The Democrats’ Massachusetts meltdown
Good morning, readers. Hope you didn’t party too hard last night. If you went to bed early (as opposed to those of us who never went to sleep!), you can catch up on all the election live-blogging fun here. My syndicated column today dissects the twin meltdowns of Bay State and Beltway Democrats. But even with Scott “41!” Brown’s victory, the battle over Demcare has only just begun. The health care takeover-peddlers are looking for a back-up plan. If they can’t get their full “public option” Trojan Horse through the gates, they’ll settle for Trojan Ponies.
In “Paul Revere’s Ride,” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote of “the muster of men at the barrack door.” Today, it’s the muster of men at Barack’s door who must be met with “a cry of defiance, and not of fear.” The nutroots are cranking up the pressure on congressional liberals to cling to the most radical form of Demcare and “fight harder for change.” What part of Coakley/Obama’s epic fail doesn’t the party in power understand?
Tea Party activists must stay vigilant and crank it up even louder to warn of the coming big government perils.
Side note: At a church pulpit on Sunday, President Obama declared that Demcare’s passage would be “a victory for dignity and decency, and for our common humanity.” Since the voters of Massachusetts effectively killed Obama’s plans to ram the bribe-laden Demcare package down taxpayers’ throats, will he now declare them all enemies of dignity, decency, and common humanity who are spitefully flipping the late Ted Kennedy the bird?
Oh, wait. Garrison Keillor and Roger Ebert already did it for him.

The Democrats’ Massachusetts meltdown
by Michelle Malkin

Copyright 2010
By early afternoon on Tuesday, several hours before the polls closed on the special Senate election in Massachusetts, the Democrats had already thrown in the towel and started throwing punches. At each other. There was more finger-pointing among Bay State and Beltway Democrats than a Three Stooges TV marathon. More back-stabbing than all of the Real Housewives combined.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs confessed that President Obama was “frustrated” and “not pleased” by the closeness of the race after his salvation mission to Boston over the weekend. Operatives lashed out at Democrat candidate Martha Coakley’s listless, gaffetastic campaign. Capitol Hill buzzed with rumors that White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was blaming the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and liberal pollster Celinda Lake for ignoring electoral alarm bells.
In response, Coakley’s team leaked a memo blasting national Democrats brethren for failing to aid them “until too late.” Another Democratic Party official counter-jabbed to Politico.com that Coakley had “been involved in the worst case of political malpractice in memory.”
On the sidelines, Democrat Rep. Barney Frank took to the airwaves to call for sabotaging Senate rules and ending the filibuster in anticipation of losing the magic 60th vote for the government health care takeover plan. Democrat Rep. Steny Hoyer trotted out the old blame-the-GOP card – incoherently arguing that GOP candidate Scott Brown’s surge among conservatives, independents, and once-reliable rank-and-file Democrat voters in the deep-blue state of Massachusetts was a backlash against Republican obstructionism.
“I think what the public is angry about is they see, first of all, an opposition for opposition’s sake,” Hoyer told reporters in D.C. If Democrats continue to cling to that outer-space nonsense, the shock they will suffer in the November 2010 elections will make January 19 look like a spa day.
GOP candidate Scott Brown’s surge is an unmistakable victory for Tea Party activism. Online fund-raising over the last few weeks buoyed the campaign and put Brown in the national spotlight. Buzz over a possible “Massachusetts Miracle” persuaded national Republican organizations to belatedly transfer funds for phone and mail get-out-the-vote operations targeted at independent voters.
There was nothing particularly “clever” about GOP candidate Scott Brown’s election strategy, as White House senior adviser and Astroturf master David Axelrod put it, or “radical,” as hysterical Massachusetts Democrat Sen. John Kerry put it. Brown ran a simple, mainstream Republican campaign aided by grass-roots support nationwide. The Tea Party movement once derided as “tiny” and “fringe” reportedly filled Brown’s coffers with small donations totaling $1 million a day over the last week, according to TheDailyCaller.com. He didn’t have to solicit their support. He earned it by reflecting the mood of Massachusetts voters who have turned against the Demcare scheme and its backroom deals.
