Let's remember that Scott Brown thought it was just fine for Obama to declare the Senate in recess

Posted on 01/25/2013 11:35:46 AM PST by cotton1706

Scott Brown clearly felt that his oath to support and defend the Constitution was not worth anything at all. For when President Obama just, on his own authority, declared the Senate in recess and appointed officials to fill select vacancies.

Those appointments have now been ruled unconstitutional and beyond the president's power.

Senator Kerry will likely be confirmed to be Secretary of State next week. Let's not have Scott Brown as the republican nominee to replace him. He doesn't give a damn about the Constitution and just wants power.

Hopefully, Keith Ablow will run, or somebody else who will stand by the Constitution.

Deval Patrick has zero likelihood of appointing the
RINO Scott Brown (trained toadee of Mitt RomneyCARE).

The value of Brown was his first campaign, a classic Reagan campaign, and his take down of the Kennedy seat. Beyond that, having a true conservative from Massachusetts for a long time just ain’t gonna happen. Brown has been a disappintment, but I blame Mass citizens for that as much as him. Mass is what it is, a very socialist leaning disaster.

Pet peeve of mine, sorry: when someone tells me to "remember" something, I'd like some factual data of what I need to "remember" (such as a link, in this case). Your opinion of what I need to "remember" has little value.

Brown was in it for himself. He rode to victory on the back of a tremendous conservative effort to get out the vote and then promptly voted with Obama at every critical opportunity. The ads he ran in the last few weeks of the campaign revealed his true liberal persona - pro abortion, pro homosexual, pro spending, pro tax.

Agreed. That's what I was going to say.

Brown's value was as a poke in the eye to the Kennedy clan.

He did that. He's done. He should enjoy his Senate retirement and eat some Cherokee crab dip.

Scott Brown was, and is, a disappointment to Tea Party advocates who once backed him.

Brown was not a Tea party conservative, he was a PUB...and a pub serves as a deterrent to the rats, maybe just in holding the place in line....

we're going to need PLACE HOLDERS for sometime just to get our foot in the door....

but no, that seems unreasonable to many freepers who think that we can in one swipe of our clenched fist smash all the rats and leftists....

the rats play the game to win...conservatives play it so they can be martyred and say "told you so" while our country fades....

I question the manhood of many freepers....I really do....they seem to wilt at anything...

Beck has been talking how the Chinese and the progressives have planned their takeover for decades....

yet we can't seem to support one offline pub because he isn't so pure as the divine conservatives we've imagined....

its just pathetic...

Scott Brown is already out of office. He’s already demonstrated that he’s a loser and he would likely lose again if he’s renominated.

Scott Brown is not the only person in the state who can run for office. We should nominate somebody else because Brown will screw us if he’s the nominee and he’ll screw us if he gets re-elected (which isn’t likely).

If you think it’s dumping on a public official to remind the people that he couldn’t care less about the law he’s sworn to protect and defend, then so be it.

Barely. The point is he should not again be the republican nominee.

In Massachusetts I’d take any republican who can win. Nationwide, or in a red state, I’d feel different. At least he didn’t hug Obama on national TV like that fat rino and stupid Christie.

Yep, taking Ted’s seat was a blast, and I’m glad that technology allowed me to work for that campaign.

Now it is time for Brown to pay for his sins of proving to be even more liberal than he needed to be, he is a Romney like jerk with no inner core that has any value to the GOP, he needs to be pushed out of GOP politics for good.

Brown is Brown and Massachusetts is Massachusetts, and we’re NEVER going to change Massachusetts.

I’m not worried about Brown, as his days on national scene are probably over, and he’s done us one huge favor.

I’m more worried about Cornyn from Texas, Graham from South Carolina, Chamibliss from Georgia, Burr from NC, McCain from Arizona, than I am Brown from Massachusetts. It’s those red state moderates that KILL us. Mass is Mass, period. (and yes, I was thrilled Saxby is not running in 14)

Scott Brown does not belong in GOP politics, just like Romney he has shown himself an enemy of the GOP.

Brown was supported, won a Senate seat, and turned out to be personally liberal, so personally liberal that he moved left when he didn’t need to, he is an anti-us, not a Massachusetts compromise.
