I just emailed Graham and pointed out that Brown has called himself a “fiscal conservative,” making Graham’s thesis invalid. (He asks “When did he ever call himself a “conservative.”)
Graham emailed me back with his straw man argument: “Brown is “Conservative” for Massachusetts. What did you expect Ron Paul...”
So all the Senators who voted Nay (i.e. RINO McCain and Dem Ben Nelson) are Ron Paulnuts? Graham’s thesis and argument does not hold water. He is a fraud like Brown.
I'm surprised Graham didn't justify his thesis on the ground that Brown didn't call himself a conservative Republican (which is what Graham's thesis is based on).
Another approach, one that is most common among the party faithful, is to redefine "fiscal conservative" as "borrowing and wasting 15 billion when the other guy wanted to waste more."
Just FYI, FReeper ‘suspects’ = Michael Graham
