just voted for kennedy, brown voters willing to admit it?

[lester1/2jr]

I just voted for the CORRECT liberty candidate not sister sarahGOP's awful choice Scott Brown

anyone else vote today? In their old middle school or some other building in their assigned area

[dannno]

Great job.

[jclay2]

good for you....Bump for not giving in to the republican/democrat/good/evil/third parties will never happen mantra that I am so sick of.

[tmosley]

In that case, I would much rather hold my nose and get someone who will vote against health care rather than splitting the vote.

That is a rare case, though. It is best to do something ASAP to paralyze the Democrats to stop them from doing any more damage than they have already done.

But then, there is something to be said for letting the fools destroy the nation while we build our base, and then seize power and restore freedom.

[LittleLightShining]

Thank you :)

[sarahgop]

why did you vote for coakley and deathcare?

Exactly voting against Health Care is more important to me right now. What good does it do to support a sure loser if it will guarantee socialism? I am all for reforming Republicans and challenging them in the primaries but I am not willing to let a bunch of radical socialists run my life so I can protest every GoP candidate that get's selected.

My freedom in deciding my own health issues is WAY more important. As a rule I am all pro liberty candidates, but when my freedom is on the line I will do anything to preserve it. This movement does great things, it's already impacted the GoP alot...I hope it continues to do so, however it's vital to derail the leftist steamroller right now....it's the most urgent issue.

[nobody's_hero]

I think the only important issue in this race, at this point, is how well this Kennedy (good Lord, how many people in New England have that name?) fellow does.

That's the only way we're going to know if the people are waking up and realizing that the two parties are just the wolves fighting over the lambs.

[dannno]

why did you vote for coakley and deathcare?

Why did you vote for death to foreigners?

Brown isn't even against government involvement in healthcare... HE'S FOR GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT IN HEALTHCARE.. He's just saying he won't vote for Obama's plan just to get elected.

[ItsTime]

Kennedy did not take any votes away from Brown. In fact he may take away more votes from Coakley than Brown just because of his last name.

[LittleLightShining]

If conservative libertarians keep eating GOP shet that's all they're going to serve you.

[dannno]

I think it would be hilarious if Kennedy ended up taking the vote in a landslide just cause of his last name :D

Yeah it would, lol. Even he probably wouldn't believe it.

folks, get a good gander at the cosmo thread! it just might be real!

[parocks]

folks, get a good gander at the cosmo thread! it just might be real!

Scott Brown was voted Cosmos sexiest man of 1982. This is not news, except to a few people here that really haven't been paying close attention to this race.

[lester1/2jr]

why did you vote for coakley and deathcare?


because of you. that's the reason

[lester1/2jr]

Aratus- I think that had been established previously. that I was the heavy favorite to win that year is not why I voted against him today. My vote was ideological

[Goldhunter27]

Heading down to the school to vote in about 5 minutes. My votes going to Kennedy.

[No1ButPaul08]

voting for Kennedy is fine and all but one can still have a preference on who they want to win between Coakley and Brown. This choice isn't even close it's Brown by a mile.

[nobody's_hero]

Someone managing the facebook page "Joe Kennedy for Senate" posted this 5 hours ago:


For those who don't think we are raking in Democratic Votes...we wanted to share an email - we have many but this is the most susinct: I voted for you, Joe, and no surprise there. MY WIFE did, also, and she's quite the socialist-leaning Democrat. You impressed her with your classiness, your cogency, and the fact that y...ou aren't a gigantic sleazebucket like either of the other two :-) -name omitted

http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=256302686126&id=141067507133

Of course, I hope Joe didn't write this himself, cause the spelling isn't very succinct.

[LittleLightShining]

First, lester, you are a riot! Post more, please!

Good on you, Goldhunter.

I would vote for Joe but I still kind of hope Brown wins. I mean, it would be great if Kennedy won but he won't. Wouldn't stop me from throwing my support his way. What I really hope is that Brown wins AND Kennedy has a good showing. That way liberty candidates and Independents in general don't get slapped with the spoiler label in November.

[catdd]

Kennedy did not take any votes away from Brown. In fact he may take away more votes from Coakley than Brown just because of his last name.

Possible.

