Democrats are SCARED!!!!

This is the week the special election is held in Massachussetts to fill the seat vacated by the death Sen. Ted Kennedy and Democrats are out in force trying to ensure they don't lose this seat!
At first glance, it seems that the liberal Democrats simply don't want to lose any power by having the senatorial seat go to (gasp....dare I say it??) a conservative Republican!!! But it goes way, way beyond that simple thought. The Democrats initially thought they would have an easy victory with Martha Coakley(D) but they have realized the election of Republican Scott Brown would do more than just take a seat of power away from them. In addition, there seems to be a ground-swell of voters leaning toward Brown in light of the highly dismal performance record, integrity issues and voter anger plaguing the Obama administration.
Brown, who has been able to use these issues to gain support has vowed to vote against the healthcare bill if elected. He would take away the critical 60th vote needed by the Democrats to pass the bill which has been kept on life-support by closed-door sessions, lack of transparency as promised by Obama and back-room deals. One must remember how desperately this administration wants to "be the one who passed healthcare reform" so they can use this platform to appear compassionate, "in-step with the American people" and get Obama elected again in 2012. Never mind the widely known and published fact that the majority of Americans don't want this healthcare bill being shoved down our throats. This is especially poignant since Congress has exempted themselves from the very bill they are trying to force on us! Most Americans do admit that healthcare reform is needed, but not the way the Democrats in Congress and our all too eager leader in the White House are trying to craft it. A loss in Massachussetts would also signal the third in a series of wins in which Democrats were highly expected to win, but instead lost to the opposite side of the aisle.
So how have the Democrats been dealing with the growing fear they might actually lose this seat in Massachussetts??? They have launched an enormous attack campaign against Brown and tried very hard to paint him as being one in the back pockets of special interest groups, Wall Street, bankers etc. (Perhaps they should look first at their own party in this respect? For instance, Tim Geithner, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi etc...) They also have crafted a plan to get the bill passed before Brown actually gets sworn in....just in case he actually gains a victory! According to the Associated Press (Press Enterprise - Jan 18, 2010) this plan would be to have House Democrats accept a bill the Senate passed last month despite their own objections to several parts. Then Obama could sign it into law without another Senate vote needed. House leaders would then urge the Senate to make changes later under a complex plan that would only require a simple majority vote. (Can you say, "Do it now, fix it later!"?)
Does this set off alarms in anyone else but myself??? Let's look at the situation shall we? We have an administration that seeks to enact what is essentially an unconstitutional bill (it is unconstitutional to require someone to purchase a particular good or service simply because they live in this country) with measures that the majority of the American people don't want. They have hammered out the deals behind closed doors, in secrecy, in spite of repeated vows by the President that the proceedings would be open and transparent. (Why? Because they know that if the average citizen really saw what was going on, they would be up in arms about it.)They are running scared and are viciously attacking the opponent in Massachussetts. They have crafted a plan to enact an unconstitutional bill anyway in the event that the GOP candidate wins, thereby thwarting his constitutionally-granted right to vote against it. Does this sound like good government of the people, for the people and by the people to you? Does it sound like integrity and true concern for the good of the American citizens? It doesn't sound, look or smell that way to me!
Lastly, it will be interesting to see what happens simply from past experience with the elections in New Jersey and Virginia. Remember those? Obama lent his "star-dom" to the campaigns of New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine and Creigh Deeds in Virgina.....both of whom went on to lose their respective elections! Now Obama has brought his oratory talents to Massachussetts to help Martha Coakley. If I were her, I'd be a bit scared and wary of the outcome. Of course on my side, I hope that we see a "third in a row" this week, a mandate by the American people. I wait with bated breath!!
