		<description>Martha Coakley lost because she didn&#039;t campaign much, and, when she did, ran a 2008 campaign in a 2010 world.  

We are tired of &quot;Blame Bush.&quot;  We are tired of being told that the problem is &quot;fat cat&quot; bankers and Wall Street.  We tried that with Obama and it got us 17% unemployment or underemployment.  

The Boston Tea Party actually emailed Coakley and asked for a meeting/fundraiser; since Scott Brown&#039;s campaign had sought out the Tea Party and done the same, we thought that we would be all non-partisan and reach out to Coakley.  She ignored the request entirely.

Now, call me crazy, but I&#039;m not sure what politician, save for one whose schedule is so jam-packed as to not have a moment to breathe, let alone schedule another fundraiser, would turn down the opportunity to meet with hundreds of her soon-to-be constituents and have the event announced to thousands more.  

Contrast Scott Brown.  You couldn&#039;t go to an event (especially a conservative one) without running into the guy.  He sent out an open invitation to his primary victory party - one need not be Somebody Important to get in.  He friended about half of Massachusetts on Facebook and followed most of us on Twitter.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Seems to me like the oh-so-typical cry of misogyny is nothing more than another sexist man projecting his issues onto everyone else.&lt;/em&gt;

Damn straight. Is this a-hole on record with his opinion about Palin? Ten dollars says it&#039;s some variation of the tired, worn out &quot;We all know she&#039;s a dimwit you can tell by looking at her porn star glasses&quot; meme. And he thinks Joe Biden won the debate with his &lt;i&gt;smartzz&lt;/i&gt;.</description>

		<description>Long before the left wing dragged both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin through the much, I recall them referring to Paula Jones, a victim of sexual harrassment, as &quot;Trailer Park Trash.&quot;

We all know now that her accusations had serious merit.</description>

		<description>None of these &quot;feminists&quot; said the same thing about Sarah Palin. Now that is a double standard.</description>

		<description>Actually, Dems are not the majority in Massachusetts.  The Independents (of which I was one until today) are at 51%.  Fortunately for us, Coakley&#039;s decision to sit back and coast and wait for her coronation, combined with running negative campaign ads only served to wake up the electorate who normally would just either blacken the &quot;D&quot; or stay home altogether. The excuse that Coakley lost because she was a woman is a known and very tired excuse.  It may have worked some years ago, but people aren&#039;t buying it anymore.  Massachusetts has some fight in it yet. We&#039;ve been abused and taken for granted by both parties in this state, primarily by Democrats.  We&#039;re spoiling for a fight.  The Independents have had it and made their voices heard on this one.</description>

		<description>I agree with you all: I&#039;m tired of the term &quot;tea-bagger.&quot; It&#039;s as bad as the n-word for Blacks, or the b-word for women. I don&#039;t understand why liberals get away with it. 

Also, one of the comments on Carroll&#039;s &quot;oped&quot; was illustrative of common-sense, which he doesn&#039;t seem to have (when I noticed he is in academia, I knew his mind-set). 

Here&#039;s the comment: &quot;A little dramatic aren&#039;t we? And as a woman, you can take your patronizing rhetoric and stick it.&quot; 

The whole thing reveals the true liberal mindset.</description>

		<description>I think I&#039;m going to make a new rule: anyone using the term &quot;tea-baggers&quot; automatically gets their @$$ kicked. Same goes for anyone using the term &quot;astroturf&quot; to describe spontaneous dissent by average Americans. Not one friend or family member I know, liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, is happy with ObaPeloReid.

Coakley was witless, shallow, incompetent, aloof, and deranged even by liberal standards. Even if she looked only half as good as Cassy in a bathing suit, she would have fallen short of Cosmo Guy. ;)

Seriously, Brown ran an outstanding campaign and Obamacare was clearly an albatross around Coakley&#039;s neck. If it weren&#039;t, Pelosi wouldn&#039;t have abandoned it so quickly and easily. I know my Congresswoman is scared to death of losing her job as Speaker in November. I&#039;m taking great joy in their suffering!

Great catch Cass, revealing liberals for the self-hating, misanthropic, misogynists that they really are. It&#039;s so ironic that the &quot;racist and sexist&quot; conservatives have more faith in the accomplishments and abilities of women and minorities than those who purport to hold their interests close to their hearts.</description>
