Those Democrats who voted for Brown just spit all over Ted Kennedy's grave!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

And they should be ashamed of themselves!!

That is all. :(

[MrSlayer]

1. But she didn't know who Curt Schilling was.

Don't you realize what that means?

[FunkyLeprechaun]

11. Who's Curt Schilling?

Does this make me unelectable?

[Dr.Phool]

12. Jim Bunning in disguise.

[bigwillq]

14. No, but one should know who he is

before making comments while running for a Senate seat from Massachusetts.

[27inCali]

23. baseball isn't even a real sport anymore

it's just like wrestling totally fake and filled with pathetic panzy half-men who need to pump themselves full of drugs just to handle playing a fucking game.

so I don't blame anyone who doesn't give a shit about baseball any more, baseball is a joke.

[bigwillq]

24. Baseball is not a joke

to many people in Boston. You are more than free to feel the way you do, but it was still a mistake, imo, to say what she did.

[FunkyLeprechaun]

32. I know who he is

I was living in Boston in 2004 when they won the World Series. His comments as he ran for Bush in the 2004 elections made me think he was actually part of the Evil Empire not the Red Sox team.

That said, I'm glad he was so instrumental, bloody sock and all, in winning the WS for Boston.

[MrSlayer]

21. No, your status as a Leprechaun makes you unelectable.

Hoarding gold and all that makes people uneasy.

[FunkyLeprechaun]

33. I don't hoard gold

I only give it to people who actually see rainbows in the sky. :-)

[BeatleBoot]

2. And they pissed in the wind

Some dig that sort of thing, I guess.

[muntrv]

3. Who said they are Democrats?

[UrbScotty]

7. +1

It is disgusting how many people have tarnished the Democratic brand. :mad:

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

29. Apparently a fairly good amount of "DemoCRAPS" voted for the Repuke! n/t

[Vicar In A Tutu]

4. Well, such people never voted for Kennedy....

...they voted for a brand name - just as most would opt for Coke or Pepsi over some generic cola. Politics is on the same frivolous level to many people. They saw the glossy, shiny, cut-price Romney stylings of Brown and swooned all over him.

[bigjohn16]

5. Blame the voters.

That's a recipe for victory.

[DevonRex]

6. Yes they did. They're fucking assholes. nt

[Thrill]

8. Yup.

[LeftyAndProud60]

9. i hope more anger turns to the voters. nt

[Ozymanithrax]

10. The water they dumped on his grave isn't spit...

It is yellow, and comes form a lower point on the human body.

[NorthCarolina]

13. Blame The Voters! Blame the Liberals! Blame the Coakley Campaign! But DON'T Blame

the crappy POS Senate Health Care Plan that the DLC is about to ram down the throats of the House.

[golfguru]

16. +1

[treestar]

18. Blame the voters

That's right. They are responsible.

[CTLawGuy]

26. that might have been fixed

but not anymore. It's the senate bill or nothing now. Hope those "dems" are happy.

[NorthCarolina]

27. The Senate bill was as far as the DLC was willing to go regardless..

so they will get what they wanted all along....the Senate bill or nothing. What a coincidence!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

39. So, why not just sit out the election? Why not vote for the Independent?

Voting for the Repuke who is going to do absolutely NOTHING does not solve the problem!!

[jenmito]

15. Are you surprised? They're the same people who are teaming up with teabaggers who held signs

saying, "Bury Obamacare with Kennedy!"

[salguine]

17. The only person who should be ashamed is the person who

castigates a voter for voting for whomever he or she wishes to vote. Whether you agree with their votes or not, it is not the voter who owes the politician, even if that politician is Ted Kennedy.

[Igel]

19. So. . .

Did the people who voted for John Kennedy back in the '40s (or early '50s) instead of Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr, spit on Lodge Sr's grave?

Should John Kennedy have done what HCL/Jr would have done, since it was the "Lodges' seat" for so many years? Did voters diss the HCL/Sr by not voting for his scion?

Since when are Senate seats sinecures, to be passed in one's will like a feudal lordship?

Me thinks Sir Theodore would be most cross. While I have no doubt that he loved power and all its accoutrements, and probably viewed his seat territorially as a sinecure, nonetheless he was far too clever a politician to utter such an opinion in the presence of anybody who wasn't utterly paid for or of such small reputation as to be utterly ignored.

(Seriously, when did this become Feudal Underground? And, no, my previous paragraph contained nary an accolade, but reveals that I thought Ted Kennedy jaded while still clever enough to not forget that private sin and public virtue are utterly compatible.)

[leftygolfer]

20. they spit on each other and us

we are all paying for their pettiness and stupidity

[quantass]

22. It is the Party that is spitting on its People -- there's only so much that can be taken

I certainly would never vote republican but seeing as how the party has no respect for its voters i see no motivation to support this party and am more than happy to stay home. What to do when you have two parties that are just as disgraceful? Where are the REAL leaders who want to make REAL progressive change? Until then...good night, and good luck.

[demo dutch]

25. It sad toknow that the seat that belonged to the healthcare champ will try to nix healthcare

[Freddie Stubbs]

28. Ted Kennedy is partially at fault for tonight's results

He should have stepped down from his Senate seat once he became too ill to serve. If this election had happened months ago, the results likely have been different.

[bigjohn16]

30. Classiest post of the year. nt

[Freddie Stubbs]

35. The truth is often messy and makes us uncomfortable

But failure to acknowledge it may cause us to repeat the same mistakes in the future.

[bigjohn16]

37. So if he'd just died of cancer sooner you'd be happier today?

Stay classy.

[Freddie Stubbs]

38. No. He should have stepped down when he was no longer able to discharge his duties as a Senator

The people of Massachusetts deserved to have two Senators representing them, not one. What was the purpose of him retaining the title of Senator when he was no longer showing up in DC to vote?

[windbreeze]

42. Instead of the knee jerk reaction...think about what he said...

and I wondered the same thing...as soon as it was obvious that Ted was terminal...he could have retired, and had his seat filled, a long time ago, that isn't putting down Ted, at all, because I understand the emotions involved...but it IS just possible, that a fellow Dem...could/would have gotten it, under those circumstances, and again because of emotions having to do with Ted..but I will admit, that it's a bit redundant to talk about it now....hindsight always being 20/20 and all...I'd suggest, however, that Scott Brown not get too used to the seat...or too confident....I think Coakley ran a terrible campaign...and past history tells us...it's never time to rest on our laurels, and expect something to be handed to us, just because...wb

[ProgressOnTheMove]

40. He was taught to never quit no matter hwo hard it gets, that's how he helped his kids through their

ailments.

This result is a travesty on a million levels.

[auburnblu]

31. No Patrick Kennedy should be ashamed

Marcia. That was pathetic. And Marcia was pathetic as a candidate.

[kayla9170]

34. +1

[secondwind]

36. does anyone know what percentage of Dems voted for the centerfold?

[wisteria]

41. Get ready- 22%. n/t
