In a historic vote, on January 19, 2010, heavy underdog and State Senator Scott Brown defeated Attorney General Martha Coakley in a special election by a 52%-47% margin to replace the late Senator, Edward Kennedy, of Massachusetts. It has been nearly 4 decades since Massachusetts had elected a Republican to US Senate. Brown was able to overcome a once 30 point deficit by drawing a line in the sand between Coakley’s and his views on major issues.Where Coakley toed the Obama line of Nationalized healthcare, higher taxes, providing Miranda rights to captured terrorists, etc., Brown vehemently opposed her outlook of the world and began to chip away at her lead at each campaign stop. His battle cry became, if elected, he would block the vote on Obamacare because he would break Senator Reid’s philibuster-proof Senate. Coakley ended the final week of her campaign by insulting Catholics, Red Sox fans, and misspelling “Massachusetts” in her ads, so it was clear that in a close race, the undecided voters primarily sided with Brown; thus helping him secure momentum leading up to the Election.
When reflecting, an addict often conveys that he/she had to hit rock bottom in his life before beginning the road to recovery and sobriety. Well, it appears that America is sobering up after drinking “Obama’s Kool Aid” of false campaign promises and wrong-headed policies. Obama’s election last November has led to increased unemployment, a bigger more intrusive Government, secret Bill negotiations, unconstitutional favors, higher taxes, record spending, a desire to pass an unpopular healthcare Bill, and a weaker National Defense policy.
The President has not governed from the center and the American public has soundly rejected his agenda, so America continues to deny Obama, Reid, and Pelosi’s policy efforts. It began with Gubernatorial victories in New Jersey and Virginia, but the snowball effect continued with Brown’s victory over Coakley in the Bluest of Blue States, Massachusetts. --Without question, the election of Scott Brown has changed the political landscape in Washington, DC and the Democrats no longer have an unchecked means to pass their agenda. --And, Brown, may indeed, block Obamacare.
As the November 2010 Elections approach, it appears that 2010 will be a very long year for President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, Senator Reid, and the Democratic Party.
YES WE CAN…VOTE BETTER in 2010 and 2012!
