The political ads, the robocalls, make it all go away. I am also really sick and tired of so many people who don't know squat about our state talking out their asses about us. Make it stop! :banghead:

7. GO DEMS!
Many are being influenced by the media who is really owned by wealthy people that vote for the right! the farce of the media being left is just that-a farce!
the right makes it's bones by stirring the pot to disrupt anything that takes money away from their grubby hands!
I found this and thought it pretty well summed up how the majority feel!
Your search - It was only too easy to demonstrate through the "Simplest of Logic" to even the stuanchist Fundie Voter how they were voting against their own economic self interest by voting RATpubliCON. However they would do it anyway based on what ever "Emotional Issues" the GOP could frame the debate on. Now the RATpubliCONs have succesfully "Framed the Issues" as the "GOP against the Democrat Spending Machine" in light of the MASSIVE deficits and FAILED economic policy of the last administration. Sorry - but I blame the DEMs for not distancing theirselves from their corporate handlers. Make no mistake, the RATpubliCONs will be Pure Disaster should they regain control. But the Dems failed the test when it came time to stand up to Wall St. and fight for the Working Class. If the S&L Bail Out of the 1980s, Enron Fleecing investors and Utility Rate Payers of 100s of $Billions of dollars, and finally the “Wall St Melt-Down of 2008”, IF does not serve as a Gospel like Eulogy of the Failed policies of Reagenomics and the Trickle Down Theory – I don’t know what does -
AMEN TO THAT!
BUT PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE-TAKE A FRIEND WITH YOU!

3. Now we know how NH feels . . .
;)

I want all these out of state teabaggers to go home. If Martha Coakley loses, the gasbags will be all over the television advising all Democrats that they have to move right to survive. Perfect.

4. Why did your state put up a dem for Stupak?
Couldn't they find a real dem?

5. Martha IS a real Dem
Here is a classic example of what I was talking about in the OP.

6. She isn't for Stupak?
CNN was reporting on it this morning and saying it might be a reason she wasn't doing as well as she should in Mass. Your response is a classic example of what I also see on DU all the time: No answer, just snark.

13. She said she would not have voted the House bill because of Stupak

That is how much you are wrong. You just accuse without knowing. At least ask.

15. Screw you. Martha Coakley IS a real Democrat. She's more progressive
on gay rights, health care, Wall Street oversight, and a host of other issues than 70% of the Dems in the Senate.

She's not losing because of the positions she took on the issues. If she loses it will be because she ran a horrendous campaign.

8. I just voted the quickest vote of my life. In=out, 4 minutes tops.
More signs for Coakley with a fair number of people coming and going.

I'm not 100% sure about MC's stand on our-almost worse than nothing-healthcare bill but would never vote repub. I hope she wins and does not disappoint us. As for Brown, the is too Romneyish for me to think twice about, rethug or otherwise.

Amen for the end of phone calls, I just got another one from Citizens for America(Coakley). Told them I voted. Please let that be the last call before I take the phone off the hook.

12. Caller ID is very helpful in that regard
If the call is not from someone I know, I let it go to voicemail. I've gotten voicemails from Martha, Bill, Barack, Nikki, and a host of Coakley volunteers.

11. Sorry, you'll have people calling you to raise money for the recount for nearly a year.
At least, that's what happened after the Minnesota election.

14. Yes, yes, yes, this, A THOUSAND GODDAMN TIMES THIS.
No more ads, emails, robocalls, ANYTHING. I can go out in public and not puke my guts out every time I see a "SCOTT BROWN FOR SENATE: HE HAS NO ACTUAL RECORD, BUT MARTHA COAKLEY WILL EAT YOUR CHILDREN" sign.
