Talk about cocky…
Democratic candidate Martha Coakley went on vacation 20 days before the election to replace Ted Kennedy’s seat in Massachusetts.

Meanwhile, Scott Brown traveled the state this weekend speaking to small business owners.
Here’s another great video by the Scott Brown Campaign:

The Boston Herald reported:

Where’s Martha? Why didn’t she put out a statement regarding the attempted terrorist attack by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab? She is on vacation with 20 days to go until the election. Does Martha already need the rest or she just the most cocky candidate in the Commonwealth’s history?

Martha did make some time for a couple of campaign items such as refusing to debate Scott Brown one-on-one. During this election, she believes that every candidate has a right to be heard. That belief does not really cut it when Martha previously refused to debate her opponent in 2006.

Martha has also made time to attack Scott Brown’s latest television commercial. She finds the ad “misleading.” Scott has been naughty for pointing out how far left the Democrat party has gone. They no longer represent the working people. They represent the people who live off of taxpayer dollars and radical special interest groups.

I have no clue as to why Martha thinks the ad is ‘misleading.’ It talks about tax cuts helping the economy. I know it is not a concept that Martha gets, but there is nothing ‘misleading’ about it. What is misleading in this state is when a Democrat claims to be for cutting taxes and then does the exact opposite when elected like Governor Patrick. Furthermore, what is misleading is when a candidate for the Senate promises to raise multiple taxes during the primary and then puts out a plan calling for middle class tax cuts during the General elecion. Did I mention that Martha now has her own phony plan to help the middle class and businesses? If you believe it, please call me because I can make a good deal on some swamp land in Florida.

Do you really want a double-talking, arrogant, cocky, tax increaser, Obamacare supporter as our next United States Senator? I hope not! If you are voting for Scott Brown, absentee ballots are now available at town halls across the Commonwealth.

Coakley has also been dodging reporters. Senator John McCain released a video endorsing Scott Brown this week:

** You can make a donation to Scott Brown’s campaign here.

UPDATE: Lefty panic may be setting in.

UPDATE 2: Michelle Malkin has more on the race.

    Thank you Tim, for the info. You have surely swayed many an opinion.

    Anyway, Jim- if you didn’t read Ann Coulter’s piece on Coakley a few weeks ago, be sure you do. It was a wealth of information no one else has brought up thus far, to my knowledge.

    This is just one example of the arrogance of the democratic socialist party in Ma. They believe every election is theirs for the taking. Please vote for Scott Brown and show these sobs that the revolution has begun like it did over two hundred years ago. The time has come to take America back from the socialists who want to ruin this country. If not now…when? If not here then where? Please vote.

    I predict that Coakley will win by a margin of 6,500,226 votes in what will be certified by the state election board to be a totally legitimate voting process, with no outside influence present whatsoever.

    The fact that there’s just over 4,000,000 TOTAL registered voters in MA won’t bother anyone in any media anywhere, not even Fox News, which is slipping away from reality at an exponentially increasing rate of speed.

    Anyone else bothered by how many Democrat politicans went on vacation (especially to Hawaii) the same time a terrorist attack was planned? Did they know something we didn’t? Where were Giibs,Axelrod and Emmanuel by the way?

    How many dead voters in MA? I don’t trust the Dem. machine when it comes to elections. Well I don’t trust them for any reason. I will donate $25 to Brown, no more of my money to the GOP.

    The Dems seem very confident about re-election no matter what they do. I find this disturbing. Do they know something? Is election fraud going to guarantee their seats? Or have they been promised other goodies to ensure a sweet lifestyle, whether they are re-elected or not?

    Who cares what or whom McCain endorses? This is the same guy that, in a Presidential campaign, said we would be just fine if we voted for Obama. Obama is the most radical socialist/communist/ dictatorial president in American history. McCain helped put him there. Screw McCain and the rest of the rino’s in the GOP. The Teaparty people MUST sieze control of this party from the bottom up if America is to remain a free country based on Constitutional grounds.

    Solomon might actually be onto something. Mass. has long been suspected as having a problem with voter fraud. The dems learned a valuable lesson in 2000 when a Republican certified Bush as a winner. They went out and ran democrats for key positions at the state level. It paid off in Washington and this year in Minnesota.

    How bad is it? Let me tell you a story. I had a chance to work with Boston PD on a case back in the nineties. The LT. I spoke to sounded like a real nice regular fella, so I asked him why in the world they kept voting in Ted Kennedy. He said, “Well, it is like this. When we are mad at him, we only vote for him once…” There was a silence on the phone as it slowly sunk in, then I got it. Ted Kennedy could have been caught with a headless prostitute and with the knife in one hand and the head in the other and he would still be re-elected, mostly by dead people.

    It’s that bad.

    Coakley’s getaway is more strategic, in my view. I think she recognizes the threat, and feels that if she stays out of sight, she can’t lose something, rather than rising to the challenger and risking another flawed comment or position taken.

    David, You are exactly right! If Brown wins it puts and end to Obamacare, Cap and Trade and the liberal super majority they currently have. They will not be able to ruin the USA anymore if Scott Brown wins!

    I’m thrilled that you gave a $1000 donation. While I’m not in a position to give that much(thanks to Obama/Pelosi etc) I did make a donation of what I could afford. I’m planning on making another donation too.

    Whatever you all can afford, even just $5, trust me it will help and will save you way more money in the long run by avoiding all these liberals ideas to destroy all our wealth.

    Here is the link to Scott’s website to make a donation http://www.brownforussenate.com/

    I’m really hopeful we can make this happen!
