Bill once again you are going off half cocked. This is why you are going to lose your own election SOON.
Brown's campaign said most of his small staff are contractors who already had health insurance. Those who did not were paid more to allow them to purchase coverage under the Connector -- a system set up under Massachusetts' landmark health care reform. Brown has supported health care in Massachusetts, but opposes a similiar national plan and promised to be the 41st vote against it; Coakley has promised to be the 60th vote for it.
"This is a silly issue. The small group working on the Scott Brown campaign either has existing insurance or were compensated sufficiently to purchase it on their own," Brown spokesman Felix Browne said in a statement.
I am getting tired of your lies and socialist agenda.
What about this Bill. This is an actual CRIME, but you fail to report on it.
Brown’s campaign filed a criminal complaint against the Massachusetts Democratic Party for sending out a campaign flier that accused Brown of wanting hospitals to turn away “all” rape victims, a major misrepresentation of his position. The front of the mailer has photos of dozens of women and says, “1,736 women were raped in Massachusetts in 2008. Scott Brown wants hospitals to turn them all away."
When Mr. Obama addresses Coakley supporters at Northeastern University on Sunday, one can only imagine the bitter flavor that will hang around his mouth, as he sings the praises of an individual who apparently turned her back on him early on in campaign 2008.
I'm sure there HAS been a nastier, more negative, more dishonest campaign than Martha Coakley's, but I can't think what it was.
AG Martha Coakley will be in Pittsfield on Monday from 12-1pm at the American Legion on Wendell Ave. The buidling is just down the
street from the Berkshire Antheneum.
Please stop by to ask the following questions :
Seven reasons why Martha should not be senator
The Big Dig tunnel collapse (shameless corruption and cronyism of the very worst kind) ?
Coakley's shady deal with a notorious pedophile (John Geoghan)?
The financial disclosure "mistake" in which Martha Coakley failed to list $200,000 to $250,000 in assets on her financial disclosure forms for the Senate race ?
Her failure in the Henry Louis Gates arrest in Cambridge last July?
The Louise Woodward case?
The Menino ?emailgate? affair
Former state rep Mark Howland wind turbine fiasco leaving Bristol County residents out millions ?
Keep on keepin' on, Ms. Coakley. That's how elections get lost.
Ms Coakley is the wrong candidate, ran a lousy campaign, took the voters for granted and now finds herself in the race of her political life. Lot of lessons here no matter who wins.
Go Brown.
Two horrible and minimally qualified candidates for Senate. Another example of how the right people are not interested in political office. Two hideous terms of extreme right wing politics by Bush that has ruined our economy for decades to come. And left us with endless wars and human tradgedy. One partial term of extreme left wing polilitics that presents a high risk set of solutions to the failures of the previous 8 years. Risks that, if wrong, add to the massive problems left by the republicans. Best of the 2 bad choices is Coakley because the republican policies are proven disasters.
Calling all idiots!
In the ST today, Brown runs a full page ad telling voters he wants "to change business as usual" in Washington. Haven't the republicans run Washington for 8 of the last 9 years? Help me out with this idiots, because I simply cannot figure the math out.
Haven't the republicans run Washington for 8 of the last 9 years?
If you knew anything about Senate rules you would know that a supermajority (60) is the only way a party in power can jam legislation down the throats of America. Bush never had a supermajority, nor did Clinton and plenty of GOOD legislation was passed.
I do not want either party to have a supermajority, in fact the last President before Obama to enjoy a supermajority was non other than Jimmy Carter and we know how that worked out.
This Senate with a supermajority is dangerous, they have already proved that by doubling the national debt in 1 year.
Brown (if elected) cannot jam legislation down throats, nor can he bring back the Bush doctrines.
Coakley will march in lock-step with Obama further destroying our nation, our money, and our lives.
The filibuster is not in the constitution...get rid of the 60 votes and move toward a 501 majority...PROBLEM FIXED
Calling all idiots!!!!
Its the same change Obama has brought to Washington after those eight years.. oh that's right, Washington hasn't changed.
Sees like its a fancy clogan that just isn't practical.
Patrick told us four years ago that "Together we can".. Well Governor, Together we didn't. You'll be gone in eight months.
This campaign is depressing. You have Brown telling lies out of both sides of his mouth and you have Coakley thinking she can get elected by just campaigning (until lately) in the Greater Boston area.
I'm sure it must be legal for Mr. Obama to leave the governing of our nation to come to Boston to stump for Ms. Coakley, but is it ethically legal?
By the way, whose funds is he using to traipse down to Northeastern??
No one likes or admires a negative, mud-slinging candidate and campaign.
Is that a Democrat's trademark? I caught some "joke" Mr. Obama made regarding Scott Brown's pickup truck. No class.
Are these same dopes complaining about Tax payer money being spent for Obama to come to massachusetts, yet NEVER heard from these dopes on here when Bush was eating Birthday cake for McCain during Katrina...YOu guys are SO freaking one sided ...IT IS PATHETIC!!!
Hey Bill - how about a thread titled:
"Coakley's campaign thug roughs up reporter while Martha looks on"
Or how about:
"Coakley not so artfully dodges a question about her statement about all the terrorists are out f Afghanistan"
Or maybe:
"Coakley states Catholics should not be working in emergency rooms"
I've got a few more but mabe you could fit these in between now and tomorrow. Thanks.
Gee, I don't think Bill had a blog here during the Bush-eats-birthday-cake-for-McCain-during-Katrina incident that you are referring to.
So, 8:39, how can some "dopes" post "on here" when this blog wasn't even in existence when Katrina hit?
Do you not reread your posts before hitting "publish"? Your post can be interpreted two ways, or don't you realize that?
or bill could start a thread stating Brown doesn't support 9/11 volunteers due to lack of funding all the while earmarking money for a newton golf course
The election is over, the PEOPLE have spoken.... Get over it.
Brown is a nice looking man, and just like Palin gets a lot of attention. He will be tested to see if he can deliver for MA. The voters in MA are frustrated just like voters all around the country, but change doesn't happen overnight. It took eight long years to get us in this mess. Politics=slow process...now even slower if Dems and Reps cannot work together. History tells me that most of the time they can't or won't work together.We lose.
Eight years to get us in this mess? More like 8 months.
