[...] apparently got their way last night in Massachusetts, helping elect a Scott Brown, a right-wing ideologue well to the right of most to occupy Teddy Kennedy’s long-held but absent Senate seat. Mitch McConnell and his merry band [...]

The difference between Scozzafava and Brown is that Scozzafava was to the left of the district while Brown is to the right of it. There is ample evidence of this. The eventual Democrat winner had to deceitfully tack far to the right of his actual positions in order to eke out a small win over the Conservative nominee. Had the GOP and Conservative lines run with one candidate, this would have been a win for the GOP.

Scott Brown’s libertarian challenger is polling about 3%. There’s no credible challenger to his right. This is why I predict that Brown will have a lot more slack than predicted by the article.

Richard Bottoms - Many dictatorships have elections. In them you get to choose the only guy on the card. For some reason he gets 100% of the vote….even if 95% where write-ins for “Please, anyone else”.

Massachusetts is a one party dictatorship.

Funny, I thought people didn’t have elections in a dictatorship. Interesting link, now how about one to the cases Republicans have successfully brought proving voter fraud in Massachusetts.

Surely someone must have caught one of those busloads of undocumented workers being brought in to vote we hear about ever election.

As you said it’s about the level of fraud. If it were anything more than a few cases of felons voting when they shouldn’t I would expect it would be on the front page of the Wall Street Journal or the Boston Globe today.

Is this an overblown threat or is the GOP just inept?

As much as the Democrats are entrenched in this state I think there are plenty of other states out there in a Republican “dictatorship”. It’s true that we have had one party power for a long time, and its decried every election season, but now that Kennedy is out there might be time for a change in this state since the love-affair is hopefully gone. Scott is building momentum here, something that might not have happened with an active candidate but Coakley has always shown herself less than active, though the party is pushing - I’ve had 8 calls from various Republican organizations just this past weekend.

Regardless of the percentage of voter fraud, it is a certainty that the system would be improved if more people, from both sides of the isle, volunteered to be poll watchers on election day. I think that the registration process varies from district to district, so you’ll need to check with your commissioner of elections to find out how to volunteer.

Three for three in the idiot department.

Rick, I can see that you are feeling better.

Everyone that reads this article or visits this site should read American Thinker’s article
http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/01/fabian_conservatism.html

and stop quibbling over what ever hairs are split regarding the the GOP. The bottom line is the GOP needs to do what the Left has done — always advance their agenda, never retreat, never surrender.
