Martha Coakley

The Midas Touch. Very few people have it. Off the top of my head I think of: Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, and Phil Jackson. Wherever they go, and whatever they do, they succeed. Most people don’t. The first person I think of: Barack Obama. Following his meteoric climb to the presidency he has become political poison to nearly everything he has come into contact with.

The “Obama Touch” begain with the New Jersey Gubernatorial race. The President campaigned heavily for the Democratic incumbent John Corzine in a state that should have been a lock regardless of his cameo.  A deep-pocketed incumbent in a blue state that Obama won by 16% up against an underfunded Republican who didn’t even run a great campaign. But five appearances and a slew of quotes like “[Corzine] is one of the best partners I have in the White House” later, Democrats had lost the governor’s mansion.

Same story, same result in Massachusetts where Martha Coakley fell from a 17% lead in the polls to be defeated by an upstart Republican candidate. Obama was there as well, campaigning for Coakley when the race was a statistical dead heat, hoping his popularity would save the day in the land of Kennedy’s. It didn’t. By the time Obama left, Scott Brown had established a firm 9% lead over the Democrat.

He called the 19-0 Kentucky basketball team to congratulate them on their “Hoops for Haiti” program. They promptly lost. He made countless speeches and appearances to spread the word about health care reform. It’s looking more dead by the day. He wanted to pass a comprehensive energy and environmental reform bill. Then came “Climategate” and an ongoing investigation into the science of global warming. Tough year.

A new Gallup poll shows the depth of the Obama Touch,

Obama’s lowest job approval ratings come in the areas of healthcare policy, the economy, and the federal budget deficit, which coincidentally are the three issues he has devoted the most face-time to. To some degree, this is exactly as you would expect it. The President can be seen as devoting his popularity in an attempt to rally support for unpopular portions of his agenda. It wouldn’t make sense for him to expend all of his political capital to hammer home issues that people already agree with. But this would overlook a key point behind these latest poll numbers – almost all of them represent Obama’s lowest popularity on the issue since he became President.

The more he tries to sell health care, the more people refuse to buy into it:

The more he says he’s going to work to fix the economy, the less people believe him:

What the President and Congressional Democrats must understand is that it’s nothing personal. Although it certainly cannot be said that he has the Midas Touch, it is not Obama’s mere association that is dragging candidates and policies into the abyss. It’s that Obama’s attempts to emphasize an issue are acting to highlight the flaws in the Democrats plans. People learned that although health care reform sounds great, any attempt that fails to bend the cost-curve is kinda pointless. People figured out that Obama’s plan to fix the economy, well…wait, what is Obama’s plan to fix the economy?

The Obama Touch, anything he touches suffers an immediate drop in approval ratings. But it’s a curable disease. Step 1: under-promise and over-deliver. Step 2: consult with Republicans – they have ideas that will surprise you. Step 3: align your policy goals with the public – i.e. GET MOVING ON THE ECONOMY!

