Scott Brown: Obama not invited to this party

[KansDem]

Source: Boston Herald

Surging GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown yesterday warned President Obama to “stay away” from the Bay State during his roiling race against Democratic rival Martha Coakley and not to interfere with their intensifying battle in the campaign’s final days.

“He should stay away and let Martha and I discuss the issues one on one,” Brown said. “The machine is coming out of the woodwork to get her elected. They’re bringing in outsiders, and we don’t need them.”

Coakley’s campaign showed signs of panic as they scrambled to get a last-minute appearance by Obama to bolster their effort before Tuesday’s election.

Some polls are showing the Senate contest far closer than any pundits expected, and Coakley in danger of losing her clear shot at the historic seat.

FOX News picked up the story on its website but altered the headline to read:

GOP Candidate Warns Obama to 'Stay Away' From Massachusetts Senate Race
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/01/14/gop-candidate-warns-obama-stay-away-massachusetts-senate-race/#discussion-form">FOX News...if you're so inclined.

"Stay away?" Brown is quoted in the BH as He should stay away and let Martha and I discuss the issues one on one," Brown told the Herald. Doesn't sound quite as tough as a "warning to stay away." I mean really, a "warning?" What would happen if Obama appeared with Coakley? What would Brown and the GOP do? Have a tantrum? Take their ball and go home?

[sui generis]

1. awww -

who cares what Scotty has to say.

[meegbear]

2. They’re bringing in outsiders?

Is that why you're having Boston native Rudy Giuliani to stump for you on Friday?

[KamaAina]

28. I'd pay good money to see Rudy in a Sox cap

:P

[nyy1998]

32. Believe me, we Yankee fans disowned him after his disgraceful

response on whether he was rooting for the Red Sox in 2007. It sickens me everytime I see that political hack at Yankee games.

[Tesha]

44. He's "projecting" again. If it weren't for outsiders, he'd have no campaign at all.

It'd be poor Scott, his pin-up photos, and his pickup truck.

But thanks to outsiders, he's blanketing the airwaves every
evening.

Meanwhile, Coakley thought she could just "phone this one
in". Did she not realize how much attention the national
Republican Party and all of their friends could focus on
her one puny special election???

3. This was the funniest Scott Brown moment this week in what has been

one of many. A warning? Or else, what? Ever since Martha Coakley asked you about your own ammendment to deny contraceptive care to rape victims at a hospital because of religious beliefs, you have become completely unhinged. You even had your daughters come out for a no questions press conference to thrash Martha Coakley over the coals for asking you about YOUR OWN AMMENDMENT!

[fascisthunter]

18. yee-up... he can't stand scrutiny

[Jefferson23]

4. LOL, what a jerk. n/t

[mahatmakanejeeves]

5. "... let Martha and I discuss the issues...."

Martha and me.

[nolabear]

6. *snort!*

[TommyO]

25. Yet he has his daughters shill for him

while shying away from his anti-woman, anti-health care stance.

[BonnieJW]

26. But isn't that what Gops do??

Cheney hiding behind Liz, McCain hiding behind Megan, Georgie hiding behind Barney?

[Gemini Cat]

7. Haha! What a moron.

[ORDagnabbit]

8. Laugh and Belittle it all you want but then ask yourself... why hasnt President Obama gone to MA?

[Tempest]

11. Why should he?

Coakley has a firm lead in all the polls but one and she's doing fine without him.

[Fearless]

16. Well look at the demographics of the voting public in MA...

Those that would support Obama are already voting for her. She needs to garner support from the more religious and the more rural voters. Obama would be very polarizing in those areas. Granted I believe she'll do fine without the -- predominantly Western MA -- more conservative vote, it doesn't hurt her to try to appeal to them.

[Arkana]

46. Coakley's FROM Western MA.

North Adams, actually. She won it overwhelmingly in the primary.

[Fearless]

50. I know...

I said the "Western MA conservative vote" not the "Western Mass, therefore conservative vote".

[stuart68]

22. Afraid of backing another loser

NJ, VA, Olympics.

Being seen with Martha if she in some weird way lost would not be good.

