The fallout from this election will lead to 2 possible paths which will become
visible here in the US and likely as not, starting tomorrow.
These paths are:
1. The democratic congress will take this election for what it is, a referendum
by the electorate from one of the historically most staunchly democratic
stronghold states in all of the US on the democratic congresses direction and
tactics one year after Obama was put into office, take a step back and say
"You know guys, if we keep on our current tack we're gonna likely get
slaughtered in November. If we slow down, take a more genuine attempt at
listening to what people are saying nationally we'll have at least some chance
at keeping our congressional seats after the election.
2. They will instead do their best to stonewall Browns installment into the
Senate and put their collective feet on the floor, knowing full well they will
be sacrificed for their choices but choose to head forward at a breakneck pace
to ram through the healthcare bill, cap and trade and amnesty for the illegals
before they get the boot in November.
I'm goin with the idea they'll choose #2, though I'd really like to be wrong on
this one
jgoins Report This Comment Date: January 20, 2010 12:05PM
I agree with you, I think they will choose 2 as well. They will try to push
through as much as they can over the next few months. They will be trying to
get as much for themselves as they can while they are still in office and do as
much damage as they can before they leave. I only hope that this trend will
continue through November and remove everyone who is in office right now
regardless of party affiliation. Even remove the republicans who are in office
now. This will send the right message that the people are tired of the same old
politics and are willing to do a clean sweep to tell them. Only a clean sweep
will send the message to all of them. If we leave the republicans in office
they will see it as support for their party line and will continue along those
lines. They have to be shown that we want a complete change and no more party
politics.

