Congressman Ron Paul’s toll-free message: 1-888-322-1414. The Texas Republican primary is coming up in March and it appears Dr. Paul will have a pseudo-Republican or two running against him.
A typical whiney liberal take on the Scott Brown vs. Martha Coakley U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts:
“Everybody loves Doug Flutie and Curt Schilling, big Brown supporters. But they’re millionaire recipients of the Bush tax cuts Brown likes, not middle-class working stiffs getting hammered by them.”

It’s still G.W. Bush’s fault - everything is.
Martha Coakley was correctly perceived as a liberal elitist.
At the pre-election debate at the University of Massachusetts, Ms. Coakley walked past two men on the sidewalk holding up campaign signs supporting her. She ignored the men, walking past them as though they weren’t there. You’d figure she would nod their way, maybe even speak to them. Not Martha. A few minutes later Scott Brown walked up to the two “Coakley U.S. Senate” sign holders and stopped and said hello. Do you see a little difference in style?
Surprisingly, the two men told Scott Brown they both were going to vote for him, not Martha Coakley. The men explained: We’re in the union and they paid each of us fifty bucks to stand out here in the cold holding these signs and we figured we’d take it. On Tuesday, count us in. We’re voting for you, not Coakley. Good for them. They took the union’s money but not their political advice.
Apparently Scott Brown has the most famous pickup truck (a GMC with 201,000 miles) since Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton. Despite being outspent by Coakley by more than three to one, Scott won the race handily.
Demoleft politicians are retiring all over the place in D.C. and statehouses around the nation.
“Nobody buys that these folks are leaving to spend more time with their families. It’s plain that Democratic lawmakers are reading the writing on the walls (and the polls): voters are fed up with the Obama administration and with the Democratic Party.”

Sometimes it takes the public a year or two to catch up with reality.
The Air (head) America liberal talk radio network has finally shut down and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation.
Former Georgia Governor Roy Barnes endorsed John Edwards for president on October 18, 2007. Voters should remember that when Barnes comes at them with a new pitch in this year’s governor’s race. Polls supposedly show him running even in the 2010 contest, but all polls showed him winning reelection eight years ago. He lost, and it wasn’t close. Remember, every poll showed Barnes winning in 2002. Every poll was wrong.
