Obama: Massachusetts, agenda on line

"a crowd of about 1,500" - I guess BO doesn't pull them in like he used. People aren't liking the change they are seeing.

"It's whether we're going forwards or going backwards." - Vote for Martha and we get to keep going backwards.

"and as much progress as we've made" - It's hard work getting unemployment to 10%.

"Martha's going to make sure you get your money back" - and then we will tax it from you when the income tax cut ($15/wk signed in 2009 as part of the Stimulus) ends at the end of this year. Plus all the other taxes on health insurance, taxes on job creators, etc...

"Martha's going to make sure you get your money back."
~president panty waist~

This is unbelievable...this is how you have to lower yourself to get democrats fired up to go out and vote?
This idiot just blew over 1.2 Trillion Dollars on Nothing and he rages against Wall Street and big business, the ones that produce jobs.
There's always a straw man or an enemy in one of panty waist's speeches.
Just sickening...

To what lengths will the left go to keep this democratic -

Never knew Ed the Idiot worked for ACORN or had ties to Chicago.

I donated. . .anything helps going backward.

Brown had one too......did he have clothes on?

If Brown does win and the Dems pull some tomfoolery to keep him from the Senate or change the rules (again), it will be just another nail in their collective coffin come November.

Brown was never questioned by a Grand Jury for shooting sea-man on a blue dress, like... you know who.

And, Brown didn't conceive a child while on the campaign trail, like ...you know who.

Coakley vs. Brown: Updates

What?? Me worry??

Complacent Martha or is it Marcia: Somehow, it doesn’t seem that Massachusetts A.G. is awfully worried about her Tuesday match-up with State Sen. Scott Brown for “the Kennedy seat” in the United States Senate.

For one thing, she’s staged a lackluster, non-campaign as if she knew from the start she would end up a loser even though, at the start, she seemed a shoo-in to head to D.C. to be that crucial 60th vote for Obamacare. (That assumes Harry Reid doesn’t pull an end run and goes to the reconciliation ploy needing only 51 Democrats to foist that obamanation on the American people.)

For another thing, Martha Coakley really seems as if she doesn’t want the job.

As Brian McGrory writes for Boston.com in an article titled, “Race Is in a Spinout,” despite her claims to have traveled the state meeting tremendous people, “If she did, it was under the cover of darkness, with an assumed name . . . Literally, she all but vanished. She refused to debate on TV unless it was exactly on her terms. She went days without venturing out in public:” http://bit.ly/8qLU4S

Not exactly the best way to win a seat in the Senate.

A Kennedy Weighs In: A scion of the Kennedy clan doesn’t seem too worried either, not even concerned enough to get her name straight.

Speaking to reporters after President Obama tried to rally the troops and dragging out the worn-out Bush card to blame GWB for every problem in the universe, Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D. R.I) repeatedly referred to “Marcia Coakley,” . . .

Hey Ed, what do you call someone that encourages voter fraud?

A ward of the State, penitentiary that is. Maybe we get a two for one: Brown as Senator and Ed Schultz in jail.

Obama, stay in Washington! Don't you have more important things to concentrate on?

This guy Brown, running for the Senate in Mass. is the same idiot that suggested that President Obama was born illegitimately. He is a spawn of the "Birthers". Are the Republican-Libertarians that hard up, that they will search the dregs of their candidate pool for the likes of another Incompetent, another Bush&Cheney? God help America, if this idiot wins !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Massachusetts (or as Coakley spelled it in a campaign ad, "Massachusettes") is perhaps the most Democratic state in the nation. If the Dems can't win here, they can't win anywhere.

Thank you, President Obama.

We'll take anyone who can win! The party of family "values" is now the party of "family jewels" value.

Wonder how many lies Obama made in his speech, quite sure he didn't tell the audience he favors the union over the taxpayer with a special break on Obamacare.

Why Paulo.....I just get a kick out of the fact the family values party and you have no problem with naked guys. Are we coming out of the closet?

This race shows that voters need to shed their party labels and vote instead for the best candidate regardless of political affiliation. Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, we need badly to dismiss demonstrably poor candidates and office holders at every level and restore competence to government. We simply cannot stand idly by on meaningless party labels and let this country, our state, our county and our city drift downward to chaos and insolvency.

I hope the TeaBaggers can fit into private helicopters so they can vote. Othewise they'd have to drive on our Socialist streets. Darned public roadways paid for by pure Communist fantasy.

Never underestimate the ability of the GOP to do the wrong thing, or their inability to find decent candidates:

Former democrat,

That extra ‘e’ in the MA spelling was added, I’m sure, to give the great Commonwealth of MA a French flavor. The missing apostrophe on the ‘e’ is the oversight. This is how democrats add value.

Hawthorne,

I feel ya on this political party business. I have had the same thoughts. Too many times, in TX, a Republican will be elected but you only get a self-serving RINO. Occasionally, in TX, a democrat will be elected, and you actually get a light weight Republican, but it is indeed rare.

The real risk is that if enough democrats are elected, or installed, you will find yourself having to co-exist with a Mao-quoting, Castro-loving, Che-Lenin-Stalin inspired Marxist. The laws of probability alone will virtually guarantee that.