Both sides have spun their versions of what Scott Brown’s decisive upset of Martha Coakley means in political terms.  Conservatives cheer the end of the Democrat supermajority in the Senate, Democrats from the President on down characterize the victory of the Republican in true-blue Massachusetts as a symptom of Bush fatigue.  But there are some interesting symbolic factors which may be significant for this election year. First is the widely-discussed pickup truck, a GMC Canyon with 200,000 miles that was Scott Brown’s executive ride.  The mere fact that Brown has put 200,000 miles on the vehicle shows that whenever it was new, it was not acquired as a conscious political symbol.  Nonetheless, it is. Trusty trucks with two hundred grand on the odometers are the transportation of choice for middle class working people.  They are driven by Americans with mortgages to pay, groceries to buy, and private sector work to do.  As Scott Brown has shown, people like this actually live in Massachusetts, much to the surprise of the Democrats in Congress.  He is not just “in touch” with the middle class, he is one of them.  He knows what they value, where they work, how the live, and how much they’re upset by the Democrats and their drive for nationalized health care. Brown’s truck is a product of General Motors, a company that once dominated the American market.  Barack Obama, during a last-minute campaign stop in Massachusetts before the election, mentioned Brown’s truck often, exhorting voters to pay no attention to the it.  “Anybody can buy a truck,” he famously concluded, to cheers from his supporters and derision from his opponents.  In fact, since Barack Obama’s administration took billions of taxpayer dollars to buy a controlling chunk of General Motors stock last year, it’s not that “anybody can buy a truck.”  The truth is, “Everybody has bought a truck.”  Theoretically, all Americans own small portions of General Motors trucks, thanks to Obama’s government takeover of private industry.  This symbol was not lost on Massachusetts voters. Another symbol dismissed by the MSM is Scott Brown’s military service.  Brown served thirty years in the Massachusetts National Guard.  He has the rank of lieutenant colonel, and serves as the 26th Brigade’s Staff Judge Advocate General.  He has experience as an infantry officer and quartermaster officer, is jump qualified, and earned the Army Commendation Medal.  All of that requires the dedication and selflessness that characterizes Americans in military service.  Brown’s military record was not a focus of his campaign, but it does reveal character. Pollsters have told us that Americans are rejecting the liberal agenda of the Democrats, but that doesn’t mean they are rushing back to embrace Republicans.  Americans have been burned by both parties.  They are searching for leaders they can believe in.  The same pollsters tell us that while the President’s approval is below 50%, and Congress’ approval is about half that, Americans rate our military as the most highly trusted and regarded of our institutions.   All Senators and congressmen and presidents take an oath to support and defend the Constitution.  So does every American who serves in uniform.  The difference is that our troops back up their oath with their lives.  This fall, there are over two dozen congressional seats where candidates with proud military records are in contention.  If American voters are looking for people they can trust and believe in, they may find a record of military service very convincing. The last symbol is Scott Brown’s bullhorn.  While the President, who has given over 400 interviews and over a hundred press appearances–more than any other president in the first year of an administration–bemoans the fact that he hasn’t spoken directly to the American people, Scott Brown did exactly that.  He stood up in the bed of his pickup truck, and spoke to the crowds without handlers, without teleprompters, without elaborate Greek revival backdrops.  He took his plain-spoken case directly to the voters, and they liked what he said.  A bullhorn may sound like an impersonal communication device, but it spoke louder and more convincingly than Coakley and her powerful surrogates. It also reminded me of the bullhorn George W. Bush used when he stood on the pile of rubble that was once the World Trade Center after September 11th, 2001.  The President had borrowed the bullhorn from a veteran firefighter who had spent countless hours digging through the debris in a search for survivors, to commend the crowd of volunteers who were doing the same thing.  Someone in the crowd yelled, “I can’t hear you.”  Bush replied, “I can hear you.  The world can hear you.  And the people who knocked down these buildings will hear from all of us soon.”   That’s how to talk directly to the people.

An instant explanation has been advanced by the Left to explain away the beat-down they received in Massachusetts Tuesday.

Well, what do you expect? Martha Coakley was simply a bad candidate

I'm not going to pretend Coakley did a stellar job. Indeed, the last week of her campaign was so full of bizarre gaffes as to wonder if this was Joe Biden after doing really, really bad peyote. But, we are talking about a 100,000 vote clock cleaning.  Prior to Martha deciding to turn her footwear into snack food something had gone wrong for the Democrats in Massachusetts.

The prominent polling firm, Public Opinion Strategies, offered this take on the Coakley collapse.

It’s not all her fault.  It’s the policies she supported that were more to blame.  She won the Democratic primary trouncing her opponents and was clearly the best candidate the party had to offer in the state.  She’d won statewide in convincing fashion.  She was a proven quantity.  And, yet this race wasn’t even close.

After watching Creigh Deeds, Jon Corzine and now Martha Coakley go down in flames, do you really think that the one thing they had in common was that they were below average candidates running sub-par campaigns?

The question I have is: when exactly did Creigh Deeds, Jon Corzine and Martha Coakley become "bad candidates"?

Certaintly not in the primaries. Deeds clobbered two better funded rivals (Terry McAulliffe and Brian Moran) in the VA primary.   Deeds had also faced Bob McDonnell before, and barely lost the 2005 AG race. He then lost to the same opponent for Governor in 2009 and the margin of defeat expanded by a factor of 1000.

 In New Jersey, Jon Corzine hardly broke a sweat dispatching his primary opponents. And while NJ Democrats may have considered swapping him out for Corey Booker, Richard Codey or Frank Pallone, in the end the completely venal NJ Democrats thought Corzine gave them their best chance of victory.

Now Martha Coakley. She was elected Attorney General in 2006 with 73% of the vote. In the Senate race ,she defeated a field of Democratic opponents --including a popular House member and a free spending businessman--convincingly.  

