by John Gaudio,
It's not over yet, but today's polls now show a strong majority for Scott Brown in the Massachusetts Senatorial election. It certainly helps that Scott Brown is a great candidate. When asked if he was willing to cast the vote that might shoot down President Obama's health care plan, from Ted Kennedy's seat, Brown respectfully responded that it is not Kennedy's seat, it is not the Democrat's seat. It is the people's seat.
More than that, the election of a Republican to one of Massachusetts two Senate seats, at a time when Obamacare hangs by a one vote thread in the Senate, sends a powerful message that even in the strongly Democratic commonwealth of Massachusetts, the people strongly resent what Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are trying to shove down the throats of the American people.
President Obama lied to us by running as a middle of the road candidate, promising transparency in government, promising bipartisanship, and promising to veto anything with earmarks. He is now ruling from the far left, refusing to allow us to see the process of creating this mess called Health Care Reform, supporting the most partisan politics I have ever seen, and signing terrible pork laden, spending bills. Obama came out to support Scott Brown's opponent, Martha Coakley, and the polls responded with a surge for Scott Brown.
Thank God the people of the United States are coming to see President Obama for what he really is, and voting to bring an end to his version of "Hope and Change."
(Addendum, 01/19/2010) I just found a short article by David Sirota, claiming that a Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts could "Strengthen Progressives on Health Care." Please follow the link below, and let me know through your comments if you think the Democrats might actually use reconciliation to pass President Obama's health care bill if Scott Brown wins today's election.
