Scott Brown’s astounding victory in Massachusetts last week was more than a shot across the bow; it torpedoed the notion that the healthcare “crisis” was at the top of everyone’s list of concerns since Obama took office.  In fact, most polls had the economy as Americans’ first concern, at 60%.  Healthcare?  5%.  That’s right.  5%.  Like cap and tax, Obama’s healthcare debacle is a failed power grab to wrest individual freedoms from each of us.  Many in the drive-by media have subjected us to the notion that if only we had universal healthcare, the seas would part, the sun would shine and our economy would rebound.

Scott Brown reminded those in Washington’s bubble, in no uncertain terms, what we in the Heartland have been saying all along:  Knock it off.
