What a load of baloney. Disagreeing with a President's policies, and therefore wanting him to fail in that regard, does not in any way mean that someone wants the country to fail. On the contrary, some of us believe that Obama's policies will cause our nation to fail.

There were plenty of people hoping for Bush to fail, so I guess by your logic they were wishing for the US to fail too, right?

That's different. Bush is the Anti Christ, Obama is the Messiah. Big difference there! ;)
 
Why the hell is Obama going to campaign in Mass.? Doesn't he have more important crap to do than trying to get someone elected? He's done this several times already this year.

He's campaigned for:

Jon Corzine for gov of NJ.
Christopher Dodd for senator of Conn. (even raising 1mil in campaign money for Dodd)
Creigh Deeds for virginia.

I educated one of your Libs on civil rights not long ago.
Republicans have been at the fore of EVERY bill. Wasn't MLK a Republican?
Democrats were opponents all too often.
Then the wiseguy tried to tell me it was Dixiecrat Republicans... but the fact is... most went back to the Democrat party. Only Thurmond and Helms switched.
Shall I dig up the links for you?

Now... for your continuing education on why we want Obama's stinking ideas to fail:

Michigan... the Democrat state with heavily unionized industry.
Obama's Utopia.
Why is it failing... because it's been a Democrat State and heavily unionized.

It's why we want Obama to fail.
He's going to turn the whole damnation into Michigan.

A good name for America under Obama actually: Damnation.

From 2005:
Who knew? Speculation about which welfare state will be the first to buckle under the strain of the pension and medical costs of aging populations usually focuses on European nations with declining birthrates and aging populations. Who knew the first to buckle would be General Motors, with Ford not far behind?

Click to expand...

The people in that district voted for a stinking liberal rat for how many years/decades? I do not see it changing just because one dies. If a republican wins that district it will most likely be a Rino who will jump on board the socialized medicine train just like the majority of other liberals have.
 
yes it will go republican and here's why:

I'm really surprised. I thought Massachusetts was solidly Democratic. It seems almost a slap in the face to Kennedy for his long held seat to go to his rivals.

It just goes to show you that lib dems are ruining the democratic party.

Republicans have been at the fore of EVERY bill. Wasn't MLK a Republican?So, what is the big difference between a "Republican" and a "Democrat"
One is tax and spend, the other is spend and tax.
Democrats were opponents all too often.
Then the wise guy tried to tell me it was Dixiecrat Republicans... but the fact is... most went back to the Democrat party. Only Thurmond and Helms switched.
Shall I dig up the links for you?NO

Now... for your continuing education on why we want Obama's stinking ideas to fail:
How the hell do you think you are with this "education crap"? I have my philosophy, you have yours.
The keyword here is "respect".

Michigan... the Democrat state with heavily unionized industry.
Obama's Utopia.
Why is it failing... because it's been a Democrat State and heavily unionized.

It's why we want Obama to fail.

From 2005:


BTW, I am anti-greed.
Both the so-called bosses and the union became greedy.

Solution?
Much higher taxes for those who are over paid..
Has this happened?
If not, why?

And what proof do you have that Obama wishes to "Michiganize" America?

If a "Republican" wins, I see very sad times ahead for our nation, in the ensuing years.
Massachusetts is supposed to be one of our more "advanced" states.
Maybe our nation is not ready for reform and joining the 21st century.

How do you see sad times ahead?

How is Mass. one of our more advanced atates?

What do you mean by reform and joining the 21st century?

I don't know what you mean, enlighten me.
 
Intrade currently has Brown up by 20 points.
 
New PPP poll shows Brown ahead by 5%, with the support of 20% of Obama voters.

It looks like he's really going to win this.
 
CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Sources: Obama advisers believe Coakley will lose - Blogs from CNN.com

Hope-a-Dope takes another hit, and in preparation they are throwing her overboard already.

However, the presidential advisers have grown increasingly pessimistic in the last three days about Coakley's chances after a series of missteps by the candidate, sources said.

No missteps by the White House. No, no, no... a 30 point lead squandered is solely the responsibility of Coakley. Rrrrriiiiiiiiight.

Hic, pass the Kool-Aid.

Massacusettes has had several republican governors. Of course we all know Mitt Romney. Speaking of Romney, there must be a reason he has been so absent from this race. Do they not like him in MA?

Don't forget that polls have a 3% to 4% chances of error.
 
Polls schmolls.

The Republicans ain't gonna pick up a US Seante seat
in the People's Republic of Massachussets.
 
His daughters aren't that cute.

Intrade: Brown 70, Coakley 28.
 
I'm not surprised at all. I called this one more than a week ago for Brown. Many Democrats, especially the Liberal ones, feel that they have been betrayed on health care reform. On the other hand, Republicans have been energized. I saw this one coming. Brown will win. Pardon my big ego, but once again, I will be right. :mrgreen:

I think that no sensible Republican would want Kennedy's seat, since it's old, moldy, and buried.

I'm betting they want instead to occupy the Massachussetts Senate Seat that Liberal Lyin' of the Senate vacated so belatedly.

Unless you can show us some reciepts showing what the Kennedy's paid for that seat, I recommend you not call it "Kennedy's". That family's day's of polluting the national political scene are hopefully over, or at least will be once Schwarzenegger's out of office.

Haven't you heard?


It's not Ted Kennedy's seat, it's not the Democrats seat...... it's the people of Massachusetts's seat.

What the "tea baggers" want to do is put their nuts in your mouth.... what the people that attend tea parties want to do is bring the government back to "for the people, by the people"... see the difference?