An Army National Guardsman, Brown also drew sharp contrasts between his support for a robust, proactive national security stance and Coakley’s law enforcement approach endorsing civilian trials on American soil for jihadi suspects. Her cluelessness about the presence of Taliban in Afghanistan didn’t help her soft-on-terrorism image.
In short, Brown ran on core issues fiscal responsibility, limited government, and a strong national defense, while appealing to a broader swath of voters by emphasizing integrity, independence, and willingness to stand up to machine politics. After a year’s worth of Democrat stimulus giveaways to cronies, reneging on transparency pledges, and Cash for (fill-in-the-blank) bailouts, voters have had enough of the enablers and water-carriers. Brown channeled the energies of taxpayers of all stripes who are disgusted and angry — yes, ANGRY! – with the culture of corruption Washington. That is how Brown has struck common ground with his insurgent center-right-indie coalition: By stepping up to oppose the Dems’ plans to rig the game and undermine representative government, instead of sneering at “Teabaggers.”
While a self-satisfied and entitled Coakley vacationed or partied with D.C. lobbyists, Brown drove around in his GM truck, shaking hands in the cold outside Fenway Park – earning the scorn of Coakley and President Obama, who mocked Brown’s truck six times at the Boston rally this weekend to the delight of blue-nosed Democrats.
Barney Frank griped at the Coakley-Obama rally that Coakley “let it become a personality contest and that was a mistake.” The supreme irony in hearing Beltway Democrats snipe at Coakley over her effete, out-of-touch attitude is that their commander-in-chief at 1600 Pennsylvania suffers the same fatal flaws. Exactly one year after Obama was inaugurated, the Massachusetts meltdown mirrors the White House meltdown. For the sake of their political survival, Democrats need to stop promising change and start promising self-correction.

In practically every election, one or more Democrats speak from a church pulpit. If a Republican did the same thing, the church would likely be threatened with losing their tax exempt status. But the law behind this threat is unconstitutional.
Political messages preached from the pulpit used to be the norm, not the exception, and have played a HUGE role in the history of this country.
Good first step(in the right direction) as the MA. Brown win required GOP + Independents + at least the complancency of hard wired Dems. I don’t expect Obambi & crew to fold, but maybe this will help the rest of the country to force retreat from Liberals, et al.
I listened to a bit of the CNN and MSNBC. All I can say is I hope that obama and the democrats take the advice of the pundits on these stations. The impact in November will be even greater.
I also hope that the Republican politicians are listening as well because it is obvious that the independents were the key in the Brown victory. And it is very obvious that the independents have left because of the constant moves to the left when it comes to governing.
It is time for smaller, leaner and less intrusive government, particularly at the federal level.
Offending readers is how you wish to appeal to them through your posts?

A great win–but this is only the “first shot” of the revolution. Comrade Obama (PBUH) and his ilk in congress will try to get the rest of their agenda rammed through before the 2010 election disaster breaks their lock on government.
***
Now the effort will be to turn another few RINO’s or “blue dogs” to continue the march to socialism. What’s it take, bozo? Money, ambassadorships, lobbyist positions, etc? Name your price–we can deal!
***
The AMERICAN PRAVDA ignored the Tea Parties–they called the hundreds of thousands that flooded the Capitol a few thousand. But they can’t ignore Scott Brown’s victory–and it was democrats and independents who had voted for the Messiah who put him in office.

TSUNAMI COMING! ICEBERG AHEAD!

I celebrated last night by shooting off a couple shot gun blasts. Just my way of sticking it to my Progressive neighbors.
traveler49–hope you bagged a couple of squab for the celebratory dinner plate.
Watched tv through the night. Celebrating at Ruth’s Chris tonight (with airline points). Brilliant victory speech, esp the part about our money going towards weapons for our troops and not lawyers for our enemies.
Next on the list, “Republican” Crist, among others. Rubio is another awesome candidate, just like Scott Brown. A lot of senators, congressmen, governors, etc., SHOULD be worried.
