GOP's Brown wins Mass. Senate seat in epic upset

No, it's what the voters in NY23rd (a district that had been held by Republicans since the Civil War) said.

Since you're so smart, I know you'll be able to explain to the audience that NY23 was "won" by a Democrat because the Republican, Scuzzyfava, abdicated her candidacy the weekend before the election AND endorsed the enemy, but that the American in the race, with no elective experience at all, still managed to win nearly 50% of the vote anyway.

Yes, that contest was extremely illuminating, but it wasn't good for the Democrats, since the Democrat that won that election isn't going to be holding that seat next January.

Well Bill Owens won almost 50% because he was the better candidate.

I assumed that was who you were talking about when you said The American, because he was the more American of the candidates.
 
Palin has received to much negative press in the past year to be accepted by many.

Yes, that certainly stopped Bill Clinton from seeking a second term.

It does speak volumes that she had to removed herself from holding a political office (and thus no voting record history or legislature trail) to be even considered a candidate.

She removed herself from office because the manic attack poodle retarded left would not stop filing false ethics charges against her that she had to pay for.

She has a legislative and voting history.

She is considered a candidate.

I will take the 2 governor seats and the senate seat any time over the 1 congrssional seat..Try again..........You lost and lost big time.........

No, he wasn't.

When the two major party candidates collude and one tosses her endorsement for the other, and the third party candidate STILL almost wins, it's not a positive sign for either of the two major party candidates or their platforms.

I assumed that was who you were talking about when you said The American, because he was the more American of the candidates.

Well, when you assume, you make an ass out of u. Socialists are not Americans. I use the word "American" to denote people holding the American values of freedom and self-reliance. "American" clearly can't apply to either free-loaders or the classes of parasites pandering to them.
 
That's what the country is saying about PBO at this point.

I wonder what it's like to be president and know that there's no way you're going to get re-elected for a second term, only 12 months into your first term. That's gotta suck.

How about a president who goes and campaigns for 3 candidates and they all get their clocks cleaned..........
 
She is getting better every day.....By the time she runs for the senate she will be a polished candidate with about a 90% approval rating from Conservatives and Independents..........
Palin would be best to continue a career as a TV or radio personality. She doesn't belong in serious politics.

Obama...he can't be taken seriously, he should be trying out for Air America, where nobody will listen to him.

Pelosi...you don't take her seriously, do you?

Oh!

Of course.

I bet you take Shiela Jackson Lee seriously, right?

You leftys keep saying that and she continues to gain momentum.....The election is not tomorrow..........

My only retort is "i before e, except after c, or when sounded like a as in neighbor and weigh"... :2razz:

Only ones that put down people that are conservative and Gov Palin is as Conservative as they come..........
 
I'm aware of this. A year ago I was actually checking out behind a women at the grocery store who paid with food stamps and left in a brand new BMW 525 (she was parked next to me).

Is this the exception or the rule when it comes to the poor in America?

I dealt with parents and juveniles in the poorest congressional district in the country. Despite that, the vast, vast majority had Sidekicks, multiple vehicles, and expensive clothes. An astonishing number had purchased investment properties to flip in places like FL or AZ that were now in foreclosure. Roughly 80% reported no income while another 10% underreported.
 
Yes, Palin has good values. She needs seasoning and tempering, but her heart and mind are in the right place.

I don't think she needs seasoning, I'm sure she tastes great as is.

No tempering either.
I like a feisty babe... feisty when she needs to be feisty, submissive when she should be submissive.

I think she's fine the way she is.

She needs more face time, more debates, more time to communicate her message without the media filter.
FOXNEWS will give her that opportunity. Poifect.

Obama needs more seasoning and tempering... unfortunately he's supposed to be learning on the job and he's not learning very well.
Perhaps there's a remedial course in Presidency out there for him.
(I'm listening to Air America and they're grading his first year... and the grades they have given confirm he needs a remedial course in being president).

Many conservatives would beg to differ.

Navy....you wouldn't know a true conservative if they walked up and kissed you on the face.

You are a Big Government Neo-con. Don't try to hide behind the "conservative" label.
 
Now get this, here is a liberal telling me about conservatives..........:rofl

I myself use to be a conservative. Not a Neocon, but an actual conservative (they are like Libertarians, but differ on some issues like Foreign policy). My dislike of what the GOP was doing to the party drove me to the democratic party, where I have eventually changed my views over the years to the point where I am now a liberal.

I feel so sorry for you.

I moved from the GOP when they decided to condone Clinton's Sexcapades...

...and didn't move to the party that defended Clinton openly.

I chose a political party that stands, for the most part, for the ideals of the early founders of the country.

There's no way I could ever become a defender of Mao, Marx, Stalin, Pol Pot, FDR, and Clinton like you have.

MA. got it yesterday, N.J. and Virginia got it last fall, and maybe some day you will get it as well. How is that hope and change working out for you? What has liberalism created that has been good for the country and in particular what has Obama done to make things better?

I can't believe you just lumped all those guys together. LOL!

Wow, that is just complete BS.

Liberal =/= Communist. Sorry to burst your bubble.

From his point of view, all those characters ran on a platform of upsetting established bourgeoisie values. What they identified themselves "as" is really of no value. Certainly, if you looked at the status quo with disapproval, and think it is in need of a revolution, it would probably help your cause to distinguish between "failed," "semi-failed," and "successful" revolutionaries.

Yet from the standpoint of a Conservative in every sense of the word? There is no distinguishing features between one man or another. No more than you would notice the shoe style of your (potential) murderer.
