Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, January 8, 2010, 11:44 PM
“I will stop it.”
Republican Scott Brown told Sean Hannity tonight that he would be the 41st vote against Obamacare if he is elected to represent Massachusetts in the US Senate.
Brown was just awesome on Hannity tonight.
Here is the entire interview:
Brown said he would not just be a rubberstamp for democrats like his opponent Martha Coakley but would continue to be a “Scott Brown” independent Republican. Brown also mentioned that he won election to the Massachusetts Senate by 20 points in 2008. Brown has climbed back within 9 points in the race.

More… Today Democrat Paul Kirk told the State House News service that he would continue to serve in the United States Senate until the health care vote is taken if Scott Brown wins the election.

Go Scott!
Maybe Mass will wake up after the Kennedy Nightmare
Scott commented:
I think he’s a powerful candidate precisely because he is not towing the line of either party. He will filibuster the healthcare disaster, but he won’t necessarily be a reliable Republican vote on issues unrelated to healthcare. That seems to be a good strategy for someone running in Taxachusetts.
MA independents and conservatives can get this man elected. Vote, blog, call your friends!
Derek commented:
Hopefully Massachuetts gets a clue and votes for Brown. Common sense is a powerful thing!
Jayne on the left coast commented:
How can Paul Kirk stay in the Senate after the election? Is he just blowing smoke out of his butt.

Brown ROCKS! Like the bloggers at Hillbuzz say, he is Senator Hottie McAwesome!!!

This is what Scott Brown said at the debate in Springfield tonight: “We can go back to the drawing board on the healthcare bill. As the 41st Senator I can tell them to do better and try again and get something like we have in Massachusetts.”

Boston Herald is reporting MA Gov. Deval Patrick will not certify election if Scott Brown wins until AFTER the health care vote.

Is SEIU Behind Anti-Brown Push Polling?

sandy commented:
I think the Republican Party will have something to say about Patrick not certifying the Election until after Healthcare is voted on if the winner is Scott Brown. This is like window replacement during an Earthquake.
What are they going to do when this Healthcare Bill is challenged in the courts? Cause this is only the beginning of the challenges to this Unconstitutional Bill. If any of you read Peggy Noonan’s article today in the WSJ which was posted on Drudge called The Risk of Catastrophic Victory–it says it all. CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT.
sandy commented:
Chisum — that would be a fair bet. Eric Holder certified that Acorn was innocent and was going to continue to receive their Govt. Money and Acorn is a part of the SEIU.
sandy commented:
Its interesting what a difference a year makes. With one bill the American people have seen this Democratic Congress is so determined to pass this rotten bill that they don’t care what they have to give away or who they have to destroy to do it.
We will remember in November.
Chisum commented:
Sandy,
SEIU involvement doesn’t surprise me. Gov. Bill Richardson’s does.
He seems to have his tentacles everywhere. He is a scumbag!
noislamocommie commented:
Does anyone know the legal maneuvering in a case such as an intentional delay of swearing in of Scott? What can scott do to serve justice on these deranged cockroaches?
independence commented:
As a matter of principle I can’t vote for anyone backed by one of the two major political parties. That’s just throwing your vote away. No, I’ll keep voting for the underdog until these parties break down. It’s our only hope to get back to the way the founders intended it. They were against political parties. The parties have too much power and they keep us fighting against each other. Face it. Bush screwed us, the bailouts were his socialist idea. Obama has screwed us giving us one socialist proposition after another. If capitalism is to prevail then we need to get back to representatives who work for the people, not a political party who claims a particular platform. The dems and repubs are exactly like each other. Stop letting them divide us. A vote for either one is a vote thrown away. Another vote for socialism, as they are both “progressives.” Vote outside the box until your congressman answers to you again. Then you can vote for the candidate with morals instead of political ties. There, I spoke my peace.
aprilnovember811 commented:
If the Governor of MA refuses to certify him until after the vote, I predit the citizens of that state, will revolt. The party that calls itself democrats, are a crime syndicate.
JenBee commented:
Wow I really like this guy! I wish I lived in MA so I could vote for him!
Opus #6 commented:
What can be done to prevent the Criminal Elite from delaying Scott Brown’s swearing in?
Ghandi did pretty well using Sit-Ins.
CDR M commented:
Can MA recall their governor if he starts to hem and haw the election results?
Adjoran commented:
Patrick and the Democrats are stupid to admit what they are going to do if Brown is elected, but that doesn’t mean they can’t do it. All they need is some BS group to claim election irregularities, pay for a recount or something, and they could have defended the delay on legitimate grounds. Now that they’ve admitted what everyone would have suspected but been unable to prove, they will suffer some PR damage from it, but probably not significantly more than they will suffer by passing the monstrosity in the first place.
One Way commented:
It seems there’s a communicable disease running through Democrat office holders. It started at the highest levels in Washington and appears pandemic at this point.
Time to identify and isolate the carriers. It’s deadly.
chili palmer commented:
No one is afraid of what is termed “the Republican Party,” especially a Massachusetts governor. The GOP is at best an embarrassment and always supports Obama when it matters most. People who recently voted on the republican line in, for example, the New Jersey election, did so only because “the Republican Party” does not exist in that state. Should anyone on the right be elected in Massachusetts in the near future, it will mainly be due to the fact that the republican party is non existent in that state as well.
inspectorudy commented:
My God! The pols in Mass. are so sure of themselves that are threatening to stall a confirmation of Brown if he wins! Do you people who live in Mass. approve of being treated like morons? After Kennedy’s death the legislature change the rules for electing a replacement Senator. You just sat there like turds. This was so un-American that I almost wept. Don’t you feel anything for your country any longer? Do you know the history of your state in the founding of our nation? You produced some of the most heroic and patriotic people in our nations history. Do you think Coakley ranks up there with these patriots? Please, for God’s sake elect Brown and if he is not what you want in Congress vote him out of office in 2012.
Stephen commented:
Call me a realist, but unless Brown wins by at least 2% of the vote, nothing will happen in order to stop Obamacare. The left will cry recount for months in order to keep Brown out of power given the carbon tax on the back burner (despite record cold). The closening of the polls will also mean all of the LWL’s (left wing loons) will be out in force to vote for the dead and those who never existed to begin with in order to skew the result.
Not to mention this will only intensify the ‘secret negotiations’ and ‘justify’ going to ever greater lengths to reconcile the bills ASAP even if it means doubling or tripling the bribe money, so long as it can be voted on before the special election. These people have no shame, never did and unless by an act of God, never will.

