On abortion, I think I get what the Catholic bishops do not get: that a big liberal government is a danger to the freedom of religion. Separation of church and state IS necessary for freedom of religion. unless you want the church turned into an instrument of state power.
Although Marcia Coakley ran a poor campaign.
This election is not about HER! (It’s not even really about Scott Brown) I wish our side would stop taking the bait from the MSM that it is only because of her incompetence that she will lose tomorrow. They have been saying this over and over and over and over.
NO! NO! NO! NO!
This storyline completely downplays the significance of what is truly happening in the most liberal of all states. In a U.S. Senate Seat that has been held by Teddy Kennedy since 1492.
That people across the country, of all backgrounds and party affiliations are fed up with the socialist policies of Øbama, Pelosi & Reid. The people are fed up with them telling us how they are going to run Washington and interfere in our lives - despite our overwhelming opposition.
THIS IS ABOUT CONSERVATISM! THIS IS ABOUT PRO-AMERICAN & PRO-CAPITALIST POLICIES! THIS IS ABOUT TELLING THEM TO STAY THE HELL OUT OF OUR LIVES!
Certainly, Scott Brown turned this statewide special election into a national spectacle, because of his solid opposition to the Obamacare HealthControl legislation, and he is to be commended for it.
However, at the end of the day - this is so much bigger than just one U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts.
We must counter this falsehood whenever and wherever it is repeated.
I will guarentee that he will be one of People’s 50 most beautiful people in their next issue!
You get it. And I agree.
Gee, that family almost looks “presidential”?

Hey if he has no skeletons we could have someone here! Geez, he could take mass. into the GOP column and it’s over. I don’t know if Romney would take Mass any thoughts on that anyone?
He's a big step up for Mass. It took us a while to slide down into the mess we're in - it's going to take a while to climb out.
The Dems have been operating in increments - we may have to, too.
“It doesn’t matter.” (Just like New Jersey and Virigina)
Leona was better!
“I expect the Dems to dispute the results and go dumpster diving for invalid votes to put Coakley over the top.”
Ya think they’ll get 60,000 of those? (5% margin)...
I think of her as the Mike Nifong. And yes she ought to be disbarred.
Unlike Abe Lincoln and his family, right?
While I will rejoice that the democrat loses this race, Brown is still pro-abortion and as such I could never vote for him or contribute anything to his campaign.
He might someday undergo a phony change of heart like Romney (another RINO that looks presidential), in order to pacify the base at some point in the future, but I believe that Abortion is a fundamental indicator of a man's heart and I will probably never trust a pro-choice Republican to do the right thing on any issue.
It concerns me that this victory might conclude some to think that the pro-life platform is now negotiable. And history has taught us that a person who is not a social conservative isn’t really a fiscal conservative either.
I agree that we need to support him. He does want some restrictions on abortion. Just wish he was prolife.
What is a presidential family supposed to “look like” anyway? The Obamas and Clintons “looked” as presidential as the Bushes. The greatest modern president, Ronald Reagan, had a son who wore a tutu (and acted the part).
Yes I know. He sounds like an “I don’t support it but think it should be kept legal” kind of guy. It does make a difference. He doesn’t seem to love death like liberals do.
Agreed, it is a step in the right direction.
So was George Herbert Walker Bush, until he received a phone call from Ronald Reagan in 1980.
I refer you to George HW Bush until he got a phone call from Reagan in 1980.
Did you ever vote for George HW Bush? He was pro-abortion until Reagan phoned him in 1980.