She entered 2010 with a million dollars cash-on-hand and an apparent wide lead in the polls.  So what happened to suddenly make her a "bad candidate"?

Seems the common denominator here is contact with the general electorate, now doesn't it?.

Once the calendar turned to 2010 and Martha Coakley couldn't fall back on the standard liberal bromides, well, she fell apart.  Perhaps she never expected  to be pressed in dark blue MA. But what part of the political environment this year won't inflict this damage on any Democrat whom the Republicans press hard?  

David Plouffe better have the "bad candidate" excuse on his favorites list this cycle. He'll need it. 

One final note. In all three epic losses the Democrats have pursued a strategy of victory by disqualification.  In Virginia, an ancient thesis was supposed to make McDonnell unpalatable; in New Jersey, the Corzine camp sought tp turn the election into a referendum on mammograms, and last week Coakley's thin straw was to allege Scott Brown hated rape victims.

I think even Ray Charles could see a pattern here.

Sure I know the argument about " well, we had to try and win ugly".  Message to Democrats: voters have noticed who's getting ugly. Perhaps that's why the results for your party have been...hmmmm, ugly.

Scott Brown’s victory happened for a reason.

Massachusetts progressives were shell-shocked last Tuesday when it was announced that Martha Coakley had conceded the US Senate election to Brown. It’s been a couple of days, and it still hasn’t sunk in for them.

Progressives across the country know that Brown’s victory poses long-term problems for the left. Forget about what it portends for the 2010 midterms and the 2012 Presidential election. Brown’s win horrifies the left because he has weakened the power of progressive stereotyping.

Progressive bloggers and Democratic apparatchiks threw everything they could at Brown—and none of it stuck. He was accused of misogyny, homophobia, and obedience to George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh—and a majority of voters in the country’s bluest state failed to buy any of it.

Brown’s victory proves that the old insults don’t work anymore. If you’re a Republican candidate who focuses on real issues, your ideological adversaries will be reduced to branding you a teabagging extremist instead of developing substantive responses to your ideas. If you connect with the voters, your ideological adversaries will find themselves compelled to demonize those voters.

If Barack Obama’s 2008 victory represented the shattering of old racial barriers, Brown’s victory represents the shattering of old ideological barriers. Thanks to Brown, blue-state conservatives and Republicans can now live their lives openly, unafraid of idiotic insults and scurrilous smears.

There was a collective sigh of relief from the blue-state right on Tuesday night. For years, conservatives and Republicans in overwhelmingly Democratic states had to live their lives in fear and shame, having been convicted without trial on charges of ignorance and intolerance. They suffered in silence, realizing that they could not convince ideologically rigid progressives that they too, believed in equality, fairness and diversity, disagreeing only on the manner through which such goals should be achieved.

Now, in the wake of Brown’s victory, they can finally live in peace and freedom, acknowledging their true selves and affirming their true identities. They can finally march down the street in a parade of patriotic pride.

Brown will forever be a hero to blue-state conservatives. He embodies what conservatism actually is: upbeat, hopeful, forward-thinking, energetic. For too long, progressive activists and Democratic strategists have raised the specter of sulking, snarling, scowling Southern conservatives as a means of scaring people away from conservative and Republican ideas; they will no longer be able to get away with such attacks. Brown has demonstrated that an optimistic person from any part of the country can find merit in the right’s core philosophy.

Brown connected with the young, with suburbanites, with people who had long since checked out of politics. He had a compelling message that he delivered with skill—and he defeated Coakley by sheer force of will.

There are millions of “Scott Brown Republicans” in this country. They embrace conservatism because they recognize that the right’s core principles, when adhered to, result in true prosperity and true progress. They know that income tax reduction creates the rising tide that lifts all boats. They know that sometimes, those who defend us must go the extra mile in order to guarantee our safety.  They know that government is necessary, but its size, scope and power must always have clear limits. They know that judges who idealize the Constitution are preferable to judges who ignore it. Above all, they know that America is, was, and will always be the last, best hope of mankind.

“Scott Brown conservatism” is what this country needs, what this country wants, what this country must have. “Scott Brown conservatism” is the sort of clean conservatism that can attract rather than repel, that can heal rather than wound, that can rebuild rather than destroy. “Scott Brown conservatism” is real compassionate conservatism, as opposed to the hyped-up hooey of ten years ago.

