i just want to know how the Tea Party and all the conservatives who backed him were so deceived? did he not have a rino’s record? out and out lying on his part?

No deception. He did not vote for ObamaCare. No one expected him to be the second coming of Paul Laxalt.

Just as certain programs have different payouts based on local cost of living, we ought to have different expectations based on region, with a certain underlying set that corresponds to conservative as the default position.

Chris Christie is very good ... for New Jersey.
Peter Fitzgerald was excellent ... for Illinois.
Scott Brown is pretty darn good ... for Massachusetts.
Carly Fiorina might be tolerable ... for California.


Now, what I want to know is why the best South Carolina had to send us was Lindsey Graham? Or why the Florida establishment was so keen on us getting Charlie Crist? Who thought that Elizabeth Dole was a worthy successor to Jesse Helms in North Carolina?

Now there comes a point with some of these folks when you wonder if they really like being Republicans, that you have to decide whether you are better off without 'em, and nothing should stop you from primary-ing them. Snowe and Collins come to mind here. We were better off replacing Weicker with a Democrat (Lieberman) in Connecticut.

The problem is that ObamaCare passed anyway without Brown so now he was irrelevant in one issue but then backs the Rats on another?

I don't think he's actually a RINO, I think he's a full fledged Rat.

When Crap and Trade comes up he will once again vote with the Rats.
