The New Your Times

'All the news that fits'

[ThereisNoGoingHome]

George W Bush allowed the Bin Laden family to go home with a military escort the day after their son was implicated in the mass murder of thousands of Americans. Had a Democratic President done that. You fools would be screaming treason. Because of the last President; Iraq. Afghanistan. Katrina. The collapse of the financial system. The attempt to privatize social security. Yeah, you conservatives have done great things for this country. Maybe you should put that on your resume's.

[scorzeny45]

for the first time in my life i am proud to be from massachusetts.

[xxramblingsxx]

Everythings OK. You can have hope and change. There's a big dose of Kool-aid being delivered by Obama in next week's state-of-union address. His teleprompter is locked & loaded. Obama solves the country's problems by speeches, talking, summits, talking, listening, and talking. Just let him redefine the message he wants everyone to believe in, and all will be good again.

[RangRing68]

We are coming back, you liberal candyasses!

[mrtheblr]

@thamanz123 k i hope that was sarcasm tho. it probably is but im just checking

[piratebri]

Coakley thought she had it in the bag before the race began. Brown actually had a campaign. That's why we got this result.

[ReliableInsider]

The funny thing is: she lost by only five points, 47% to 52%.

It sounds like, if she had run, he would have lost.

The same thing happened with Michael Bloomberg. He spent one hundred million dollars. An unprecedented amount. If he hadn't, he probably would have lost. That's one dollar, one vote, not one man, one vote and one woman, one vote.

[yogeedogee]

ReliableInsider, She thought she had the job and didn't have to go out to talk with the people. Even her TV ads were a turn off. This made her seem cold, elitist and unconcerned with the voter's anxieties. Scott Brown addressed people's concerns--- that is why he won.

[Romulus2009]

Not enough dead people voted

[abcd72578]

scott brown!!!!!yeahhhhh!!!

[thisonefuckinguy]

god i am so happy today LOLOLOLOLOLOL it is so nice to see americans taking back america and showing that were not nazi germany we are the USA goddamn it!!

[pmokadakeisuke]

To say that Republicans "took back" or are "taking back" America is arrogant and selfish. Republicans seem to make it sound as if all americans should think the way they do... Republican or bust.

Am I not an American, because I am not a Republican?

This type of Nationalistic fervor is exactly what insights conflict among the peoples of a nation and is pretty much the mentality the Nazi's had against Jews, homosexuals, and anyone whom they didn't think were "German" enough for Germany.

[thisonefuckinguy]

yah we all should think the way republicans and independants think because its obviously better than the way you liberals think and last night it showed when a republican beat a democrat in a state that is 3 democrats to every one republican. wake up, america doesnt want a socialist government. obamas reign as president is done and over with. no second term, NOTHING. say goodbye.

[IROCwarriorAMC88]

@thisonefuckinguy: I concur with you on this notion of thinking.

[thisonefuckinguy]

oh and i forgot to comment about everything you had to say about Germany. i'll just say that you might have had apoint if Germany wasnt superior to the rest of the world on basically every level.and by the way moron, GERMANY is the most liberal nation on earth. go study.

[pmokadakeisuke]

First, who said I was a liberal? Second, Why use ad-hominem?(i.e. "Moron")Are you a so-called internet Troll? Third, I said ONE thing about Germany not "everything". And Germany didn't become the most Liberal nation on earth until after the downfall of the Third Reich. Who wouldn't, after they witnessed extreme Nationalism can be? Dude, you need to learn more yourself, because you seem somewhat mis-informed.

[thisonefuckinguy]

theres nothing to debate with you anymore. you watched the rise of liberalism and now watch is crumble faster than a building in haiti. ohh that might have been a little mean to say but fuck it i support freedom of speech LOL.

[unocomm]

Sorry, I just woke up. Who won last night?

 I turned on the TV and put on MSNBC I see sad people. They dont know they're sad.

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

.......FELLOW MAINSTREETERS: with BUSH,,,WALL STREET RAPED US......WITH BAMA, WALL STREET CONTINUES TO RAPE US .....WITH BAMA WE GET HITLER NAZI HEALTHCARE NOBODY WANTS BUT THE INSURANCE COMPANIES,,,,AND WE GET GREEN HITLER NAZI PROGRAMS THAT WILL WRECK US,,,DIVIDED GOVT IS MAINSTREET'S ONLY HOPE.....frankly I HATE ALL POLITICIANS,,,,,,end of story!

