Massachuetts Sends Shot Heard Round The World

In a stunning reversal of fortunes for the progressives, the Tea Party people beat back tyranny of the majority, and save freedom and liberty to fight another day. The party that stuck to their principles, won the day. That is some lesson to take away from the Massachusetts Senate election.

In the bluest of blue state, in the bluest of blue races, the American people have spoken, loud and clear. Even tin-eared Obama can hear the shout out. WE DON'T WANT GOVERNMENT RATIONED ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY NOT GOVERNMENT RATIONED HEALTH-CARE!!!



From the UK Telegraph:

President Barack Obama is facing the biggest crisis of his presidency after Scott Brown, a little known Republican, took the senate seat of the late Senator Edward Kennedy

In what is being called the most momentous political shock in the United States for a generation, the victory of Mr Brown, a state senator and property lawyer, means that the Democrats have lost the 60-seat majority in the senate that enables them to close debate on legislation.

The president's cherished health care reform is now in grave danger of failing or being forced back to the drawing board, along with plans to tax carbon emissions and other ambitious items on his agenda.

Mr Brown won by 52 per cent to 47 per cent over Democrat Martha Coakley, the state's attorney general who ran an unexciting campaign, took Christmas week off and misspelled the state's name in an advertisement.

The vote was however seen chiefly as a referendum on health care and Barack Obama's first year in office, the anniversary of which falls today.

A packed hotel ballroom in Boston erupted in jubilation when the news of his victory was announced by Ayla Brown, the candidate's daughter. A former American Idol finalist, she had just taken the stage to perform and promptly burst into a rendition of Dancing in the Street.

We are Americans, tyrants need not apply.
