Ifferjenn Independent

Also, I’m not quite sure how to screen my ads on Google just yet, but I see that I’m currently showing an ad for Scott Brown. And I would like to point out that I do NOT support Scott Brown for the special election in Massachusetts. Aside from the fact that I’m pretty far left on the spectrum, and Mr. Brown is a republican, but there was this one quote I caught on NPR before his last debate with Martha Coakley (D) and Joseph L. Kennedy (I). It said something to the effect of, “It’s really a two-party system here. And it’s a shame that we can’t have a debate directly between myself and Martha Coakley.”

I’ll admit I didn’t do a good job (any job) of researching the exact quote, but that was the gist. And really, my reaction to that is FUCK YOU. Let’s face it, Scott Brown, if you do go work in the Senate, you’ll have at least two Independents in there you’ll be working with. And guess what? Your party wants to woo those Independents away from caucusing with the Democrats. So by saying that the Independents have no say, it’s not hard for me to interpret that to mean that you don’t recognize that they should be in the Senate.

Thank you Mr. Brown. I am now solidly voting for Martha Coakley.