[judesedit]

45. Well, we'll just see what the future will bring. Wont' we?

If Obama hadn't done something to try to bring the Olympics here to create many jobs, the GOP would've been crying all over the place about it. That's what they do best. Cry, throw tantrums, and take their balls and go home if they don't get what they (the corporate lobbyists who pull their strings) want. Corzine lost because of his record in Jersey and the dem in Virginia was weak.

[stuart68]

54. Doesn't matter

if you send the boss out to close the deal, you better make sure the deal is done (or don't send hime). Losing deals just makes him look inneffective, whether it is his fault of not.

[LiberalFighter]

9. I think that suggests they are threatening the President

Hope he gets a visit by the Secret Service.

Someone should rebut the jerk that Obama is the President of all 50 states and DC.

[Tempest]

10. And at the same time he's bring in Ghouliani to stump for him

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4224345


MA voters are not going to be happy with Brown's hypocrisy.

[karynnj]

15. Now, that is funny

Not to mention as the JK group MA people pointed out, Guilliani is a well known Yankees fan!

[gorekerrydreamticket]

57. really,...how absurd....n/t

[defendandprotect]

36. Does MA like the Ghoul?

[Tempest]

49. He's a Yankees fan

They hate his guts.

[Zoeisright]

12. Ignoramous doesn't even know how to use grammar.

For one thing, it's 'let Martha and me discuss the issues'. The test is to remove 'Martha and' and see if 'I' or 'me' is correct.

Like all stupid people trying to speak better than his level of intelligence, Brown made that classic mistake.

And since when is the President of the United States an OUTSIDER anywhere in this country?

That little piece of shit isn't worth the oxygen he's using.

[Psephos]

55. Might want to recheck the spelling of ignoramus. ;) nt

[Moosepoop]

13. “It’s me against the machine,” he said. LOL!!

He must have watched "Terminator" too many times. He thinks he's John Connor. B-)

[karynnj]

14. Not only silly to say the President is not welcome, but where did he learn grammar

"He should stay away and let Martha and I discuss the issues one on one" Didn't his English teacher ever suggest that he could sanity check me/I by removing "Martha and" - would he say, " He should stay away and let I discuss ....".

[SoapBox]

17. WTF?

...stay away?

Of all the nerve!

It's a free country...isn't it Mr. Rushpub? OH YA...NOT if you have it the Rushpub way!

Prez O...I hope you make a quick trip there, just to piss off Mr. Threat.

[fascisthunter]

19. Why does Scott Brown hate rape Victims so much?

[Bitwit1234]

20. I bet if this happened to one of his daughters he would be

against rape.

[fascisthunter]

21. another republican without empathy... gee, what a surprise

can you say, dysfunctional?

[Rozlee]

31. Dude (Dudette?)!! Got that one pegged. Especially if the rapist was a black

Muslim, Democrat and suspected member of the ACLU!! Then, he'd be stuffing the contraceptive down her mouth with a plunger.





:fistbump:

[defendandprotect]

35. Is Coakley bringing up that issue? Presume so since Franken seems to be trying to

actively support her?

What's Coakley's history -- ?

Is she a liberal/progressive?

[fascisthunter]

39. not as Progressive as I Prefer

but progressive enough for me to vote for her, especially now.

I know she is for a women's choice, for gay rights, for public education, she supports Israel, but doesn't believe we should escalate in Afghanistan.

Here's her page:

http://www.marthacoakley.com/about/Issues

[defendandprotect]

41. Thank you -- I'll send something to Franken for her . . .

[fascisthunter]

42. cool...

glad to help.

[Arkana]

47. She's very liberal--more so than about 70% of the Dems in the Senate.

And she has pressed that issue at every opportunity--she's got ads out in force on almost every network to match that greasy little fascist liar she's running against.

[Oerdin]

23. Stay away?

That just means Brown thinks Coakley would be helped if Obama came to campaign with Coakley. Of course Obama should help the Democratic candidate especially if such support scares the Rethug.

[SteveM]

24. He's cock-strutting and wants everyone to see it. This is what the GOP does best...

and it usually works. It also shows that there is a genuine hatred of Barack Obama within the Republican Party; definitely no respect for him.

[defendandprotect]

37. . . . . and evidently getting away with it -- ????

