2 More Days
Nov. 4th, 2012 09:10 pmI can't wait for this election to be over, especially because of the commercials and literally dozens of robocalls over the past few days, but I'm really fearful of the result. Or possible result.
Aside of the presidential race, the one to watch here in Massachusetts is of course the Scott Brown/Elizabeth Warren spectacle. I don't believe for a second that he's as bipartisan as he says he is, especially after he started soliciting cash from out-of-state telling people that a win for him could mean a Republican Senate majority. That possibility alone is reason enough not to vote for him. In one commercial, his wife claims he's "the most understanding of women of any politician I know." He says he's pro-choice, but apparently the issue of choice isn't very high on his list of Things That Matter. He says he supports equal pay for women, but he voted against it. And he voted for (or co-sponsored?) the Blunt Amendment.
I think most of the time he only votes with the Democrats when the results aren't close enough for one vote to matter, just so he can claim to be bipartisan. Even then, he probably still has to clear it with Mitch McConnell first.
In his negative ads, he claims Elizabeth Warren isn't who she says she is. Maybe, maybe not, but he isn't who he says he is either.
The only thing scarier than a Romney presidency is a Romney presidency with a Republican majority in both houses of Congress.
