(If any of you mindless rabble are reading this, stop now. This message is not for you. And reading is really not your thing as you've proven time and again. I will probably use a few big words later and you know how that gives you a headache. So stop reading now. I mean it.)

Truth is, the problems this world faces are far more complex and far more difficult to fix than people like Scott Brown can fathom. We know this, don’t we, friends? We understand this, innately. The problems with the banking industry, climate change, energy, healthcare, foreign relations, and the economy are the kinds of problems that require serious people with serious backgrounds. Former models are definitely not the kind of people we need working on these problems. Even 30-year national guard veterans are not the kind of people we need working on these problems. We need people who have dedicated their lives to understanding how the world works, where the pain points are, where the leverage needs to be applied and how much money needs to be raised to turn the ship in the right direction.

Clearly, we need the smartest people in the room to be solving our problems. The big brains. The people who, in high school, were likely dunked in the toilet and pantsed by people like Scott Brown.

For some insight into the mind of a Massachusetts moonbat, I submit this opus. The level of elitist smarmyness that is found here shows what the true believers on Planet Moonbat really think. To quote Eric Cartman as he fed chili to Scott Tenorman: "Yes! Yesss! Oh, let me taste your tears, Scott! Mm, your tears are so yummy and sweet! Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness! My-yummy!"

But hapless Martha Coakly can fix it, right?

It looks as if there aren’t quite as many fools in Massachesetts as I thought there were.

A CONFEDERACY OF FOOLS

Author unknown.

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of
entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit
and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary
common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such
a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious
than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of
the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made
him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after
all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such
as those who made him their president.”

"They rode a wave of discontent that was manufactured by right wing radio and TV..."

Yeah, keep believing that...LOL!!

[Daveinyork]

The fact that this arrogant bastard thinks that the government can solve all the problems it created stopped me from reading more than the excerpt.

[Rickster GloucesterVA]

I’m about up to *here* with this elitist crap. Look where it’s gotten us. I don’t care if they think Brown is an intellectual lightweight, or Sarah Palin, or Dan Quayle before them. (And for the record I thought Dan was a pretty sharp guy, not that it mattered to them.)

I want someone who has a heart for what is right for America. Not right for Europe or some socialist ideal. Someone like the rest of us. I’ll take ten - no, several dozen - of those over one bozo with his nose in the air or his head in the clouds who thinks he has all the answers.

I’ll take a nice, average person. Surely we can’t do worse.

[RightOnline]

Oh good Lord in Heaven..........yet another perfect example of why these a**holes are losing big time.

"They rode a wave of discontent that was manufactured by right wing radio and TV and eaten up by a tea-party-induced stupor of an electorate. They played the dumb, disenfranchised rabble like a second hand accordion. And that rabble ate it up."

Spoken like a true democrat (small d); why doesn't he just cut to the chase and shout 'Let them eat cake' from his parlor window? Unfathomable elitist arrogance.

[dirtboy]

May they never learn from their defeats...

[Stosh]

Golly-gee, them were sure ‘nough big words he was using there - glad he warned me. A couple of ‘em even made three syllables, I reckon.

He sure is smarter than the rest of us, no doubts ‘bout that!

“Clearly, we need the smartest people in the room to be solving our problems. The big brains.”

The people that couldn’t hold a paying job if they had to compete on a level playing field....

Ah, now we get to the real source of Grant Sander's seething ire.

[windsorknot]

Grab the chamber pot.

[Ouderkirk]

Former models are definitely not the kind of people we need working on these problems.

But a former comedian Al Franken is?

Nantucket 55% of voters

Brown - 2,032
CRoakley - 2,139

That’s HUGE for Nantucket!

[mosaicwolf]

Oh how liberals think only they can solve the world's problems. All solutions the liberal/progressives develop to solve their perceived problems just create new and bigger problems.

[HGSW0904]

What's most telling, and simply delightful to me, is that after all that drivel about how only someone oh-so-intelligent and therefore capable of understanding how the world works should have won the race(presumably, the author includes his smarmy self in that category)— he misunderstands just how long Mr. Brown will hold the seat. He says he'll have to tolerate it for the next 6 years, when in fact Mr. Brown will be up for re-election in 2012.

Perhaps the intelligentsia should spend a little more time studying up on basic civics.

Probably not far from the truth, but do it in the private sector and get the abrasive tentacle of government out of the way. Raise your own money not steal it from us you leeches.

[Richard Kimball]

There are multiple reasons Brown won. Last year Republicans were thrown out because of the massive spending of the Republicans and the insider deals that they cut to reward their friends, and fear by citizens of the massive deficits. Democrats took power and doubled down on the spending.

All this happened while stores and factories were closing and people were losing their jobs. Most citizens don't care all that much about political ideology. They don't care if the plumber believes in existentialism or the Darwinian model of plumbing. They see a plumbing job that costs 500 times what it should and the pipes still leak and the water coming out of the faucet is rusty.

The US government spends more money faster than any other entity in the history of the world, and keeps saying the problem is that the government is underfunded and doesn't have enough control. The big problem for the voters of Massachusetts is unemployment is high, the government is spending money hand over fist, and they don't see results.

Maybe we should all leave comments on his stoopid blog?
