KipWellsFan Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jan 19, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) This doesn't sound like fear at all.... In Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees," MSNBC host Keith Olbermann said I'm bitter about this special election and am left wondering if a left of center President can get much of anything accomplished in the current environment, but these comments by Olbermann are complete nonsense. I haven't paid close attention to Scott Brown but upon glancing over his wikipedia page, the only one of those comments that seem true is the "ex-nude model." Olbermann is just angry and bitter and in this instance the argument that MSNBC is just as bad as Fox News is correct. If Brown is elected, hopefully he will turn out to be an independent and moderate conservative. Not sure he could last if he became a predictable and reliable conservative vote.

lostfan Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Jon Stewart on the race: "If this lady loses, the health care reform bill that the beloved late senator considered his legacy, will die. And the reason it will die... is because if Coakley loses, Democrats will only have an 18 vote majority in the Senate, which is more than George W. Bush ever had in the Senate when did whatever the f*** he wanted to." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I don't think Brown being an ex-nude model has any relevance to anything whatsoever, but by all means we should still be allowed to make fun of him for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 From Rassmussen, the only one who did any kind of exit polling. •Among those who decided how they would vote in the past few days, Coakley has a slight edge, 47% to 41%. If that's true Coakley kills him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Supposedly, Coakley just conceded. I gots one thing to say. HELL YES. Go die in a fire, health care bill. BUT... if that's the way it goes, LEAD on this, and get something done instead of nothing. "Nothing" is not an option anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'm sure, also, as Rex was alluding to, this wasn't about Obama and his policies, this was simply about a dumb woman who couldn't run her campaign, right? Wrong. Even in Massachusetts, this was about Obama. That's all I'm going to say on this whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could easily double down and actually decide to create a better bill, after realizing that it's their own people who are turned off completely right now. Or this could just as easily kill the President's agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I know this is the Republican thread so I have to accept that the media is a bunch of crazy liberals, but it really says something about either the people running the party or the people running the media, or both, that GWB gets a 51-50 minority in the Senate in 2000 and is able to ram through NCLB, 3 batches of tax cuts, the Medicare insurance company bailout bill, the Iraq war, and so on, and is able to every time peel away significant numbers of Dems, and the Dems 6 years later have a much, much stronger majority and are totally unable to do anything, and the moment anyone says anything mean to them they run away screaming.

In my opinion (of course) it's because the Democrats don't really stand for anything. Welcome to the dark side...
