Reply #6: She's Losing Because People Were Lied To [View All]

[MannyGoldstein]

As a Mass resident, here's what I see:

Pretty much everyone agrees that we were blatently lied to. We were promised change, but got more of the same: more of our money shoveled at bankers, more war. Obama promised he'd fight for a public option for health care, and now spins the bald-faced lie that he never campaigned on the public option. More than $10 trillion of our money risked so that bankers can get astonishing bonuses, yet the entire working class gets less than 10% of that.

Understandably, most of us are mad as hell.

Diehard Democrats won't vote for Brown, but most of us have little stomach to continue these shenanigans by putting another pretend-Democrat in the Senate, particularly after being to told by the White House that we're of no relevance and should &#$% off. We'll mostly vote for Coakley, but we won't work hard on getting others to vote.

Those outside of the Democratic core are lodging their protest by voting for Brown.

Dr. Dean said it best: "We all voted for change we can believe in. If we don't get it, we'll get some more change in 2010." Consider this a preview of 2010.