All need to be done to help with health care is allow portability. Let us get insurance across state lines. Quit tying the hands of health care workers. And that malpractice insurance mess?
Thank you, voters of Massachusetts, you rock!
And I meant “to start” to help with health care. Keep the government out of it otherwise.
It sounds like the Democrats are abusing the Medicinal Marijuana again.
Hoyer’s comments may not be the stupidest and least coherent rant of the day but they have to be in the top five!
Frankly, either they don’t get it or they simply don’t care what the electorate thinks and wants. Of course, it might be both. And they might get away with it for a few more months. I don’t think they can get away with ignoring the people for a full year but that doesn’t mean they won’t try.
Brown’s victory should get their attention for nothing other than self-preservation. But maybe they think they can pull this off and ram through something that the GOP won’t be able to undo after the 2010 or 2012 elections.
These people are deluded so it is difficult to anticipate the actions of fevered and lunatic minds…
I am not surprised, but surely not amused either, by so many MSM talking heads and Dem brow-beaters claiming that the “message” voters were sending was that they wanted MORE
[SORRY, hit submit too early]
I am not surprised, but surely not amused either, by so many MSM talking heads and Dem brow-beaters claiming that the “message” voters were sending was that they wanted MORE action from Congress, that they were upset at Congress’s failure to pass healthcare. IT IS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE, MORONS!!! We’re angry that the issue even came up!!! WE DON’T WANT GOVERNMENT RUN, OWNED, OPERATED OR EVER REGULATED HEALTHCARE!!!
Errah, I thought they had put the Daily Show on early last night but then realized I had erroneously put on MSLSD. Very funny political analysis by the three guys they had on. Keith Overbite, Chris “Screwball” Matthews and Rachelle Madcow.
Last night in MA; ‘IT’S ABOUT OBAMA, STUPID!’
___‹^›__‹(•¿•)›__‹^›___
I must say that it is the first time in my adult life that I am proud of Massachusetts!
There is a difference between lobbying and campaigning. A church can engage in the former, but not the latter. The line can get blurry sometimes, but arguing for a health care bill in a church would clearly not be prohibited activity.
#129 – Loved your comment! Ditto from a Rush Dittohead and big fan of Michelle Malkin. Also proud of Glenn Beck and Fox for calling the Progressives out. Yeah!
Brown cannot get there to soon.
Obama to Nationalize Student Loans
The fight has not subsided one bit.
HAHA! The 3 Stooges? Ooops, sorry about that. NOT!
Lordy, it’s also about Gitmo, terrorist, the economy stupid, jobs, taxes, czars, czars and more czars. I forgot in my excitement!
What not do they understand? Nothing this man has done has worked except to make things worse. Obie’s a menace.
chap,
Wasn’t he in that church campaigning for Coakley?
“BOOM BOOM BOOM Mr. Brown is a wonder!
BOOM BOOM BOOM Mr. Brown makes thunder!
He makes lightning SPLATT SPLATT SPLATT!
And it’s very, very hard to make a noise like that.”
Are you kidding?
First off the implication that there is no politicking going on in churches for the Republican candidates is on its face absurd.
Second, the notion that churches who may engage in it on the Democratic side don’t face action by the IRS is wrong as well In May 2008 the IRS ultimately determined no law had been broken for a number of reasons. But the threat was there.
No.
I was watching the same network that Teddy Kennedy was just to see what kind of spin was being applied. What was freaking hilarious was the the angriest guy on TV, Rachel the Madcow switched from Brown’s party room where it was really loud and tons of people, then she went to the correspondent at MARSHA Croakley’s morgue and the correspondent actually said that she could barley hear the angriest guy on TV, Rachel because of the band and all the people. The camera was strategically placed where no one could see behind her. I did, however catch a glimpse of some guy turning out the lights.
Last time I checked, the biased politicization of a church came with legal repercussions
Meanwhile, Senator-elect Brown just mentioned he would support a national health care program if something better than Romneycare could be drafted.