“Scott Brown conservatism” doesn’t care who or what you are, not even what party you belong to, so long as you love the Constitution and the freedoms and principles that august document stands for. “Scott Brown conservatism” is more than just “conservatism that can win again”—heck, it already has won, and will continue to win in the future.

Scott Brown’s victory happened for a reason. “Scott Brown conservatism” exists for the reason—to renew America, to protect and preserve this country’s greatness, and to add just a little more light to the shining city on a hill.

By the end of the 2010s, we could be calling him President Scott Brown. 

The newly elected US Senator from Massachusetts ran an error-free campaign, strongly emphasizing economic and security issues and always taking the high road. His opponent, scandal-scarred Attorney General Martha Coakley, ran a vehemently negative campaign filled with disgusting lies—and she paid the price for it. 

Assuming that Brown is re-elected in 2012 (the winner of the January 19th election will complete the remaining three years of the late Ted Kennedy’s term), and also assuming that the Republican challenger to President Obama (whoever he or she may be) comes up short that year, Brown would have to be considered an odds-on favorite to become the GOP’s standard-bearer in 2016. Will he have liabilities? Of course—but his positives will outweigh those negatives by a factor of a thousand. 

Brown is a center-right figure for what conservatives often assert is a center-right nation. As a candidate for the US Senate, he tapped into the same spirit of optimism Ronald Reagan embodied on his way to winning Massachusetts in the 1980 Presidential election. He also tapped into the voters’ desire for competent leadership. 

Remember when doomed 1988 Presidential hopeful Michael Dukakis declared that his campaign was about competence, not ideology? In reality, that’s what most voters in this country are looking for. While Reagan and Barack Obama are on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum, they both achieved blowout Electoral College victories because they convinced voters that despite their policy positions, they would place effective leadership above ideological crusades.  

Brown traversed ideological barriers because of his promise to do the same. He was a true uniter on the campaign trail, attracting even committed progressives with his message of stewardship and honesty. He could do the same if he attempts to win the White House. 

Can he make it to the Oval Office? Why can’t he? The two biggest liabilities he will face involve his status as a “Northeastern Republican” and his moderately pro-choice stance on the abortion question. He should be able to overcome these obstacles. 

With regard to the “Northeastern Republican” image, it should be remembered that Brown is to the right of the last Republican to win a US Senate seat in Massachusetts, the profoundly progressive Edward Brooke. Brown may not march in lockstep with the broader Republican Party, but he certainly shares the party’s main vision with regard to economic reinvigoration and aggressive antiterrorism efforts. No one will ever confuse him with Dede Scozzafava. 

Conservative primary voters who reject Brown in 2016 because he’s from the Bay State would make a crucial mistake. Brown can explain conservative principles with vigor in his voice and hope in his heart. Few Republicans can do the same. Brown is a throwback to the days of optimistic conservatism—the only brand of conservatism that is proven to win national elections by significant margins. 

As for the abortion question, by the mid-2010s the GOP will have decided whether to accept moderately pro-choice Presidential candidates such as Brown, or to pressure them to shift their status on this issue, as George H. W. Bush did in 1980 after being selected as Reagan’s running mate. With aging Focus on the Family founder James Dobson shifting roles and few obvious successors to inherit his position as the most influential figure among social conservatives, it’s possible that the GOP could decide to effectively tell values voters that they have nowhere else to go, and that they can either get behind a moderately pro-choice Republican candidate such as Brown, or stay home on Election Day and allow a Democrat obedient to NARAL Pro-Choice America to succeed Obama and nominate federal judges who will effectively make Roe v. Wade impossible to reverse. If social conservatives choose the former path, Brown will at least give a fair and open hearing to their concerns.  

As the 2016 GOP nominee, Brown could unify the party, settling the grudges and grievances that have beset Republicans for far too long.  He could appeal to the David Limbaughs and David Frums of the party, reestablishing the conservative-centrist coalition Reagan first brought together. Brown could well become the first Republican since Reagan to win “blue” regions of the country—and make hardcore Democrats blue in the process.

If Brown makes it to the White House, we could bear witness to the true resurgence of conservatism that George W. Bush’s 2000 election promised, but was unable to deliver. If I were a devoted Democrat, this thought would surely make me quiver.

It’s a referendum on Obama and his Maoist thug administration. It’s a referendum on Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the Marxi-Maoists in our US Congress who would dare to steal our precious birthright of freedom from us. It’s a referendum on the blatant dishonesty and OUTRIGHT FRAUD that is being perpetrated by those who are supposed to serve the interests of the people and the country.

