This all but guarantees the bill is going through. Here's his statement:

While it isn't perfect, I expect to support the bill when it comes up for a vote...

From the looks of things not one Republican is going to fight 0Care.

They’re crawling back into their holes and sucking their thumbs.

Actually the only way that any of 0b0z0's socialist-commie-crap programs are going to be reversed or repealed is only when 12-14 states (hopefully led by TX, OK, & AZ) would secede from the union or simply pass some state bills that declare these states will no longer contribute to or pay Federal taxes (including SS, Medicare & Medicaid) of any sort. Hopefully that will provoke Am Rev II or CW II, that is necessary to incinerate the socialist-demoRATS & commie pigs, from their slimy holes, and to take our country back from the socialist-commie RAT bastard demoRAT pigs.

There is always a ‘none of the abopve’ on the ballot.....one way or another via write ins. More people should stick to their principles and use it imo.

We sent the guy money. I broke my newfound rule (since Schwarzenegger) that a big government liberal Republican is worse than a big government liberal Democrat.

I still don't regret sending him money. I sent him money to stop Health DEATH Care. If it had come to a Senate vote, I know Brown would have voted against it. I did not have any more expectations of him. I don't need to sen him any more money, though.

AW, I know you are trying to be humorous and I like the graphic, but I would appreciate some serious advice.

“Vote for Sailor Jerry” is funny but not useful.

“Move to another state” isn’t going to help.

“Use ‘none of the above’ “ is the same as not voting, and I am sick and damn tired of being disenfranchised with Kennedy, Kerry and now Brown.

Okay my FRiend...in all seriousness:

You're stuck in one of the most liberal states in the country. That a Republican was elected at all to Ted Kennedy's seat is nothing short of a small miracle. I don't care how bad of a campaign Coakley ran, she still should have won that race given Massachusetts past voting history.

Any movement to the right is going to be slow and incremental. Two steps forward, one step back. All you can do is what you probably already do. You show, by example, that conservatives are good, decent hard working honest people who don't really hate the poor and anybody who isn't white. You live in Massachusetts, there isn't going to be a tidal wave to the political right. Just be content knowing that very small streams eventually become big rivers.

Your only other option is to move. But Massachusetts is a beautiful state and I'm sure you have roots there. Be content with the victories you can dig out and know you're fighting the good fight. Look at the forest and not the trees.

I've far exceeded my quota of mixed metaphors. Have a good evening. :)

A vote for anyone other than the Republican is a vote for the Democrat. Write-ins are a wasted vote. I doubt they’re even counted.

Thank you.

Too often I hear things like “Move out of Massachusetts” as the only option. I was thrilled when Scott Brown was elected, because for the first time in my adult life, I was being represented by someone not named Kennedy or Kerry or another equally worthless liberal.

I take my rights as a citizen seriously, and I must say, since the early eighties, I have had to be content with hoping my vote would make a difference at the national level every four years, because it sure wasn’t going to be a drop in a bucket of warm spit at the local (even the town) level.

There were a lot of Freepers advocating not voting at all in the 2008 presidential campaign, their reasoning being that an overwhelming liberal presence at the national level would hasten the disgust the country has will liberalism and accelerate the national sentiment away from it, where having a candidate like McCain would lend a conservative imprimatur to liberalism.

I thought that was insane, the equivalent of throwing gasoline on a fire, burn down the house so you can get it rebuilt faster kind of thought process.

Now I wonder, except that up here in Massachusetts, our house is simply made of fire and gasoline, so nobody would notice the difference if it was all far left liberals.

Geez. Now I am mixing metaphors...

You are wrong, there are a few REAL conservatives running in Massachusetts. I am one and there are a couple of others, we are being damaged greatly by that RINO Scott Brown.
Here in Mass, many of us knew he is a RINO all along. There are real conservatives here and we need help, it seems the voters in Massachusetts are really considering us, but we need help.
I feel like that little kid in the Dr Seuss story that has to scream to save their little world in the flower. I’m screaming that we do exist in this state.

You vote your way sweetie and I’ll vote mine. At the end of the day we all have to live with ourselves and I got sick of going along to get along and then getting stabbed in the back years ago.

I once lived in Massachusetts.

Conservatives are such a minority, they couldn't even mount a decent potluck.

I feel this pain myself. Here in Kansas, outside Kansas City in Johnson County, we have nine people who are running for the House of Reps. 9 people and so at least two candidates, Patricia lightner and Dan Gilyeat, are claiming to be the most conservative, but as you can see they will split the vote and a Liberal will win. If the Liberal, Kevin Yoder, becomes the republican nominee for the 3rd district here, I will not be voting for the anymore in that race in November.

I mean I will not be voting for Kevin Yoder or possibly anyone other than Patricia or Dan if they win the nomination.

Scott Brown’s decision to support is a shame but not unexpected to me. He wasn’t conservative, but the best option left in that state. However, he is sadly ruining the country just like Romney will do if he becomes president. Be careful as there will be liars among the people running this year. Sad.
