Morning Maniac Music for the Volunteers Getting Out the Vote Today

This is for all the volunteer campaign workers of both candidates in Mass., trying to get out the vote for their candidate.

While BTD wants Coakely to win, I want Coakely to lose. She's too big a risk. The thought of another career prosecutor bent on the old law and order, crime warrior model, is a bigger threat to me than the possibility of losing the House version of the Health care bill. I'm resigned to the health care bill -- a bill that after all the compromising, bears little resemblance to what we progressives initially envisioned. I am not resigned to a Senator who will arrive in DC with alliances already formed with crime bill pushers like DiFi, Joe Biden, and every victims rights group in the nation. How long till we see a crime bill co-sponsored by Coakely and Jeff Sessions? [More...]

The damage Martha Coakley will do to the Bill of Rights, which was designed to protect the citizen accused, not crime victims, over the course of her Senate career, is potentially enormous. Scott Brown is a fly-by, he'll be gone in 3 years, and the first two, he'll still be learning his way to to the bathroom.

Despite what the polls say, I think the monied special interests in the Dem. party, party leaders from Obama to Bill Clinton, and unions from the SEIU to the labor unions, will pull this one out for Martha. I hope I'm wrong.

But props to the volunteers for both, who care enough to get involved and take it to the streets, knocking on doors to get their voters to the polling places.

The candidate with the best ground game should win, regardless of the polls.

If Martha loses, the Dems should think twice next time before selecting their nominee. Even if she wins, she was a disaster of a candidate.

    WSWS: Democrats in crisis over Massachusetts (5.00 / 2) (#1)
    by Andreas on Tue Jan 19, 2010 at 04:32:25 AM EST

    Three selected paragraphs from a WSWS article on the Senate race:

    Under the undemocratic US two-party system, there is no reflection of the leftward-moving views and aspirations of the broad masses. If the people of Massachusetts were actually voting in a referendum on an even minimally progressive healthcare program--say, the expansion of Medicare to cover every American--there is little doubt they would approve it by a massive majority. Obama gives them no such choice. ...

    At least in the short term, the mass disappointment and growing anger toward Obama and the Democrats redounds to the advantage of the Republicans. The perverse peculiarity of the US two-party system is that no matter how often voters express their desire for progressive change, the candidates once in office discard their campaign promises and ignore the views of the voters, in order to serve the interests of the financial-corporate elite. However bitter the internecine rivalry between the two parties, there is little in the way of substantive differences dividing them.

    The fact that the Democrats have so much difficulty beating, and could even lose to a run-of-the-mill right-wing politician in the most liberal US state is a testimony to their bankruptcy and political duplicity.

    Martha Coakley is a spectacular progressive (5.00 / 1) (#2)
    by No Blood for Hubris on Tue Jan 19, 2010 at 06:09:40 AM EST
    candidate, a fact which has been obscured by a torrent of Psychic-Scream-style  propaganda.

    Initially, I supported Coakley because of her excellent record on domestic violence and child abuse, but when I met her in person, and heard what she had to say, I was bowled over.

    Those who think that passioante progressive Coakley is no better than Brown have been infected with the "Bush is Gore" viral mindset, which resulted in the death of millions.

    Not only is she better than Brown, she is a superior candidate.  It will be our loss, and our fault, should she lose.

They use their TeeVee to keep us arguing about things that are irrelevant while they continue to take away Constitutional protections against use of the criminal justice machinery for corporate gain, fiat, and extortion.

    Health care doesn't matter if you are convicted felon. You're not getting any anyway. Nor are you getting a job, even if there were any. They are steadily working on ramping up the criminalization of poverty.

    I hate to say it, but the Murkin people are going to get what the asked for and deserve. And they are going to get it soon. I think it is a shame they get to destroy the rest of us in the process of their foolery.

The big computer companies have already built models for them. As they develop the technology to control the movements and activities of people more effectively, it will be used to monitor and confine the working class. The rational will be that we have committed "crimes", but the "punishment" will be "humanitarian" -- "house arrest" with control of all movement by computers and satellites coupled with forced labor.

    If the most important reason to vote for Coakley the Dems can come up with is their botched, unpopular, crony capitalist Senate health care plan, their prospects don't look good.

    But does it matter?

