According to the Boston Globe Scott Brown enjoyed his widest margins in his January election in the area that comprises Delahunt's district.

I don't care why he's quitting, I only care that another Democrat is quitting from a contestable seat. Put someone electable in there GOP!

I have no idea what "eleciton" is... FUCK!

Isn't he the guy tied to the Nutty Professor who killed her brother back in the late 80's and recently killed 3 down south? WFT was her name?

FF!

Been toying with sub-atomic particles again, eh?
I told you, that shit is like crack.

it's a corporate housecleaning. they are getting rid of all the people that might have voted against them at some point.

I'm sure it was just a coincidence that he let a killer go and then that same killer goes on to kill again and then he decides to not run next time.

It's all just an interesting coincidence.

---lefties---

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. you righties are making this shit up to meke the republicans look better. I can see through your ploy.

Another one bites the dust...

The giant flushing sound in Nov will be the House & Senate being clensed of the Socialist turds that have been permiating the Fed Gubment who do not have a clue on fiscal responsibity.
(Both Dem's & Repubs)

This wholesale spending must stop!!!

Take a look at Greece....this is a precursor of what's going to happen all over the EU then over here in the USA. Too many "parasites" sucking on the teet of the producing taxpayers.

republicans spending is the highest, it is the worst. Historically proven. Republican spending always results in nothing but failed states and war zones.

Stop trying to paint Democrats and Republicans as the same, because they aren't. Republicans are quite obviously in the wrong a much larger majority of the time than the Democrats.

Republicans are quite obviously evil, or ignorant to the point of evil.

Democrats biggest crime is being right about most things but being pussies with no balls.

Kreator,

Please turn off MSNBC and put the bong down.

No one could be that igrorant and not be totaly high.

C'mon November!

Exactly correct.

As for your other statement about Repubs being evil - I think the vast majority that vote Republican do it out of good old fashioned ignorance.

So this guy is gone--

What is the tally for the HC Bill?

Aren't there 2 dead Dems (Murtha one and can't recall the other), and this is 3 or 4 retired in the middle of their term and won't be replaced until November elections...??

Hmmmm

The vote in the house was 220 to 215

Take away Cao of LA and Nancy doesn't have the votes to pass the Senate HC bill.

Then there is Stupak and his coalition--if they can hold it together...

What is the tally for the HC Bill?...

According to HuffPo this guy voted NO the first time around because he was a proponent of Single-Payer.

So too bad so sad for the bad guys - this isn't the loss of a previous "Yes" vote.

MURPHY

There's already a law against using federal funds for abortions.

And Dems are fighting like hell to change that law. A lot of dems want federal funding for abortion in healthcare b/c it's a "right"

I love this shit--do even half of the rightwing critics who say shit like "This is another socialist loser realizing he's done wrong" ever aim their gun at their own party flacks who are stepping down? Or even those who are saying this is gonna be a sweep blah blah blah. Fuckin' partisan bullshit. (Yeah, some leftwingers do it too.) Of course, I find the whole prediction thing fascinating, too, and sort of silly--the assertions that x will happen, I mean. But anyway... If the guy's a criminal, of course, he should go. I hope you all apply the same criteria to all politicians, regardless of party affiliation or ideological stance.

Put someone electable in there GOP!

pretty sure that I heard that mccain carried his district so that would make it plausible that the gop would have a leg up but you are right...gop must put someone in there that can win AND do what they are supposed to do and represent tax PAYERS for a change

I'm a taxpayer. I don't feel represented by my Republican congresspersons and senators. (Well, I didn't. I think my congresspersons are now Dems.)

So maybe you should say, Afk, "AND do what they are supposed to do according to Republicans and represent Republican tax PAYERS for a change." 'Cause you know, all rightwingers pay taxes and no leftwingers do.

of course thats right..lol

but seriously...the left thinks that all gop here are all rich corporate whores who hate the working stiffs and reality is that more dems are filthy rich than gop....if you have to have a wide path..

but also remember that 10% pay for like 75 or 80% or even more of taxes while HALF dont pay a dime ...
income tax of course is what IM referring to..

