Incredible, just like Election2008 - but different GOP target.
Freepers turned on Brown immediately ... like weeks ago. The Purity Police are killing this place!
Unless you are calling Scott Brown a Romneybot. Because I do remember something in his speech about Romney and the election, what was it:
Im grateful to all those from across Massachusetts who came through for me even when I was a long shot. I especially thank a friend who was there with encouragement from the very beginning, and helped show us the way to victory - former Governor Mitt Romney.I heard others say stuff like that -- but that's not the same as your claim that they said he was "nothing".
Frankly, I'm surprised you aren't here attacking Romney for supporting a RINO like Scott Brown, a pro-abortion candidate at that. A lot of people who were so "principled" in attacking Romney for his once-held abortion views were quite enthusiastic about supporting a pro-abortion candidate in this case.
Some were not, and I admire them for their principles. There were some freepers who were willing to lose this seat, and endure Obamacare, in order to remain true to their beliefs and their resolve to never support a candidate who wasn't pro-life.
I'm very happy Scott Brown won -- but I could not bring myself to send him money. I'm glad I didn't have to decide whether or not to vote for him, I'm not sure I could have pulled the lever.
But i guess I'm a hypocrit, since I was happy to cheer him on, and encourage others to vote for him. Pragmatism is a strong, and in this case a valuable and good, motivator to temper idealistic adherence to principles.
Anyway I was glad to see that the anti-Romney folks at the site did not let his close involvement in the Brown race, and Brown's to-the-left-of-Romney views, to overcome the sense that we needed to win that Senate seat.
Not that I don't expect to see Romney 1994 video supporting abortion back on the top of the pages shortly, because the race is over, and we can go back to attacking Senate candidates from Massachusetts who supported abortion.