Americans, far from being the backward rubes the liberals/progressives/communists have been taking us for while they hide behind one ginned up issue after another, really get it. We know what they’ve been doing. Despite being lulled to sleep by generations of lies laminated one on top of another, a vast Conservative revival is burgeoning throughout this blessed land from coast to coast and border to border.

We also recognize our own shortcomings and mistakes of the past and are determined not to allow ourselves to be lulled into complacency, or allow our Conservative values to be diluted by false messages of ‘moderation’ and those who claim ‘expertise’ who would lead us astray from the proven principles of Conservative action. We have recent experience with a Republican party which WAS led astray from the principled exercise of Conservative governance. The end result is the nightmare we are living in the White House and in the halls of Congress today. The nightmare which has brought the country to the very brink of disaster and the looming shadows of TYRANNY.

Scott Brown Votes In Wrentham, Massachusetts.

Now we have the harbinger of the future which is going to form the substance of DeMarxist nightmares for a long time to come. An upstart, no name, no political pedigree Conservative State Senator is on the brink of waxing the floor with the anointed DeMarxist choice for the late (and unlamented) Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat, Martha Coakley. There is some karmic justice here should she lose, which it appears likely she may. This is NOT A NICE PERSON. She has gone out of her way to destroy the lives of some innocent people for blatant political gain. But that’s a story for another time.

Scott Brown put the contest in perfect context when confronted by ‘the inevitability’ of the DeMarxist’s continuing control over the Kennedy seat. He replied, “It’s not a Democrat seat, it’s not Ted Kennedy’s seat, it’s the PEOPLE’S seat”. It’s a message that has resonated not only through the state but through the entire country.

PLEASE, if you live in Massachusetts BE SURE TO VOTE, call every one you know to vote and have them call everyone they know. It may be crappy weather out there, but living under a tyranny as posed by the DeMaoists would be a lot crappier. God bless you all and GOOD LUCK SCOTT.

It’s getting tough out there. It’s getting to be so’s a self-obsessed NEO-MARXIST can’t get a word in edgewise without some pro-lifer or pesky patriot getting into your dogma. Barack Hussein has met the real America and a very rough lesson it has been and will continue to be.

Boston University turned out to be one of those moments. Maobama’s handlers carefully packed his speech venue with selected bussed-in supporters, complete with print shop perfect posters supporting the miserably failed Martha Coakley. A suspicious mind would wonder if SEIU paid each one of these ‘party’ stalwarts $50.00 each to show up as they have elsewhere in Massachusetts (see Martha…THAT’S how you spell it).

In any case, the Enlightened One found it very difficult to spew his propaganda, as a handful of pro-life protesters brought his teleprompted rant to a halt while his picked crowd tried to shout them down. As Obama eventually completed his singularly unimpressive spiel the atmosphere was anything but dynamic and the President’s support of the failing Coakley campaign may have turned out to be a net lose, lose.

This was what the wiser heads in his administration (if there are such) feared. His presence had little or no impact on the race while expending what little political capital he had to spare. It’s a phenomenon that seems to be spreading quickly across the spectrum of the Marxist front in the country.

Scott Brown

The ‘health care’ bill is itself on a sort of life support as the administration and Congress fall into the use of desperation tactics to attempt the forcing of passage of this spectacularly unpopular piece of legislative monstrosity. The plans are:

a. Delay the certification of Scott Brown, should he be elected, until the DeMarxists can engineer passage for the bill using what George Will termed SERIAL CORRUPTION. This would have a serious backlash Democrats may not be willing to risk. Madame Pelosi may not be able to threaten enough votes for passage this time. As I said yesterday, there are THIRTY-SEVEN HOUSE SEATS whose districts are peed plenty and may decide to dump their elected Congress critters, even if they do vote no. Such is the price of treasonous perfidy.

b. They have been threatening to go the 51 vote reconciliation route, NEVER BEFORE used on a bill of this importance and magnitude. This would be sure to set off a firestorm of public resentment and added to the anger already out there might well prove catastrophic come NOVEMBER.

c. There is a potentially even more dicey maneuver that is being put forward by ever more desperate DeMarxists, to have the Senate agree on the House version as passed and send that directly to Maobama’s desk for signature. This is also reminiscent of the ‘Divine Wind’ tactics employed by Japan during the closing days of World War Two… spectacular and completely doomed to failure. This tactic would also create a national furor that would resonate far beyond 2010 and Barack Obama’s tenuous grip on any hope of re-election in 2012 would vanish like morning mist in the sun.