I came here to post the Patrick article. UGH, I just want to scream. I already envision suitcases of votes in trunks, etc. Another Franken fiasco. FFS, make it stop.
thiacyn commented:
Wow he said that she is acting like a lawyer and not a patriot! Zero points on her! Get her out of this ballpark! We don’t need no more stinkin non-patriots!
Heidi commented:
I love this guy! I hope the great citizens of Massachusetts see the great opportunity they have to save all of us. Please vote for Scott Brown!
Freddy commented:
Looks to me there will not be a vote in the US Senate until after this election. If Brown has won, then there will be no vote on helathcare until AFTER he is sworn in.
While Harry Reid can bribe a few senators to vote his way, it seems implausable that every senator would be so desperate as to ignore the will of the people AFTER an election.
Freddy commented:
I hate to double hit, but ….
I wonder if Paul Kirk can legally sit in that seat after this election? Seems like he may be gone with the election, NOT when Reid and company swear in the next senator. Of course, I do not have a copy of the recently butchered Mass law regarding this detail.
jerryl commented:
yes karen #25,not to worry we dont hold it against you as long as you dont hold spector or murtha against us in PA i too gave to brown and sure hope he wins !!!!!!!!!!!

mikesilver commented:
Karen, I won’t hold CA against you if you don’t hold my two Georgia senate idiots against me. I contributed as well.
Militant Conservative commented:
mikesilver, only one idiot senator in Georgia. That is Sacsby Chambliss. Erickson not so. I.m OK with replacing both of them though just to keep new blood and good ole boys moving.
I think Scott Brown will win but have the seat taken from him because of coruption. Stimulus monies will be spent in 2010 for all these races to buy votes. Last free election was 2009. powder is dry.
turfmann commented:
In order to seat Kirk in the Senate, the Democrats had to change the law (with a letter written by Kennedy presented posthumously if you can believe it) dealing with filling senate seats from a special election to a gubernatorial appointment followed by a special election. What’s worse is that the law was originally gubernatorial appointment/special election until Teddy requested the law be changed because we were in the midst of a string of Republican governors (Weld, Celucci, Swift, Romney) and he and the rest of the Democrats didn’t want them appointing a Republican. So this whole mess is much worse than it appears at first glance; they have been scamming the system for a long time.
There is very good news to report here on the ground.
First, Martha Coakley is just about the worst possible candidate the Democrats could have selected. She is a hack of the first order dragging the chains she has forged in life behind her. Do a little research on her role in the Fells Acre Day Care witch hunt, her unconscionable refusal to prosecute Father John Geoghan seven years before he was finally brought to justice (how’d you like it if one of your kids was a victim of Geoghan in the interceding years between Coakley and prison?), the case where a dad beat the crap out of a child molester attacking his kid in a bathroom – and Coakley prosecuted the dad – and the molester went back to work. You can’t make this stuff up. Fortunately, she has decided that the path to the Senate is to rely upon the (D) after her name and gender politics in order to ascend to the Senate. She has never served in a legislative role.
But this is not an election in which you chose the lesser of two evils. We have been given ample reasons to make an affirmative choice in voting for Brown. He has served in elected office from the local level, to the Massachusetts House and Senate, running as a Republican is an area that in part sends Barney Frank to Congress. He knows how to run a successful campaign as a Republican in a state where there is scant evidence of a Republican party.
I have been making calls from the local phone bank for Scott and I am surprised, no shocked, by the positive response that I am getting. I own a professional lawn care business so I have spent many, many nights banging the telemarketing phones trawling for customers. I know what it’s like to call people when not invited. There is incredible enthusiasm coming through handset – people don’t even let you finish the canned presentation before interrupting to say that they are behind Brown. His appeal transcends political labels.
I think that the momentum is definitely behind Brown at this point and that there is little that Coakley can do to stop it. She has sat on the sidelines at parade rest while Scott has been putting in 20 hour days asking people for their votes.