A church can advocate for or against specific legislation.
A church cannot advocate for a specific candidate.
Unless Obama got up there and implored the congregation to vote for Coakley, or give money to Coakley or campaign for Coakley, the church was well within its rights.
Believe me, I have spent more hours studying what is and is not prohibited political activity for a 501(c)(3) than I care to count.
I can send you some of the legal memos I had to write on the issue, if you’d like.
I’ve always been proud of Massachusetts; it’s a beautiful state with a lot of great history (the early years anyway).
No, it’s my fellow Massachusetts voters I’ve had a problem with – but not today!
Errah,
“angriest guy on TV, Rachel Madcow” . . . . LOL!!!! He is, isn’t he??!! Keith Overbite soiled himself.
True that!
The problem with Michelle’s last sentence…
…is that we saw Democrats for what they were when they had the prospect for absolute power.
Remember, after Election Day 2008 they had 58 Senate votes. They worked and worked on the Minnesota results and finally massaged them to get vote #59, Al Franken.
Then they sweet-talked Arlen Specter to make him their magic 60th vote. Specter knew he’d never make it through a GOP primary but didn’t think he’d have a Democrat opponent.
The Democrats even put up with Joe Lieberman, who’s been a thorn in their side, just to make sure he’d stay on the ranch and keep their count at 60.
Unfortunately for the Democrats, Ted Kennedy became mortally ill and even when his final act was to get Massachusetts to change its law to allow his successor to be immediately appointed, they obviously assumed the seat was in the bag or they wouldn’t have allowed for a special election.
That turned out to be a fatal mistake – then again, look for them to turn up the heat on vulnerable Republicans like Collins and Snowe.
We see Democrats for what they are, so there is no self-correction.

Please allow me to introduce you to a new word.
BIPARTISON
Def: Of, consisting of, or supported by members of two parties, especially two major political parties: a bipartisan resolution.
Obama and crew campaigned and promised “bipartisanship” and haven’t delivered.
I have never seen congress so divided down party lines.
The Dems thought they could go it alone because they held a super majority.
This attitude of “We won” so we get it all our way just a ain’t gonna get it now is it?
It means you must COMPROMISE and DEBATE and WORK WITH OTHERS.
Not your strong points I know but one does hope…
Both parties need to get off of their high horse and try and get some GOOD bills passed.
Ones that we NEED that will directly affect the American people.
Not this POS bill that does nothing for anyone but big pharma and unions.
Rewrite the health care bill and do it in a truly bipartisan manner and it will pass.
How about putting these items listed below in a new health care bill?
Who could be against these simple ideas?
Each of these would reduce costs directly to the consumer.
-> Cross-border competition for insurance.
(Obama opposes greater choice through increased health insurance competition across state lines)
Link: http://michellemalkin.com/2009/09/21/video-the-white-house-opposes-health-insurance-competition-across-state-lines/
-> Allow Americans to buy their prescription drugs from abroad, where prices are generally much cheaper.
(The Senate killed legislation to do this. Thirty Democrats and Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut voted to kill the provision.)
-> Tort Reform: Reforming the medical malpractice insurance system, a.k.a. “med-mal reform” or tort reform, could save $54 billion over 10 years.
WHY NOT THESE IDEAS?
Because congress is bought and paid for.
Well that is gonna change.
We The People are on to you.
Do your job or you are fired.
The clock is ticking. . . . .
But there is a line that depends on how you define “substantial”, and specific actions taken to directly influence legislation. I serve on the board of two 501(c)(3)’s, and the line is usually not so “blurry”.
Oh sure, like that is going to stop a church from advocating for a liberal.
They will be cited about as often as Eric Holder prosecutes a member of the NBPP or ACORN.
When it happens Chap I’ll check for a freeze warning in hell or pigs to formation fly over my house.
Not challenging your position, as I am sure you know the law; just commenting on the selective, politicized enforcement of it.
So which Kindle did you get the wife? I presume you also added Michelle’s books to it…
Hey Garrison! Isn’t there an ice floe out in the middle of Lake Wobegone waiting for you?
