After the abuse we took since 2008 until Brown's win we are ready to boot these leeches and parasites from Congress and Senate.

All of them!! No Democrats ever again!

No Republicans either, they cooperated with the enemy.!

Term limits now!!!

If there hadn't been a McCain, we wouldn't be saddled with an Obama. Nuff said.

As someone who worked on the Coakley campaign (but only after she defeated Capuano) I can tell you with authority that her's was one of the worst campaigns in history.

It was so poorly run that she could have lost to a vacuous male model...oh, wait, she did.

So, of course, Obama, like every President, campaigns on behalf of his party. But, you can only polish a turd so much. Regardless of what you think of Obama, it is sheer intellectual dishonesty to say that it was Obama's fault that he could get the unelectable elected. And of course a President's numbers fall a little during hard times...his numbers have fallen about 4 points in the worst economy since the 1930's, not exactly the disaster some would tell you it is.

There's a lot of Obama bashing going on. Personally, I'm rooting for the United States to do well. That means Barack Obama must do well. What can I say, I'm patriotic and I root for whoever the President is. Maybe I should have more of an agenda, but I just care about the U.S.A.

Perhaps Doug Haye is a partisan patriot - there are plenty of others on both sides who should be ashamed - but not me, I care about the country and support the office of the Presidency. I couldn't care less about political parties or about left and right.

Now, let's be honest, the country is in far better shape now than it was a year ago. To say otherwise is laughable. Should we have continued with failed policies and bury our heads in the sand? Or, take risks like Americans always have and stop all of this fearful trembling about spending and debt? Study what happened during the early months and years of the Depression and you'll see that we are doing the opposite. Or, perhaps you'd like to repeat that part of our history?

Or, maybe it's more important to you to see the President fail than to see our country rebound? That would be the partisan approach.

There's always something to whine about if you're so inclined. Act like American's always have, Doug Haye (whoever you are) and those who follow his cowardly line of thought and have a little faith in courage instead...the sky isn't falling yet, Chicken Little!

A true American would vote for what is best for the people of this great nation and not within political bounds just to defend his or her political party. It is just wrong to to keep putting more tax burdens on the legal citizen of this nation. We should have the full support of our politicians whether they be democrats or Republicans. or liberals. The tax payers in this country have been expected to give their hard earned dollars to provide programs,benefits, relief, and support to many people through out the world. We do so because it is not only necessary but the right thing to do.When politicians can control our liberties,change or alter our bill of rights and make constitutional amendments that give up our freedom then they should be removed from office. I stand behind this great nation and am proud of the unique coutry we live in. Power to the people.

The resounding defeat of the Democrat Candidates in every election that the Barack Hussein Obama Albatross been out campaigning for in 2010 certainly proves Obama's Only Political

Accomplishment to date for Barack Hussein Obama is to have become The Biggest Political Albatross To Ever Hang Around The

Neck Of The Democratic Party in history. And it guarantees their

defeat just like it did in all three major races that NOBAMA showed up and arrogantly made a total fool of himself and the

Democrat candidate like Coakley last night when the Republican

Scott Brown won by a huge landslide and ran his pickup truck

over Barack Obama as well,after Obama's mocking remarks about

Republicans and Conservatives and Tea Baggers driving pickups.

Therefore,last night election of Scott Brown as the 41st Republican US Senator and Brown's destroying the myth that this

was "Teddy Kennedy's Seat" in the US Senate,is the third straight loss for Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrats making

0 for 3 so far in 2010 and many more Democrat losses yet to come

for Team Obama assures Barack Obama his legacy of total dismal

failure and complete incompetence now has the added accomplishment of becoming "The Great Democrat Albatross" as well. The voters are sending Obama and his Chicago Thugs and

other Incompetents in the Obama White House and Democrat Congress that we are mad and fed up with you and your out of touch with reality socialist agenda and Obams's Teleprompter,

Endless Vacations,Jet Set Partying,World Apology Tours,and OBAMACARE and your out starting on Election Day 2010 and ending

in Election Day 2012 when the Democrats will have lost control

of Congress and the White House for the next 50 years again.

And,it opens the door for new political blood such as Republican

US Senator Elect Scott Brown,Gov Sarah Palin,and others,and unless Sarah Palin blows it,for 2012 by helping RINO Amnesty John McCain re-election in Arizona,that door can easily include

sending Sarah Palin to the White House as President in 2012. Since John McCain has become the Albatross Of the Republican

Party after McCain joined Democrat Teddy Kennedy Illegal Alien

Amnesty Bill and earned John McCain the title of Amnesty John

McCain,here in Arizona as well. Don't blow it all Sarah Palin

by supporting RINO McCain in 2010. Hey McCain Retire!

Obama's agenda is re-distribution of wealth through legislation and social programs. Alot of people I know wish they could "Hope and Change" their votes.

