To those who say Brown is just a RINO (and obviously we're not going to get a Dick Armey in MA), check out the following points that he raised in his victory speech:
- One thing is clear, voters do not want the trillion-dollar health care bill that is being forced on the American people.
- I will work in the Senate to put government back on the side of people who create jobs, and the millions of people who need jobs - and as President John F. Kennedy taught us, that starts with an across the board tax cut for individuals and businesses that will create jobs and stimulate the economy. It's that simple!
- And let me say this, with respect to those who wish to harm us, I believe that our Constitution and laws exist to protect this nation - they do not grant rights and privileges to enemies in wartime. In dealing with terrorists, our tax dollars should pay for weapons to stop them, not lawyers to defend them.
- Raising taxes, taking over our health care, and giving new rights to terrorists is the wrong agenda for our country.
Is he the fire-breathing red-meat conservative that we need at the top of our ticket in 2012? Probably not. But I doubt that he is the milque-toast, panty-waste, squishy republican turncoat that we have come to expect from Northeastern GOP senators over the years because of clowns like Spectre, and Chafee, and Jeffords, et al.
