I don’t care what Brown does or doesn’t do. He is 10000000 times better than that drunken commie who preceded him. Once McConnel grows a pair and decides that going nuclear and taking it to 51 votes is the only way to save this nation, Brown becomes a minor speedbump.
“Forget it Jake, it’s Massachusetts.”
McCain just found his bi-partisan RINO heir to the senate throne of chief quisling . Lindsay is deeply saddened.
Maybe Hillary Clinton should run as a republican because it sure looks like she’d have the vote of several FReepers.
“Maybe Hillary Clinton should run as a republican because it sure looks like shed have the vote of several FReepers.”
If she was running against Warren, I’d consider it. Only half-joking.
Warren is THAT horrible.
Sounds like a man who doesn’t expect to win.
Yep. I bet she would too.
He’s just saying what he has to say to have a chance to be reelected in MA.
Yes I do I grew up their and left...
I swear at the bottom of Quabbin their must be a big rock of Lithium near the outgoing piping keeping the entire state stoned because I can't explain it..
I go back and see what a talk-radio wasteland it is, the gun's I couldn't own, the medical system going to pot and the mid-set of eat more, drink more live for today I have lost my compassion and at this point the citizens get what they vote for...
The only solution is a land swap w/ Upstate NY and Spin off MA, CT, NY, VT and NH and create the Republic of Sovietista, and let them live their insane beliefs...
Scott Brown opposed the passage of Obamacare, but he may also oppose repealing it to. And when he does, all of you who are on my case right now, will tell us that he had to be against Repeal in order to win in Massachusetts. For Scott Brown, it all comes down to “winning in Massachusetts”, and he will vote as liberal as he needs to in order to keep winning.
Scott Brown has a Heritage Foundation voting scorecard of 41%, and an ACU rating of 50%. He’s not a conservative voter. We need more conservatives in states that aren’t dark blue.
WBUR poll shows Elizabeth Warren holding 5-point lead over Scott Brown in Mass. Senate race

Things don’t look good for Brown. And the internals of this poll don’t look suspect.
MASS TEA PARTY: MAKE SURE YOU PRIMARY THIS GUY OUT OF OFFICE NEXT TIME!!!
Only because they didn't need his vote to pass it. They did not "need 60" to pass it. Amazingly only the Stupid Party requires 60 to do anything.
He votes 50% of time on conservative issues? That’s very good for a Republican Senator from a Blue State!
Ideally, I’d love for Brown to be more conservative but all the Feeepers who resent him overlook the fact a Democrat will vote 0% of the time on issues conservatives consider important.
The same people who loathe Brown are the same people on here who don’t think twice of voting for RINO Mitt. Anti-Brown posters on this thread are hypocrites.
And they help the Democrats to undermine and obstruct the conservative agenda because they want a 100% pure conservative Republican candidate in a very liberal state.
Life doesn’t work like that. We can have a moderate Republican like Brown or a hard core Marxist like Elizabeth Warren.
What can’t we have is the impossible and conservatives who dream of that - well they can dream of that until the cows come home and the country won’t be better off!
Its pretty hard to have any optimism for the future of the country when even conservatives are utterly without principles.
I can’t believe all the claims of “Its OK he’s just lying to win.”
That being said, as much as Massachusetts now resembles a European social democratic country, political philosophy is transient. A century ago, the Bay State produced solid conservatives such as Henry Cabot Lodge, Sr., and Calvin Coolidge, while places like Montana, Kansas, and Oklahoma had strong Populist and Progressive movements, as well as active radical groups such as the Socialist Party and the IWW. Obama's maternal family roots are from Kansas, and his grandparents (who later lived on the West Coast) were politically leftist.
I totally agree and I doubt he’s lying (maybe about being a Republican) to win.
Our local paper recently endorsed my true conservative congressman. Its a liberal paper but their reasoning was sound. They simply say that my congressman has has been honest from day one. They said they couldn’t find anything in his legislative record that is out of step with the past campaign promises he’s made.
The fact that the democrat challenger is a placeholder doesn’t hurt. We’re looking at a good 60/40 election.
Watch a “Pubbie” or two forced to change parties..or go “independent” to avoid a winning vote by the DC Rinocracy on ObamaCare.