[Elwar]

I just voted for Brown...


by choosing UPS over FedEx :)

[Goldhunter27]

Just got back. When I was standing in line to have my name crossed off for the second time this little old lady, maybe about 80, was next to me. I wouldn't usually look at someone's ballet but she was practically waving it in my face. I was shocked to see she had Kennedy marked in.

[lester1/2jr]

goldhunter- that IS shocking. I'm anticipating a tiny fraction of the overall vote.

My guess is Brown is going to win. I dislike him but hopefully he will manage to put the final nail in the coffin of obamacare which it seems no one except paul krugman wants at all.

[Cowlesy]

Alright, Kennedy votes, I like it.

(don't worry, brown's gonig to win)

[tonesforjonesbones]

Lester..way to be a martyer...way to accomplish absolutely nothing! Good job! TONES

[lester1/2jr]

tones- way to miss the whole point of the ron paul revolution

[LittleLightShining]

Lester..way to be a martyer...way to accomplish absolutely nothing! Good job! TONES

I don't think you get it so I'll say it again. If people keep eating the GOP shet that is all that will be on the menu.

[georgiaboy]

no Brown votes on here so far.

With all the threads back-n-forth on this race, thought there'd be a more even representation at this point.

kennedy ftw.

[tonesforjonesbones]

lester..no. The point that RON PAUL made was to stay in the republican party and change it. Tones didn't even do that...I went to the libertarian party. I will still vote for a republican and I don't consider republicans the enemy. I didn't get that at all from ROn Paul's campaign. it's going to take a long time to turn things around. I am going to vote for republicans if it will make a big impact such as this race in Mass. I would vote for Kennedy if he could win, he can't win. I'm not going to throw this race to be a martyer. I would vote for Rand, or Schiff..etc etc. We have got to do something to end the democrap socialist supermajority. This is not the time to play games. I can't vote for either because I'm in Florida..but my moral support goes to Brown this time. I will support Kennedy later. tones

[lester1/2jr]

We have got to do something to end the democrap socialist supermajority.

why? they aren't any worse than the republicrap fascist majority.

I liked ron paul. I didn't like anyone else. I don't care about politics. I want to destroy politics

[tremendoustie]

why did you vote for coakley and deathcare?

He didn't -- he voted for Kennedy. Contrary to your myopic view of the world, the only politicians and ideas in existence are not those of the republicans and democrats.

Little light shining had it right -- keep eating the GOP's crap, and that's all you'll get served.

I can understand those who would vote for Brown in this particular election, simply to throw the Democrat super majority and maybe stop health care. I don't agree with them, but I understand.

I can't respect those who continually sell out principle for the "lesser of two evils", nor those, like you, who denigrate the people who do stand on principle.

[tonesforjonesbones]

Yes they are worse than the republicans..FAR worse than the republicans. Why do you think 60% of the independents supported Brown? The filthy left has done NOTHING to make foreign policy ANY better matter of fact they have expanded the war. For some reason you folks have been brainwashed to beleive that the republivans are the enemy. They are not. They believe in 80% of what we believe...the democraps...they aren't even in the ballpark. Bill Mahr is NOT your friend. TONES

Because she thought she was voting for Ted. Like I stated earlier Coakley will lose votes because of Kennedys last name lol.

[Dieseler]

Lolz.

No, tones. Neocon Republicans believe almost nothing that I believe. They believe in endless wars, an omnipotent police state, supposedly "reasonable" gun control laws, globally managed trade, corporate welfare, "pro-business" regulations, otherwise fascist economic policies (including the healthcare industry), and replacing high taxes with high borrowing rates to fund gigantic spending budgets. Please point out exactly which of the above Ron Paul believes in.

The Democrats pay lip service to ending the war and police state, but expand them in reality. The Republicans pay lip service to reducing socialist/fascist economic policies, but expand them in reality. Other than which freedoms they prioritize taking away from us above all others, what is the difference between the two establishment parties as they stand today?

+1 to that

The republicans, under Bush, increased government many times more rapidly than had ever occurred under the democrats.

The democrats are certainly not my friends, but neither are the republicans. The republicans don't hate big government -- they just sing that song and dance so they can get in charge and make it their big government.

Libertarians applaud Joe Kennedy for standing firm
Jan 15, 2010

WASHINGTON - The Libertarian Party (LP) today expressed its support for independent Libertarian Joe Kennedy's determination not to drop out of the Massachusetts special election for U.S. Senator.

