Teabagger’s Plans Backfire With Election Of Senator Scott Brown

March 24, 2010

Whatever you think about Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown you must admit it is good to see the teabaggers all flustered and seeing red over their own action.  Remember how those who are off the deep end were going to elect Brown and thereby stop the Democrats from having 60 votes in the Senate to deny the nation health care reform?  Recall how teabaggers forgot that all we need in America is a majority vote to pass bills?  Remember how the teabaggers were going to elect people to see things their way?

How is all that going now?

Brown’s backers from the insurgent Tea Party movement want to know if they’ve been had. 

“We start to wonder whether we helped a RINO (Republican in name only) get into office,” said Tea Party activist Jeffrey McQueen, who traveled from Michigan to campaign for Brown in the final days of the Jan. 19 special election that rocked the nation.

“If it wasn’t for the Tea Party movement, Scott Brown wouldn’t have gotten that seat. We expect to see a true conservative in there.”

In fact, Democrats now say Brown’s election as the so-called “41st vote” to block Obama’s health-care overhaul inspired them to seek procedural means to bypass GOP efforts to derail the bill.

“Scott Brown’s election actually delivered health-care reform, because we didn’t need the 60 votes to make it happen. He delivered a significant victory in that,” Walsh said.

    Teabaggers are just ignorant. It’s mainly b/c they’re getting their data from Faux News, I reckon. Feeds them myth-information. They actually believe what Beck & the rest tell them, and get oh so shocked when that “data” turns out not to be how the actual world operates. It’d be sad, I guess, if so many of them weren’t armed.

    Don’t any of these people listen to campaign speeches? They got Brown as wrong as they got Obama.
    And I never understood Brown’s 41st vote rhetoric. He knew by the time he was sworn in his position on health-care reform wouldn’t matter.
    I guess some voters are just dumb?