This kind of outcome is most unfavorable. It's like driving a 2010 vehicle, on credit, as you also continue to pay down the 1964 model.

.".same product, different package.." describes the teabagger candidates.
They are trying to put as much distance as humanly possibly between who and what they really represent and the failed policies of the Bush-Cheney era, which ruined the GOP and the economy. Now they're back, wrapped in patriotism and calling themselves patriots and teabaggers but there is no difference.
Birthers, deathers, screamers, bigots;the party of no wants control, again.

It's not surprising that the Wingnut stooges on here were hoping that this race would stay under the radar. Scotty Brown is a far right wing knuckle-dragger who is trying (and failing) to pass himself off as a moderate.

THE BOSTON GLOBE DETAILS MORE LIES FROM REPUBLICAN SCOTT BROWN!

Yvonne Abraham details the Republican response to the anti-emergency contraception amendment:
*

"I don’t know what’s worse: that Scott Brown tried to weaken a law guaranteeing emergency contraception to rape victims, or that he now claims he can’t remember doing it. Or maybe it’s that, now that he’s running for US Senate, he’s dragging his daughters into the controversy to protect himself."

"I can’t believe what we’re doing to this bill," said then-minority leader Brian Lees, who called it, "a poison pill amendment. . . . I can’t believe that you’re going to say [this] to your constituents who’ve been through a traumatic experience."

"Senator Richard Tisei said: "I can’t recall another instance where we’ve basically said, ‘This is the law, and it’s OK not to follow it.’ . . . It doesn’t make any sense."

"Now, you’d think a state senator would remember being publicly reamed by members of his own party, right? Or recall his own shaky defense of his proposal, which he said he put forward "just for conversation." Nope. On Tuesday night, When Janet Wu of WCVB-TV asked him if he’d sponsored the amendment, Brown said: "I have to check. I don’t know. It was so long ago."
.

Give Brown points for taking enough of a break from hiding behind his daughters to say that much, I guess, but it would help if it had been anything other than an obvious lie to cover for pushing unpardonable legislation just 5 years ago.

GOPer Scott Brown Running A Misleading Campaign!

Joan Vennochi of the Boston Globe:

"Brown is allegedly for health care reform, except he doesn’t support the historic health care reform legislation that is on the brink of passage in Washington and was Kennedy’s life quest."

"Brown supports Roe v. Wade, except that a prominent anti-abortion advocacy group backs him as a "pro-life vote in the Senate."

"Brown dispatched his 21-year old daughter to attack Coakley for stating the truth: In 2005, Brown sponsored a legislative amendment that would have allowed medical personnel to deny emergency contraception to rape victims if it "conflicts with a sincerely held religious belief." The amendment didn’t pass, but Brown owned it. It was attached to a bill that he ultimately voted for, which required emergency rooms to provide contraceptives to rape victims. "

More Bad News For Far Right Wing Nutjob Scott Brown!

The Boston Globe Endorses Martha Coakley!

Voters who want to cast a critical eye on Washington without destroying the Democratic coalition should go for Coakley. Her quiet diligence in pursuing some of the most thankless, but deeply important, tasks in prosecuting child abusers, scouring the fine print of Big Dig contracts to bring back hundreds of millions of dollars, and securing $60 million from Goldman Sachs for its subprime mortgage abuses, contrasts sharply with Brown's five-year record of voting no in a state Senate run by the opposite party.

"She is by far the more qualified candidate, in experience and judgment. She has prosecuted hundreds of criminals and helped coordinate plans to protect the state from terrorist threats. As attorney general, she's returned $1 billion to state coffers."
.
http://www.boston.com/news/politics/2008/articles/2010/01/13/globe_endorsement_martha_coakley_for_senate/
.

And they make the case against Brown:

"A vote for Brown is hardly a symbolic protest against congressional gridlock and the ways of Washington. It's a vote for gridlock, in the form of endless Republican filibusters, and for the status quo in health care, climate change, and financial regulation. That's what will happen if Brown gives the Republicans the additional vote they need to tie up the Senate."

Anti American Teabagger Scott Brown Voted Against Giving Aid To 9/11 Recovery Workers!

One month after the September 11th attacks, Scott Brown was one of only three Massachusetts State Representatives to vote against a bill to provide financial assistance to Red Cross workers who had volunteered with 9/11 recovery efforts, we’ve learned.
.
http://theplumline.whorunsgov.com/senate-republicans/scott-brown-voted-against-giving-help-to-911-recovery-workers/

So why did Brown vote against 9/11 workers?

The Brown campaign acknowledged the vote to us, claiming the measure would have taxed already-strained state finances.
.
http://theplumline.whorunsgov.com/senate-republicans/scott-brown-voted-against-giving-help-to-911-recovery-workers/

So in the aftermath of worst terror attack in American history, crazy teabagger simpleton Scott Brown put his far right-wing vision of fiscal austerity ahead of helping the nation's recovery efforts. That's pretty much the definition of radical conservativism -- and it reflects the exact opposite of the values that Ted Kennedy fought for his entire life.

