Speak for yourself........There are social and fiscal issues....Social issues may not be important to you but they are important to a hell of a lot of us..........
He won because he campaigned against Obamacare and the people of Massachusetts already have government insurance; a lot of them are very disappointed with it, as they should be, and the ones who do like it don't want national health insurance either. That's not to say his fiscal conservatism wasn't crucial in his victory, because it underpinned his entire message, but you seem to be overplaying the significance of his socially conservative stances, like abortion and gay marriage.
Moreover, his stance on the aforementioned issues can't really be encapsulated by simplistic terms like, "pro-life" and "anti-gay marriage". They're a little more nuanced than that.
Watching the local Mass news affiliate and they are saying almost 2.3 million total voters got out and voted and thats half of Mass registered voters. Half stayed home.
Have you spent your moment wisely?
Okay, it's possible, but the margin is razor thin now. The House Democrats are crapping their pants at the thought of 2010, so I don't see the Senate version making it through.
As to reconciliation, Americans wouldn't sit down for that one. They clearly do not want the Democrat's version of health care reform. The Dems would defy the people at their own peril.
You partly lost me with your first post about Pat Robertson and Haiti, then you completely lost me with your post about "spending my moment wisely."
I'm just trying to understand what it is you are saying. Are you just trying to annoy me or do you have a point?
Hey Dav. Post some links of Democrats lamenting Brown's victory. I want to relish the moment...:twisted:
You know what really probably did it?
I bet Mr. V said that "Brown is going to Bust in Mass, he can't win there, its mass".
As seen in the avatar thread, anything Mr. V predicts will happen 100% opposite. So that must've been what caused this
Woo, the past few elections...its nice to be excited about results again

Also, let me make another statement: Move over Palin and the rest of the Conservative wannabes. The real deal is here. He should run for president. I bet he would win too.
You used the phrase "too conservative".
Roberston is the archetypal "too" conservative.
Otherwise, if the guy is merely an anti-big government, anti-tax, pro-capitalism, pro-freedom Senator, he'll be better than 99% of his colleagues.
Scott Brown did not win because he is socially conservative.
He's a Massachusetts conservative, whereas Palin is an Alaska conservative. Both of them are reasonable candidates when their electorate is considered. As for the entire nation being the electorate... we'll have to see.
Actually, Palin is a total idiot. Brown has the kind of charisma Reagan had. He has my vote already.
I want a recount :rofl
