Yes, Brown is a populist-type but he's still from "Taxachusetts" and heard him give high praises to MA Healthcare plan (ala Romney, another moderate-lite).
He also praised himself for "reaching across the aisle to work with the other party" ala George W. Bush!
Many of us here were very frustrated upon finding that though he has "conservative issues on life and anti-terrorism," was NO conservative on protecting our borders, refusing to sign campaign finance "reform," and on and on, so pleeeeeease, don't let's ascribe our conservative Reaganesque ideals to Brown as many people attached their own hopes to "Obama, The Messi-uh!"
your one of a very few that gets it my friend!
God Bless!
