Senator Scott Brown Stain, the legacy of health care reform and how the Pukes outmaneuvered us again

[DainBramaged]

Does anyone now think that the slow down by the Pukes in the House and Senate wasn't a huge gamble hoping to get to this point where we don't have the Super-majority in the Senate (thanks to bad decisions by the DNC and Rahm Emanuel?)

I do and I give them more credit than our leaders for being able to plan ahead. They did it from 1980 until last year (Clinton was an anomaly for them).


One of these days, Democrats will learn to think like them and fight like them. Oh wait, Governor Dean, how we miss you. You were a fighter and made great decisions.

1. Yup.

K&R

Damn.

2. They will do anything, and try anything, just to gain an inch of ground.

The basic policy of the Rs is to throw anything they can find against the wall and see what sticks. Even the tiniest fluke of a gain is still a gain to them.

3. And we won't fight to keep that inch, proved it last night

sad.

4. It sounds like Brown ran as an independent

Several MA people have posted (and there have been a few news items) that Brown didn't have GOP or Republican on his signs, his bus, etc.

The Republicans have been doing that out here in the western states for the last few election cycles. They've learned not to associate themselves with a shitty label.

Sounds like this is a win for independent voters, not Dems or Repubs.

5. In NJ they used BLUE signs when Christie was campaigning

And too too many Seniors thought he was a Democrat.

The Pukes, masters of deception. One of these days we will stop taking the high road and think about KEEPING political office so that we can DO SOMETHING BENEFICIAL for the PEOPLE.

6. Don't kid yourself

this is a win for the corporations

the spineless and bought out dems had a year to do something and they did JACK SH*T. And now the voters are making them pay.

[DainBramaged]

7. Uh, I think I mentioned that somewhere about our leaders, didn't I?

The voters didn't make anyone pay.

[leftstreet]

8. Oh I agree

The corporations win no matter what

It's just interesting that voters may have been swayed by an 'unbranded' and 'unlabeled' political campaign.

9. If they did

if they did buy a phony repug dressed as an independent, then it's just another sign of the dumbing down.
