I know that I have been obsessing lately about the United States Senate race. But this thing has really hit my hot button... you know... the button that gets pushed when people try to manipulate others by lies and deceit.
~
I'll admit that I'm really in an uncomfortable state of agitation.
~
Some of the attack ads are sent in by national interests who have keyed in on this race, and those ads can't be blamed on the candidates.... except for the one that starts with "I'm Martha Coakley, and I approve this message." Then the ad goes on to depict a women who ostensibly has just been raped.
~
As my friend, Harvey, has said, "You can't make this stuff up." But it looks like Martha is trying to. But ultimately the manipulation will turn to self mutilation.

Knee Jerk
Without thinking, Coakley moves to discredit. You can see why she favors attack ads. I just fear that she is part of a machine.
- There was a great comment on Fox this morning. Massachusetts is not a blue state. It's a Red Sox State... Martha! How do you spell Massachusetts?
Case for Brown
The machine that changed the rules to put Paul Kirk into the US Senate seat has a lot of work to do this weekend. We've got Clinton and Obama taking time out of the Haitian disaster to tend to this other earthquake.... the unimaginable thought that the Massachusetts electorate might give the senate seat held by Ted Kennedy for the last forty years to a Republican.
~
Rest assured, after they make the plea for Martha and she loses, it won't be any reflection on them. They will blame the loss on Coakley's weaknesses as a candidate, and not the misgivings of the Obama startup, or the manipulation of the Senate seat by Duval Patrick..
~
Man.... I'm sure they didn't see this coming. But they should have. The people of Massachusetts have always found a balance over their party affiliation. Guys like Ed Brooke, Ed King, Mitt Romney, Bill Weld, Paul Celluci have broken the mold with messages that resonated with the Massachusetts voters.
~
And that is is case with Scott Brown

And that is is case with Scott Brown
- He wants a well thought out health care approach - and not a power play jammed down our throats.
- He wants terrorists tried in a military tribunal, not with all of the privileges of the US citizens that they are resolved to annihilate.
- He is a free enterprise advocate who believes that lower taxes can encourage economic growth.
- He is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army National Guard, who has won the respect and endorsement of Police Unions across the state.
- He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and his family seems to be a solid hard working unit.
- Wicked well put.
~Pat, when you look at the list of Republicans that Mass Voters have sent to statewide seats, it seems like really bad advice to run ads denigrating Scott as a "Republican". You have to wonder who is pulling the strings for the Coakley strategy.
Nice Evening
Tonight we had dinner at Maddies with POTY, Jeremy Johnson's Mom and Dad, Dale and Gail, then headed over to the Harbor Light Inn for a nightcap.

Senate Shoo In
The Massachusetts Senate Race is being looked at nationally as a referendum on Obama Care. This headlong rush by the Democrats to stuff a pork infested Health bill that has huge fiscal implications down our throats will be their ultimate downfall.
~
The people voted for Obama for change, not a pork fed, self destructive trip to financial oblivion.
~
I'm no prognosticator, but the Democrats have run into a buzz saw with Scott Brown, who can take the heat and send it back. At this point, I think he will win even if I didn't give him the Nanepashemet Endorsement.
~
Although, since I did..... he is a shoo in.

Issues of the Senate Candidates.
If you go to the Coakley and Brown websites and look at the how they examine the issues, it's clear why Martha Coakley has taken the low road in this campaign. Martha articulates so poorly. She should take the time to spell out what she believes, and stop acting like this Senate Seat is a Democratic birthright.

I read what they said, not what mud has been slung about them.

