It's obvious that you are 127.7% pure conservative and will even find fault with Reagan and Goldwater, but some time you need to STFU.
This election is in taxachewits, and while Scott Brown isn't Ronaldus Maximus, he's no mcpain.
Give your purity a rest for a few days unless you have a candidate {that's on the ballot for Tuesday's election} that's better than Brown.
And he's the guy who can take away the Dem supermajority in the Senate. But some third-party Paultard types would rather the GOP not win in hopes of promoting their own party, no matter the cost to the entire country. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.
I would vote for Brown if I lived in MA but it’s fact he did vote for Romneycare. We should cover this up? I’d rather see it discussed. Facts are facts.
As to why Myth and McLame are backing him, they are unfortunately prominent Republicans, they will offer support to a Republican in a key special election and if he thinks they can help, that Republican will not refuse their aid.
The only other candidate on the ballot is running as an independent but he’s a libertarian and self proclaimed Tea Party candidate. His name is Joe Kennedy, because of that name he will likely take more votes from Croakly. He seems a typical Libertarian party type meaning he’s probably well to Brown’s right on fiscal issues but holds other views one may find unsavory, for example he says on his website he wants to repeal DOMA. He will get like 2-4% of the vote.
No one knows for certain how conservative Brown would vote. Some people like Rabs will not support anyone with the hint of a wrong view on any key issue. I don’t share that view but I respect it.
My view is there is a middle ground between voting for any piece of liberal trash just because they are an (R) (I DON’T respect that view) and dismissing the large majority of elected Republicans as just as bad as a rat and our enemy. I look at every race on a case by case basis.
I don’t think Brown is a Mark Kirk or Olympia Snowe. I hope I’m not wrong but I’d wager he’s a moderate-to-conservative like most people think. Even if he does suck he’s worth supporting now because of the critical Obamacare issue. If he turns out to be a liberal creep like Snowe or Ed Brooke (eww him and Barbara Walters...eww) then we can give him the kiss off in the future. Hopefully he’s a decent Republican.
