This is Romney’s Big Night, Too

LOL hardly.

WOW!

Right, we’re ALL RomneyBots now! LMBO

F U Romney!

What happens to employees who don’t have health insurance?

As of July 1, 2007:

* With few exceptions, Massachusetts residents age 18 and older must carry health insurance that meets the minimum standards set by the Health Connector. This is known as the “Individual Mandate.”
* Adults who cannot afford a plan that meets Health Connector standards can apply to the Health Connector for a waiver.
* Those who do not get insurance or a waiver by December 31, 2007 will lose their state personal income tax exemption when filing their 2007 state personal income taxes.
* If their religion does not allow them to carry health insurance, they can file a statement with their state tax return.
* In 2008, the penalties on adults who do not carry health insurance will grow significantly. Uninsured adults will be fined 1/2 of the monthly premium cost of the most affordable health plan available to them, as certified by the Health Connector.

How is the Individual Mandate enforced?

By the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, through the process of collecting state income taxes.

In his dreams.

Romney completely disgraced the GOP in MA by making it look like Democrats with hair and teeth (the only thing he had going for him).

I hope Romney doesn’t manage to taint Brown by association.

Revenge of the RINOs?

Leave it to the MittBots to be the turd in our punchbowl this evening.

The big winner tonight was liberalism, not conservatism.

Remember ROMNEY as having anything to do with this? Oh I don’t think so... Romney is the absolute antithesis of what the GOP needs in 12, him and Huckabee need to be driven out of any talk of the Presidency ASAP.

I’ll accept a moderate/liberal republican is likely what is needed to win MASS, but it sure as hell isn’t what American needs in the White House.

Romney and Huck both make me wanna chuck.

I never thought Scott Brown was perfect -- but I voted for him, I sent money, and talked to people about him. He was good enough, and I'm thrilled that he won.

Romeny?? No way, no how, not ever. He will NOT get my vote. The GOP will make a historic blunder if they move toward Romney.

He’s as good a republican as can be expected in Mass. Meanwhile a real conservative leads the polls in my Michigan district.

Romney certainly helped fund and his people ran the campaign

How much of his money did he spend? I'd like to see some proof of the amount

And who of his people ran the campaign? Got a link?

MYTH FLIP SLICK WILLARD RINO ROMNEY IS A CARPET BAGGING POS FRAUD.

HE BEST THINK TWICE ABOUT WHAT HE'S UP TO.

Exactly. MA is “special”. A Republican who is good enough in MA is not really good enough for the country as a whole. I say again that I’m thrilled that Scott Brown won. For a national election, however, I will only vote for a real Conservative. A Conservative can win in 2012, if the GOP will just stop pushing liberals at us.

Romney has been campaigning for Republicans for a very long time. He has put his own money where his mouth is. Give him his due. He helped Brown to win and win big. Just because a few disgruntled FReepers hate his guts does not mean the entire conservative base does.

Romney deserves credit for helping get Brown elected tonight. Actually, if the anti Romney FReepers were true to themselves they would hate Brown even more than they hate Romney. Think about it.

Who’s Mitt Romney?

Romney could be the big beneficiary. He’s helped deliver the 41st GOP vote

What total scat.

Now it is Romney that is responsible for this win?

No, it's hundreds of thousands of American citizens that are fed up with liberals like Romney and what they are doing to this country. Obama and the Congress, both houses

The Tea Party Express had a great strategy and spent over $300,000 on ads.

Scott Brown Campaign: Shhh!!! A secret we can now share with you all!

About Scott Brown Campaign: Shhh!!! A secret we can now share with you all!

Over the past several days as the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts heated up, the available "inventory" of advertising spots to buy from the TV networks dried up.

And then disappeared entirely.

On cable we here at the Tea Party Express were not able to purchase any additional local spots. Zero. None. Nada.

Before the TV stations ran out of spots they were jacking their rates ever higher and higher. The cost for TV ads in the state skyrocketed to the point of costing around the same price as NATIONAL TV Ads.

And then it hit us: why not go and buy our spots on the NATIONAL cable networks. If they are going to cost almost as much, and if we can go buy ads that will run in Massachusetts (but that Martha Coakley's campaign had not thought to buy) - then it's a fantastic opportunity for us!

So this put us at a great competitive advantage over Democrat Martha Coakley's campaign.

Here's why: When you watch cable television networks you'll see commercial blocks. Each time commercials come on they are part NATIONAL and part LOCAL. Local operators are given so many spots to sell to local advertisers, and the rest of the spots are for NATIONAL advertisers.

Since the local cable systems were "SOLD OUT" of advertising spots, then the only way to reach voters via cable channels was on NATIONAL programming.

But Martha Coakley, Barack Obama and company failed to realize this. So we went up on the air nationally - adding dozens more TV ads to our buy, while the Democrats in Massachusetts were locked out of buying any more ads on those same cable channels.
