With Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts, the only viable option left to Democrats in regards to health care is for the house to pass the Senate version of the bill without making any changes to it.  I thought there was a good chance of this happening, but I may have been wrong.  A day or two ago, Nancy Pelosi seemed very confident that the Congress would pass health care legislation in time for Obama’s State of the Union.  However, today she made an interesting statement about health care,

I don’t think it’s possible to pass the Senate bill in the House,” Pelosi told reporters after a morning meeting with her caucus. “I don’t see the votes for it at this time.

If the House doesn’t pass the Senate version of the bill in it’s entirety, an amended bill would have to be sent back to the Senate for passage.  The Democrats, thanks to Scott Brown and the voters of Massachusetts, no longer have the 60 votes needed to stop a Republican filibuster, so an amended bill would most likely die in the Senate.  This means there is little chance of health care passing.

Is it possible that the 2000 plus page health care bill is finally dead?  After all the angry town hall meetings and protests, after all the polls showing plummeting support for the legislation along with plummeting support for Obama and Congress.. is it really over?  Have enough democrats in the House woken up to the fact that they were destroying their political careers by following the Obama, Pelosi, and Reid agenda?  It appears so, but I am still a little skeptical.  While I am hopeful that this battle is finally won, it’s still a little to early to celebrate.  Never underestimate liberal trickery.

Wouldn’t it be great though if health care was given it’s final blow by the Democrat stronghold of Massachusetts?

Socialist dictators, like Chavez and Castro, seem to love Obama.  However, now that Scott Brown has beaten Martha Coakley in the Massachusetts special election, a very famous socialist dictator has turned on Obama.  The President’s failure to get out the vote for Coakley has lost him the support of the National Socialist German Workers Party (NAZI) and it’s leader, Adolf Hitler.  I’m serious, just watch the video!

Today in Massachusetts, voters are going to the polls for a special election for the late Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat.  Massachusetts is the bluest of blue states, yet the latest poll shows Republican Scott Brown ahead of Democrat Martha Coakley by 9 percent.  Brown has made this election about Obama and his policies by bringing up health care and the Democrats’ runaway spending at every campaign stop.  He has repeatedly said that if elected, he will be the 41st vote to enable a Republican filibuster of the health care bill.  This has resonated with the people in Mass and he has been consistently rising in the polls.   To be fair, Martha Coakley has run a bad campaign, but the voters are clearly sending a message that the liberal policies of Obama are losing support… in Massachusetts of all places!

The way this race has played out is that a vote for Coakley is a vote for the health care legislation while a vote for Brown is a vote against the health care legislation.  Polls have shown that about 51% of people in Mass are opposed to the current health care bill.  Coincidentally, the latest poll shows Brown has about 52% of the vote.  I think it is safe to say that those who are voting for Brown are probably the same people who are opposed to the health care bill.  The logical conclusion as to why Brown is in the lead is that the people of Mass are fed up with what the Democrat controlled Congress has been doing.  Because of this, they may (if the polls are right) do something they have not done in a long time…  send a Republican to the Senate.

However, Democrats cannot admit this.  It is impossible that the people of Massachusetts are choosing a Republican over a Democrat because they are upset with Obama’s liberal policies.  Impossible!  So it has to be something else.

Republican Scott Brown has a real chance of pulling off an upset victory in Tuesday’s special election for the Massachusetts Senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy.  If Brown wins, the Democrats will loose their 60 vote super majority in the Senate required to overcome Republican filibusters.  This could be trouble for 2 of Obama’s top legislative priorities, health care and cap and trade.  The health care and cap and trade bills are bad for American businesses, and smart investors know this.  However, if Brown wins, the passage of these two job killing bills could be doomed.  This would be great for our economy and may spark a rally in the stock market.

Jim Cramer of CNBC’s Mad Money, a long time Democrat agrees.  In his own words he believes, “… investors who are nervous about the dictatorship of the Pelosi proletariat will feel at ease, and we could have a gigantic rally off a Coakley loss and a Brown win.”

Below is a partial transcript and video clip of Cramer’s show where he commented on the Massachusetts Senate race.  The best line of the clip has got to be, “Pelosi politburo emasculation!”

This video, “Massachusetts Miracle”, would be great as Scott Brown’s new campaign commercial.  A recent poll now shows Republican Scott Brown is up by 4 points over Democrat Martha Coakley.  If Brown is able to win this election, the repercussions to the Democrat’s agenda (and Obama’s in particular) will be huge.  If the bluest of blue states chooses a conservative candidate over a liberal one, it would amplify and accelerate the move our nation is already making to conservatism.  The people of Massachusetts have a clear choice between individual liberty and government control, personal responsibility and government nanny-ism,  free markets and socialism.  I pray they make the correct choice.  It would help stop the leaks in this sinking ship called America.

People of Massachusetts, your forefathers fired “the shot heard ’round the world” in defense of liberty.  On January 19th you have a chance to do it again (symbolically of course) by voting for Scott Brown.