Potential Coakley voters?

The last available polling results have Scott Brown over Martha Coakley 51/46 and the key Independents 64 % for Brown against 32% for Coakley. Of course this IS Massachusetts and it remains to be seen how many inhabitants of the state’s cemeteries will show up to vote. Let’s hope the Republicans have sense enough to closely monitor all polling places. We have one more day of campaigning before the election… Scott Brown can use YOUR help.

Since someone explain why the President devoted  much of his address in Boston trying to save Martha or Marcia Coakley by dissing Scott Brown for driving a truck? 

(Number of trucks in MA: 2.1 M;  2008 Obama vote : 1.9M )

Doesn't make sure sense to me unless they think they can win by turning out those all-important Prius and moped owners?.

The Democrats are going to find out Tuesday that not all of the Commonwealth's voters are devotees of the Whole Foods Market. 

We've seen the polls and seen the rally footage. But I think the shoe leather reporting about what is going on in unfashionable places like Holyoke and Fitchburg  is what gives me the most optimism.

Here's the take of the jaundiced Kevin Rennie regarding Brown's campaign in western MA.

Two dozen volunteers were on the phones.  The reason politicians have to hire phone banks is that it’s easier to raise money that it is to get supporters to make phone calls, considered by even the most devoted activists to be the worst task in politics.  Not in Holyoke.  Two dozen volunteers were on the phones, others who showed up earlier had been trained, given lists, and sent home to call because the headquarters was full.  Brown addressed more than 100 volunteers there early in the day.  He went on to West Springfield, the volunteers took prime voter lists and hit doors in the Pioneer Valley towns along the Connecticut River.

Saturday brought busloads of volunteers from New York and New Jersey.  The low-ceiling building is a political hive.  They’ve distributed 3,000 lawn signs since Friday. ....  It’s hard for any Republican to win any statewide race in Massachusetts, but I don’t recall this kind of enthusiasm for the successful Weld, Cellucci, and Romney campaigns.

 

There are an awful lot of trucks in Holyoke and Fitchburg, and they'll be plenty of Brown voters. Don't know if they are "bitter", though.

All The King’s Horses And All The King’s Men… May Not Be Enough. January 17, 2010 by Skip MacLure

The Anointed One’s panic button must certainly have been pushed to stir him from the urgency of crafting more illegal deals in his ILLEGAL attempted takeover of 16% of our total economy, taking ownership of our bodies and way of life as well.

It remains to be seen how close they really are to agreement. It also remains to be seen how many of their House votes will hold in the final analysis, given the amount of pressure being placed on Democrat and ‘moderate’ Republican RINOs by an enraged and daily-growing number of voters in their districts, and a constant barrage of negative feedback from Conservatives and Independents around the country.

The note of desperation could not be kept from reports coming from DeMarxist house organs such as The Boston Globe, The Washington Post and The New York Times, as they changed tracks and began to trumpet the list of DeMaoist heavies called upon to come forth and do battle with the upstart, but highly effective and well-liked, Scott Brown in the Massachusetts US Senate special election to determine who will hold the late Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat.

All of the administration’s sleaze mongers (those that could be spared from digging into Sarah Palin’s family) are desperately trying to find a way to destroy Scott Brown before the ballots can be counted. In the event of a Brown victory they will most surely attempt to steal the election, a la Barney Frank’s theft of his opponent’s victory through corrupt state election officials, operatives and liberal justices beholden to the left. It would behoove the Republicans to CAREFULLY monitor each and every polling place in the absolute certainty of the Maobamists pulling in the ACORN/SEIU and other Union thugocrats, to be prepared to stand up to them and for ONCE not get stepped all over. Conservative and Independent Tea Party Patriots would be perfect for this type of duty, as many of them have already been confronted by, and NOT intimidated by, the rent-a-mob goon squads.

Michelle, a disillusioned SEIU member.

It tickled the hell out of me to see a sign-wielding SEIU ‘protester’ in Massachusetts, who it turns out was an unemployed SEIU member, telling a television reporter that he was only there to collect the $50.00 being paid out by the union for the event. He further stated that he didn’t vote for Obama. This was a guy that was well aware what his union was doing. Don’t forget that SEIU and Andy Stern dropped a cool $680,000 on anti-Brown negative television ads. Hey, Andy! Ask for a refund. It didn’t work.

