The Axis Of Stevil Show

I just wanted to take a minute here to (a) gloat on the Republican win in Massachusetts last night and (b) give the rundown on the campaign, election, and aftermath of the Boston Tea Party 2010. I will try to keep my mean spirited nature in check, but I'm not sure how much luck I will have. 

As a guy who grew up in Connecticut and understands just how liberal parts of New England are, the thought had honestly never entered my mind that the Republicans would have a chance in this election. First off, it's Massachusetts. Second, it was the seat formerly held by liberal icon Ted Kennedy. Third, it was a battle for the health care bill that said Kennedy considered to be his legacy. So for a Republican win, the liberal state would have to insult their liberal icon by replacing him with the Republican that will try to kill is liberal legacy. Now I'm sure you can understand why I paid this race no attention. 

About two weeks ago, I heard some Republicans suggesting that we had an outside shot at winning this seat. I still paid it no attention. "They're not from up there, they just don't understand," I told myself. Yes, that's a comma. I left out part of that thought. Hey, I have add. I think the rest of it was about the new throwback Mt Dew made with real sugar. But I digress.

Then, last week, I heard that a poll actually had Scott Brown winning the race. I also heard Martha Coakley saying that she was buckling down and taking this challenge seriously. A lot of people mocked her for waiting so long, but I'm thinking that if I were the Dem in this race I would have been in Hawaii or something just chilling. Hey, you're the Democrat. You don't have to try in Massachusetts. But I figured that since she was going to start trying, maybe I should be paying some attention. So I did. Here is what I saw which, by the way, could compile a top ten list of how not to win.

1. Invite the sitting President who has watched the two candidates he campaigned for, the olympic games he tried to win for his City, State, and Country, and the Global Warming summit he flew off to save all blow up in his face to come save your campaign.
2. Deny the existence of terrorists in Afghanistan.
3. Run campaign ads that are sponsored by the "Massachusettes Democratic Party". Apparently, they are easier to get funds from in a pinch than the Massachusetts Democratic Party.
4. Have the U.N. Envoy to Haiti abandon his post as that country suffers one of the biggest natural disasters in recent history to come to Mass and stump for your campaign.
5. When the hero of your hometown baseball team (who only has a 6-1 playoff record and 2-0 in the World Series) supports your opponent, call him a fan of your teams hated rivals.
6. When your poll numbers start slipping, call in staffers to beat up reporters.
7. Never, never, never show up at your hometown hockey teams games. It might be cold out there. People might want to shake your hand. They could have germs.
8. Insult the members of the largest religion in your State by saying that they should either not practice their religion or not work in hospitals.
9. Spend six days of the last month of your campaign on vacation. 
10. Keep innocent people in prison while you fight to keep child rapists out.

Now I know what you're thinking. I'm saying that Coakley is an idiot who blew this thing, right? Not exactly. For the Democrats to blame her is absolutely ridiculous. First of all, they nominated her. Not to mention the fact that they wouldn't have even had to have this election were it not for the fact that they changed the rules back in 2004 when they were dumb enough to think that Coakley's fellow mental midget John Kerry would actually win the White House. At that time, to prevent a Republican Governor from naming the successor, they changed the law to require a special election to fill his seat. Were it not for that action, their current Democrat Governor would have named Kennedy's replacement and the liberals could have done what they do best... ignore the will of the people and fill a spot with an incompetent moron. 

All of this leads me to President Obama, who somehow seems to think that people rejected his Candidate for one that belonged to the party of George Bush because they love him and were angry at Bush. Figure that one out. Meanwhile, he packs up his teleprompters and heads to the Bay State to plug for the hapless candidate  and said the following of her opponent.

"I don’t know him -- he may be a perfectly nice guy. I don’t know his record,"

Way to go Barry. Nice to know you spent a lot of time researching the opponent and reaching a decision on whom to support.  It got even crazier, however, when Obama decided to follow up his line about how Coakley would be an "independent voice" with his line about how many of his policies require a 60th vote, and she would be that vote. With all due respect, sir... have you seen how bad your policies are bombing?

To be fair, Scott Brown ran a great campaign. He brought a great personality, a hard work ethic, and a populist message to the people of the State in his pick up truck. The truck became a symbol of his connection with the working people. President Obama didn't understand that of course, and decided to mock the truck and the people who identified with it. And all of this lead to the unthinkable. Senator Scott Brown, Republican, Massachusetts. 

So as the Democrats point fingers and try to figure out how this happened, understand if I sit back and laugh a little.  I thought President Bush was supposed to be the idiot.