    I no longer expect the Democratic party to lead us out of the economically bleak, repressive, authoritarian, politically stuck wilderness they have worked hand in hand with Republicans to lead us into over the last 30 years.

    More and more I'm coming to believe that it already has "happened here" and the Democrats, rather than being a positive force against that development have been willing enablers.

    The "hope" Obama offered was a promise to resist, to attempt to turn the tide. But, that promise has already been demonstrated as false.

    I no longer believe this state of affairs can or will be changed at the ballot box. I think serious economic disruption and social unrest are inevitably in our future. Today's leaders can't help us through it, today's state of affairs won't stand. But what, and who, comes after?

    ...2009 hasn't been a disaster? It's relative, I suppose. If it's only been major disaster for 20% of us, an average disaster for another 10%, but just a minor disaster for 50%, then for 20% of us it hasn't been a disaster at all. It could have been a major disaster for 30%, average for another 20%, and a minor disaster for 40%, and only 10% would have been spared any kind of disaster at all.

    So, give credit to Democrats for keeping the top 20% of us from disaster altogether, and the rescue efforts that have (so far) prevented 80% from major disaster.

    I don't know, when I add it up, saying "it will be a disaster if Brown wins," sounds, um, funny.

    A Coakley loss would in my view be the best hope Democrats have of staving off bigger losses in November.  A loss might, repeat might, reuslt in Obama, Reid, Pelosi & Co. answering the wake up call to address the desires of the base, i.e., progressives.  It is, sadly, also at least equally likely Dems would in response to a Coakley loss capitulate to the GOP even more.

    A Coakley win, even a narrow one, would problaby be seen by Obama and Congressonal leaders as affirmation of their policies and politics.  Positive reinforcement of negative behavior is a dangerous thing.  It might mean for Democrats winning the battle (Mass Senate) and losing the war (Nov elections).

    We live in a world where all things military, prosecutorial, police etc are reflexively viewed as sacred and presumptively to be accepted whatver the proposition might be.  Another prosecutor, general or flag-waving war-hawk in power is nearly always dissappointing to me.  Folks in these professions or with these beliefs are all too human, often espousing "patriotic," "moral," or "tough on crime" positions simply to scare and then pander to fearful voters.  Not anything readers here don't already know, but the cumulative effect of these pols continues to eviscerate our Constitutional republic.

    I guess I am indifferent to her winning or not, which should scare Democrats because with the sole exception of a one time vote for John Chafee, I never vote to send a Republican to DC.

    Brown is pro-torture, anti-gay, anti-choice, flat-tax, right-wing conservative who attacked Coakley for being "soft on crime".  Sending him to the senate is NOT a good thing.

    For me, though, the reason I just went and voted none of the above is that this is a rare chance for citizens to actually have something of a direct vote on an important issue in congress.  Coakley said she would vote for a healthcare bill that not only doesn't achieve it's stated goals, but also further codifies economic unfairness and second class citizenship for women into federal law.  Voting for Coakley equals voting for that bill, and I couldn't in good conscience do that.

    Lastly, Ted Kennedy's close ally got appointed to take the seat temporarily and a quick special election was called.  It's beyond me what you imagine Ted Kennedy could have done to "control the replacement process" beyond that.  Whether you like it or not, the people of Massachusetts get to decide who their senator is, not Ted Kennedy or "Team Obama" or anybody else.

    In the primaries, she actually ran the most anti-establishment, most liberal campaign of the four Democrats running.  Unlike Capuano, who voted for the House bill containing Stupak, or the other two (one of whom is a Romney Republican who ran as a Democrat, and the other was trying to an Obama-like hope-n-change campaign), she stuck up for actual liberal principles (as I stated up above, anti-war, anti-wall street, anti-healthcare bill that further codified second class citizenship for women).

    The problem only came when she flipped from a liberal agenda to Obama's agenda.  And that pleased no one.  It fired up the Republicans and libertarians, and it demoralized the liberals.  No doubt there was a lot of pressure on her from the national party to do this, and the irony is palpable, but it is what it is.

    wasn't much of a question, it was more of an assertion, which is what I was responding to.  Sorry if you were offended.

    I object vehemently to the idea that Ted Kennedy is somehow to blame for all this.

    Having been in the Democratic party all his life, he should have known that if they was a way of screwing up a good thing, Democrats would find it!
