Almost immediately after Obama showed his ideological cards last spring, I suggested in the first weeks of his presidency that the bait-and-switch president would soon face a Carter/Clinton moment in which he could either press on with his polarizing ideology, damage his party for a generation, and eventually end up churlish and sneering at the electorate, who did not appreciate his exalted morality and genius — or triangulate and follow the Dick Morris/Bill Clinton model of talking and acting sort of centrist.

Who knows after Obama’s Scott Brown moment? We now may hear once again the old “no more Red State/Blue State” tropes, the stale campaign promises of presidential vetoes, claims of financial sobriety, the return of a “war on terror,” and smaller government

We’re either down to all that — or Obama’s more principled road to perdition."

Obama is a progressive, he could care less about the dems…and it will be his Waterloo..

Come November the slaughter will be historic..

Now expecting them to stay in charater, I expect hatred of me to increase as if that will fix their problem.

The problem is Obama is a mill stone around the dems neck. Obama is to vain to know it and someone needs him to move on.

Expect a war, or an attempt on his life. That is the only thing left to salvage his failing presidency.

I agree it is time for Boxer to go because like all things big and small, there should be an expiration date on the package. Boxer has clearly run out of ideas, has no vision about where to take California, and is tired. We need a fresh vision, someone with spunk and drive, and someone who will stir the passions of all voters to want to clean up California.

Boxer is too tied to the status quo. I know it, you know it and I’m betting Boxer knows it too.

By the way, isn’t Boxer related to the Clinton dynasty via marriage? I can just imagine everyone sitting around the dinner table at a holiday advising Boxer when and if it’s her time to hit the road.

Boxer has enough experience to go off and lecture, do keynote addresses, write a book….. But as far as serving the people, that day has come and gone. I am in agreement with the rest of you on this issue.

Know when to stay and know when to go. Barb’s effectiveness has run its course.

I don’t mean to be a kill-joy Randy, but what does a person’s transportation preference have to do with their character?

On the other hand, it is very earth-shattering that Massachusetts — of all places! — elected a Republican to the Senate. I guess it goes to show that people are, indeed, extremely unhappy with the Obama administration.

I wouldn’t bank on the same thing happening in California, however.

Californians, especially Southern Californians, are less educated and less civic-minded than people in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts, since the time of the Puritans, has been the literacy and education capitol of the U.S. They are mainly liberal Democrats, but they sense that something is “off”.

I don’t think Southern Californians have that intrinsic sensibility, but we’ll see…

Also it was Obama that made an issue of Brown’s truck.

What means something is the election of that particular person. It wasn’t a referendum on Obama. It was about the people looking past titles and looking at the person.

I think that’s a great thing.

I feel people on the East Coast have a greater sense of urgency, like to get things done, and even walk faster than people on the West Coast.

I think I’ll look up some studies on that phenomenon.

It says something about the mood of the Massachusetts electorate.
( send private message )

Massachusetts liberals are their own breed of people, I think. They’re often very objective and very skeptical of the people in office. Part of the Puritan ethic remains there, which is the idea that “good government” is better than a corrupt government. I think the people saw Coakley as having been too tied in with the Democrats in the state legislature and just another “me too” vote in what has become an increasingly corrupt Obama Administration.

You’d actually like Brown, I do. He’s a Pro-Choice moderate. I don’t know how he comes down on Gay marriage, but I hope he takes the line of let the people decide in a free and open vote, not judges.
( send private message )

Since the question of marriage is a state matter, I don’t think Brown would make a declaration on it, unless it became a federal matter again. I imagine that, if pressed, he would probably take the same approach as Mitt Romney, which was that it was a “state’s rights” matter that should be resolved at the individual state level. New England Republicans, in those rare moments when they’re elected, often resemble the Old Paleoconservative wing of the party that supported fiscal restraint, global isolationism, but were fairly libertarian or moderate on social issues.

Brown is one of those teabag d-bags. And the more front-and-center the teabag movement is in Republican politics, the tougher it will be for the Rep party.

The financial collapse should forever silence the mindless “government is bad, regulation is bad, trust the market only” chanters. Who are largely responsible for the mess.

PKShaw -

The movement is made up of angry white Fox News watchers. Who never said a peep when Bush was spending us into oblivion—Bush never even TRIED to pay as he went, with anything he did. At least Obama, with his one big initiative (health care), is trying. The teabag d-bags didn’t even exist then. The only thing that’s changed—and has activated this bunch—is that they don’t agree with Obama and Dems.

In short, teabaggers don’t like taxes or spending…by DEMOCRATS. Period.