And Ebert! You ain’t squat without Siskel! Just thought I’d throw that out there for you.
If your board is doing lobbying and has not made the 501(h) election, you almost definitely should. The “substantial activities” test is nearly obsolete. Rather, 501(c)(3)s should me making the election and following the expenditures test. It makes accounting a LOT easier (for example, no need to account for volunteer time) and provides bright line rules.
The newest generation with the 6 inch screen. I tried to convince her to get “Going Rogue” but no dice
Do you have any statistics to back up the alleged selective enforcement of this?
As far as I know, only one church has lost its exemption over political activity (again, this is different than lobbying). And that was an especially egregious case that ended in 2000. Since then who has been in office? Why do you think the Bush Administration would target churches that campaign for Republican candidates rather than Democrat?
We will have to wait and see what happens with the many churches that invited the IRS to try to revoke their status in the last election by coming out for McCain, as I linked above.
If anything, both sides are getting a pass on some things that push the envelope.
Churches are tax exempt by definition. They don’t have a 501c3 exemption to revoke.
What a SWEET, SWEET day!
I really believe this is a taste of things to come. And the Keith Obermann’s, etc’s, have only helped make this happen with their insults and slandering of anyone who would not get with their program. I am not eligible to vote is Mass, but I must say thank you to them for firing up the conservatives there!
This is not true. Churches do not have to APPLY for 501(c)(3) status by filing IRS Form 1023, like other 501(c)(3) organizations. But it IS a 501(c)(3) and can lose its status as such.
It wasn’t just in Mass. It’s all over.
Bho’s fatal flaw is that it is never his fault. Martha messed up and wasted his time in coming to MA. He failed to see that making fun of Brown’s truck was hardly presidential. I keep hearing that old “clinging to their guns and religion”. Bho became POTUS to teach all the truck driving, gun owning, religious, terrorist nutjobs how the elitist, jet-setting, arrugula eating, tax and spend socialists were going to make our lives better.
Always got a kick out of Prarie Home Companion. Ironic that his career of poking fun at moronic Lutheran liberals from Minnisota now clashes so violenty with his political agenda.
The Sons of Knut would not be pleased.
Hey! At least at this rate, by the time 2012 rolls around, Jimminy Carter won’t have to carry the burden of being America’s worst president anymore!!!
Peanut Farmers — Activate!
If Keith Olberdolt and Rachel Madcow were to marry, which would be the husband, and which would be the wife?
And if they had any offspring, would it be (just) less or (just) more fugly than those things Sigourney Weaver is always fighting off?
In honor of Brown’s victory, I am currently wearing brown shoes, brown pants, brown belt, and a brown sweater.
And I’m enjoying a delicious bowl of New England Clam Chowder (chowda).
I’ve asked a few conservatives today, “What color am I wearing?”
They say, “Brown”, and then after about a 1 second pause, they break into a smile.
On January 20th, 2010 at 2:26 pm, Gorebot said:
Before the election, Democrats claimed that McCain was running for “Bush’s third term“.
My response was that Obama was running for “Carter’s second term“.
Errah they are considered “Married” in MA. As for procreation Madcow has the combo and Overbite squats to pee . . . .
If Obama care fails, I would blame it squarely on “the SWIMMER” himself.
Why did he have to die before his lifelong dream became reality?
Without the Pope’s communion, the Swimmer was not going to be admitted to Heaven anyway, unless of course, he swam to the Heaven in the dark of the night!
Scott Brown’s speech today on C-SPAN:
5 minutes into the video: “”I voted for health care here…. we’re past campaign mode and it’s important for everyone to get some form of health care. So to offer a basic plan for everyone I think is important.. there are some very good things in the national health care plan that is being proposed”
It’s worth noting what has happened to Obama’s average Rasmussen “passion index”.
If you break Obama’s 1st year in office (Rasmussen poll results released 1/21/09 – 1/20/10) into quarters, Obama’s average in the 4th quarter was a BIGGER NEGATIVE than his 1st quarter was positive.