[jonah70757]

Figures this NY TIMES BITCH would start this off with "Having a hard time understanding how this race got so close" wake up honey wake up The average American does not want what you Liberal (Progressive) Democrats are trying to sell(Ram down our throats).

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

sic semper tyrannis

[mrtheblr]

@thamanz123 r u serious or joking

sorry i cant tell

[jedichihuahua]

Right, this is "such a nightmare" that insurance companies can stay in business. "You think healthcare is expensive now, wait till it's FREE!!" as under the Obamanable administration's plan. Thank GOD people are waking up to our current government's reprehensible abuse of power.

[RichardEGagne]

All I can say is its the New York times they are about as knowledgable as a rabbit in the peoples mind. I cancelled my subscription decades ago. But some one is still buying that shit paper must be for the pee pad for the dog to go on. Thank god that woman did not win she said some very stupid things during the election and she would have been a lapdog for Obama.

[DogAmongMen]

You all deserve what you get for putting up with politicians like these. ...and so do I.

[roscoe85cj]

New York Times lol .. lol .. lol ..

hmmmmm, wonder if they carry the (good) news on the front page tomorrow .. bet they ain't got the nutz ! Bwaa ha haa ha haa

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

BROWN WINS

BROWN WINS

BROWN WINS.

[auto1966]

Ok everyone dig in there pockets,whatever you have now borrow a hundred buck,for the next 12 months.And it will cost you double for health insurance.

[mackdaddy06]

to gareof

not all imigrants are "cheats & welfare wimps"

im mexiCAN, & i dont get mad about paying my taxes. your tax money didnt raise me, my hardworking parents did, & tend to follow in their same footsteps.

cheaters & welfare wimps are the cheaters and welfare wimps.

dont categorize me. i work just as hard as you do.

so get your fucking facts straight

[legacyfinancial]

Not so much the "imigrants", my friend. I don't place the blame on Hispanics, you are very, very hard working people who take care of your families, at home, and abroad, while paying taxes. The problem I have, in my metro city is African Americans. I am NOT racist, just going by observations in my city, and national statistics. Welfare is majority black, even though they are a small minority. I personally blame libs, because their "plan" is to create a long-term "dependant" class. IMO

[mackdaddy06]

i agree with you legacy, i work at a bank in my city.

& i regretfully can say that african americans mostly see each of their kids as a paycheck & theyre on unemployment. i wish i could be politically correct about this but theres no sugar coating this issue in any way. most of them are theyre lazy..there i said it. youre right, throw in this "plan", and it is going to further increase their dependency.

sucks to say that...but actions speak louder than words

got to keep it 100.

[gareof]

Not all, but many mexicans must be categorized as cheats (border crossing, illegal immigrants) who work & send American money back to mexico - An immigrant gets off the boat & says to first person he meets: "Thank You Mr.American for this wonderful country" - the dude says "I'm from India" - the immigrant goes to next person "Thank You... the cunt says "I'm mexican"....the immigrant asks "where can I find an American to thank"? - the cheats tell him, "I guess the Americans must be working"

[Slipknotyk06]

The fact that this election is even close is evidence of the mood of the United States in moving away from Obama and his initiatives.

I will bet 500 on an 80 to 1 long shot that should Brown win, and Obama Care be defeated, the public opinion polls relating to Congress will shoot up 20+ points overnight.

Public approval of Obama - 46%

Public approval of Congress - 25%

Obama won't strike again in 2012

[billeybop]

I'ts time to put the party of ethics and honesty back in charge. G.B. was much smarter than credit was given. Scott Brown or President!

[TheRamenAvenger]

George W Bush = ethics and honesty? BWAAHAHAHA!

Brainwashed sheep.

[abarzilai664]

What ever happened to your hero's promise of the health care proceedings on C-Span?

[TheRamenAvenger]

Don't cry lil guy

[kahvas]

I'm with you on this. This admin blames Bush for the last 8 years blah blah blah... all the time. They never realize that 2007 and even till mid 2008 were the best years. Unemployment was at lowest levels in 07 for the last 40 years. In fact they should ask Bush how he was able to get the unemployment down so quickly after the y2k debacle.

[chewbaca1989]

By re-inflating a financial bubble?

Capitalism has ups and downs all necessary and conducive to competitive lean and mean industry.

Risk, failure, and reward tweak with this at a Federal level and you get an Obama elected.

Bush was a fiscal socialist, end of story.

