Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) will join Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) — and followed by Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) — to vote yes on the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill, or H.R. 4173. Their votes ensure the Democrats have enough votes to defeat a Republican filibuster. Obviously, many of Brown’s conservative supporters feel betrayed by his latest [...]
Scott Brown, brown-noser
Republicans and conservatives are groaning over Sen. Scott Brown’s (R-MA) yes vote on Sen. Harry Reid’s (D-NV) “lite” version of the jobs bill. He joined four other Republicans to support this useless bill, in the name of independence and bipartisanship. So he claims: I came to Washington to be an independent voice, to put politics [...]
Today the Senate Democrat supermajority ends
As early as 5:00pm today, Scott Brown could be sworn in to become the 41st Republican senator, ending the Democrats’ filibuster-proof majority and therefore, making America a better place. Share and Enjoy:
Obama is in a lonely place
No matter how the White House and Democrats spin it, the voter revolt in Massachusetts to elect Republican Scott Brown is about the American people rejecting President Obama and his big government agenda. Democrats and President Obama and his inner circle of advisers grew overly arrogant from their 2006 and 2008 victories and thought it [...]
Liberals openly abandoning hope and change
Starting with NYT columnist and Nobel Prize recipient Paul Krugman: In a post on his blog Wednesday night titled “He Wasn’t the One We’ve Been Waiting For,” Krugman eviscerated Obama for, in the columnist’s view, not stepping up during a crucial moment in his presidency. “Progressives are desperately in need of leadership; more specifically, House [...]
Unjamming ObamaCare
Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts is already having an effect on Democrats in Congress. Even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is saying that nothing is to be done on the health care bill until Brown is sworn in: Speculation had swirled in recent days that Democrats in the House and Senate may try to rush [...]
The Democratic circular firing squad
It’s great to see Scott Brown becoming the senator-elect of Massachusetts. But it sure is entertaining to see the Democrats and liberals in an epic crap throwing contest. Against each other! Even before the polls closed, word got out that a Coakley adviser sent out a memo blaming the Washington Democrats for acting too late: [...]
No Palin? No problem, in Massachusetts
The hotly contested Massachusetts Senate race gained the attention of nearly all the 2008 Republican presidential candidates: John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, and Mitt Romney, and not to mention Democratic presidents like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. But one person remained interestingly quiet throughout the race: Sarah Palin. Why didn’t Palin endorse Scott Brown, fully aware [...]
Can Obama get his groove back?
Failure of presidential proportions. That’s how I’d describe President Obama after Coakley’s loss to Brown in Massachusetts. Think about it. Obama only seems to be able to get himself elected and nobody else. He failed to deliver for Jon Corzine (D-NJ) and Creigh Deeds (D-VA), they both lost their governorships. He helped Chicago get eliminated [...]
Scott Brown wins, takes seat for the people
Currently with 75% of precincts reporting, Scott Brown (R-MA) is leading Martha Coakley (D) by a 7% margin. All news outlets have called Brown the winner. Coakley has just conceded. Welcome to Washington, Sen. Brown! Now do your constituents proud. Share and Enjoy:

Coakley channels King, continues drop in polls, empty phone banks
Things are not looking good for Martha Coakley (D-MA) in tomorrow’s special election. In a desperate but unsurprising move on MLK Day, the Democrat plays the King card: Coakley, in her remarks at the breakfast, linked her candidacy to the legacy of King and Edward M. Kennedy. “If you send me to the Senate, I [...]
Pre-election drama in Massachusetts
As the nation awaits for Tuesday’s senate election in Massachusetts, there’s already talk of possible vote tampering and the term limit of interim Sen. Paul Kirk (D-MA). Apparently Massachusetts uses voting machines which have been proven to be easily hacked: The Diebold electronic voting machines to be used in more than 90% of the state’s [...]
Will Coakley pull a Deeds?
In light of the recent news concerning Brown (R) vs. Coakley (D), I get the feeling that Massachusetts isn’t the Land of the Kennedys any more? Well, Patrick Kennedy still thinks the seat belongs to his family. But I think the good people of Massachusetts are ready to move on. Is the Coakley camp on [...]
Some Democrats would like Brown victory
I’m with Erick Erickson on this. The highly contested Massachusetts Senate race between Scott Brown (R) and Martha Coakley (D) could mean killing ObamaCare by reducing the Democratic majority to 59. Nobody could be happier than the likes of Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE), Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), etc. Facing unprecedented disapproval [...]
