GOP Candidate Warns Obama to 'Stay Away' From Massachusetts Senate Race

[cali]

Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown issued a stern warning to President Obama, cautioning him to "stay away" from Massachusetts as he battles Democratic rival Martha Coakley in a heated race, the Boston Herald reported.

"He should stay away and let Martha and I discuss the issues one on one," Brown told the Herald. "The machine is coming out of the woodwork to get her elected. They're bringing in outsiders, and we don't need them."

Polls indicate Brown, a state senator, and Coakley, Massachusetts' Attorney General, are locked in a virtual tie to fill the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's Senate seat. Coakley's campaign is now scrambling for a last-minute boost from Obama before Tuesday's election, the newspaper reported.

Coakley told the Herald on Wednesday that she hasn't heard from the White House and would welcome any public support from Obama.

"I welcome his support, but we've got a lot of support here in Massachusetts (and) I think he's got a lot on his plate in Washington," she told the paper.

1. Bwaaaaaaaaah

hahahahahaha - fuck you you two bit loser.

[Richardo]

2. "Machine" is the GOP's new "chicago politics", which replaced "san francisco values"

I've heard that word many times in the last two days.

[Dinger]

3. Didn't Gibbs Say Something About This The Other Day?

Something to the effect of "We don't give a shit about Coakley. We don't want to piss off any republicans, especially joe LIEberman."?

[Pirate Smile]

12. No, he didn't say that crap.

:eyes:

[Dinger]

13. DU Link:

[Richardo]

15. ...in which he doesn't say that crap.

[Dinger]

18. But He Does Address The Coakley Campaign

That apparently isn't going to get WH support, or at least not much of it.


"The President did send an email today, and that's good. But Gibbs said today that the President isn't going to fly up there to help. And that's that. It's difficult to understand what is more important than watching the Democrats' entire agenda disappear next week when we lose our 60th vote in the Senate."

[Pirate Smile]

21. That's nice truthiness you've got there.

[Dinger]

22. Thank You

[Pirate Smile]

19. Nothing is in there like the crap you said.

[Dinger]

23. No, Not In THOSE Words, You're Right (nt)

[euphoria12leo]

25. Really,

I got an email from John Spears,MA.BarackObama.com Organizing for America to make calls for Martha. That sure doesn't match with what you're saying.


:wow:

[Pirate Smile]

27. That's because it isn't true but some people on DU like to spread lies about Obama.

They even seem proud of it.

[euphoria12leo]

32. I know it isn't true

that's exactly why I put it out there. I have some time today and I'm going to make calls not read the usual bs and lies
placed on the days menu.

[harkadog]

44. Is Obama helping? Is he going there?

That is the issue not some snark by a poster.

[Dinger]

46. Yup

Haven't heard anything yet. Guess it could happen. We'll see.

[euphoria12leo]

47. Do you think the president

can be everywhere all the time? I guess you don't think he has enough on his plate. He had to cancel one trip already. And what exactly are you doing to help?

[harkadog]

50. There was a post on DU the other day about

what a great golf game Obama had. I think he can fit in the time. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=433x122976

[euphoria12leo]

51. Oh so he doesn't need

anytime for relaxation. First people were complaining he was overexposed, doing too much. Then he's not doing enough. Which is it? BTW don't we have other Democrats that can help. I donated to www.actblue.com click on Coakley. The question was what are you doing to help? BTW I saw the link about the 2 iron, didn't click the link then and don't plan to now. If the president had a good golf game good for him. I didn't click on the thread because I figured it was something negative.

[harkadog]

52. Of course you wouldn't like to see any information that conflicts

with your world view. If you have to go through life with blinders on to get by go for it. I am not the President. To question what we as individuals do to push politics along as if it is equal to what a President can do is just foolish.

[euphoria12leo]

54. I don't care whether you agree with me or not.

And I don't have to agree with you. You don't know what my world view is so stop trying to act as though you do. You don't know when I agree/disagree with the President because I don't say it on this site. Feeding in to a bunch of crap just doesn't do it for me. Blinders give me a break is that all you got?

[Dinger]

45. Well That Is Good To Hear

Seems like there's some conflicting info out there.

[euphoria12leo]

48. This is true

and I wish people would get it right. Obama deserves that much even if you hate him.

:banghead:

[grytpype]

4. What a ****.

Sorry, it's one of the three words you still can't say.

Rhymes with bundt.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

17. He's related to Alan Funt?!

Who knew?

[cascadiance]

5. Well if he feels bad about it, then feel free to bring in Bush to help you out jerk!

Oh, he's not that popular and won't work for you! I wonder why!!!

