A 2nd revolution took place last night. The good people of Massachusetts have elected a Republican to the seat that the honorable Ted Kennedy (Dem) once held.  Maybe for a change we'll have some balanced sort of representation down in DC.   US Senator Elect Scott Brown has already said he would be the 41st vote to stop the President Obama's Health Care bill. 

Personally, I think this is a good thing.  Perhaps now we can get a better plan that will provide for those that need it and not over tax those of us that pay for their own and pay for the needy.   A lot is resting on your shoulders Scott.  Good Luck.

So, what's your opinion?  Is the Health Care bill dead?  Is it a good or bad thing?  Opinions wanted.

It is a very good thing. You have to live in Massachusetts to know the full extent of our issues. Our Democratic party is a bunch of liars, cheaters, and thieves. Our last three Democratic speakers of the house are under criminal indictment.

That provides some insight. Thanks.
So they needed a change. I can understand that.
But aren’t all politicians like that? Lol!

That's not what those that want this Health Care bill to be made into law think.   To many people want free health care and not expect to contribute to it themselves.
