   Are they listening yet?

   I’m guessing they’re hearing something over the sound waves but they’re not going to admit yet that it’s the American public. Give them a few more wins like Brown’s tonight and they might get it.

   The Three Stooges are going to try to ram anything they can through as long as they can. They don’t think they need to listen to the people.

   They’re deaf and stupid – they would think it’s a weenie roast. Which in way, i guess it is.

   I apologize for the redundant post, but this seems to be a better place for it:

   Yet there are a shocking number of liberal Dims out there insisting that the losses in Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts are the consequence of Obama not going far enough in pursuit of his radical, destructive agenda. Earlier today, Olbermann, Mathews, and Maddow were all lamenting that the Dims only salvation will come by ramming through healthcare “reform”, otherwise they will face certain defeat next November. Yesterday, the same sentiment was repeated by Katrina vanden Heuvel on ABC’s This Week. And, of course, Bill Clinton now believes that his party’s rout in 1994 was the result of its not passing a healthcare bill!

   It won’t matter to the hacks and political careerists who determine Democratic party policy. The only people who make policy for the national Democrats are lifetime career pols and ideologues like Ed Markey, Anthony Weiner, Pete Stark and Nancy Pelosi in the House who never worked in the private sector. They only speak to each other and to people back home who are members of the local Democratic City committee and so they have no understanding of the real world.

    Brown is a fantastic candidate. He’s got some really good lines like ‘we should use our tax dollars for bullets and bombs to fight the terrorists and not lawyers to defend them.’ He seems exceedingly likable.

    But someone needs to tell him that the whole ‘people’s . . . ‘ campaign might backfire as communist speak. I know he doesn’t mean it that way and it’s a good line. But when I hear ‘the peoples’ . . . ‘ I generally think China.

    It’s probably just me, but I thought I’d point it out in case someone else thought it too.

    That said, it was great to see such a stunning campaign. Well done all the way around. Gas up the truck!

    I’m wondering how many dems that are up for re-election are going to decide not to run again due to family reasons, tired of politics, health reasons, etc. rather than risk

    TOTAL HUMILIATION

    by losing their seat to unknown tea-bag patriots that have said “enough.”

    One thing that jumps out is how several of them, even the Coakley voters, mouthed the same concerns that we Tea Party people have been mouthing. They are one step away from dropping their partisan slants and acknowledging that BOTH parties are united in warring on the will of citizens. That transcends any superficial differences we have gotten used to fighting over and that have kept us from uniting to defend our common interests.

    The Tea Party leaders should jump all over this. Forget about Dems and Reps. Re-register NOW to unaffiliated independent. Without the 52% independents in MA, the message out of MA would have been very different in a bad way. Independents should be 52% NATIONALLY.

    He ran a great campaign, and it was a great line for THIS campaign. I’m not bashing the guy who ran essentially a flawless and directed campaign on message better than most seasoned politicians (better at staying on message than Reid).

    He just looked like he was starting to get carried away with the whole ‘peoples’ . . . ‘ comment by saying everything is the peoples’. Just trying to get rid of a bad habit before it starts in a guy who clearly knows what he’s doing.

    Bi-partisanship from that last woman? Go screw yourself and your ilk. The socialists in this country have no desire whatsoever to be bi-partisan, unless they’re losing. I’ll be bi-partisan when it’s between the right and the right-center, if that.

    Talk about fear, I got polled by Friends of John McCain tonight. Methinks he’s trying to figure out his odds for reelection. I hope enough people replied to give him a taste of the rude awakening he’s in for, just like other liberals and moderates who will need to find other employment come next November. About 90 percent of Congress should be flushed. Tonight’s victory was nice, tomorrow it’s back to work to further clean house.

    Now the half that want Dems in charge but hope they’ll get the idea need to hear the honest Conservative message and understand that the liberals aren’t listening and won’t be starting to, ever.

    They just need to get the clue, government is not their friend and the authoritarian trolley has to reverse course.

    Tomorrow morning we are going to start hearing the drum beat of Jobs, Jobs, Jobs! and Jump Starting the Economy.
    These people are going to come up with some lousy garbage of legislation aimed at “putting people back to work” and, as Sen. Webb himself adimitted, they’ll try to slip in some lousy health care legislation.
    They’ll all try to walk away from this health care bill as if they are our friends now. We cannot forget what they have been trying to do and who they are. Don’t trust any of them.

    What Barney meant to say:

    Okay, those radical rightwing extremists were right. You got us. I admit we’ve been going way overboard. We were just messin’ with ya. We were testin’ ya to see how far we could go, to see how much we could get away with. Now we know. Can we let bygones be bygones? We won’t pull it on you again, America, we promise. You believe me, right?

    Sadly, some will.

    I think a lot of the intial Democratic impulse is to ignore the results in Massachusetts and go full speed ahead. I give Rep. Frank kudos for acknowledging political reality and even going so far as to say he’ll vote against any health care bill that comes in before Scott is sworn in.

    I don’t really care why he’s saying it at this point. He has done many weaselly things in the past, but his words this time around will go a long way in convincing the left that the fight is basically over.

    The take on ABC news-talking-heads I heard on the radio coming home (I worked all night) was that Obama has to pull a “Clinton,” turn right-ward, and suddenly become a “centrist.”

    I just don’t think Obama has the capacity to appear as anything else than what he really is–a hopeless radical leftist. I could be wrong (and I was wrong about this election), but Obama just doesn’t strike me as someone who CAN compromise his radicalism. He feels like he’s too close to becoming another FDR, and he isn’t going to give that up.

    FDR at least had the fear of God in his heart. Obama is nothing less than a radical socialist/Marxist/communist with a pseudo-religion bent.

    I commend Frank for “Saying that”… however, allot of “Promises” were made about hope/change/a different Washington, but yet it is has been a year of Business as Usual on Steroids. Corruption to the 10th power.

    I am sure a man caused (AKA Democrat) “Crisis” will come up the next day or two that “Can’t Wait” for Brown to be seated.

    Lets see….health care bill…a couple thousand pages of words of which NO one claims to have read and understood. Most of those who have read parts say it will result in less health care at a higher price, for those who pay. Let me be perfectly clear, those who don’t pay will also get less than they do now, but still it will be free. Those who advocate this bill want NO one to read and try to understand it. This is Political Science

    Side bar note to science students be kind to those are flunking out in Chem and Bio 1a…because you will be working for them some day as they leave and go on to the Real science of politics.
