BOSTON – In an epic upset in liberal Massachusetts, Republican Scott Brown rode a wave of voter anger to defeat Democrat Martha Coakley in a U.S. Senate election Tuesday that left President Barack Obama's health care overhaul in doubt and marred the end of his first year in office.

The loss by the once-favored Coakley for the seat that the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy held for nearly half a century signaled big political problems for the president's party this fall when House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates are on the ballot nationwide.

Thank the Good Lord.
Obama even scares the crap out of Massachusetts voters.

Man finally bit the dog.

[Blood of Tyrants]

And the best part is that the idiot liberals in charge of Congress are too stupid to know why they lost. It will make beating them even easier this fall.

They’re really crying in their beer right now. Of course, it’s everybody’s fault.

They could never conceive of the fact that the tide has turned and that nobody wants what they have to offer.

Ok, Mr. Brown. I’m elated tonight. Coakley lost. You made that happen and you deserve a round of applause for that.
But starting tomorrow, we’re all gonna be watching you. You’re pro-choice and not anti ALL health reform efforts. We shall see. You could get more conservative, or you could turn out to be a Romney clone. You could stand firm, or roll over like Ben Nelson.
We shall see!

Done!

[Incorrigible]

LOL! Did she really say that?

wish ted was alive so i could see the look on his face

First order of business for Senator Brown should be to clear all the empty booze bottles from Ted Kennedy's office.

Whoa, look at the spin on this one: We're angry (are we having a temper tantrum?), we're impatient (for what? health care reform?), we're irritated at the bipartisan wrangling over health care (sure, it's that bipartisan wrangling that really gets us, not the cost, the tyrannical overtake, the death panels, the spying into our bank accounts, the $5000 cap on expenses per person, the taxpayer-funded abortion . . . no, they don't matter; it's the bipartisan wrangling that we just can't stand). Pa-leeze!

AP "journalists," you missed your calling. You belong in Goebbels' propaganda factory or on the Kool-Aid assembly line.

Here’s my question: What do all those Freepers who were all over the place in 2006 and 2008 saying there was no reason to turn out for Republicans think? According to them there’s no real difference between Pubbies and Dems. They shouldn’t care about Brown’s win if they really believe that. Where are all those folks anyway?

We may still end up with Obamacare because there wasn’t just one more Republican in the Senate in the last year - which we would have if some close races had gone the other way. Some had 3rd party candidates that drew votes from the Republican. What do the geniuses who voted 3rd party or didn’t vote in those think now? Have they figured anything out yet?