[RaceToMediocrity]

I never thought turnabout would come this soon. It's delicious to see the liberal media tearfully covering this election, after watching them wet themselves just a few short months ago. Whatever the outcome, I am enjoying these images. Oh, would that the NYTimes, MSNBC and CNN join together for a video called "How did this happen?" - what a delicious image that would be!

[RaceToMediocrity]

And a memo to the GOP - When Brown wins, how 'bout we stop being the party that "promises to work together" and start being the SOB's that Democrats have always been. The gloves came off when the band played "Heil to the Thief" on 1/20/09 and the Chicago-thugs took the government and my country hostage.

[RaceToMediocrity]

Favorite Quotes:

Never let a crisis go to waste - Emanuel

I'm for universal single payer health care - Obama

The Constitution is flawed - Obama

Unfortunately we can only control the compensation of those who took TARP money - Gibbs

Once the country has health reform they'll realize that it was a good thing for them - Pelosi

Regardless of what happens in MA, we will have health care reform and we'll have it soon - Pelosi

[thetvsaysobey]

Whats going on is we've been lied to. We want healthcare but not healthcare that is going to say, here pay for this plan and if you don't you get a $25,000 fine or a misdemeanor and jail time. This is not reform. This is tyranny. Stop believing all the lies the t.v. is telling you.

[soxpatsicecream7]

Fuck Scott Brown

[soxpatsicecream7]

Scott Brown is a fucking piece of far right wing shit

[muckypup1975]

martha coakley is a baby shaker. "shake the baby,shake the baby,shake the goddamn babies" crazy bitch is gonna burn down a black chruch after her loss and blame a republican. the go to the hospital and shake a few babies. just like a demorcrat

[Pedrinho23]

what the hell is going on in MA/US??

people were upset that there was no public option and that Obama was giving in to the right and insurance corp. and now they vote for a republican? A state where Ted Kennedy was ellected, a guy who fought for universal healthcare.

[yogeedogee]

Washington DC is even too far left for Massachusetts. The shackles came off, when Kennedy died. It is nice to have a choice. Kennedy was senator for nearly 50 years. Enough is enough.

[Allen2See]

In 2006, the Demos won the majority in both the House and the Senate. In 2008, Demo controlled congress voted a $700B bail-out costing each of us 135M tax payers in the USA $5,185. Obama pledged no earmarks & C-Span transparency. We got many earmarks like the 100M going to Louisiana Demo Landrieu for her Obamacare vote. We got Chicago style politics, deals behind closed doors, and millions more job loses. Do you want a post office style $1.4 trillion healthcare you still have to pay for?

[cat00012000]

Bring back the conservatives. Give us another decade from hell. Kill health care. Hell, kill the country. Somalia is the place to be, lots of guns, no taxes or government regulations or government at all for that matter.

[musictomyhears]

feel sorry, how this is possible. we know there is so much personal and corporation agenda on the republican hand and we the people still support their agenda. if people are upset about the health care bill. its because those people never got sick but wait until you are on that situation you will be sorry. let me tell you getting sick on America even with insurance is going bankruptcy and still there is no warranty that you will get better. we are so dumb. we really don't know what we want.

[jwv651]

The problem is Obama is a puppet for the left...and the country has had enough!

[getpastreligion]

@jwv651 Obama bailed out banks, sent more troops to Afghanistan, has yet to repeal 'Don't ask' - I hardly think he's a puppet to the left!

[nelipotfootfree]

@SabuPtolemy

the most liberal blue state in the nation is willing to send someone who doesnt believe in evolution to the U.S. senate because of their outrage over health care and Obamas insane fiscal policies.

[JHJennings]

ObamaCare MUST be stopped and voting for SCOTT BROWN is one way to do that. ObamaCare is a SOCIALIST initiative designed to exert WAY too much control over people and their employers. Healthcare problems must be solved but NOT through ObamaCare. VOTE FOR SCOTT BROWN like many of your fellow Democrats!

[SabuPtolemy]

WTF is up with MA?! Are these people out of their goddamn minds voting for Scott Brown?!

[proupatriotpapa]

nope they had an outbreak of common sense

[TheRamenAvenger]

How ironic will it be if the Democrats pass health care via reconciliation, after bending over backwards to try to get the blue dogs and Olympia Snowe on board?

... Then again, that would take actual balls, which is something they apparently lack.

Let's just vote in Scott Brown, then Sarah Palin in 2012. Hasten the rapture. Fuck it all!
