Mr. Brown Goes to Town

With the election of Scott Brown as a senator from Massachusetts many have tried to draw lessons for Democrats nationally while some insist there is no lesson nationally. I see some very important lesson for liberal Democrats, especially President Obama. Here they are:

· You cannot govern from left of Massachusetts without consequences. Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts are just the beginning. We are not France or Denmark. We are right of center and you are not just out in left field, you, Mr. President, are not in the ball park.

· President Obama, you recently said, “The same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office. People are angry and frustrated.” You are right. Bush and the Republicans spent outrageous amounts of money. Many of the states that voted for McCain sent Democrats to Congress, just to try something new. Now you have done Republican sins times ten. What did you expect?

· Picking a fight with Fox News was stupid. It beats all the other cable news channels combined every night while your precious Air America dissolved in bankruptcy this week. Where do you think most people heard about Scott Brown?

· Your elitist hubris offends voters. Making fun of Mr. Bown’s truck reminds us of how you bemoaned how the common plebes “bitterly cling to their guns and religion.” Making fun of and attacking citizens protesting your policies is not a strategy any president has ever employed. Hate us if you will but we still get to vote.

· Million, billion, trillion; it matters which one you use. Mr. Brown was sent to Congress largely to keep you straight on that. We cannot afford Obamacare, Cap and Tax or any of the other socialist crap you keep trying to stuff down our throats. And while you’re at it, why don’t you, just for a change of pace, propose something that at least 50 percent of the country supports?

· I know it did not occur to you to use ACORN in Massachusetts like you did in Minnesota but if you let them anywhere near the 2010 census, we will call for your impeachment.

· Mr. President, you lied about earmarks, putting lobbyists and tax cheats in the government, and open-door meetings on TV. Didn’t you think we would notice? If your policies were so wonderful, why do you have to bribe lawmakers to vote for them. Mr. Brown was sent to stop this crap or at least keep it from passing. Would you have actually signed the Cornhusker kickback into law?

· Very high in the polls in Massachusetts was the incompetence this administration has used in fighting terrorists. Shutting down New York for your date night was bad enough, but shutting it down for a show trial of terrorists who already confessed does not play well outside of Tehran. The way you coddle terrorists has got sales of “Depends” disposable underwear sky rocking in the Middle East (some of those terrorist leaders are quite old and making them laugh so hard at your ludicrous policies gives them bladder-control problems) but can you not find a better way to stimulate the economy.

· And while we’re at it, it’s the economy , stupid. Trying to spend our way to prosperity is stupider. Try tax cuts. It’s so simple even Sarah Palin could to it!

· Stick a fork in you legislative agenda; you’re done! Enough government intrusion; enough socialism. Go play golf in Hawaii or tour the balconies of Europe where they love you. You might be surprised how much the economy at home recovers while you are gone.

· Most of all, get to know Scott Brown. Love him or hate him, come November we have about fifty more like him coming to a Congress near you.
