Oh my God Scott Brown voted against us once!

The world has ended, whatever shall we do, dig up Ted Kennedy and put him back in the seat, send Coakley up here, let loose the hounds of hell etc etc etc…

Let’s be blunt, against the worst candidate of any type I’ve ever seen, who had promised to advance a health care plan that even democrats that I talked to couldn’t stand he managed to get 52% of the vote. What do you think is going to happen in a general election against an effective candidate with a solid record and a bunch of other democrats on the ballot all needed to get themselves elected and/or re-elected?

Remember Mr. Brown is up for re-election in only two years. From everything that people I talked to said this type of vote will make a huge difference to them.

I’m figuring we will get him about 70-75% of the time, perhaps if we are lucky even 85%, if we can do that I’ll be satisfied, at least for now.

I think Massachusetts has the potential to change for the better this is not the last step but the first one, give us some time and amazing thing might happen all over the state.

The most dangerous thing to give your foes is hope…

…as the democratic party is now discovering:

“People are coming out of the woodwork saying, ‘We’ve been Republicans in hiding and now we want to be out and help,’ ” said Jeffrey Hopkins, chairman of the City Republican Committee in the old Democratic union stronghold of Fall River.

It’s like the fall of communism, once people lose their fear they will suddenly shout out what they think:

In the past, he said, “You tend not to talk about your political beliefs very much. You won’t find anyone who agrees with you and you end up getting into fights.” But now, “That’s changing.”


However it hasn’t changed everywhere:

One Provincetown businesswoman and closet Republican said she’d like someone to organize a town GOP group, but she’s not sure it will happen.

She didn’t want her name used out of fear she’d lose customers. “Everybody has to have the courage of their convictions,” she said, “but I’m worried about my business.”

It remains to seen what is going to be the result. How will our democratic friends react? Have they learned anything, will republicans overreach?

It will be fun to find out.

Women who make the world worse: Amazon Review

My 2006 review of Kate O’Bernie’s book Women Who Make the World Worse: and How Their Radical Feminist Assault Is Ruining Our Schools, Families, Military, and Sports is available at Amazon.com here.

My initial review of this book was edited down by Amazon. I’ve made a tweak or two and re-saved it.

A lot of books like this drop in price after release, this one is available for only $2.51! For that price you should be able to buy a couple of copies and give one to a friend or a local school. I loaned out my copy to Annie DiMartino and never got it back so maybe I’ll pick up another one here.