The New York Times recently published an article that considered Kennedy's effect on the January 19 election. While some claim that Kennedy will steal votes from Republican Scott Brown, others think his strong support for civil liberties and his anti-war position will cause him to steal votes from Democrat Martha Coakley.

Wes Benedict, Executive Director of the LP, commented, "In fact, no one is 'stealing' anything. The votes belong to the voters, not the candidates. If voters choose Kennedy over Brown, it's probably because they understand that Brown is a typical big-government Republican. If voters choose Kennedy over Coakley, it's probably because they understand that Coakley is a typical big-government Democrat."

Benedict added, "If the next Massachusetts senator gets elected with less than 50 percent of the vote, blame the foolish plurality election system implemented by Republicans and Democrats -- not Joe Kennedy."

I think most of us agree with this. I think Ive been pegged as a Brown supporter because I want to see him beat Coakley.

[klamath]

with a few exceptions most of the people that supported the logic of a brown win did not attack those that wanted to vote for Kennedy. Seems to me the Kennedy people were attacking the brown people a lot more.

[Bman]

Good job not wasting a vote on Code Brown, or The Croak Monster.

When there's a better option than an R or D it's best not to waste your vote.

That lady was not voting for Joe Kennedy the Libertarian who is no relation.

The confusion was going to be among 80-100 year olds.

well voting for a neo-con is voting for a neo-con. we are not attacking,just saying you get what you vote for a neo-con. so if brown wins i hope everyone celebrates that they just voted in a neo-con, 2 steps forward, 2 miles backwards, YEAH can i get a hell YEAH , more of the same. brown voters should be proud of voting in a neo-con!! hell they should work for the failed gop and promote neo-con policies. thats where we are again. back to square one.

reminding folks they are voting in a neo-con that supports the failed policies we do not support is not what i call attacking. it is called reminding them of lesser of 2 evils still gets you evil... yeah for evil

all i have said is if you vote for a neo-con you get neo-con policies. so if brown wins we should celebrate with the neo-cons and let them know to continue neo-con policies yeah...;) win for the failed gop,loss for liberty by voting lesser of 2 evils.. you get what you vote for a republican neo-con.

And republicans like Brown support everything bad that the democrats support. Government run healthcare, bailouts, cap and trade. Brown is just opposing Obamacare to get votes. He knows that it's now basically what he supported in Massachusetts and I think deep down you know that too. Glen "I support Rick Perry" Beck is not your friend either. I hope Brown wins, but not for the myopic reasons you've listed.

I'm confused supporters and people who voted for this Brown guy do they realize he supported ROMNEYCARE? Brown served during Romney's administration supporting and voting for billions in additional spending, millions of dollars in fee hikes and the socialized healthcare system known as RomneyCare.... lol RomneyCare forces individual mandates upon citizens of Massachusetts resulting in steep penalties for those refusing to pay.

RomneyCare has skyrocketed insurance premium costs doubling the national average while extending wait time for doctors by weeks and sometimes months!

Folks the neocons and liberty lovers who voted for this guy got CONNED.... SO basically he's for ROMNEYCARE which is pretty much the same thing as OBAMACARE... the only difference is the title... "obama"care he's against haha....

What makes you think a freshmen republican senator with a senate still controled by 59 democrats is going to set the agenda and pass romneycare? Do you really think that those 59 democrats are going to pass a republican proposed healthcare plan? Get real.

[libertarian4321]

why did you vote for coakley and deathcare?

I believe the proper hyperbolic term used by Sarah Palin and her ilk is "death panel."

If you want to use a stupid Palinism, please, get it right.

[Coogan]

Good job Tones. Some here seem fail to realize that you are no asset to candidates running in Republican Primaries if you hate the Republican party. Your pragmatic approach is the one that can help candidates such as Rand, Medina, etc. gain legitimacy as Republican candidates. As such, they can win over allies that share most of your opinions and thereby win elections. The other approach is to settle for zero impact and the political embarrassment of getting only 1% of the vote.

[lester1/2jr]

he got 20,000.

theres 20,000 cool people in MA and 2 million morons.


he should run again in 2012 and we should make it a point to get twice as many votes.

parocks don't let me forget in 2012
