In the beautiful state of Massachusetts today, the bluest of blue states. A state that voted for McGovern when the other 49 went for Nixon, the home of Teddy Kennedy, JFK, RFK and Tip O’Neill... they’re going to the polls today. And by all signs they are going to elect someone who stands against everything they believe in... cuz they’re mad!
They’re going to elect a guy who is against a woman’s right to choose her own reproductive health, even in the case of rape or incest. They’re going to elect a guy who thinks jokes about sexual assault are funny. They’re going to vote for a guy who pretends to be a populist, driving around the state in a pickup truck, when the truth is he is an elitist of the highest order who wants the bankers and Wall Street fat cats to KEEP their money instead of paying the taxpayers back for bailing them out. They’re going to vote for a guy who is not only against adequate health care for you and for me, but wouldn’t even provide health care benefits to people on his staff. They’re going to vote for a guy who voted against financial aid to 9/11 workers so he could support a tax subsidized golf course. They’re going to vote for a birther, a teabagger, and someone who voted against the kind of financial aid now helping people in Haiti.
And they’re DOING this because they’re MAD!
They’re MAD at Obama for not keeping all his promises and fixing a mess that took 8 years to create in 1 year.
They’re MAD at Congress for compromising on a health care bill, taking the best deal they could get given the obstructionist GOP stance and the cowardice of the Blue Dog Democrats who are more concerned about keeping their seats than they are about doing what’s right.
They’re MAD that unemployment is still high.
They’re MAD that things aren’t the way they should be.
So they will EXPRESS this anger... this MADNESS... by voting for someone who stands FOR everything that CAUSED the things they are angry about. Someone whose presence in the Senate will not only ENSURE that nothing gets done for the next year, but will EMBOLDEN the GOP to be MORE obstructionist (if possible) and give the yapping, empty-headed main stream media noise machine more reason to declare the Obama presidency an abject failure — not even a full year after he was sworn in.
Because they’re MAD. The most progressive voters in the most progressive state will stay home and allow the teabaggers, the footdraggers, the dittoheads, the homophobes, the mysogynists, the religiofascists, the IDIOTS to send one of their own to the Senate.
Because they’re MAD!
THAT'LL show us! That'll show us ALL!!!
