The son of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy says a Republican victory in the race for his father's Senate seat is a sign that the American public is out for "blood."

As election returns came in Tuesday night, Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) said it's clear that voters wanted “a whipping boy” for all the lost jobs and foreclosed homes.

I’m sure Patches sent his condolences to “Marsha.”

Watch out Patches, you may be next.

Is he referring to Obama as the whipping boy? That is a slavery-tinged termed that has gotten lesser folks in tons of hot water.

This guy is such an idiot, such a mediocrity, such a loser. He couldn’t find his behind with both hands unless a Kennedy family retainer was there to help him. And he votes in Congress.

That's right Patches. Better hole up till it blows over. Maybe Uncle Hugo down south will give you asylum, you Commie punk.

Purposeful. After tonight's results, it's going to be 'all racism, all the time'.

Yep, Patches, and for all the pious words and the broken promises and the greasy con men who were found out. The marks do eventually find out, you know. A smart con man is over the horizon when it happens. A stupid one bleats about “scapegoats” thinking it can never happen to him.

For the most part, I think it’s true. Conservatives who think that this represents a sea change for the institution of smaller government are going to be disappointed. Voters in Massachusetts are POed that the nanny state is being run inefficiently in their estimation, not that they don’t want the bennies. It’s going to take years of their kids not finding jobs to turn the lightbulb on and connect the dots.

I’m pretty negative about the electorate. Especially in that state.

This is akin to Peter Jennings calling 1994 a “temper tantrum” by the voters.

It shows me the democratic voter in Massachusetts was confused as being more socialist than Democrat, and the Socialists haven’t won the hearts and minds of Democrats.

IMHO, now is the time to separate the Socialists from the power base they overtook a decade ago and return it to the Democrats.

In the interim, they both will be less powerful, but the more heinous socialists might be further removed from power for a longer period of time.

I rejoice in the Republican victory, but also have some hope that Democrats now might be able to break away from the bondage of Socialism.

Yes the voters are after blood, but the article is tripe.

It is not about blame for the economy.

It is the Arrogance of Traitors and Thieves.

Here is the first easy way to identify who MUST GO first.

“All Congressmen” (ALL) Who Voted for Cap&Trade MUST GO! NO EXCEPTIONS! They are either Traitors or simply Too Stupid to Hold Public Office........

Here is the list highlighted in Yellow> Congressional Score Card http://bit.ly/8w9ckV

Whenever the momentum is directed away from Liberalism, it’s for blood lust, right-wing extremism, and trucks.