Here's some interesting snipets I came across this morning :
The Wise Sayings of Master Barack: "We can't
win them all." --Barack Obama (Memo to Obama: Please keep campaigning for
other Democrats.)
Yes please, you've been so effective at helping lose
elections, by all means please continue to stump for your buddies at every
opportunity 
No change here: "Regardless of the size of their minority caucus, Senate
Republicans have always had an obligation to join us in governing our nation
through these difficult times. [Tuesday's] election doesn't change that. In fact
it is now more important than before for Republicans to work with us rather than
against us if we are to find common ground that improves Americans' lives."
--Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), himself in election trouble, on how
Republicans should now shut up and help pass health care "reform"
An interesting take on the situation but, doesn't it
also mean the liberals have a responsibility to work with the minority party and
.... at least TRY to listen to what the public that elected them is seemingly
trying to desperately to say 
What states' rights? "Massachusetts has health care and so the rest of the
country would like to have that too. So we don't [think] a state that already
has health care should determine whether the rest of the country should."
--House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), telling voters what's good for them
Since the elephant in the room is obviously
healthcare and the clear message everyone else is hearing is that Browns
election was part of a national outcry by the electorate (and in this case an
electorate that even 1 month ago considered the Democratic candidate as a shoe
in) who already has implemented state wide mandated healthcare that their
election results show dissatisfaction with the system and they are attempting to
relate their systems shortcomings before a similar system is shoved onto the
American people 
Pot and kettle: "You know how politics is. At times like this, there are
always some who are eager to exploit that pain and anger to score a few
political points. There are always folks who think that the best way to solve
these problems are to demonize others. And, unfortunately, we're seeing some of
that politics in Massachusetts today." --Barack Obama.
Another take on this might be that some politicians
will always use their power and those of their mouthpieces to deride all
opposition to their agendas by leveling charges of racism, having a total lack
of a social conscience, being nut jobs, uneducated, misinformed instead of
instead choosing to enter into meaningful debate with their opponents that could
offer an opportunity to move forward instead
Speaking of blaming Bush: "One thing the Democrats have done wrong? We
haven't kept the focus on this disaster on the Republicans who brought it upon
us. We've tried too hard to do that right thing, and that's to fix it, as
opposed to spend more of our time and energy pointing the finger at who got us
[here] in the first place." --Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI)
Seems as if this administration has attempted at
every opportunity to lay blame elsewhere and even after the failed
"stimulus" debacle it voted into passage (without congresspeople even
reading what was in it!), continuing increases in unemployment, a failed
international policy on making peace globally with those Big O claimed just
needed to see a "different America", Big O still continues to carp on
endlessly about this shit, attempts to shove national healthcare down our
throats instead of actually attempting to do the truly positive things we need
to get our country back on its collective feet industrially and right the
sinking ship of our struggling economy
Tough luck: "Health care was the cause of my friend Ted Kennedy's life. So
it sickens me that the Republican running to take Ted's place is vowing to be
the 41st vote to kill health care reform." --Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT)
Seems the message your voters were very obviously
trying to send you hasn't been heard yet. They don't care that it was Kennedys
dream, it obviously wasn't theirs, and in turn, it wasn't his to pursue if the
electorate he was supposed to be supporting didn't agree with him 
From the crystal ball: "Let's remove all doubt: We will [take over] health
care one way or another." --Nancy Pelosi
It's time to pull out the earplugs Nancy. The
message is we don't want your vision of national healthcare fraught with
convoluted back door dealings, concessions to everyone BUT the American people
who will be expected to abide and PAY for it while every day the list of groups
who WON'T have to bite the bullet just keeps gettin longer and longer
World's smallest violin: "You know, folks ask me sometimes why I look so
calm. I have a confession to make. There are times when I'm not so calm. ...
There are times when progress seems too slow. There are times when the words
that are spoken about me hurt. There are times when the barbs sting. There are
times when it feels like all these efforts are for naught. Change is so
painfully slow in coming. And I have to confront my own doubts." --Barack
Obama
Really? Coming from the biggest narcissist to ever
hold the office of president that's quite a statement. Should you choose to in
future attempt to listen to the American people you might find us a bit gentler
on you. It's your choice one way or the other but don't blame us for the result
if you choose to continue on your current path 
Ditto: "We're all pretty unpopular. Why? Because people don't feel good,
and we're the leaders and we're in office, and they expect us to do something
about it." --House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD)
I don't suppose that unpopularity could be based on
the fact that the liberals are doing their dead level best to ram a long list of
liberalized agenda items donw the throats of Americans who just simply don't
agree with them now could it 
Unhinged: "It's that rare election where voters know exactly what they're
voting on. If they're with Democrat Martha Coakley they get health care reform.
If they go for Republican Scott Brown it's deliberate, premeditated murder for
health care!" --MSNBC's Chris Matthews
Great "back handed" comment on your
opinion of the electorate in Mass. equating their dissent with national
healtcare while also in the same sentence equating them with murderers for
holding that opinion 
Despicable: "I wanted to apologize for calling Senator-elect Scott Brown an
'irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, tea bagging,
supporter of violence against women and against politicians with whom he
disagrees.' I'm sorry, I left out the word 'sexist.'" --MSNBC's Keith
Olbermann
This from a "newsperson" who calls
conservatives rabid wack jobs ... Hmmmm 
Predictions: "It's just going to get a lot uglier in Washington."
--CBS News political analyst John Dickerson
That all depends on how things move forward from
this point, the ball's in the liberals court 
Blame game: "While Coakley is a solid Democrat, she had never really worked
directly with Kennedy on anything, according to a former Kennedy aide, so she
didn't have the appellation of 'a Kennedy person,' which would have opened the
door to a lot more resources earlier in the race." --Newsweek's Eleanor
Clift with a strange explanation on Tuesday's election
Seems the concept that perhaps she was forwarding an
agenda her electorate disagreed with must've flown right over your head there
Eleanor. These folks are dangerous as hell as they seemingly are content with
eating their own instead of reading the handwriting on the wall 
Cheat to win: "I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts, I'd try to
vote 10 times. I don't know if they'd let me or not, but I'd try to. Yeah,
that's right, I'd cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. 'Cause that's
exactly what they are." --MSNBC's radio talk-show host Ed Schultz
More of the lack of "fair and balanced"
reporting from an MSNBC Obamaite mouthpiece who still calls anyone in dissent
with Big Os policies a wack job. Kinda leads on to wonder if he actually ever
hears the stuff that comes out of his own mouth, much less thinks about what
he's said 
Time to worry: "You have top Democrats like Barney Frank of Massachusetts
who said flatly if Martha Coakley, the Democrat, loses, health care is dead. So
what kind of planning is the White House doing right now for backup? What's
their Plan B?" --ABC's George Stephanopoulos
Only time will tell but my guess we won't have long
to wait to find out 
"[It would be] a tragedy of Greek proportions if Ted Kennedy's successor
... is the one who was responsible for the death of health care." --PBS's
Judy Woodruff
Perhaps the irony is that now that he's no longer in
office the people of Mass. might actually have representation of their positions
and opinions instead of his socialized agenda. Actual representation of the
electorate, what a concept
"The stimulus was too small; policy toward the banks wasn't tough enough;
and Mr. Obama didn't do what Ronald Reagan, who also faced a poor economy early
in his administration, did -- namely, shelter himself from criticism with a
narrative that placed the blame on previous administrations." --New York
Times columnist Paul Krugman
Sorry but disinforamation can only be stretched so
far. Reagan chose NOT to whip out the Blame Card at every turn and instead
chose to further policies that lead to a rallying of the American economy that
actually worked ... without mortaging the country to the Chinese in the process,
nationalizing the banks, 2 of the largest automakers on the planet, or placing
hordes or socialist agenda driven "czars" at the helm of undermining
the countries economy, industrial base and trying to tax and spend his way out
of a recession

Not only is Coakley not fit to be in the Senate, even Kennedy's seat, that
fucking cunt should be in prison for what she did to Gerald Amirault.

How many women had

It's the same number of women that Fossil has slept with in the last year.
NONE !
Had Scott Brown lost now that would have been Epic.

The best thing that could happen to America, at this point, would be for space
aliens to come down and abduct the entire Congress in one fell swoop. Second
best would be for a solidly Republican Congress and a Democrat president to be
hopelessly gridlocked for the next seven years, unable to agree on anything more
substantial than resolutions in honor of famous dead people and National Marmot
Appreciation Day.
