Take a bow but don't relax

Well Brown has won the senate seat as I thought he would. Now lets dice it and slice it a bit.
First I want everyone who has been involved in any tea party event, protest, letter writing campaign to take a bow.. It is this sort of action that is starting to ignite and inform America of what is going on. Without this kind of effort Obama and the Liberal Commies would already have us in lockdown. Thank you. BUT lets not get complacent and think the fight is over. OH NO. This war is ongoing and I feel won't go away. We are in a fight not only for our individual freedom but also for our country. Evil never sleeps.
As much as this was a very important victory we need to keep things in perspective. Please keep in mind the newly elected Senator Brown is more of a moderate. But I guess in a liberal state like Massachusetts and taking over a seat once held by one of the most liberal senators ever it is a step in the right direction. We now need to keep an eye on Brown and make sure he adheres to his campaign promises.
What I am worried about is what happened back in the 90's when the Republicans were gaining in numbers could happen again. Most on the right side thought it was great the suden surge and growth. But it was because of Slick Willy and all his misdeeds that caused politicians to move to the right or join the Republicans back then. They were riding the wave of the populist angst and the disgust of the Conservative right as we are now. And what happened? The Conservative movement that Reagan spawned gave way to moderates. And what did moderates give us? Arlene Specter, John McCain to name just two. So we need to reorganize and as we gain in numbers lets be careful who we allow in. More moderation or pseudo Republicans will doom the momentum the Conservatives are now showing and allow the Left to stay in power or grow even stronger.
So enjoy this victory but lets get back to work!

The Massachusetts Senate Election

Massachusetts.
Unless you have turned off all media you should be aware of the Senate race in Massachusetts for the seat left vacant by Sen. Ted Kennedy. Republican Scott Brown and Democrat Martha Coakley are in a tight race. BUT did you know that there is a third candidate running? Joe Kennedy, no relationship to the liberal Kennedy clan, The Tea Party Candidate as his website calls him.
Its quite sad that most haven't even heard of him. I watched the debate on C Span and didn't realize Joe was even involved because most of the questions asked were directed at Scott and Martha. When Joe was asked a question it was "Of the two candidates which one do you agree with the most?" What an insult.
Until we can treat a third party candidate with respect and give equal time we are going to get more of the same. I understand you can't give equal time to everyone running, as in California's governors race where you had a prostitute and a naked man amongst others campaigning, BUT in a three person race it can and should be done.
Either way, this does show an anti-Obama and anti-Washington race as its two against one. Republican Scott Brown and Independent Joe Kennedy both oppose the health care and the direction America is heading versus Democrat Martha Coakley who is for health care and the Democratic agenda.
This is a bellwether not only for the upcoming elections in the fall but also Obama's presidency. If Martha wins its all hands on deck and lets push through healthcare and whatever else tax or program President Obama wants. There's no stopping them. If Scott Brown or Joe Kennedy win look out its going to be a stampede from Democrats to distance themselves from Obama so they can stand a chance of being reelected.
In my opinion I believe Scott Brown will win and even though he is more of a moderate Republican, if he does this could be such a strong shot across the bow by taking a seat held for some many years by an extremely liberal Democrat that Republicans could sweep the upcoming elections and make a Obama a one term lame duck president.
