In discussing senate races, it would only be fitting to first discuss what has become quite a race in MA. The fact that Scott Brown (R) is within single digits of Martha Coakley (D) says wonders about how fed up Americans are getting with the liberal-statist majority. Most polling has the two in a dead heat at this point.
It cannot be overstated how important this race is. If Brown could pull off the upset on January 19th he would eliminate the filibuster-proof majority the democrats have in the senate. The only question at that point would be whether the liberals delay his swearing-in in order to pass their unconstitutional healthcare plan.
Here is where they stand on the issues:
SCOTT BROWN (R)
Healthcare- Supports healthcare reform, but against Obamacare.
Economy- Supports lower taxes and free market
Energy and Environment- Supports alternative energy development, is against Cap and Trade Legislation.
Education- Supports choice throught charter programs and METCO, providing lower income students with more educational opportunities.
Immigration- Opposes amnesty, and believes in strengthening border enforcement. Supports legal immigration.
Veterans- Supports better benefits for returning service members and for family members of those killed in action.

Marriage- Believes in traditional marriage, but believes individual states should be allowed to decide for themselves.
Israel- Supports Israel, supports a two state solution

From a conservative standpoint the choice here is obvious...LET'S GET SCOTT BROWN IN THE SENATE MASSACHUSETTS!!!
Martha Coakley can't even spell M-A-S-S-A-C-H-U-S-E-T-T-S
By the way, I just love negative attack ads which make idiotic statements like, "candidate umptyfratz will deny medical care to rape victims." REALLY!!! HONESTLY!!! Does anyone seriously believe any candidate, democrat or republican, would support such a thing??? How stupid do politicians really think we are??
