There wasn’t any reason for people to feel deceived by Scott Brown, he made no secret of what he believed.
I never could understand the irrational exuberance in Scott Brown.
Bingo. Same goes for the "he's worse than Hitler" crowd. He is what he is - a moderate Republican from Massachusetts, of all places. Why can't we just agree that his election was a very good thing without thinking that he'd be a good choice for President?
Then you've never been in a state dominated by Teddy Kennedy for 50 years.
That said, I'm disappointed in Brown. He made it seem as though he'd block the entire Obama agenda by saying repeatedly "I'm the 41st vote"; and "This is the peoples' seat. Now he says he was sent to D.C. to be an independent 'bipartisan', not necessarily a representative of what his electorate wants. He's just another typical politician, slick, weasley and deceptive.
We in Mass. had more in mind than just Obamacare regarding that all important 41st vote. Who would have voted for Scott Brown had he told us that he'd vote for the next Screwulous Bill within two weeks of his being sworn in? He's got a real problem now. I will say this with certainty, if Brown thinks he can go against the grain of those who put him over the top in Mass., (the CONSERVATIVE independents), and get re-elected in 2012, he's mistaken. Brown has but two options for re-election; he either stands against Obama and actually cast that "41st vote" in the name of conservatism, or he's got to become just another New England RINO, (i.e. Snow, Collins), to please the liberals. My guess is that he's betting on the liberal RINO route.
