I saw that. He said that people are angry and frustrated, and Scott Brown's win "isn't just about the past year, but about the previous 8 years." Really?? Ugh. So out of touch and arrogant. Seems to me that Mass had democratic senators during the Bush Administration. Still pointing fingers at W? That club shouldn't be in his bag anymore. That ship has sailed.

I'd like to see him pare back his agenda (which they are going to have to do with health care), and focus on the economy and job creation (in the private sector). In bi-partisan fashion too, please. Remember, no red America, no blue America, but the United States of America, right?

This should be a wake up call to both parties. After the progressive Bushites took over the Republican party, it destroyed itself. The conservative / libertarians abandoned it in 2006 and again in 2008, or at least I and people I know did. Now the Democrats are doing the same thing. So it should come as no surprise that a Republican, who ran as an independant, won in Mass. Now that we kicked out the gutless Republicans, the lawless Democrats are next. It's a good day for independants, conservatives, and libertarians. These gang-bankster fascist are getting exposed and kicked out. It's too bad we can't imprison them.

Good post. I can't believe I just said that.

I was gonna post this in the Obamacare Thread but it was really paining me to see that thread bumped again.

But I can't seem to figure out points of the healthcare plan that people are against the most. I can understand the public option and the cost of the bill itself. I voted for the guy and I'm no fan of that either. In fact my support for him as a whole is kinda waining, but I digress.

But other than those 2 things, what else do people find ridiculous about the bill? I've searched around but everything is so damn expansive and technical, my poor little college brain can't handle it.

LOVED the outcome of this one! I think this proves that NO one is safe on either side of the aisle.
If the Dems do not learn from this than they are in big trouble!
