The former seat of Massachusetts, previously held by the (sadly) late Senator Ted Kennedy, has gone red. Scott Brown (R) has won in the special elect against Martha Coakley (D).
To start off, I think Jon Stewart really hit the nail on the head.

Democrats. I am an Independent. But, I side with the Democrats, for the most part. Just want to make that clear. Democrats...
Democrats, what the fuck is wrong with you? And I mean every word of that. The Republicans with a far smaller majority, could pass things like a beast. Now, this is partly because of this almost hive-mentality they have. There was talk of a Republican "purity test" but let's be honest; they've always been doing that. Just, not so, what am I thinking of...Not so evidently? They were always looking for those who strayed away from their core, and when someone did, they'd be struck down with criticism of "not being conservative enough" and the like. Democrats, of course, are not so unified; and that's fine, diversity is good.
What's not good, is when the Democrats can't even freaking bring even diversity together to get something passed. For Christ sakes, put some people's balls into the fire! Health care reform has been obstructed to a breaking point, watered down until it's almost nothing but water, and even then, you have people in your own party who aren't satisfied enough to vote; do something about it! Instead of just sitting on your hands and nodding, instead of fellating Joe Lieberman for his vote, threaten to take away his precious seat in the security council! At least, I think that's what it was. Tell Mary Landrieu to get bent! You spent all this time courting them, but what happened? You lost the progressives, you lost the strong liberals, you lost much of the independents. All because of a handful of people.
You have a freaking majority, and you STILL can't pass something? Democrats, you make me want to smash my head against the wall until my skull cracks. No wonder America is fucked. One party gets in power, and rapes us. Then the other gets in power, and sticks crayons up its nose, while playing Duck, Duck, Goose; except the Goose is someone they'll never catch.
Democrats. This loss of Kennedy's seat; it's YOUR fault. There's a lot of blame already going around in the party, but here, I'll break it down. it's ALL y'all fault. All of you clusterfucked this whole thing up. You should have paid some god damn attention, but you didn't. And when she dive-bombed into a mountain, you didn't notice until it was too late to pull up. I don't know what the hell you were doing, but the fact you didn't even notice, you're all to freaking blame.
I'm not happy to have a Republican like him win any seat. But maybe this kick to the nuts will make you shape up. But I really doubt it.
