Republican Scott Brown won an historic election last night in Massachusetts by defeating Democrat Martha Coakley to fill the Senate seat once held by Ted Kennedy for 47 years. Brown becomes the first Republican elected to the United States Congress in Massachusetts since 1972. This election breaks the Democratic stranglehold on the 60-vote majority in the Senate.

Many conservatives believe Brown's historic and revolutionary win in the Massachusetts seat sends a powerful and clear message: the American people are resisting the oppressive policies of the current administration.

"Let me be clear. Tonight a second American Revolution has begun in the great state of Massachusetts.  It is a revolution fueled by passion and the belief that the voice of people matters more than the narrow views of the political elite," Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, said Tuesday night. "A republican win in Massachusetts for the seat held by Senator Ted Kennedy for over  40 years was unthinkable even a few months ago.

What changed? As Mahoney sees it, the American people have become angry and frustrated by the policies of President Obama and Speaker Pelosi and the arrogant way they have completely disregarded the voice of the people.

"You cannot promise to be transparent in the health care debate and ensure it is shown on television and then try to hammer out closed back room deals and expect the American public to sit idly by," Mahoney said. "President Obama has been tone deaf when it comes to the desires, wishes and dreams of the American people."

Mahoney points to an example of the clash of beliefs of the American people and the Obama administration: 71 percent of the American people oppose public monies being used to pay for abortions yet President Obama has ignored this fact and pressed forward with this flawed health care reform.

U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference, said that while Brown deserves sincere congratulations on his election to the United States Senate, this election is about more than the success of one man – the American people have spoken.

“As they did in recent elections in Virginia and New Jersey, the American people are telling Washington, D.C. enough is enough. In this special election in Massachusetts they have sent a deafening message to the political class," Pence said. "After years of borrowing, spending, bailouts and government takeovers, the American people are demanding that this administration and this Democratic Congress come to its senses, end their fiscal recklessness and work to create jobs."

Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, said Brown's election to the Senate is another example of the energy and passion that has been brought to the Republican Party in the past year by new conservative leaders.

"Brown's victory would not have happened without the leadership of Tea Party activists, talk show hosts, bloggers, and others using the Internet," Viguerie said. "These new conservative leaders are forcing backbone and spine into the old and tired Republican Party leaders, who in early 2009 were afraid to publicly disagree with or challenge President Obama and his agenda."

Viguerie said this conservative Republican Senate victory in Massachusetts would not have been possible 25 years ago before the new and alternative media--talk radio, cable TV, Internet, bloggers, etc.

"The next battleground for these new conservative leaders against the establishment big-government politicians will be in Republican and Democratic primaries," Viguerie said. "These new conservative leaders are gearing up to challenge the political establishment regardless of party."

According to Mathew Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, the people of Massachusetts fired a shot heard ‘round the world,” Tuesday.

“We are witnessing a new revolution in America. It is a revolution of ideas and values. President Barack Obama misread his election victory to be a referendum on radical liberalism. It was not. The radical policies of Obama, Reid and Pelosi have been rejected," Staver said. "The tax and spend, big government, anti-life agenda has been pushed back. ObamaCare has been derailed. It is dead. If, after this election, the liberal wing of the Democratic Party tries to resurrect this Frankenstein called ‘healthcare’ and does not drastically change course, then the Massachusetts election will be a microcosm of November 2010.”

Staver said reality is stranger than fiction. He see it as ironic that the person who replaced Kennedy could be the deciding vote that kills government healthcare. Democratic and liberal pundits are pointing fingers at Martha Coakley as the reason for this historic shift in the election. In Virginia they tried to explain the defeat of liberal policies to a lackluster candidate. In New Jersey, they said Jon Corzine had too much baggage.

"Liberal Democratic leaders suffer from the same disease as alcoholics," Staver said. "Until they admit that the problem is their radical policies, they will continue to self-destruct.”
