Just as I Had Figured,

the good-looking airhead and one-time Cosmopolitan centerfold Scott Brown handily beat Democrat Martha Coakley in a true embarrassment of a race, since this had been Ted Kennedy's seat for all of those years.

True, the Dems could get the seat back in a couple of years, but make no mistake: This was a disaster of epic proportions. Worse than that, it looked as if the Democrats were deliberately throwing this special election.

There had to be people in Massachusetts who were far better than the one who got the nod. Moreover, it seemed to me what support Coakley had was half-hearted.

It doesn't look good for Democrats in the fall. I squarely blame Obama for this mess. He squandered a golden opportunity to actually help people to get back to work--after all, the economy and jobs are really all that matter, not the sideshow of health care "reform" which now is all but dead and never was alive to begin with. Or to bail out Wall Street.

What is truly scary is people will vote the Republicans in, knowing full well they have NO use for working people and would have them as slaves if they could.

Will the Democrats Screw Up--Again?

The right is starting to find its dubious legs again because Democrats are totally fucking up the health care issue, among other matters. Democrats had better be worried about next year.

Of course if Republicans get back in the majority we are truly screwed.

When an elite buys off both political parties, the American people get the shaft. Democrats have to be Democrats again.

But the GOP are the masters of the Big Lie, and once again we are getting the "Harry and Louise" garbage about health care reform. People fall sucker for this shit every goddamned time.

Canada and France get demonized for their health care systems, even though those systems are FAR superior to this shitty system we have here. There is NO excuse for employer-paid health insurance and NO excuse for private health insurance AT ALL; it is woefully out of date and has been since the advent of HMOs and for-profit health care.

Health care (including insurance), like education, is not a "for-profit" enterprise. They are necessities.

While the voters continue to believe the GOP's crap about health care, people continue to go without insurance, get sick and even die because of not having it.
