Scott Brown Election Beginning of a Great Year

Massachusetts voters came out in record numbers on a snowy, rainy day to cast their vote in Tuesday’s special election for the US Senate. Brown vs. Coakley. Obama’s agenda vs. the 41st vote.

But something was missing…

A lack of signs was the least of Coakley’s worries however.

Her issue was mediocrity. She was pretty boring as a candidate. And for the life of me I can’t figure out where her accent is from. It’s kinda weird.

Worse yet Coakley ran campaign ads that were so negative you expected the narrator to say things like “Scott Brown punts puppies.” or “Scott Brown leaves the seat up in a household of three women…can you count on him to care about female reproduction rights?

Meanwhile, Scott Brown ran a positive campaign and defied the odds with a five-point victory in a state so blue three out of four voters wear socks with their sandals.

So much for that liberal bastion.

Someone pointed out today that 5% is not a big majority, because of course, we are talking about a Republican. Obama gets 5.9% and it’s a landslide.

Whatever.

Brown won and now the Democrats are, well having some issues. You think unstable liberals after a victory are out of their mind?

You have not lived until you have seen the meltdown, the sorrow, the sadness that accompanies a major Democratic loss.

Some are afraid.

I”m surrounded by Repukes. I think I’m not getting out of my house tomorrow.*”

I like the wording: “…I’m not getting out of my house tomorrow.

Like there are all these crazed independent political zombies roaming the commentor’s neighborhood in a quest for liberal brains.

Some are really angry.

“It absolutely sickens me….to see this solid blue state have some sleazeball, degenerate, scumbag filth republican as their “representative”. I’m even more sickened and disgusted to see Ted’s seat, that he held for decades on end go to this piece of garbage, cookie cutter, bottom feeding, dirtbag republican.*”

I didn’t know Keith Olberman is a regular poster on the Democratic Underground forums.

Some are so despondent they pull out the race card.

“The unspoken problem with this race is race. Because the election has become a referendum on President Obama, Martha should not expect the support of irish catholics who are traditional rascists.*”

This from a member of the party that celebrates diversity.

In the end you know it was a good election for conservatives when liberals are using things like upside down US flag icons in their comments and forum entries. One person even used 223 puke emotes in a forum comment*, probably getting angrier and angrier with every keystroke.

2010 is going to be a great year for conservatives. Liberals not so much.
