Teabaggers
defeat GOP
Voters
make Bart look like a prophet
In an election year dominated by a
desire for change in Washington, (Objection!
That's what the whore media
keep telling us, but where is your evidence?) voters in
Colorado and Connecticut on Tuesday nominated a trio
of Senate candidates who positioned themselves as political outsiders.
But Colorado's results proved there are limits
on how much change voters actually want, a telling sign that November's
pivotal midterm elections may be even
more unpredictable than polls suggest.
They're only unpredictable in that you lying media whores
are always wrong.
In Colorado's Democratic Senate
primary, Sen. Michael Bennet fended off a challenge from Andrew
Romanoff.
Bennet, repeatedly cast himself as a political change agent even though
he was backed by Obama and the Democrats.
Romanoff, meanwhile, was endorsed by Bill Clinton. While Romanoff
seemed to have momentum in the final weeks,
Bennet held on—a sign that Democrats, at least, aren't yet willing to
toss incumbents aside.
Here
we go - this proves the Teabaggers, so far at least, want change ...in the GOP. ha ha
Throw out all those
establishment Rethugs - that's the way we like it.
In the state's Senate GOP primary,
Ken Buck defeated former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton in a race that was seen
as
a microcosm of the Republican Party's internal ideological struggles.
Both candidates were backed by factions of
the so-called Tea Party, even though Buck tried to distance himself
from the groups late in the primary. But Norton
was also backed by the GOP establishment, including Sen. John McCain,
who stumped on her behalf last weekend.
So, McCain's a loser - what else is new?
In Connecticut, former World
Wrestling Entertainment chief Linda McMahon beat former Rep. Rob
Simmons in
the state's GOP primary. Simmons initially suspended his campaign in
May only to make a last minute push for
the nomination. McMahon, who has spent more than $22 million of her own
cash on the race, faces the state's
Democratic attorney general Dick Blumenthal this fall.
You know if a Wrestling clown runs
for office, it'll be as a Rethug.
But the lying whore media, once again, has been proven wrong.
They've been screaming "voters hate incumbents" but that's just on the
Rethug side.
Once again, the Democrats could stumble to another
accidental victory in November.