Maybe Brown will look into Obama's natural born citizen status. After all, the United States Supreme Court on the first paragraph of their own website makes the following promise to the American People - “As the final arbiter of the law, the Court is charged with ensuring the American people the promise of equal justice under law and, thereby, also functions as guardian and interpreter of the Constitution.” To date, the United States Supreme Court has failed to do anything in furtherance of the search for the truth about Obama's natural born citizen status.

Why does this matter? Mr. Obama claims that he was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. As his only evidence that he meets the Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution's requirement that a President be a natural born citizen, he produced a document called a "Certification of Live Birth," which he posted on his website under the title: "Barack Obama's Official Birth Certificate."

At first blush, it is case closed. A closer examination of the facts, however, reveals that Mr. Obama failed to point out on his website that his posted "Official Birth Certificate," as he called it, is actually a 2007 computer-generated, laser-printed summary document of his 1961 vital record(s) on file with the Hawaii State Department of Health. What we do not know, however, is what 1961 vital record the Certification of Live Birth is summarizing.

In 1961 there were at least six different procedures available to obtain a vital record (birth certificate) that the Certification of Live Birth could be summarizing. Each one had a different degree of reliability and trustworthiness, ranging from credible to ones fraught with the potential for fraud. Until we examine which document is being summarized, Obama's Certification of Live Birth is not worth the paper it is printed on.

Now here is why it is important for the President to be a natural born citizen:

The President of the United States is one of the three branches of government. He is the Executive branch. The nation speaks to all people through one voice, the President's. The President can make treaties, grant pardons, sign and veto legislation, appoint a Cabinet, as well as Supreme Court Justices. In addition to these duties, the President knows the nation's most important and secure secrets, and as the Commander in Chief of the military, has the military's nuclear launch codes at the ready, and who can arguably, either take steps to weaken the nation, or even destroy it. In the words of Vice President Dick Cheney, "The president of the United States now for 50 years is followed at all times, 24 hours a day, by a military aide carrying a football that contains the nuclear codes that he would use and be authorized to use in the event of a nuclear attack on the United States. He could launch the kind of devastating attack the world has never seen. He doesn't have to check with anybody. He doesn't have to call the Congress. He doesn't have to check with the courts. He has that authority because of the nature of the world we live in." Copied with permission from http://birther.com .

Hello? She was up by almost 40% on the 19th of December. Couple that with the fact that she was up by over 15% at the end of December and you have an incredibly stupid congress and president who thought like some other idiots across the pond did over two hundred years ago. Taxation without representation has always been the problem with whoever is in office. This type of "ruling" has never sat well those who are independent by nature.

The teaparty principles are still in place in this country. If you dont understand the concept that "we don't like you spending our money for us". You will never accurately understand how the flame was fanned on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange last summer.

Don't forget this.... Coakley was a good Democrat!

You very ignorantly stated, "What's with the Democrat-Kool Aid link?". In doing so, you have proven beyond any and all reasonable doubt that you are likely mentally-ill AND doubtless historically ignorant in the extreme! GROW UP! LIKE IT OR NOT, THE LINK BETWEEN "JONESTOWN" and THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS AN ESTABLISHED and UNDENIABLE FACT. I'm a retired U.S. intelligence operative and I know first hand that the Reverend Jim Jones was given organizational assistance and funding by the Democratic party of the United States and the United Methodist Churches of the United States, a fact which both now desperately try to conceal. The Democratic party and the Methodists considered "Jonestown" to be a very promising "progressive social experiment". Don't even TRY to b/s me on the issue, I was one of the operatives who secretly monitored the group before and after they moved to Guyana. The link shows my former base of operations and the man who trained me - on several occasions, a group of us traveled to Guyana to covertly observe and record the activities in "Jonestown" - we know the FACTS - you know NOTHING. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrtrmeITQNk&feature=PlayList&p=597E6C6083F5E146&index=0&playnext=1

I hate name callers also. It is just so so sad that in todays world of 24 hour news we get to hear about everything that goes on. It would be so much easier to just remain as ignorant as you. Sometimes when I want the whole story on a particular issue I research it and then I can construct and informed opinion. I do suppose it would be easier and less time consuming to just make stuff up and cry racism but I'll leave that to you- you seem to be good at it. I'm not sure why anyone would try to tell you you are wrong. Goodness! Can't they see you are happy. It might help if you get a job and then you could pay for your kids and grand kids to go to the hospital. It also might teach them some personal responsibility. Oh but I digress- You just continue to support Obama if it makes you feel good. Also- don't forget to keep checking the mailbox maybe he'll send you some money for rent and your car payment. Keep smiling- I don't know if dental is included in the suck Americans dry plan but hopefully for you and your kin it will be.
