Well, the dust is still settling here in MA and Mass Dems are all assessing blame and giving criticisms. Fair enough. We know MC was a lousy candidate who seemed completely disinterested in the job, didn't fight hard enough, etc. We all know what went wrong. it's pretty obvious.
So, the following day I went on a bus trip to go skiing with a local ski club. The day started with some drama once we got near the vicinity of the mountain, as our bus hit a patch of black ice, sending us sliding off the road into a ditch, nearly tipping over and smashing into a giant boulder.
we were all ok, luckily, and made it to the mountain three hours late, but it was pretty scary.
Not as scary, however, as the Republican gloating that was going on during the whole trip.
Besides delaying our ski afternoon and scaring the shit out of everyone, what the bus accident did was prolong the Conservative circle jerk that had been on display throughout the entire journey for an additional three hours.
If there is a hell, I'm sure this is what it would look and sound like.
It seems that no mater where my wife and i decide to position ourselves, it always happens that we sit in front of or behind the most obnoxious conservatives on the bus and are forced to listen to them talk politics all the way there and back.
Of course, the morning after the Greatest Victory in Republican History, this trip was no exception.
Things I overheard (and had to endure) for what seemed like an eternity on a bus drive to and from VT, from MA:
- The young couple directly in front of us excitedly telling the right wing middle aged hospital worker (!) how they had Tivo'd the whole night's events so they can go home and watch all the coverage and speeches.
- That same man then told the couple he had watched Brown's speech and said it was "brilliant."
- A young, right wing hick talked about how "pumped" the conservative activists were here in MA and said that they are immediately planning on how to "take down Kerry" next. To which he added, is going to be "easy."
- That same young man also added many fine comments he heard from Limbaugh, Beck, etc.
- The bus driver, an independent who said he voted for Obama, was "sickened" by last night's results and told the tour leader that he "didn't want to talk about it."
- a couple of old men behind me talked about what a lousy candidate Coakley was and how awful her campaign was run and specifically how she "refused to do the hard work" and how she spent all that time on vacation instead of campaigning.
- On the way home, the couple in front of me and the man seated across from them, spent hours showing each other stuff from Drudge on their iphones, to which the middle aged man said Drudge's headline of 'Great Scott' was "awesome."
- That same middle aged man also talked about how he had made homemade Scott Brown signs. One sign. he proudly noted, read 'Scott Brown- Bury Obamacare along with Kennedy.' to which they all had a good laugh. He later said his wife wouldn't let him put that sign out but that "he really wanted to." and they laughed again. get it? It's funny because he's dead! Oh, those witty Republicans.
So that's it from MA for now. Let's put these ugly, hateful, disgusting human beings out of their misery in Nov. I just cant stand it that these teabagging hatemongers are going to take over Washington this November because of the lazy, apathetic, capitulating Dem leadership. I, for one, am ready to fight this Nov. and I'm ready to start the hard work to take down Scott 'seat warmer' Brown in two years here in the Bay State. I'm so pissed that I want to start today to guarantee that he replaced asap.
I only hope that our efforts and fighting will be heard and appreciated by Dems in Washington, because right now, it doesn't look good. Goddamn it Dems, wake the fuck up already!
Ok, i feel better now. Thanks for listening, and once again, thanks to everyone here for their efforts to defeat Brown. We'll get 'em next time.
