Scott Brown: "I Spoke to Interim Senator Paul Kirk & He Has Completed His Work" (Video)

From Senator Scott Brown’s Victory Speech: The first call I made was to his wife Vicki Kennedy. I honor the memory and pledge to be the very best and try to be a worthy successor to the late Edward Kennedy.

We ran a race that made all of us proud. I thought it was me against the machine. I was wrong, it was all of us against the machine. And now we are the machine.

I spoke to interim Senator Paul Kirk and he has completed his work as a senator. I want to thank him and the people as you know by the votes have filled the office themselves and I am ready to go to Washington without delay.

The crowd was chanting, “Gas up the truck… Gas up the truck.”

It means a lot to me that my mom, dad and brothers and sisters. His wife and daughters and neighbors back home.

When I spoke to the president I asked him if he’d like me to drive my truck down to Washington DC so he could see it.

Senator Brown thanked Mitt Romney and Senator John McCain.

Here’s more from Scott Brown’s speech, via The Corner:

Fellow citizens, what happened in this election can happen all over America. We are witnesses, you and I, to the truth that ideals, hard work, and strength of heart can overcome any political machine. We ran a campaign never to be forgotten, and led a cause that deserved and received all that we could give it.

And now, because of your independence, and your trust, I will hold for a time the seat once filled by patriots from John Quincy Adams to John F. Kennedy and his brother Ted. As I proudly take up the duty you have given me, I promise to do my best for Massachusetts and America every time the roll is called.

I go to Washington as the representative of no faction or interest, answering only to my conscience and to the people. I’ve got a lot to learn in the Senate, but I know who I am and I know who I serve.

I’m Scott Brown,

I’m from Wrentham,

I drive a truck, and I am nobody’s senator but yours.

Thank you very much.

paraphrased…

Our Constitution and laws are to protect THIS COUNTRY, not our enemies. Our tax dollars should be used to purchase weapons to fight our enemies, not to pay lawyers to defend them.

I love Scott Brown.

This was El Alamein for the Obama administration. Just as in late 1942 when the British–for the first time–defeated the Nazi armies on the ground. So now has the first defeat been dealt to these totalitarian socialists. The WWII battle ended the dreams of the Nazis in acquiring the Middle Eastern oil reserves and the strategic Suez Canal, just as Cap-and-Trade is dead now while Obamacare is in serious jeopardy.

Also, the WWII battle permanently put the Nazis on the defensive, and given signals such as the Coakley campaign and the White House blaming each other for the defeat, it appears that this is setting in as well. Although this isn’t the end, it’s a prelude for the elections in November, just as El Alamein was a prelude for the collapse of Italy and for D-Day.

Totalitarianism has been halted and now comes the task of driving it back to the corrupt Chicago city center from whence it came. It won’t go quietly or without a fight but it will go, it has to. Even now the totalitarians have reverted to the ‘blame Bush’ which has nearly gotten as insane as blaming ‘the Jews’–and shows how they are collapsing.

SO HUGE !

Take that Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama!

“anyone can buy a truck”

Three Cheers for MASS, who join Virginia and New Jersey in returning the USA towards sanity.

The DNC Titanic is sinking us all, and it is clear, Americans are not happy with it.

The old tax, spend, appease, lie agenda of the Democratic Party is a disaster.

Time for sincere change.

Again, hats off to those whose state STARTED our revolution and are continuing to do so (why’d ya’ll wait 40 years though? ). Hopefully, the folks in my state wake up and kick Roland Burris the hell out and then lil’ Dick Durbin.
Again, great job and congrats to Brown.
