Massachusetts Votes! Kennedy vs. Brown/Coakley: Open Thread

John Stewart made an interesting observation; all of us in Massachusetts presumably voting Brown in to stop universal healthcare ALREADY have universal/mandatory insurance. Funny vicotory for the Republicans.

The only real positive I see out of this is that we needn't presume that Massachusetts is a gimme for Democrats. I live on the Mass/New Hampshire border, and come election time nobody even campaigns here or has a yard sign because it has been a forgone conclusion that the dems wins. A mile north in NH every single lawn has a sign in it.

Hopefully all of the slam-dunk certainty for both 'locked in' red and blue states starts to crumble, and maybe, like in a decade, anyone could possibly get elected anywhere if they have the right ideas.

Otherwise we all lost as expected. Brown=Coakly=sux. I was the one guy who voted Kennedy apparently. I hope they didn't go to much trouble putting his name on all of those ballots just for me. ;-)

"We don't grant rights and privileges to enemies in wartime. The message we send to terrorists is that our tax dollars should pay for weapons to stop them, not lawyers to defend them," he said. "Giving rights to terrorists is unacceptable."

Brown was FOR romneycare WTF!!! The liberty movement really needs some form of leader and defined platform, otherwise it'll just be this idiocy over and over and over and over until our currency is destroyed and we are bankrupt, engulfed in a full blown surveillance police state.

*sigh*

I wonder how well Kennedy would have done had he went with an R in front of his name. I just friggin hate politics :(

This effectively shuts down the federal government until November or possibly longer. I'd rather have those weasels in Congress doing nothing than be busy finding new ways to tax us and take away more of our freedoms.

Senators are supposed to be hand selected representatives, not popularity puppets of fraudulent money and media.

Of course, it shouldn't even matter who is elected, because they are all sworn to follow the same law. That's their job, not legislating their opinions.

Throughout the day, there have been a lot of comments rejecting Brown’s victory as a step backwards for the freedom movement. I must respectfully disagree.

In my opinion, this is pretty simple: people are upset with government (namely healthcare) and they voted for their best option to stop it. I say, that’s a victory!

With all respect to Kennedy (and yes, he would have been better than Brown), the freedom fight will not be won by a 3rd party dissenter who squeaks out 2 or 3 or 4 percentage points.

The freedom fight will be WON by sending liberty minded candidates out of the primaries (both R and D).

Let Brown’s victory serve as motivation for us for 2010. The country (misguided as it is) is thirsty for LIBERTY. Let it be OUR job to give them liberty candidates to vote for in 2010 general elections.

You should here all the crying going on over at the Huffington Post. The referendum on incumbents continues.

So Clown B beat Clown A. Does this really matter as much as the establishment press makes it out to be? As a general rule, I believe the opposite of whatever the corporate state media tells me to believe. Which leads me to believe that Clown B will make no difference whatsoever and will happily go along with government takeover of the medical industry, for starters. Am I wrong?