As we go into the final days of the campaign the DeMarxists are pulling out all the stops to try and salvage Martha Coakley. SHE CAN BE BEATEN!! Scott has been running consistently ahead in the polls in this liberal stronghold. No wonder the Enlightened One’s handlers are willing to throw away whatever capital he has left. THEY ARE DESPERATE. Go online and give Scott whatever support you can – you don’t have to live in Massachusetts to actively help. Contact his campaign at www.brownforussenate.com

While the nation is rightly focused on this surprising thrust into the rotten heart of the liberal beast, don’t forget for a moment that we have major battles being fought on other fronts. The DeMarxists have THIRTY SEVEN DISTRICTS that are in serious trouble from really aroused and ANGRY constituents who are definitely at risk of losing their jobs, and not nearly all of them are going to be willing to trust to the blandishments of cushy jobs being offered by Maobama, should they fall on their swords for him in vain. What? Not trust OBAMA? For shame.

Continue your efforts to call, fax, email, snail mail and visit your representatives’ offices. Make it so hot for them they’ll be afraid to show up. Don’t pay attention to the lies and invented stories of the LAME STREAM FRINGE MEDIA. It should be apparent to all and sundry by now that they have lied themselves into inconsequence.

On January 16, 1945, sixty five years ago, Adolf Hitler entered his command bunker deep underground in Berlin, Germany, where he would spend his last 105 days as the Russian forces closed in on the beleaguered city. It was the beginning of the end of him and the tyrannical regime he inspired.

Inside Hitler's Bunker, 1945.

I’m not suggesting any real parallel between what occurred then and now… except that what has been shaping up in this country since January 2009 has been fast-tracked to a soft tyranny by Barack Obama and the majority Demarxists, with all of the single minded determination of ideological zealots. History has taught us that there is but a small step from there to the iron shackles of a Joseph Stalin, the gates of Auschwitz, or the killing fields of a Pol Pot in Cambodia. Obama immediately sprinted to the hard left after successfully selling himself as an ‘enlightened centrist’ to a gullible America, whose Conservative and Independent voters largely stayed out of it, virtually guaranteeing Obama’s victory.

It took a stunned America a few months to begin to react to everything they saw, that was WRONG about what was being said, and the total disconnect with what they saw as pragmatic good sense. Obama took a weak economy and a 600 billion dollar deficit and tripled it, printing money and handing out vast bribes and gratuities like drunken sailors on a binge. The country had been and remains basically Conservative and right of center, facing a a hard core Marxist/Leninist trying to fundamentally change the values and freedoms so precious to us Americans. The result, as they say, is history.

There is a tidal wave of CONSERVATIVE ACTIVIST REVOLUTION out there preparing to sweep the country. Americans have arisen in their righteous anger and the enemy is recoiling on all fronts. You can tell the tide is turning by the frantic tone of the comments coming from the various segments of the DeMarxist machine and the Maobamists in the administration, to say nothing of the Liar-in-Chief himself.

The surest measure of their desperation is sending Obama into the field of fire in what very well may be a futile gesture in Massachusetts, a move that until yesterday they had been unwilling to make. The DeMarxists are pulling out all the stops to attempt to halt the extremely popular and energetic campaign of Scott Brown in his battle with Martha Coakley, who has run a singularly unimpressive campaign. All the thugs and operatives, including Hillary Clinton, are in the mix and heading for Massachusetts to try to salvage the special election, for which at this time polls are showing a strong finishing surge for Brown as money pours into his coffers from all over the nation, sent by Conservative and Independent supporters.

After the resounding defeats of November 2009 the DeMarxists are desperate for a victory, as a loss in Massachusetts may put the final nail in the coffin for the health care bill which may already be in trouble, as constituents continue to hammer away at so-called ‘Blue Dog Democrats’ whose support for ‘Obamacare’ may be uncertain. This has been underscored by the cautionary statements issued by various highly placed Democrats.

The DeMarxist and Obama regime’s ‘bunker mentality’ increases proportionally with the advance of Conservatives’ march to freedom for our country. Don’t forget to give Scott Brown your support. Contact the campaign at: www.brownforussenate.com – remember you don’t have to live there to help or contribute! The Conservative march for freedom continues…

Semper Vigilans, Semper Fidelis
