Mr. Brown - may I call him Scotty? - I mean, Scotty, is just so seamless and consistent when it comes to politics. He campaigned opposing the current Obama-care policy because it will raise taxes. Duh! This is no way reflects his support for the 2006 Massachusetts law mandating everyone get health insurance because that was the private market dictating coverage - unlike what appears in today's Senate bill. It's just an established fact that insurance companies have had no say in the debate over health care reform now that Socialism is controlling the White House. I mean, even Scotty's quote is very clear:
“In Massachusetts, 98 percent of residents are covered by insurance through our own state reforms. The plan is not perfect, and we need to get costs down, but we have already achieved near-universal coverage. There is nothing for us in a national plan except higher taxes and more spending to finance coverage expansions in other states. It’s a raw deal for Massachusetts,” he said.Massachusetts plan good, national plan bad. So I can see Scotty's consistent point on that one.
Additionally, my Scotty is not just an Independent, but fiscally conservative. Back in 2001 he justifiably denied financial aid to Red Cross to rescue workers on the 9/11 recovery efforts because at that same time, he had a budget and that budget required unavoidable cuts, not tax-subsidies. Priorities people!
In summation, Scotty's win is a big win for independent thinkers like us here at the CLF. We've achieved in dismantling the one-party rule in Washington, thus eliminating a filibuster proof Congress, and paving the way for a huge comeback in 2012. It also doesn't hurt to be totally hot in a completely tea-bagging kind of way.
*sigh*

Scotty is right...Mass has a good program. But you know what will probably happen...all the dang poor liberals in economically disadvantaged states (aka where the people are too lazy to get big paychecks)will probably move to Mass. It would be a shame if all of a sudden the poor moved there and overwhelmed the Mass system rather than staying in their own state and toughing it out. Oh well, there really is no reason to get a federal healthcare system to treat people in every state, right where they are. Too many healthy people would probably put doctors and hospitals out of work anyhow
Right on wfp! The health care system is a business and for it to stay in business, then people just need to be sick. End of story.
And maybe states do need to start succeeding from the union so that they can have their own style health care and keep all the worthless out of their state. The federal gobment sure isn't interested in states rights, as we can see from Obama-care.
Wow, look at all the good news we had lately. Scott Brown won in Mass, which will defeat this government takeover of Maek's Medicare. Also, the wonderful SCOTUS ruling that finally granted our downtrodden corporations the full right to free speach (i.e. money) Now we can root out all the commies that McCarthy wasn't able to get rid of before he succumbed to the evil nectar (i.e. alcohol)
Hey, can you make that centerfold picture of Brown a little bigger?
I knew you were gay, Winston. It's ok, god still loves you. BTW, lust is a sin.
Reggie - I am so excited about the SCOTUS ruling. Obama was so out of line for doubting their ruling. He said himself that government needs to create jobs and I for one am excited for the ruling...all by itself, this ruling will create all sorts of jobs! Bankers will be put back on firm ground as more money will be flowing from corporations to politicians. There will undoubtedly be increased transportation needs as corporate representatives travel in and out of DC via limos and corporate jets. Those folks will surely need to stay somewhere so hotel workers will have additional employment opportunities. And politicians and lobbyists will need entertainment so gentlemen's clubs in the area should see a boom. So, I see all sorts of jobs created with this ruling as well as a better communication pipeline between companies and government. And common folks will see such a benefit with their new job opportunities. I suppose we will see training programs abound as well...we'll need more bellhop and housekeeping training. I have even heard that some places offer classes in pole dancing already. Clearly they will need to expand their offerings as well. This new economy will be full of so much opportunity!
You are right on wfp. Couldn't have said it better myself. You just fit right in with us at the CLF. I can see you as a regular contributor, seriously. With my long ours at the IT dept, Michelle's difficulties in handling Spencer's rage, Marvene's preoccupation with the 700 Club, Fuido's downright laziness and sloth, not to mention Winston's mysterious appearances and disappearances, there hasn't been much contributors to the CLF lately. You are a much needed shot in the arm, even if its just in the comment section. Thanks again wfp, and remember...you keep conservatives using freedom :)
Oh no Reggie...!you keep conservatives using freedom
Thanks wfp. I do like to think of my self as a keeper of freedom for conservatives. :)
Still, you did not respond to my none-too subtle invitation to become a posting member of the CLF family.
Reggie - I am a simple man...I mean it...really really simple. Anyhow, your invitation seems pretty clear now that you mention it outright...
As I think about it, I consider WWSPD? Just what would Sarah Palin do if presented such an offer? As I understand it, her going rate for an East Coast speaking engagement is $100k. She generously gives a $25k discount for West Coast speeches (it costs a lot to fly a private jet from Alaska clear to the East). As I am on the East Coast, I could probably pick up some of her extra work and maybe still have time to write an occasional piece for CLF. But let's make no mistake, if I have to drive the 1994 Dodge Caravan much outisde of our state, the speaking price is going to have to go up! On those weeks, I might be a less active participant. Anyhow, the intial consultation fee will be waived for CLF. Have your people get ahold of my people and we'll work out the details of what would be expected of me (and my Dodge!)
wfp, I am sorry for the confusion. My invitation was merely for posting rights on the CLF. You have a brilliant political mind and think you could contribute to our high-minded discourse. I cannot promise you any funding. However, there is no travel required as the internet brings everything home. We all do this for free, with the exception of Michelle's husband Kevin, who charged us a pretty penny for accounting services. Some members (Oma) are still bitter about that. Michelle will not be bringing Kevin to our dinner this year for fears of unleashing Oma's 2nd Amendment rights (again). So please, any more discussion on payment for services needs to be kept on the down low, if you know what I'm saying. Sorry wfp, I don't mean to be player hating, I'm just keeping it real.
I am sorry for being circuitous as well. I would certainly not expect any payment whatsoever if I were to write. My long winded statement was only to say that as a potential fill-in for Sarah Palin at East Coast engagements, I might have periods of time where I am particularly busy and may not be able to be as active in posting. Aside from that, I would only hope to be treated with the same respect that Sarah Palin herself would garner (and of course, I have absolutely no doubt that you, who keeps conservatives using freedom, would show just exactly that much respect). Maybe we can chat more on March 1!