Election to Inauguration: average 19.2
1st Quarter: average____11.4
2nd Quarter: average___2.2
3rd Quarter: average___-8.2
4th Quarter: average___-11.5
the same flaw that got this country in the condition we are in now and have been over the last 70 years.
It scares me if newly elected conservatives arrive in Washington and catch Washingtonitus ending up the exact person they ran to defeat.
To think, in the not to distant past on Tax Day thousands of people protested in their local communities. Today, we have Change!
We asked on April 15, 2009, “Can you hear us now?”
We asked on July 4, 2009, “Can you hear us now?”
We asked on September 12, 2009, “Can you hear us now?”
We asked on January 12, 2010 (the money bomb), “Can you hear us now?”
Thank you to all of the MA voters who voted for Brown yesterday.
I think the answer to, “Can you hear us now?” is finally “Yes!”
Yes indeed. Of course, Stenny Hoyer, a Maryland liberal is still threatening to ram the healthcare bill down our throats.
As a retired Maryland Police Officer, I am asking all Maryland voters to kick out Hoyer and every other Democrat. By the way, I now live in South Carolina where Jim DeMint and Joe Wilson speak the truth.
Sorry Lindsey Graham and Mark Sanford, same can’t be said for you two.
God Bless America
Errah now maybe ole #59 Stuart Smalley can be quietly removed from the gene pool in the senate locker room and return some decorum to this fine and venerable institution.
FIFY
A friend of mine works at Arlington National Cemetery. I called him to ask if there where any unusual sounds coming from Dead Ted’s plot (such as muffled cursing, thumping, etc). He advised that there HAD been reports of the ground shaking in the vicinity last
night…
Forget about it, Jake; it’s Beantown.
Errah
As one of the newest members of the commonwealth, I’ve had quite a rough day typing here while spinning around. Sorry for a;ll my typos.
LWWG — Liberal Weenies With Guns
Jimmie: I don’t believe the LWWG would work. Since guns kill people, the LW bearing guns would be TERRIBLY afraid of being killed by the very guns they are carrying!
Most likely they would suffer a self-inflicted wound — gunshot in the foot.
What was with Jawn F’n Kerry and the crutches during Coakley’s concession speech last night? One shot showed him climbing stairs and holding the crutches together like he was carrying thm for someone else. Later he was shown using them himself.
Maybe one of his old war wounds was causing him pain. No, that can’t be; he never spent a day in the hospital in Viet Nam even though he was awarded 3 purple hearts. Maybe his legs just gave out, so stunned was he that his constituents didn’t give a rat’s a$$ about winning one for The Tedder.
This ones for Mary Jo Kopechne!! For all those years you were forgotten while Teddy Tanqueray ran around Washington drunk. He should have been in prison, not in the United States Senate. Only in the Democrat party can causing someone’s death and running from it get you to climb up the ladder. I only hope the Kopechne family can rest a little easier knowing that the “Kennedy seat” is NO MORE!!!!!
Brown’s election will go down in history as the shot heard round the world, just like 1776.
Heh. Good one, shoulda been mine.
Now cut to scene of Barney getting his nostril slit with a switcblade.
Trojan rabbits a la Spamalot.
*Another upside is that when Teddy is turning over in his grave, he is getting “browned” all over!
I’d hate to be in Harry Reid’s home ANY night.
If I wasn’t so afraid of catching some incurable communicable disease, I’d tell each one of those DU, Huffington Post, Move-On types that they can kiss my pink Irish ass. So instead I’ll just tell them all to just drop dead.
If you look at almost any small town in New England you will find a Congregational Church many of which orginally served as the meeting house for town government back when our country was being founded.
Dictating a restriction on the use of church property is not only an unconstitutional infringement – it’s 180 opposite to an activity that helped to win the very freedoms these moronic liberals take for granted.
Liberals would probably even have a hissy fit about sending light signals from a church bell tower.
Ted Kennedy must have haunted me last night because I discovered that someone drank almost all of my Chevis Regal then drove my car into a nearby pond.
