Dr. King’s Dream: Electing Martha Coakley?

Massachusetts Democrat Martha Coakley says she wants to achieve Martin Luther King, Jr.’s unrealized dream.  What will it take to get there?

“I’m running for the United States Senate because Dr. King’s work is unfinished; his dream is unrealized,” she said.

“Tomorrow we act on the dream and we make sure that we allow me to continue that work,” Coakley said. “We remember the dream tomorrow and we will act on the dream tomorrow.”

Got that? Tomorrow, Massachusetts voters have a chance to make history by sending another white Democrat to the United States Senate.  And a vote for Republican Scott Brown, why, that’s basically a vote against King’s dream of equality, freedom, and justice for all.

In a nutshell: elect Martha Coakley or you’re a RAAAAACIST!!!

A white candidate plays the race card against her white opponent on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. What better way to honor King’s legacy?

    Uh… what????

    Yeah, I’m sure that King’s dream included sending a white woman to the senate who, as DA, wouldn’t prosecute a case involving the rape of a toddler where a hot object was used.

    Sorry, I’m having trouble focusing on any other aspect ow this woman.

    I’ve got some more appropriate slogans. How about this:

    “A vote for Coakley is a vote against child safety.”

    Or:

    “A vote for Coakley is a vote against justice for victims of childhood rape.”

    Or even:

    “A vote for Coakley is a vote for wrongfully prosecuting innocent people of child molestation.”

    Heh. But DodiaFae, see everything Martha Coakley did was in the name of The Dream, so that makes it ok. Get with the program! ;)

    I’m sure MLK would look at the decades long Democratic controlled cities like Detroit and be proud that Coakley would continue and perpetuate the legacy of government ensured poverty, blight, and dependence on politicians.

    Re:1) I’ll give you this one. (Most) Democrats seem to support fudning for fundamental scientific research to a larger extent than (most) Republicans. Although, I’d be interested to see a detailed analysis of voting records in Congress to confirm that.2) She hasn’t screwed up being a senator yet. Well, she hasn’t been a senator yet. What she has been is a district attorney and Mass. Attorney General, and Orac pointed out how great’ she was at that.3) In the primary, she was responsive to the Democratic rank-and-file. How much of the state is Democratic rank-and-file’? Most articles I’ve read put Democratic Party registration at under 40% of registered voters. I can understand if you consider that a plus, if that’s how you identify yourself. But unless you expect a bunch of independents to just go along with what the Democratic rank-and-file want, then she’ll need to respond to a lot more of the public than that.4) She’s good on the issues, particularly women’s health and rights, as well as cleaning up Wall Street. Is this pandering’? Probably. But who cares? For once, a Democrat is pandering to Democrats, instead of rewarding the other guy. I’ll admit, that not living in Massachusetts, I don’t know either candidate well. Just going by his website, Brown doesn’t strike me as a typical pro-life type, in that he has a vaguely worded statement about abortion being a conversation between a woman and her doctor. Yes, he’s against partial birth abortion and for adoption and parental notification, but those aren’t nearly as much of fringe opinions among independents as you might think.As for Wall Street, will she also go after Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae? Those firms might end up costing taxpayers more than the entire TARP program. (Of which, some banks have been paying the loans back, correct? Will the same be true of those two?)
