Boston, Massachusetts (CNN) — Republican Scott Brown won a major upset victory in Tuesday’s special election for the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by liberal Democrat Ted Kennedy.
With 89 percent of the results counted, Brown had 52 percent of the vote to 47 percent for Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, the Democratic candidate, according to the the National Election Pool, a consortium of media organizations including CNN. Independent candidate Joseph Kennedy, a libertarian who is not related to the Kennedy political family of Massachusetts, had 1 percent.
I’m wondering when American voters are gonna wake up and realize the solution to our problems in this country do not lie in the hands of Republican or Democratic politicians. We aren’t happy with the Republicans so we elect a Democrat, we aren’t happy with the Democrats so we elect a Republican. Enough already, both parties are cut from the same cloth, they take special interest money from lobbyists and defend the special interests, they don’t care about you. It’s time that American voters started registering Indy and started electing Indy candidates. Fuck the two party system, it’s broken. Start electing people based on their values not on their political affiliation.
