Dem Scheme: Seat Brown Late if he Wins, Until After Health Care Gets to Senate

As today's politics become more and more totalitarian, the overreach of the far left radicals in this administration is beyond belief. A big part of American exceptionalism is our freedom, and voting rights is right up there in the top five. We now have a government hell-bent on transforming America back to the day of King George and the British Empire.

When Bill Owens was declared the winner in the NY-23rd race over Douglas Hoffman, they certified Owens to the Senate in record time. Now, the left is threatening to hold up certifying Scott Brown until after government run health care goes back to the Senate, should he win. Should Coakley win, of course she would be wisked in ASAP. Is this a democracy? Is there any way to prevent this? There is time to prepare for this inconsistency. Can this be done?

The unethical and illegal maneuverings of this administration are just mind boggling. This bill effects far too much for it to be handled with so many unprecedented machinations.

Dem Scheme: Seat Brown Late if he Wins, Until After Health Care Gets to Senate
by Dan Perrin, January 10, 2010

(At 11;59 PM on 1/8 Moe Lane posted on this story, here. I’m just adding another log to the fire.)

In a clear demonstration of the Speaker’s comment that we will do “almost anything” to pass health care, the Democrats have said they will delay seating Scott Brown, the GOP candidate for Senate in Massachusetts if he wins the race for former Senator Kennedy’s Senate seat on January 19th.

Talk about lighting a torch while standing is in a field of gasoline! The Dems would be really putting on their crazy train if they tried this.

This plan is rank with corruption. Not only would they be denying the will of the people of Massachusetts, but they would be corrupting our process even further to do it — I mean, besides buying off Senators Nelson and Landrieu — you know.

For the Dems to be planning in this level of detail for a loss is revealing, and puts an explanation point on the great anger at ObamaCare in the nation — and the Dems desperation in even considering this CHEAT.

Here are excerpts from the Boston Herald:

“Friday, a spokesman for Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin, who is overseeing the election but did not respond to a call seeking comment, said certification of the Jan. 19 election by the Governor’s Council would take a while.

“Because it’s a federal election,” spokesman Brian McNiff said. “We’d have to wait 10 days for absentee and military ballots to come in.”

“Another source told the Herald that Galvin’s office has said the election won’t be certified until Feb. 20 - well after the president’s address.

“Since the U.S. Senate doesn’t meet again in formal session until Jan. 20, Bay State voters will have made their decision before a vote on health-care reform could be held. But Kirk and Galvin’s office said Friday a victorious Brown would be left in limbo.

“In contrast, Rep. Niki Tsongas (D-Lowell) was sworn in at the U.S. House of Representatives on Oct. 18, 2007, just two days after winning a special election to replace Martin Meehan. In that case, Tsongas made it to Capitol Hill in time to override a presidential veto of the expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program.”
