Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
The Massachusetts special election is a Tea Party dream come true! They are even referring to it as the Boston Tea Party. Best of all, the margin is large enough to call it 52% Brown - 47% Coakley.
Tomorrow I will be watching the Dow. I'm thinking it will be up again in anticipation of ObamaCare's demise?
I am also wondering if more Senators will jump ship now that they know ObamaCare is unlikely to pass the Senate. Why stick your neck out if you know it won't pass?
Why stick your neck out, indeed, if you know that a Republican just won in the very blue state of Massachusetts? No doubt, there will be concern over seating Scott Brown before moving forward with ObamaCare. There will also be increased concern over deficit spending and shifting of tax burden to the states connected with their version of health care reform. These 2 issues could provide a gracious turnaround on a former yes vote.
Still, I hate to count chickens before they are hatched. Democrats are so desperate to pass something, they are again talking about using the nuclear option or the House passing the original Senate version.
But for today, I'll breathe a sigh of relief, because of the Brown victory. To think a year ago, tomorrow, Conservatives like me were grieving over the inauguration of a president we knew would push a socialistic agenda. Who in their wildest dreams could have predicted this upset?

I am absolutely thrilled with Scott Brown's win in Massachusetts. The timing is perfect. There will be huge consequences in November if those pushing Obama's very liberal agenda ignore this stark warning.
Best regards.

Olympics, Copenhagen, New Jersey, Virginia, Ma. Not much capital left.
Missed hearing from ape-man. Maybe he's back at the San Diego Zoo visiting relatives. Although I have repeatedly suggested diction classes.

Yesterday's downturn was attributed to the "possible cutback in lending by Chinese banks..." Today's downturn is "U.S. stocks fall sharply Thursday as the Obama administration outlines plans to impose new restrictions on banks." http://markets.usatoday.com/custom/usatoday-com/html-story.asp?markets=DOMESTIC&guid={E1B367AB-F958-4C01-8D95-D95B98405C6A}
Taxpayer funding of abortion via ObamaCare has ALWAYS been a negative.

But your prediction fell flat on it's face. It was made without any aforethought regarding our "global" economics. (THAT was here long before Mr. Brown had a dog in this fight.) It was made in a fit of glee about what you percieve as a turning point in your fight against forced health care, etc. Admit it.