It’s a faux movement anyway. Bought and paid for by Fox News. And whether we agree or not on the teabag d-bag’s makeup or backing, they are going to create a problem for the Republican party.

You are 100% right a Republican that runs or is afraid of the conserative roots (RINO) is endangered.

Obama got elected promising to slow down the slide his congress gave him. But he lied and the democratic party faithful will pay the price next November. Boxer will be toast!

GW lost his majority in 06 and we are year 3 of democrats in control of our money. I’d say they have failed.

The Scott heard around the world is a beginning. A very happy day.

Ann Coulter says lying dem leaders when we find out their true objectives are tossed out. Obama took only 10 months before his armor fell off and he’s saddled with it carying it like an albatross.

As far as the White part goes, it is apparent you haven’t been to many “tea parties” or you would have witnessed not only a cross section of political ideologues but the wide variety of racial/ethnic representatives as well. Taxing structures are not categorized by race.

This brings up a very enlightening hour that Glenn Beck had on recently. He spent some time in a room of about 75-100 people in which his was the only White face. The people who participated left me with a sense of hope I haven’t felt in a long time. I hope the show runs again because people like you need to see it. But then I suspect you wouldn’t watch it anyway.

But if he is the “self-parodying clown” as you call him – what difference does it make as long as the show is interesting? Larry King bores me silly but I still watch when he has an interesting guest.

Some people watch fake news on Fox. Others watch fake news on Colbert. I get the sense, though, that Fox News watchers think Fox’s fake news is real!

The only one I watch on Fox is the “The Factor” with Bill O’Reilly and I do so specifically because he invites guests from both sides to present their case. He doesn’t tell me how to think, he just puts it out there so I can decide.

So more people watch Fox News than CNN. Yet even more people watch American Idol—what, 30 million?

So what? Entertainment usually gets higher viewership than news. There’s really no point in comparing them.

Are you just assuming someone who criticizes Fox News is a “liberal”?

That’s not very fair or balanced. It’s almost like you’re making assumptions that Fox News is slanted to the right or something….

If you quack like a liberal expect to be called one.

That’s pretty self-evident stuff, requiring neither left nor right slant. Facts are facts.

Olbermann is liberal. I’m not saying he’s not.

I’m just also not saying that Fox isn’t Republican.

If you call what Obama did re: Gitmo, the Iraq war, and spending “lies”, then you must be red-faced hopping mad over the outright REAL lies that the Bush admin told habitually.

Here’s how President Obama summed up Tuesday’s massive political earthquake in Massachusetts:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: People are angry and they’re frustrated. Not just because of what’s happened in the last year or two years, but what’s happened over the last eight years.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

Believe it or not: It’s still Bush’s fault. He actually started out his interview with George Stephanopoulos by blaming the voter anger in Massachusetts on George W. Bush. So, help me with that, Barack: The people are mad at Bush for what he did eight years ago, so they voted for a Republican?

Take that, George Bush! We’ll help out Obama… by voting for a Republican! That’ll show him and that evil Karl Rove, too!

That’s like getting mad at oil companies because of high gas prices and switching from Exxon to Shell. I hate these big oil people, so I’m going to switch to Chevron!

Stop insulting our intelligence.

Even the fanatics in 1930s Germany’s had the good sense to limit their nutty outlook to a mere “1000 year” Reich. But the US Right…oh no, its permanent! (Interesting trivia…the Nazi heyday lasted from 38-44, 6 years. Bush’s “permanent” Rep majority lasted from 2001-2007, 6 years).

And already Randy is talking about Dems “never” achieving the presidency again? Who thinks like that? Sanely I mean?

Where’s your anger at Obama for lying to you?

Such language is all over the rights mindset. Even in America’s darkest days, suffering under the miserable failure Bush, and knowing the Reps would be trounced for it, I’d never think that the Rep party was dead forever. But such language is common for the right. Its some kind of absolutist, black-and-white way of thinking, or something. I don’t know because I don’t think that way.

In case you missed it Obama is now the other John Edwards of the Democratic Party. The longer he hangs on the as I said the less likely dems will get elected. They will have to run on being more republican like. You know cutting taxes, reducing deficits. Oops that how Obama got elected when he was lying to you.

I totally understand why you think abortion is good, taxes can’t be high enough for the productive, and Obama walks on water.

Being a little bit insane is like being a little bit pregnant right?

You are quick to label a person as insane but say you don’t think that way. You have no guide post you can relate one issue to another because that would be black and white. So why do you have any strong opinions such as Bush was a failure?

You just said you don’t think in absolutes but you seem to absolutely do think in absolutes. No wonder your leader’s ratings are dropping faster that camel crap in Egypt.