[SteveM]

56. The GOP is supreme at setting terms for debates...

in this case he not only sets the terms, but determines who may or may not engage in his game. Though I did not say "and evidently getting away with it," his actions indicate that he has.

Bullyism works when people let it. The only thing more despised than a bully is the bullied.

[defendandprotect]

58. Unfortunately, we have to realize that the corporate-press is NOT going to challenge

any right wing crap -- for various reasons --

They are getting 80% of this campaign money for ads -- so the system isn't something

they hate --

they get to keep their LARGE computers which gives them illegitimate powers to not only

report actual vote tallies -- but to PREDICT and CALL elections.

They aren't either speaking out against any part of the system of two party tyranny --

with a private corporation set up by the two parties to run the debates!

And meanwhile, the CIA is also in there looking over everyone's shoulder.

"National Security" disinformation, cover ups, blocking of info to public are going to kill us!

And, agree on the "bullying" --

but sadly the Democratic Party is also RARELY responding --

Corporate money also keeps them quiet!!

[CreekDog]

27. I guess we aren't supposed to visit Massachusettes then

Scott, if you win, I'll be sure to stay away from Boston since you don't want me there.

Here I thought I was an American like you and all. :shrug:

[HughBeaumont]

29. What a dick tit.

The nerve of these simple slappy assclowns. The bullying may have worked a few years ago, fuckstick. Different times.

[Hubert Flottz]

30. Who died and made Scott Brown Gawd?

Crazy Bastid...

[rocktivity]

33. I think Brown makes a very valid point

If you can't beat a candidate who has posed nude while studying law and tried to deny contraception to rape victims, all the outside help in the world isn't going to help you anyway!


rocktivity

P.S. This just in: Coakley 49 Brown 41 - Rasmussen walking back from Brown victory

[KansDem]

38. Valid point

And thanks for the "just in" link! :woohoo:

[rocktivity]

40. Here's Brown's response to the commercial

He says her ad isn't true but doesn't explain why.

:eyes:

[defendandprotect]

34. Sounds like Brown is panicking . . . but why is Coakley not doing better . . .is she a liberal?

Are the polls being rigged -- ?

What's really going on up there -- ????

I think I had an email today from Franken asking for $$ for Coakley?

[DesertDiamond]

43. President Obama is an outsider? What country is Massachusetts in???

It makes me laugh to think this guy thinks he has the power to forbid the President's right to come to Massachusetts if he so chooses. LOL!

[sabrina 1]

48. Maybe if Scott takes off his shirt, and gets down to work

convincing the voters that he's worth their vote, instead of whining, he might be better off.

He looked pretty good nearly 30 years ago when he posed nude for Cosmopolitan. I wonder if photos of Coakley posing nude in her college days surfaced, would Repubs have as little to say as they have about Scott. Not that I care, it's just the hypocrisy again.

http://www.cosmopolitan.com/celebrity/news/scott-brown-nude-in-cosmo

Long before he was a politician, the Republican candidate vying for Ted Kennedy’s U.S. Senate seat posed nude for the centerfold of Cosmo. Scott Brown won our “America’s Sexiest Man” contest and appeared in the June 1982 issue. In those days he was a 22-year-old law student at Boston College who was cramming for finals just days before stripping down for our photographer.

“Here at Cosmo we’ve had bachelors go on to be actors, models, and reality show stars, so we’re thrilled that one has gone on to become a politician,” says Kate White, Cosmo’s editor in chief. Obviously we know how to pick ’em. This particular bachelor has always had political ambitions and even admitted to being “a bit of a patriot” when we interviewed him.

Looked pretty good back then ~

[rocktivity]

52. But my question is, an aspiring lawyer posing nude? What kind of judgment is that?

When all is said is done, a lawyer's only real asset is his personal credibility. Didn't it occur to him that the legal profession was not the best place in which to have nude photos popping up, however old they are?

:shrug:

[Arkana]

51. So you're allowed to invite Rudy 9/11 but Martha isn't allowed to invite Obama, Scott?

[DavidDvorkin]

53. Rudy was born in the USA!

Whereas ...

I'm sure they won't say that, but I assume that's the intended implication.

[kskiska]

59. Didn't Preznit Junior travel to S.Dakota to campaign against Daschle?

There may be numerous other instances, but I distinctly remember that one.
