The Leftist propaganda juggernaut IS effective. After all, they rammed the Marxist Kenyan through — so ANYthing’s possible.

One word. Fear.

Fear of a Democratic Party led by Obama whose chief of staff said “We’re keeping count” a couple years ago. We know the Democrats kept track of businesses voting records when it came time to hand out bailout money. We know tea party organizers keep popping up on domestic terrorist watch lists. With liberals everywhere declaring the Tea Party the new Nazism, would it be too far a stretch that a telephone survey performed by a liberal organization that has your name and address isn’t putting anyone who expresses support for a Republican candidate on a list?

I’ve lived in Boston for 8 years, and though my political beliefs haven’t changed much (turns out I’m a centrist), I have evolved from a blind Democratic zombie who never voted, to a person who will vote for the first time in a couple weeks, and for Republican candidates. However, in public or at work downtown, I would never dream of admitting this in fear for my safety and/or job.

I hope Bielat can pull this off, as he’s an excellent candidate in all respects. However, I have a feeling we’ll be seeing Frank fat giggling face in a couple weeks smearing Bielat and the Republican Party in his victory speech. Any Democrat who survives a tight race this year is going to be spewing all that pent-up venom after they win or lose–there aren’t going to be many respectful victory or concession speeches to be had by the Left.

WWJWD? (JW being Juan Williams)

All I want for Christmas is House of Representatives that is capable and willing to subpoena the White House, DOJ etc.

Or “I just don’t pay much attention” means “I have people in my life who would not like it if I picked a position either way (secretly liberal)”.

On and on etc.

I’m gobsmacked that after his defense of Fannie and Freddie, his polls weren’t so negative that Frank, like Christopher Dodd, would have been forced to not run.

2. In fact I’m more than gobsmacked: wrt the country’s future, it feels outright ominous that Frank has a good shot at reelection. And CT is poised to replace its disgraceful leftist hack Senator with another disgraceful leftist hack (and reject a successful woman entrepreneur).

3. MA is expected to lose a Congressional district because of the census. Frank may wind up out of a job even if he wins this year. If a Republican Representative is elected this year, no doubt the Democrats will try to eliminate him instead of Frank, but a) I don’t know how much discretion they have and b) I read somewhere that MA is already heavily gerrymandered to deny the centrist/conservative voters in the middle part of the state a Congressional district.