AND you misquoted me...I DID NOT say this..

represent Republican tax PAYERS for a change."

the word republican did not appear in my sentence so I want a THOUSAND BUCKS NOW and another thousand next month in compensasion....

Afk--I didn't misquote you; that is, it wasn't an error: I put the word "Republican" in to make my point. Many Dem taxpayers approve of the Dem agenda--you asserted "what they're supposed to do... for tax PAYERS." You were assuming two things (at least) in error, or incompletely.

I don't know about your math, but I have little problem with 10% of the rich making up for what "the little guy" can't afford. Social contract and all that. Cost of doing business, as in, you get to make all this bucks because of free enterprise in this country, so give some back goddamit. We can disagree on philosophy (we do, pretty much always), but you're not reminding me of anything. (Though I'm willing to bet your math is flawed.)

Finally, "the left" doesn't think anything in some monolithic sense. Some lefties think x, others think y, and still others think z. We're at least as diverse in our opinions as rightwingers are, possibly more so. This lefty doesn't think all GOP here are all rich corporate whores who hate blah blah blah. This lefty thinks that lots of GOP or even just regular conservatives are working stiffs who are somehow blinded to the reality that the Republican party is hardly helping them. I could turn it around and assert that the right thinks that all lefties are rich limousine liberals who want to keep working stiffs down so they can manipulate them into keeping the left in power. And I'd be just as wrong as you. Fact is, ideology does not define class status, nor vice versa. I know rich righties and rich lefties. I know working-class lefties and working-class righties. I might suggest that more lefties I know are college educated, but I am quite certain I don't know a representative sample. This false right/left divide, this false right/left rich/poor divide needs to be struck down. We all live here, and we all have to do shit to make our society work. Let's stop accusing each other of shit or assuming a, b, and c and really TALK and really LISTEN. Whaddya say? (HA!)

you cant just PUT a word into a quote to make apoint..how do you figure that....
I hear dems on tv all the time say you have a right to an opinion but not a right to your own facts. how can you CHANGE my quote that way.,...
I know...you just dont want to PAY ME MY money...lol

but thats okay...its such a completely beautifull day here in southeast texas that I am about to go and run around outside naked.....well maybe I will break out the shorts instead..

I have no money, Afk. I'm a teacher, remember? : )

I believe you understood my point and are attempting to play funny. I have to believe that or conclude that you are quite stupid. : )

And please do southeast Texas a favor and keep your clothes on. (Are there public nudity laws, or do you live in the SE Texas equivalent of Brattleboro, VT?)

but its limosine liberals who LECTURE us about things like environment while they smoke out and use more energy than whole cities...(al gore) and yes...sanctamonious religious gop who end up getting tossed for sex stuff are just as bastardly..
but the MEDIA uses a double standard that throws the evenheadedness of ME AND YOU right out the window.
and thus dems are able to use the 'culture of corruption' to help take over govt while that phrase will never see the 'light of day' on nbc or abc or cbs......

holy cow...batman

gotta go...its

LUNCH.....

always a pleasure visiting with you maam..
EVEN if you do MAKE UP QUOTES ..lol

"maam"? Weird. Okay, lady.

Al Gore uses so much energy (at his home) because it's a business, a frame of reference that I think is worth considering. I do, however, have a problem with some folks who fly their own plane to wherever to talk about environmental problems. I never said there weren't hypocrites out there on the left, but they exist on the right too. You know, people who whine about high taxes that the working class have to pay but then get so many deductions that they don't pay any... And again, Afk, your brush is very wide and yet oddly focused only on the left wing. There's no culture of corruption among Republicans? Weird. I guess we don't read the same news.

Lunch? Oh, yeah, you're in an earlier time zone. I'm on the East Coast, the arbiter of all reality. : )
