Victory has many proud parents. Defeat has a whole lot of pointing fingers. Or something like that.
As The Ticket noted first thing this morning, the blame game has already started in the startling Massachusetts U.S. Senate race, operating on the always dangerous assumption that someone has won (Republican Scott "I Drive a Pickup, You Know" Brown) and someone has lost (Democrat Martha "Ewh, Shake Hands with Those People?" Coakley) before the votes are counted.
But, hey, why not?
If staunch lifelong Democrat and son of a staunch lifelong Democrat Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana is doing it, then it must be OK.
He's not yet joined the no-you-didn't-yes-we-did-why-didn't-you-call-for-help-sooner-well-hello-we-did-but-you-weren't-listening-because-of-that-inside-DC-healthcare-dance-Obama-wants-so-badly.
But he is warning that, assuming Coakley the Democrat is electoral toast come balloon-dropping time tonight, Democrats need to learn an important lesson -- and learn it quite quickly. Bayh, who is one of those gutless moderates who just keeps on winning because he listens and stays connected back home, says his party and president have simply abandoned moderation to push a far-left agenda that alienates moderates and, hello, independents, who happen to make up about half of the Massachusetts electorate.

Thanks to his dad, he was born on third base, but he thinks he’s hit a triple.

That’s hilarious. :)
Bayh is trying to distance himself cause the elections are approaching and he’s starting to sweat.

Bingo.
Expect more retirements, cushy Lobbying jobs being taken by Dems. And Dems running for the Cloak Room or for cover. The Mob showed up with Pitch Forks, Lynching Ropes, and Torches. Demanding their Government be taken back from the ACORN Thugs, SEIU, and the Far Left. Now that the people have woken up and spoken the Dems are scared. Truly scared. There is no longer any safe district, state, anywhere.
The Tea Party movement is also sending a message to the GOP. Back the corrupt Wall Street looters, those who engaged in massive fraud. And those who enable it. And you are history. It is time to “throw out the bums” of both parties. We need Term Limits. We need an end to the lack of accountability and transparency.
This also shows the Media Empty Suits, the pundits promoting illegal multiple voting. Are Clown acts for entertainment. The Adults have shown up and kicked the clowns to the curb.
It was amusing to see the 2% Lesbian vote and the FemNags whining that Coakley did not campaign enough on Women’s issues. It is the Economy Stupid. Jobs not being created, lies about phony Green Jobs, Govt. Jobs, bail outs to AIG, fraud by the Fed and US Treasury.
Stop the Looting start the prosecuting.
Great letter!
Coakley was generally the fall guy for the loss. Almost never was Obama the cause for the loss.

Your kidding! They’re still carrying his water? That is shocking... :)
Progressives (socialists and neo-communists) have entrenched themselves in the Democrat Party, but many can be found in the Repubicrat ranks.
When the Democrat Party becomes a stinking corpse Progressives can find haven in the Republican Party. Traitors like Snowe, Collins, Graham, Voinovich, Hatch and scores of others have made room for them.
Resign now Evan.
Resign now.
I live in Illinois and we don't register by party, if we did I'd be independent. I don't identify as a republican any more and yet I've never voted for a democrat. In our primaries, you are asked which ballot you want, rep or dem.
If you vote and there's only two parties on the ticket you gotta vote for one or the other.
“If he is not happy with the state of affairs why did he support zer0 like all the rest of them in ‘08?!”
Honestly? Because he didn’t have a real choice.
Support him, or be branded a “RACIST!” by the media. And remember, he was one of the ones trying to SLOW the Socialist Train down, as the hated head of the “Evil” DLC...
great letter to sen Bill Nelson.
I have copied it and sent it to my friends in Florida.
.....RETREAT!!!!!!....
In my mink had, retreat is orderly withdrawal.
Yesterday,the flank was turned and the troops are fleeing in uncontrollable rout.
Welcome to 1968, Senator Bayh.
NO. It’s too late to change their spots. Vote them out!!!!
Bayah talks Conservative when he’s home and votes far left Liberal when he’s in DC. His was one of the YES votes recorded on 12/24/09.
Amen sing it brother
Bayh may have tried to slow down the socialist train, but he still voted for all their bills. He’s merely trying to throw the blame elsewhere while continuing to cast his vote for their agenda. Man up, Evan. You can try to sound moderate; your vote is not.
Bath voted for obamaCare. He is as bad as Obama. Teh people in IN are fools if they do not get rid of him - he is as bad as Obama.
They are screwed
The INDs and GOP don’t want this crap
AND
The Far Left does
Too bad for them but without the Far Left votes $$$ and support they are in a heap of trouble