I'm going to love listening to all of the sour sounding Wingnutters cryng in their beer about crazy crap like ACORN and Black FEMA Helicopters etc after they lose this race.

Naked Scotty Brown isn't going to win, mark my words. I don't care how much the nutbags on Planet Wingnuttia want it to happen.

Wow! This is almost to easy.....

GOPer Teabagger Scott Brown IS A TAX CHEAT!

It is an entirely inappropriate avoidance of responsibility by Brown to stiff the gov't on payroll taxes and unemployment compensation contributions. Anyone who has ever employed others knows that there are specific requirements to be considered an independent contractor. With the exception of a contracted consultant, it is very unlikely that anyone other than the highest level staff members would qualify. This isn't about health insurance. It's about tax evasion.

Mass law is one of the TOUGHEST in the country against the practice of misclassifying employees as contractors, far tougher than the federal government . There's no question in my mind that if all of the staffers are being treated as contractors that they are breaking the law.

Obama: I saved or created 250,000 votes for Coakley.

In a flurry of activity on Sunday in advance of the special election for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, one of the uglier stories was an audible shout from the audience at a Scott Brown rally in West Springfield. As Brown was working his way through his stump speech, a voice in the crowd can be heard shouting:
.
"STICK A CURLING IRON UP HER BUTT!"

Late Sunday night, a video of the encounter popped up, and Scott Brown's response is worth examining:
.
http://hotlineoncall.nationaljournal.com/archives/2010/01/brown_appears_t.php
.

There is no question that Brown hears the remark, and there is little doubt as to whether or not he smiled at the mark. He then appears to launch back into his stump speech, although what he says is a little tough to make out.

Brown's lack of a response to the rhetoric put on display in that incident (beyond, perhaps, smirking at it) is the kind of thing that female voters, in particular, are unlikely to appreciate.

Brown wouldn't do classless crap like this if he thought he was going to win.

If Marcia Coakley wins Tuesday, it will because the leftists fixed the vote.

Oh, the Boston Globe, a subsidiary of the New York Times, supports the leftist candidate - THAT is a surprise???

Someone has got to put a stop to the idiotic "Health Care" push. Everyone pays taxes for how many years before they get any benefits? Not everyone - union workers are exempt from the tax! Too bad Illinois didn't get the Nebraska break, instead Illinoisans must pay more because of it.

Yes, that "Health Care" bill is something great for this country. The American public is just too stupid to know what is good for them.

Maybe we can vote out Durbin in his next election, too!

The teabaggers hate to admit that they are operatives of the GOP and will deny this and claim that they're libertarians or independents but not r-cons.
" Oh No " they say but action speaks louder than words...

Anyone who takes issue with their beliefs are liberals or leftists or socialists. They believe that they are on a mission from God to save America from anyone unlike themselves. I ask them simply this: where were you since NAFTA ? or when the shrub and darth were in charge ? They get very angry when confronted with factual information. There people scare me because they wrapt themselves in nationalism, just like the nazi party did in Germany and wage war against other citizens.

I can agree with some of the teabag principles but not the participants.

BillyR,

"Brown had one too......did he have clothes on" - This is his moral disgrace as compared to the Senator he is replacing who killed a woman. Posing nude vs. Manslaughter?

The party of family "values" is now the party of "family jewels" value. - The party of "family values" vs. the party of "no values". Aim low, you'll hit your target everytime.

Teaparty?,

"I hope the TeaBaggers can fit into private helicopters so they can vote. Othewise they'd have to drive on our Socialist streets". Do you socialist drive cars made by capitalists on those streets?

GRAB AND CHAIR TOMORROW NIGHT, EVERYONE, THIS ONE'S GOING TO BE FUN FUN FUN!!!! THE END OF NOBAMUNISM AND ONLY A YEAR INTO IT!!!! HAWWWW!

Even the Kennedy clan can't get her name right. And for a change, the Kennedy speaking was sober (I think).

You leftist wackos can't run a government, because you don't have any common belief system, other than to hate BUSH AND CHENEY.

YOU had a majority in the Congress, and your marxist leaders are destroying the country. You have absolutely no clue how to run an economy, because you don't believe in economics. Money just comes from "rich people." You demonize the idea of trickle down, when it is insane to consider that an economy can create jobs without someone making money and hiring people in order to run a business. Do you think that people on public assistance are going to be your next employer?

If you don't have any economic sense, leave the job to people that understand it, or educate yourself. It might make you not sound so STUPID.

Brown's comment came up in in an interview attempting to slam Palin for her daughters "sin" of having a child out of wedlock where Brown expressed that he didn't know if Obama's parents were married when he was born. Thats not slanderous- Brown clearly never found the time to read "the ones" ghost written ego tri.. I mean autobiography. Believe it or not bill- many people have limited interest in Obama's personal journey... ignorance of Obama's glorious childhood does nothing to disqualify Brown, nor does it out him anywhere close to the low politics of Obama or Coakley. ( whose campaign dragged up the clip to begin with)

BillyR,

Heartburn summed it very well.

Would that be as low as Schumer saying that the Brown was a teabagger?
