Republican Independent Scott Brown won the Massachusetts Senate seat in what is clearly a national referendum rejecting Obamacare and Obama’s era of BIG Government.
People in Mass were angry over backroom deals to cram down the socialist agenda.  The Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, and the stunning $60B (yes that is a billion) dollar payoff to unions, excepting them from healthcare taxes!  See the WSJ Labor’s $60 B Payoff.
Even Juan Williams, Fox News analyst and a constant defender of Obama, had to admit that these moves don’t look good.
For a politician who ran on “change”, I bet most people thought Obama would mean less corruption in politics, not more.
But don’t call these “bribes” or “corruption”, as Willy Brown, Dem from California, said on Hannity last night.  Bribes are illegal, says Brown, and you go to jail.  These actions are just the normal part of making laws! (Funny how you need to pass out bribes when you have an overwhelming majority!)
So Mass voters rejected this!  After having a Kennedy in the seat for decades, they sent a strong message:  We want our government back.
But will Obama, Reid and Pelosi listen? Â Will they, like Clinton did when sent a similar message in 1994, move to the center?
I doubt it.  Even before the votes were in, Democratics were heaping blame on loser Coakley for running a poor campaign.
The message line will likely run: “We have been to internally focussed on the passage of the bills (who to pay off) and haven’t spent enough time communicating our message.  Once the American people know how good our (socialist) programs are, they will come around to us.”
Juan Williams on last Sunday’s Fox News Sunday said “The American people like entitlements”.  Yep, who doesn’t like a free lunch?  But it is obvious to most Americans now that it isn’t free.  It might be free for Nebraskans, and for Union members, but we and our children will be paying for special interests forever.
In other words, the Dem leadership will not take this as a warning shot for the November mid-terms, but will double-down their bets — press healthcare harder, and push more of their leftist program.  (After all, they are smarter than the rest of us.  We just don’t understand as well as they do!)
I honestly hope they do learn a lesson.  But to the extent they continue to drive left, thinking they only have 10 months left to produce the socialist outcome, the incumbent losses in November will be even greater.  Yep, I think liberal Republicans should either get the people’s religion, or retire in favor of a more small government candidate.
Thanks to every person in Mass who voted for Real Change.

56% disapprove of Obama. Today’s Rasmussen poll shows Obama has hit another low in voter support.
Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President.
Fifty-three percent (53%) of men Strongly Disapprove along with 39% of women. Most African-American voters (58%) Strongly Approve while most white voters (53%) Strongly Disapprove.
Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republicans Strongly Disapprove as do 52% of unaffiliated voters. Forty-seven percent (47%) of Democrats Strongly Approve.
For the second straight day, the update shows the highest level of Strong Disapproval yet recorded for this President. That negative rating had never topped 42% before yesterday. However, it has risen dramatically since the Senate found 60 votes to move forward with the proposed health care reform legislation. Most voters (55%)Â oppose the health care legislation and senior citizens are even more likely than younger voters to dislike the plan.
Rasmussen goes on to note that 51% still blame Bush … so this cartoon is apt:
The rhetoric has been turned up to boiling, with Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse calling Republicans who oppose health care Nazi’s. On the Senate floor, he describes those who oppose him and Obama as Nazi’s.
They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The ‘birthers,’ the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militias and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Obama should exist.
Investors Business Daily describes what just happened this week.
• This was a vote on a Democrat-concocted scheme that Americans have rejected every time it’s been proposed for 100 years and that is opposed again, by 54% to 41% by the public at large, by 2-to-1 by practicing physicians and by every last member on the Republican side of the aisle.
• The vote was taken without any members having read the main 2,074-page bill, let alone the 383 pages of amendments that were tacked on at the last minute to buy off senators, including Nebraska’s Ben Nelson, Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu and Vermont socialist Bernie Sanders.
• Despite growing public opposition, Democratic members had the nerve to call those who questioned their monstrosity “obstructionists” and worse. Rhode Island’s Sheldon Whitehouse called health care bill foes “birthers,” “fanatics” and “people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups.” Is this what Democrats meant when they said they seek bipartisan solutions to the nation’s problems?
• The bill contains at last count 18 new taxes totaling an estimated $406 billion — including significant new levies on those earning less than $250,000, a major breach of Obama’s pledge not to raise taxes by “one penny” on those in that income group.
Is it a crime to oppose this? As far as I remember, we still have freedom of speech. For how much longer, I wonder. Unless we act, free speech will be curtailed, as Obama and his socialists do not relish being “unloved”.

It’s December. Â Time again to look at President Barack Obama’s popularity, according to the folks at Rasmussen.
Wow! a 35% swing in just 10+ months! And most of that big move has come from the Independents who voted for BHO last November. Seems the change we thought we would get was not what BHO wanted to do. Like take over every aspect of our lives!
Not surprising, if you look at another interesting graphic:
The Obama White House has very few people(the smallest in history) who have practical private sector experience.  What we have is a bunch of egg-heads that think government is the solution to EVERY problem we face:  global warming (if it exists), jobs, health care, banking, cars .. the list is … literally .. endless.
They consider the massive debt to be an academic abstraction .. not realizing the dire and long term consequences of their actions.
Our only hope is a sensible senate, and a big sea change in the 2010 elections.

Finally the New York Times has noticed that government is too big, too intrusive and too vague. Â The net result is that it makes all of us felons.
If we all (inadvertently) commit a federal crime, or 2 or 3 a day, then all of us are vulnerable.  Any government body that decides they don’t like our position on any issue can use the force of government to charge us with a crime.  And it is likely that, because of the broad and vague nature of the ever expanding federal government, we are guilty of SOMETHING.
Harvey Silvergate has written a book called “Three Felonies a Day” that covers this topic in excellent detail.
No social class or profession is safe from this troubling form of social control by the executive branch, and nothing less than the integrity of our constitutional democracy hangs in the balance.
A number of cases are now in front of the Supreme Court. Â Let’s hope they knock down the oozing of federal intrusion into every part of our lives.
Here is a Cato Institute interview with Harvey Silvergate on his book.