The news last night that Kirk was going to remain as Senator in spite of a possible Brown victory is shocking to say the least. After my blood pressure abated, it occurred to me that he was accepting the premise that Brown was poised to win the election. What are the internals telling the Democrats in order to make Kirk say that?
J commented:
And that one statement, alone, will assure that Brown is not elected. The dead will rise, the illegals will be bussed, he will not survive. And, if there is a chance at all, the national dems will make sure he is not seated. Let’s face it people, last november the USA voted in rulers and now we must pay the price.
FedUp commented:
Jerryl – makes you want to cry, doesn’t it? MA has a REAL CANDIDATE, a great family and the values I wish we had here in PA. Maybe WHEN we get rid of Arlen, Casey and Fast Eddie we can rebuild.
I donated to Scott as well!
TaSS commented:
turfmann,
First of all, if this is the first election you have gotten involved in, good for you. The system works when we work it.
The only way this is not going to the lawyers is via a landslide, and even with overwhelming votes, the democrats are going to do everything they can legally
(and marginally unethically) to stall Brown’s seating.
That of course is IF Brown wins.
The democrats ONLY have regards for the law when it suits their purposes.
Hedgehog commented:
As an escapee from Massachusetts I am encouraged by the possibility of a Brown victory. I too have donated, and I volunteered to make calls from home to support Brown. Go to his website. Send his campaign a few bucks and volunteer. This is critical to the country. We can all help. If we sit on our hands, we’ll have only ourselves to blame.
Tom commented:
He needs to stay off of Hannity. Let the sleeping dogs stay asleep. Now they will say he is crazy republican. I know that isn’t true but why give them any chance to get people who are apathetic a reason to vote.
WC commented:
From
http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/resources/pdf/Vacancies.pdf
***************************************
Appointment of Interim Senators. Prevailing practice is for state governors to
fill Senate vacancies by appointment, with the appointee serving until a special election
has been held, at which time the appointment expires immediately.
***************************************
So according to their own rules as of Januray 20, Kirk is out of the senate leaving dems with 59 if Brown gets elected.
Jaynie59 commented:
Brown won’t win. I have no idea if regional ratings are done, but I would be willing to bet that almost nobody in Massachusetts watches Fox News at all, and even those who do sometimes watch it would NEVER watch Hannity. Sean Hannity is considered a Boogie Man around here.
I live in MA and I am on the email list for my local TEA Party group. I got an email this morning from them that featured Joe Kennedy. While it had one sentence mentioning Scott Brown, there were no links to his campaign. There was, however, a link to Kennedy’s.
With a Kennedy on the ballot, many people will simply vote for him. Very few people will bother to find out that the Joe Kennedy running as an independent is no relation to the Kennedy’s. I did follow the link and discovered that this Joe Kennedy is actually adopted and has no connection to the other Kennedy’s.
Coakley will win easily.
Chisum commented:
Jaynie59, would you mind sharing that letter?

Gov Deval Patrick (D, MA) just gave the GOP three more House seats.

Mr. Steele are you engaged with the special election in Massachusetts?How are you allocating reources :money, volunteers,and your voice to Mr. Browns election?
Mr. Steele after the NY23 election you would think that you would be a student of history and feel the pulse of voters disgust with politics as usual.After Mr.Kirks comments is the Constitution and the will of the people,a priority for you?
marie commented:
The best thing we can all do for Scott Brown (for those of us who don’t live in MA) is donate to his campaign. I have, although it wasn’t much. But I’m looking at campaigns that could make a difference and putting my money there. It all adds up.

Wow, what a bunch of Eeyores we have in this thread. Well, seeing as some of you here also are familiar with the Hillboyz, here’s a nice thing the wrote that applies to this thread, I think:

the Dems will not swear him in until February 20th if he wins.

Please vote for Scott Brown! Please send a generous donation to him. He says that he’ll stop Obummercare! He’s a good choice.

GO SCOTT!!!!!
We need you…Let’s send a message to Obama, that his policy is not acceptable.
Massachusetts residents we need Scott to break the bleak jobs outlook. Obama has done nothing to inspire business to make investments and bring this economy back. Obamas policy is not the change we were looking for.