Personally, I'd like to see more Democratic candidates be more independent from Obama too, and champion more core progressive Democratic principles without his "help". Maybe bring in someone like Russ Feingold instead to help with that.

[City of Mills]

6. I'm sure he's returning the checks...

...written by supporters outside of Massachusetts... :eyes:

This guy is such a phony, all he needs to do is take out ads driving around in a pickup truck with a cowboy hat on to complete the 'everyman' facade...oh wait, he DID drive around in his ads in a pickup truck. I guess the cowboy hat thing probably wouldn't resonate here in the Bay State...surprised he wasn't wearing a Red Sox cap.

[DefenseLawyer]

7. We don't need any agitators coming up here

getting everybody all agitated.

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. Brown, as in "the skid marks in his shorts".

[unhappycamper]

9. Scott. Scott. Scott

You are toast. And you know it.

[Jennicut]

10. You mean not like in the special election in NY, where the GOP brought tons of outsiders in?

Rethugs are consistent hypocrites. Come on fellow New Englanders, see past this bs. We are smarter then this.

[11 Bravo]

11. Did the Cosmo centerfold issue this warning about an outsider meddling ...

in a Massachusetts election before or after announcing that Rudy Guiliani would be coming into the state to campaign for him?

[unhappycamper]

14. I'm actually considering going to see R911udy when he comes to town.

After all, how often do we see a Reich wing nutbag in Mass.?

[Mass]

16. So, I guess he told Guiliani to stay home tomorrow? and returned the money collected by the Tea

Party movement that he is not familiar with despite several campaign events with them?

[DFW]

20. Speak much English, Scott?

That's "let Martha and ME," not "let Martha and I." Twenty-something universities in Boston alone, and you
can't get first grade grammar right? Do these people feel some kind of obligation to prolong the sterotype
of the ignorant Republican (and not just because of their grammar), or are they really that way?

[ruggerson]

24. ONE fucking poll indicated a close race

all the others, including the most recent ones, show Coakley with a comfortable lead.

Gotta love Fox "news."

[WI_DEM]

26. more than one.

[DainBramaged]

29. links please

[WI_DEM]

31. check the internet, but there is PPP & Rasmussen which show a close race. The poll that has Coakley

up 15-points is also a fairly dated poll--having been conducted Jan 2-6, so it's over a week old. The other polls are more recent.

[DainBramaged]

40. Rasmussen=toilet paper, they are a Reich-wing polling service

[Common Sense Party]

42. Here's one showing a dead heat

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_MA_45398436.pdf

I don't think they're reich-wing. They say there is low interest among likely Democratic voters.

Whoops. Edited to fix wrong link

[DainBramaged]

28. GOP candidate warns he will cry if Black man helps White woman win election

what a fucking asshole. FUCX news is literally his campaign headquarters and now he's playing bully boy.


I hope Obama flies in TODAY.

[blondeatlast]

30. In other words, "I'm scared." nt

[terrell9584]

33. Did she really say what I heard she said?

About Fenway?

[bluescribbler]

34. What a moran

He doesn't realize that State Senators don't tell the President what to do.:dunce:

[Arkana]

35. Blow it out your ass, you goddamn fascist.

Christ, Scott Brown grates on me more than Romney did when he was governor.

[phantom power]

36. Political machines aren't so fun when they're not *yours*, are they Scott?

:rofl:

[Matariki]

37. oh - if that statement doesn't make me want to donate to Coakley's campaign...

I wasn't going to, but now I think I will.

[COLGATE4]

38. Fuck him

and the horse he rode in on.

[southernyankeebelle]

39. I would tell the GOP to F***k off. President Obama can do as he

pleases. In case the GOP FORGOT the president is a free man and the president of the country.

[Union Yes]

41. He just lost the race! BWAHAHAH .. I say good based on that. Fuck him knr nt

[wisteria]

43. What a jerk, he has Gulliani and the Teabaggers coming to Mass. to help him.

I just hold on to the thought that the people of Massachusetts are to smart to actually vote for this guy. They know electing Romney was a mistake.

[upi402]

49. I wish Dems had balls like that.

There are too few with courage, and they get slimed by other "Democrats".

[bridgit]

53. Pft, what an idiot - if I were Obama I'd fly my chopper up there, land in the commons and start...

spitting seed husks in the trash can that had better be in front of his campaign headquarters as a matter of public decency *then* I'd fluff his bunting with my rotors :thumbsup:

[laughingliberal]

55. What an ass! He 'warned' the President not to come. nt
