So did the Republicans win or not?

Seems like the previous thread got hijacked.

NJ, Virginia, now the old Kennedy dynastic seat in MA.

Is there any reason to believe the republicans did NOT win?

Or is this one obvious point libs just don't want to acknowledge.

Is the Obama beatification on hold now?

Hard to believe, but many of the liberal spinning heads have concluded that the dems lost because they "just weren't liberal enuf". They still just don't get it. GOOD NEWS! Hope they keep it up and get "more liberal" between now and November.

It will be very satisfying to see Harry Reid and Alan Spincter (D-NV and D-PA) go back to whatever hole (or campus) they crawled out of.

P.S. Sen Spincter sounds just like Howard Sprague from the Andy Griffiths Show.

No, the Republicans have not won anything (other than the 3 individual races you described). We still have a socialist in the White House; we have socialists running the Senate and House of Representatives. They still outnumber us by a huge margin.

The country has already made huge moves toward socialism. The banks are being controlled by the government; the auto industry is being controlled by the government; Freddie and Fannie have been taken over; and on and on and on. It's a disaster for the country.

The victory by Brown is like putting a finger in the dike. It may stop one small leak, but socialism is pouring from a million other holes. Also, Brown is not a true conservative. He's definitely better than Coakley, but he's not what we really need!

Well with the number of Democrats backpedaling on Obamacare after Brown's victory I would say it's more a matter that the people won a psychological victory and notified everyone in Washington that they're just a temp.

The reason the dems are backpedeling is because of the exit poll that concluded that 95% of those that voted for Brown did so as a vote against healthcare.

But for the repub's to win they need to put out their own proposal.

IMO it should be that all healthcare issues shall be an States rights issue as the federal government constitution does not address the issue, but some states constitutions do.

Agreed. But as I understand they have and it is coupled with tort reform. They've just been shut out of any meeting for the time being.

"IMO it should be that all healthcare issues shall be an States rights issue as the federal government constitution does not address the issue, but some states constitutions do."

I agree as well. People should be allowed to buy across state lines and keep that separate from "free" medical care from those who are in true need.

Clearly if the GOP can win Ted Kennedy's Senate seat, the Dems are screwing up big time...and you have to imagine if they can lose this seat, there will be a lot more lost in the near future...

If the Dems try to push this current health care bill without due process (waiting for Brown to be seated), they deserve to lose all their seats...

Just need to point out one thing here. It was NOT Ted Kennedy's seat. It was, and is, the people's seat. Ted Kennedy merely occupied it for the last 46 years.

:cool:

When I lived in Boston, there was a saying we had, "Ted Kennedy may be Senator but I'll be darned if I can find anyone who voted for him." It was his de facto seat and like FDR, it took death to stop the political machine. It should be interesting to see where Massachusetts goes from here.

Seriously, you thought she looked like Sara Palin? When's the last time you had your glasses checked?

It wasn't me who complained. I didn't find it offensive. A strange choice for a real estate forum, maybe, but hey, if it reflected the inner you, more power to you.
