It’s The People’s Seat
UPDATE #2: Meehan was hired by the DNSC to help Coakley’s struggling campaign with ‘messaging.’ So, ‘technically’ he IS a campaign operative and he apparently attacked a reporter. Oh, and BTW, he is an Obama appointee. Nice.
Regardless of the outcome of the Massachusetts special election for US Senate, this has got to be the defining moment ofthe year 2010:
More of this type of thinking has got to break into the conscience of the American public. Government does not give us our rights, God does. Government, party, and family dynasties do not hold claim to certain positions of power, it belongs always to the people being represented.
If we don’t take that power back from the people in government at ALL levels this year, we are going to lose what has made America great for 200 years. We will be eclipsed by the Chinas, Russias, and Indias of the world.
I’m just sayin……
UPDATE:
Leaving the state of Massachusetts to raise money at the feet of the Washington, DC power elite, MA Attorney General and Democratic candidate for ‘Kennedy’s’ seat in the US Senate witnessed an assault on a reporter for the Weekly Standard.
The dude doing the pushing? One Mr. Meehan, who it turns out, is a Democratic ’strategist’ and a huge Coakley supporter! The guy on the ground? Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack, who was asking Coakley questions she wanted to avoid. Her statement? “I didn’t see what happened.” Look at the photo, does it look like she wasn’t aware?
Here is the video Neal Cavuto played on FOXNews about events immediately after the body-check took place:

Now, I’m not a numerologist of any sort. I just notice patterns. There have been two defining moments in America’s recent history: The terrorist attacks on the twin towers — 9/11 and Senator Brown’s victory over Coakley effectively derailing the filibuster-proof democratic majority — 1/19. (Even the years are mirror images.)
Wouldn’t it be great if 1/19 was the start of moving back in the right direction? We could make it a national holiday years from now…. if things truly change for the better. I feel like we are in a time where we will go one way or another in the next year. One way will lead to our demise as a free people, the other back to our roots of liberty and freedom. I don’t think we can continue to yo-yo between left and right…. we need to go back the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. (my opinion)
