A politician is someone who didn’t have enough integrity to be a used car salesman.
Remember that today. I’m not all that happy that a Republican might be elected in Massachusetts but I’m ecstatic that a Democrat might loose.
Scott Brown isn’t a white knight with a pure heart. He’s a politician, so don’t get all hopey changey about him.
It is very unusual to actually get a choice here in MA as to who to vote for, or more exactly who will screw you less once they get in. Normally it is just a formality before we have to bend over and take it again from the DEMs. If Scott can win here that will say something. . . .
Do not mistake my enthusiasm for Scott Brown as support. I fully understand that he is a politician, and a MA politician at that.
However…
It offers a chance to drive a stake right through the heart of Øbamacare. Check.
It offers a chance to shake the national single party control (slightly). Check.
It offers a chance to break the stranglehold on MA politics at the national level. Check.
It ought to send a message, loud and clear, that we will not be taken for granted any more, that merely slapping an (R) or a (D) on one’s name is not a magic bullet for election even in the “safest” areas.
I like the idea that there are NO “safe” areas for politicians. In general, that is…
I am positively giddy about Scott Brown right now…
Getting excited Jay? 🙂
