Massachusetts, the bluest of blue states, has never been a particularly comfortable place for Republicans. The Bay State hasn’t thrown its electors behind a GOP presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan won the White House, and it hasn’t had a Republican member of the House in more than a decade. But earlier this year, Scott Brown decided he could defy the odds. As he traveled the state campaigning for the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s vacant seat, he ran as a partisan, an antidote conservative who promised to stick it to Obama and the Senate Democrats, especially on health care.
Brown’s huge gamble paid off. He crushed the establishment Democratic candidate, lifting the spirits of Republicans, Tea Partiers, and everyone else who was fed up with Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress. When people asked for this newly minted celebrity’s autograph, Brown signed his name, followed by the number “41,” signifying the critical vote the GOP needed to shoot down the president’s signature legislation.

I hope the citizens of Arizona defeat this pretender so we don’t have to listen to his tripe for another six years or more.
I’m sorry, but after the complete dump of the Republican party the country did, these dinosaurs didn’t get it then, and they don’t get it now. We are utterly unprepared to enter the next two elections with no real message to promote, and new faces are absolutely necessary to deliver it if we ever get one worth a damn.
As a republican, I’m telling you that to contribute to the RNC is to urinate your money away; find individual races to contribute to- make it your business, and not the RNC’s. Obviously, they can’t be trusted with your money.
McC has linseed doing his dirty work, aided and abetted by scott brownose.
Brown is not done playing with Rats.
“On a climate and energy bill, Brown is one of the few GOP players being actively courted by Democratic leaders. As long as it doesn’t include cap-and-trade, he says, he’ll probably vote for that one too. In one of his first votes ever, on a jobs bill in February, Brown stunned his party by helping push Democrats over 60. And on the confirmation of Elena Kagan, his home-state newspapers suggest he has no good reason to vote no, unless to throw a token bone to conservatives back home, which would be highly out of character.”
This is why I have turned off all the "Conservative" Talk Shows. I already know the bad news. We don't need to be told over and over that we have been poisoned. We need the antidote.
GOP, where are the:
The RNC may as well forget about any of my money, until they learn that “republican” means something specific and isn’t just a name.
So far, the national Republican Party is proving to be worthless in knowing how to win elections.
Brown was tagged as the weak link from the get go. And it has proven to be a fact.
He is spineless in his hooking up with the bobsey twins from Maine.
It’s embarrassing in that he is incapable of standing on any principle at all.
If we get our act together in November his vote will be meaningless but for now he’s our cross to bear. I don’t see him as any improvement over Kennedy.

McCain has shown over and over again that he lacks sound-minded discernment on the most important matters. For instance:
McCain told supporters there was nothing to fear from an Obama presidency.

John McCain on NBC’s Meet the Press: [Hillary Clinton] would make “a good president.”

Well, so far Brown has been: NO on Obamacare, YES on 'jobs' bill, YES on so-called financial reform, but NO on amnesty and NO on an energy bill that includes cap and trade.
He won't be chosen conservative of the year, but he opposed Obamacare, and if he holds against amnesty and cap and trade, he is light years better then Juan McCain and possibly a few others we could name, not even to mention how Coakley would have voted had she won.
Work to defeat and replace Dims in red states to make a real difference. Worrying about Brown's mixed voting pattern will accomplish nothing, and I'm sure glad he's there instead of Coakley.
I'm glad he's against cap-and-trade but knowing this RINO all the Rats have to do is rename it to crap-and-tax and he'll be the first to vote yes.
TRANSLATION: Brown, like McCain, LIES about who and what he is at election time. The American people are getting to know him NOW, for the sell-out RINO he really is.
McCain is directly responsible for the election of Barrack Obama to the White House. Supported by other RINO’s to win the nomination, then it was a matter of the American voter who thought they were making the best choice. Wrong, but the die was cast when McCain was nominated.
