I heard today that word has slipped out unintentionally from the bastion of integrity that is our senate majority leader, Harry Reid, that should Scott Brown (R) win the vacant Massachusetts senate seat instead of the Democratic candidate next Tuesday, that the senate will wait to certify the results thereby seating then Republican Senator Brown until AFTER the health care legislation is completed and signed into law.
Of course the purpose of this is so that the Democrats can maintain their filibuster-proof majority and pass this egregious un-Constitutional health care monstrosity. Never mind that precedent in the senate has always been to certify and seat special election winners within a day to a week at most after such elections. The Democrats don't want to risk this though because the current Democrat seat-holder appointed to temporarily fill the seat vacated by Tedd Kennedy's death is reliably in the Democrats' camp on this issue. The Democrats have said they will delay certifying Brown, if that is the outcome of the special election next week, for months if necessary so that health care may be passed.
It is ironic considering that Tedd Kennedy came to the senate as the outcome of a special election many many decades ago and was certified by the senate and seated the next day. Sounds like politics as usual to me, but the wrath of the American voters is coming this Fall, and I bet Senator Reid will reap his just rewards then.

Sorry, buddy, but this is a disproven myth made up by Glenn Beck and passed along the right wing noise machine. No single official in the state of Massachusetts has ever said such a thing. Mr. Brown, should he be elected and he is acting quite presumptuous if you ask me, now has a few lies under his belt. Nice of him not to wait til he got to DC to start lying with the rest of the GOP caucus.
First, there is this silly conspiracy theory about when he would be seated, and now he says he never heard of the tea party movement and has never been a part of it. Hmmmm....except that he has photos on his website of him addressing a teabagger rally. And he held a special breakfast with the 'baggers just last week. Looks like Brown was for teabagging before he was against it.
If Mr. Brown is indeed a supporter of the Tea Party movement, then that only further makes him better suited to be a senator in my eyes.
And for the record, I did not get my information on this from Glenn Beck.
