Wow...wow...WOW!!I cannot believe this! I cannot get my brain to grasp what my eyes are telling it is happening! Is this real? After 42 years? Whoa! It is!! It is!!
Ted Kennedy won his Senate seat in a special election in 1962, claiming it pretty much as a birthright since it belonged to his brother JFK who had stolen his way, *ahem* since he got elected President in 1960.
Fast forward to 2008. Barack Obama, hailed by Ol' Teddy as the 'New' JFK was rising in the polls like a bottle rocket. Kennedy proclaimed BO was the fulfillment of the JFK dream and the confirmation of liberal dreams for America; a good looking, eloquent liberal black Democrat man sweeping to power with a Super Majority in each house. And they got it. The GOP put up the worst candidate and the weakest fight since Dole's disasterous bedwetting effort in 1996; John McCain, who promptly got stomped like a stinkbug.
In fact, if good old Sarah hadn't been riding shotgun on that road to nowhere, McCain would have lost in an avalanche (I personally think McCain knew he was going to lose and stuck her on the ticket to minimize the damage and save face, kind of like a team scoring in the closing seconds of a football game, adding a cosmetic touchdown to make it less embarassing).
Anyway, old Barry jumps into office spouting this and that about changing the way America does business in terms of the economy, energy, immigration, health care, the military....blah blah blah. According to His Blackness, America is all wrong, always has been and he's the only one smart enough to 'fix' the nation and make it 'fair' for everyone. Well, a funny thing happened on the way to the Mensa meeting for Prez #44...the American people woke up.
Tonight, a Republican, let me say that again...A REPUBLICAN won the open Senate seat vacated when Kennedy died of cancer last year. Now, I'm sad when anyone dies, especially of a cruel disease like cancer. But, the irony of it being Ted Kennedy's seat being claimed by a Republican in the bluest state in the nation! To presumably stop the Health Care Take Over that was THE signature issue of the Obama Administration?!
Sweet biscuits of Heaven and holy rattlesnakes!! Could this be really happening!?!?!
Well, it did! As of 9:28pm Central Time, Brown was winning 52% to 47% and almost 50% of the state voted. That is as big of an upset and/or statement that can be made in an off year election. Read the tea leaves, folks. There ain't enough Republican voters in Massachusetts to give Brown that win...these are Democrats voting against the Democrat!
Or more accurately, Democrats voting against the Health Care Bill. They knew what was at stake, the incredibly important Senate seat that moves the Dems to 59 seats...no Super Majority! Filibusters are now alive and well!
Now, who knows tonight how that cranky, stinky, scary Bela Pelosi is going to react and what shenannigans she and Harry 'He's a good looking Negro' Reid are going to pull to try to Rahm that bill through anyway, but tonight that's not the most important issue.
What is important is Americans, DEMOCRAT Americans, just put their foot down and told Obama and the Dems they've had enough and they ain't taking it anymore!
Do you really think Democrats in more moderate, light blue or purple regions are now going to vote FOR that Health Care travesty, after it just cost the Democrats Ted Kennedy's seat in Massachussettes? I think many of them tonight are pouring their Kool Aid out on the ground right about now, and looking for the next station so they can get off Obama's crazy train because the conductors are insane!
Over the next few weeks, we'll see how this nuclear bombshell effects the Dems, the GOP, the lying weasels in the drive by media, but for tonight...for tonight, we just witnessed America doing one of those things that makes it such a great nation, the greatest nation! It just booted a corrupt political machine in the butt and shut it down!
If this can happen, ANYTHING can happen! Even getting a moose shooting, fish gutting, Bible reading hottie for President in 2012!
I love this country!