Haitian Hardship
It's hard to get a handle on what's happening in Haiti. I don't understand how such a horrendous earthquake can be so localized. And I've seen the Media reporting the death toll at 100,000 one time and 500,000 at another. Our prayers reach out for those unfortunate families in Port Au Prince.
- Once again nature kills in seismic proportions. For sure this tragedy may rock our faith in a higher power, but it will never diminish our faith in human kindness. Prayers said are prayers heard….God please bless the victims, the survivors and all relief efforts.
Off the Wagon
I went off the wagon yesterday.
~
Big Time.
~
The first time in three weeks since I started this calorie counting business.
~
It started in the morning when I had some english muffins for breakfast and didn't work out on the Cybex because I had to leave for a customer meeting at 10:30 AM. We decided to work through lunch so we brought in pizzas for everybody. I had four slices and a diet Coke.
~
I still had a chance to salvage the day if I jumped on the Cybex when I got back to my office at 3:00PM, but had to get on a conference call at 3:30 that stretched for an hour.
~
By that time, I went up to see the grandkids with Joanne, and their uncle Mike showed up to have dinner with us. So I had roasted chicken, stuffing and salad that sent me way over the calorie budget. With a couple of after dinner drinks, I was completely busted, so I had a nacho snack before finally going to bed.
~
A 3500 calorie day when my budget is 2200 calories! I am weak and a bad man.
~
The good news is that I'm down 10 lbs. This calorie counting system works and I'm getting back in the wagon today.

Chicken Little
Remember two years ago??? We were supposed to all die of Bird Flu.
~
Then this year... we shifted to the Swine Flu which was supposed to be a global pandemic which would wipe a lot us out. Obama was teaching us to sneeze into our sleeves.
~
All the while, global warming was supposed to be killing us as soon as the polar bears were done in. Al Gore won an Academy Award because of it. The problem here is that it is freaking cold out there, and the European Global Summit in Copenhagen was snowed out. Florida fruit growers are going to be hit hard with frozen fruit due to the plunging temps.
~
Not to mention the myth that the American Health care system doesn't work, and that the Democrats will "fix" it.
~
Do you ever get the idea that the leftys are trying to scare the shit out of us? Kind of like, create a problem then offer themselves as the solution.
~
How many times do they expect us to swallow this Chicken Little, the Sky is Falling, Bullshit???
~
Let's send them a message from Massachusetts next Tuesday. They have the audacity to think that the US Senate seat that has been occupied by Ted Kennedy is their heirloom. Let's vote for Scott Brown and shock the shit out of these phonies.

- I am so glad that this blog supports Scott Brown. I cannot stand Martha Coakley!!!
Big Momentum
With less than a week to go in the Massachusetts US Senate special election, Scott Brown has tied Martha Coakley in the polls.
~
Obviously, the Nanepashemet Endorsement has put Scott in front of the Big Mo.
~
Coakley attack ads accuse Brown of being anti-liberal. That he actually doubts that Global Warming is caused by humans. That he wishes to kill Obama Health Care. Thanks for clarifying that.
~
Keep those ads coming Martha. We didn't give that seat over and over to Kennedy because he was liberal. He got the votes because he was a Kennedy, and you are no Kennedy.
~
Those lefty ads will sweep Brown comfortably into the seat.

Inflated Accomplishment
Martha Coakley keeps running these television advertisements about how, as the Massachusetts State Attormey General, she has saved taxpayers a Billion Dollars, tamed the banks and insurance companies.... yada, yada, yada.~
Martha.... if you were that good, don't you think that you would have gotten the Nanepashemet Nod???
~
If you did all of the good that you say you did, it would be a tossup between canonization as a living Saint, or coronation as our new Queen. You would have been toasted and feted at every turn, instead of running scared as Scott Brown closes the gap in the polls.
~
So maybe there is a little Bullshit being slung here....
~
You should tell the people what you believe in, and what you would do as our United States Senator....not regale us with tales of your self indulgent superhero feats.
~
Don't embarrass yourself.

Half Marathon
Ryan put in 13 miles on the Fort Devens track in 1 hr. 49 min. today. I think his secret plan is to kick some Kenyan ass in the Boston Marathon a couple of years hence.
~
Or maybe he has another secret plan.
