Imagine if a Democrat...

In a heavily Republican state raised an astounding $13 million in what should have been a safe seat for the Republicans. Which is exactly what Scott Brown did in the process of derailing Martha Coakley in Massachusetts.

Brown raised so much late money - about $1 million a day via the Internet at the end - that he couldn’t spend it all. He ended the campaign with an estimated $4 million in his campaign account, spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said. The campaign’s original budget was $1.2 million, but it ultimately raised about $13 million. With a flush campaign account, Brown will enter office in a stronger position to defend against an almost certain challenge in 2012.
If the roles were reversed and the Democrat had out raised and won a seat in a Republican state the media would be going crazy. The talking points would be how the Republican party is failing the country. How the people have seen the light and the trend is going to be towards an overwhelming support nation wide of Democrats.

But of course we won't see any of that from the main steam media.

Even when the Democrats lose...

It's still all the Republicans fault.

DC -Service Employees International Union (SEIU) President Andy Stern released the following statement after Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts.

"Today is no different than yesterday or the day before or the day before that. Pat DeJong will still wake up in Libby, Montana. Pat is still mourning the loss of her husband and the selling of his family's ranch because of his medical bills. And, Pat will still go to the bed side of her patients each day, providing excellent care, still lacking coverage of her own," said SEIU President Andy Stern. "Pat's reality is the reality millions of working people face every day. One political election does not change the fact that Pat and hardworking families across this country have been asking for and deserve fundamental reforms.

"The reason Ted Kennedy's seat is no longer controlled by a Democrat is clear: Washington's inability to deliver the change voters demanded in November 2008. Make no mistake, political paralysis resulted in electoral failure.

"During the past year, Republicans refused to do anything but stand in the way of change and Democratic Senators took too long to do too little. And tonight, the Senate bears the consequences for its failure to act decisively but the American people are the ones left paying the price

It's not that Marcia Chokely ran a horrible campaign, she couldn't even spell her own home state of Massachusetts right in an ad, or that Scott Brown ran a fantastic campaign that resonated with the people of Massachusetts. Or maybe because Coakley was lazy and felt entitled to the seat. She wouldn't even bother standing out in the "rain and cold" to shake hands with Bruins fans. Why would she want to associate with the peons who would watch hockey? Or it couldn't be that Obama has enraged the American people so much so that even a liberal state like Mass could elect a Republican.

Nope none of that is the reason. It's all because the Republicans stood up for the American people and their principles.

I hate to tell you Andy, not that you'd listen anyways, the reason Coakley lost wasn't because of the Republicans standing in the way of "change". It's because the Democrats have moved so far to the left that the American people are finally (hopefully) getting it, at least for now.

Imagine if a Republican...

Tried to campaign at Martin Luther King Jr breakfast tribute. The media would have bashed that Republican for trying to politicize such a historic figure. The talking points would be about how such events shouldn't be political. But yet Martha Coakley does so with out any criticism.

Martha Coakley spoke to the Boston Martin Luther King Day Breakfast this morning, making the case to a subdued crowd of dignitaries at the Hynes convention center that voting for her tomorrow will help carry on King's legacy.

"I'm running for the United States Senate because Dr. King's work is unfinished; his dream is unrealized," she said.

"Tomorrow we act on the dream and we make sure that we allow me to continue that work," Coakley said. "We remember the dream tomorrow and we will act on the dream tomorrow."

"I know that he would be standing rught on the front line for health care — not as a right — not as a privilege, but as a right, as Ted Kennedy always said," Coakley said of King.

"If you send me to the Senate, I will be guided by those values," she said of President Barack Obama and King to a packed ballroom that included her opponent, Scott Brown, who sat in the crowd; Coakley sat on the dais.
Scott Brown did the right and classy thing. He didn't try and campaign at this event.

Imagine if a Republican...

Scott Brown used the image of the World Trade Center to show that Martha Coakley is weak on defense. I could see the headlines now about how he is a fear monger. And how he should be ashamed of himself from bringing such horrific images back into the peoples minds. It would just be horrible.

But yet Martha Coakley can use the image of the World Trade Center and no one in the media bats and eye...if not for Republican outrage she would still be showing the ad. But why isn't the media outraged by this? Why because she is one of the liberal elites.

Imagine if a Republican...

Said that devout Catholics shouldn't bother working in an Emergency room.

Ken Pittman: Right, if you are a Catholic, and believe what the Pope teaches that any form of birth control is a sin. ah you don’t want to do that.

Martha Coakley: No we have a seperation of church and state Ken, lets be clear.

Ken Pittman: In the emergency room you still have your religious freedom.

Martha Coakley: (……uh, eh…um..) The law says that people are allowed to have that. You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room.


I could just see the media bashing Scott Brown if he had said that. They would be calling for him to drop out of the race because he is discriminating base on religion. But yet Martha Coakley can say that and it barely makes news.

Imagine if a Republican

Well this is a little reverse...Imagine if a Democrat was winning a race in a heavily Republican state?

The poll shows Brown, a state senator from Wrentham, besting Coakley, the state’s attorney general, by 50 percent to 46 percent, the first major survey to show Brown in the lead. Unenrolled long-shot Joseph L. Kennedy, an information technology executive with no relation to the famous family, gets 3 percent of the vote. Only 1 percent of voters were undecided.
Imagine if this was Texas, or any other red state, and a Senate seat that was held for 40 years by a Republican was in jeopardy of being over taken by a relatively unknown opponent? How would the media be treating this? They would be calling this the end of conservatism and the end of the Republican party.

But in Massachusetts with Scott Brown taking the lead over Martha Coakley I have not heard once from the main stream media that this is the end of liberalism.

Imagine if a Republican...

If Scott Brown had misspelled Massachusetts in one of his ads it would have been front page news on the Boston Globe. It would have been the lead story on all the TV news outlets. And just might have derailed his entire campaign. I mean, what kind of idiot can't even spell their own home state?

But of course if Martha Coakley misspells Massachusetts if barely makes the news. And she gets away with it. It doesn't matter how many screw ups she does the media won't take her to task on any of them.

Now imagine if Sarah Palin had misspelled Alaska. How much more abuse would the media have blasted her on that? Really...think about that.

Now why does Martha Coakley get a pass on these things?

Imagine if a Republican...

Staffer attacked a reporter asking them a tough questions.

The media would be blasting that candidate for strong arming the media and not having the courage to stand up and answer the tough questions. The media would be saying if the candidate can't even answer a tough question on the campaign trail how is he/she going to handle answering tough questions in the Senate?

But since this was one of the elitists in Martha Coakley, I don't even think this has been reported on any of the major newspapers or news outlets. Like most liberal screw ups the media is trying it's best to cover it up.
