratic majority in the Senate.

The last vote the House took on this topic garnered 220 votes in favor. They needed 218. We need to peel away only 3 democrat votes to kill this bill in the House. EVERY House member is up for reelection in November. Every democrat needs to be reminded that a yes vote for this bill is a guaranteed NO vote for their November candidacy.

I haven’t seen anyone post this theory yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a Brown win in Massachusetts results in the Marxist Dems making a desperate attempt to court a RINO like Olympia Snowe to switch parties by bribing her with hundreds of millions of dollars in tax payer money. Granted, it’s highly unlikely they would succeed because I don’t think Snowe or any Republican would do something so stupid and corrupt at this point, but I certainly wouldn’t put it past the kamakaze Dem party to do whatever they think they need to advance their putridly evil agenda.

Nonetheless, I see the glass half full (not half empty) and I’m pumped about the shot that may well be heard around the world tomorrow night if Brown takes Massachusetts like the polls and news seem to suggest!

What is still a possibility is that he doesn’t win...

Tomorrow will tell...

Watch for Coakley to be told to not concede the race and challenge every aspect of the results...
