Maybe so, but the bottom line is that the GOP is embracing ANOTHER Progressive, is it not? I hope I'm wrong.
We are not “embracing” Scott Brown, we are killing Obamacare, the dem supermajority, and starting the snowball that will end in their complete defeat in November. It would be so incredibly foolish to throw a purity fit in this particular case at this particular time.

May well be - except that's NOT the "bottom line" in this case. the BOTTOM LINE is to get that seat - and it won't be just a victory for Brown - but the entire republican party and the entire country.
The ramifications of winning THAT seat will reverberate across this land.
When you are in a starving situation, 3/4's of the pie is better than none at all - too many 'pristine' republicans throwing the baby out with the bath water got us this administration.
So, with due respect, hold your water.
Look noob Brown has a better chance of having a positive effect on the pro life movement than Martha the idiot does. So why not just buck up and play for the long haul. Brown is a damn sight better than Kennedy or Martha the idiot. The left wins because they are always playing the long game. OH and it will be Dems and indies that put Brown over the top. There are not enough registered Reps in mass to fill Fenway. Grow up and play to win the game. Unless of course you are an eyore plant troll then just shut the F up and go away.
We need to defeat Germany before we go after Japan.
Pray for Scott Brown
The other choice is a sure vote for 0bama-care. Brown said he'd be the 41st vote against it. Maybe he's a RINO but it's MA so you won't do better. Stop this trainwreck of an administration first, clean up the party next. It took awhile to sink this low it'll be awhile to get out of the muck. Brown may not be the perfect candidate but he's a shot across the bow of team Zer0.
Read up on Brown and decide if you think he’s a “progressive” by Massachusetts standards....

From what I have read, Brown is center-right. Low tax, small government AGAINST government involvement with health care.
If you want a perfect Conservative, elect Rush or Shawn. If you want to keep the Socialists from taking over, elect those who at least SKEW in our direction.
Conservatives have a very bad history of getting involved one election too late. We need to get involved NOW for the 2010 and 2012 Generals, not wait until after the primary then complain about the R candidate. NY23 was a classic example of that.
In Tuesday's election, the choices are simple, the more- conservative or the more-liberal. That is the forced choice that we all must make. ]
Don't curse the choice; we all need to work hard earlier so we will have better choices.
Ronald Reagan said. “The man who agrees with me 80% is not a 20% traitor. He is a trusted friend and colleague.”
I was off a bit on the quote.
“The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally — not a 20 percent traitor.”
Quoted on KCBS radio in 1972 by Reagan’s gubernatorial chief of staff.
Sorry
Are you a troll? Does the number 60 mean anything to you?
There are 40 senatorial districts in Massachusetts. The current composition of the Senate is 35 Democrats, 5 Republicans.
State Senator Scott Brown is arguably the most conservative elected official in the state.
In Massachusetts, this is as good as it gets.
Go Scott Go!
There’s one in every crowd...
I think you need to check out his website a little more thoroughly. I don’t know why people keep painting him as a liberal... I also find it interesting that you would use the word “progressive”. I honestly don’t EVER remember anyone using that word to describe RINOs before... Liberal, RINO yes, but not “progressive”.
