i am not a religous person; most of my friends are not religous people. and yet an amazing thing happened last nite. at 6:24pm pst i got an email alert from the wsj that brown had won massachussetts. within 2 minutes i got a call from one of my best friends and several email with huge distributions saying, "there is a god". now maybe this is a beggining of an outbreak of spirituality but i think not. i think many people were getting appalled and depressed by a democratic white house and congress running roughshod over the country; remaking it in their vision, whether a majority of the people wanted it or not. and out of nowwhere comes the unlikliest of events; a guy no one has heard of nationally beating a machine picked democrat IN MASSACHUSSETTS, FOR TED KENEDYS EX SEAT. i mean its like charlston heston parting the red sea. its mind boggling. hence, the saying there must be a god. we have been miraculously delivered from the tyranny of the majority.
now what does it mean? does it mean the people of massachussetts want a social conservative senator? probably not if you include the voters who gave him the victory. i think it means people are fed up, disgusted, and scared. between the corruption of the the unilateral, behind closed doors, buy the last 3 votes healthcare bill, to the focus on copenhagan and a half in half out afghan policy, i think people are saying, heh guys, the economy is still in the shitter, unemployment is too high, deficits are out of control, the banks you bailed out (which was necessary by the way) are paying out billions in bonuses, iran is bulding nukes, china is kicking our ass, DO SOMETHING!!!!

Thank God!!!
Just a quick note: If I were in trouble financially and someone bailed me out personally, I would be one grateful guy to that person. To the best of my ability I would not turn my back on him, and do every personal favor I could until I got him paid back.
What bank has used my tax dollars and them turned around and gave me a new refi loan??????
Sorry man, you man be in the financial world but I am in the real world.. where I can guarantee a loan (even though I have good credit), not can I get a loan.
Screw Bank of America and Goldmann Sachs.
poor rachael maddow....getting the word that he won while in front of a live audience, and having to announce it. i thought she was going to choke, absolutely hilarious!!!!
this particular election lifted my spirits more than anything for the past year.
this time, change is coming, and it is OUR change Obama....not your vacuous platitude.
yo anonymous,
do you think the fact that scott brown is dropdead gorgous had anything to do with his being elected????
i agree with your anger. my post wasnt about the banks and how wonderful bankers are. it was about the meaning of the massachussets special election. i merely observed that as distastefull as it might be we needs to save the banking system or there would be no there there
