we will replace all of them in order..
I see it's already started...
Unitl yesterday, having a moderatate Republican senator in Massachusetts was unthinkable, much less a conservative Republican.
I guess it is all relative. I would rather see Mitt Romney than John Kerry.
It can be done.
The PEOPLE must be ACTIVE in doing this.
Forget putting up your feet and smiling like a Cheshire cat. The REAL work remains. Get Brown on board with Reagan's successful policies.
The Brown win is going to make a lot of moderate Democrats uneasy following Obama, Pelosi, and Reid down the radical road. That is the good news.
Brown won because of the Independent vote. Will other Republicans have to move to the center in order to win?
The RINO brigade was bound to come down on Brown. Surprised it happened so quickly.
If he’s strong on fiscal and defense issues then who cares if he’s a little squishy on the Social stuff.
I’m not sure he even sees himself as a Republican. If I were him, I wouldn’t. I think he’s the more conservative equivalent to Lieberman, in that caucusing with the stupid party can only hurt him. Boehner, Steele, and Cornryn are the Larry, Moe, and Curly of political strategy right now.
These guys were ready to concede. Gingrich? He dropped his tranny in NY23 endorsing Dede Babykiller as a rock-ribbed conservative.
All Brown has to do is use common sense and his voting record is likely going to be just fine. Common sense seems to be most uncommon nowadays.
The only thing this election really did for me is confirm that I’m not crazy - that there are others out there that think we are intentionally being led to hell by a crew of bitter, half-crazy, career politicians that have lost the artificial horizon on their instrument panel.
Who put every Democratic seat in the country in play this year. That is even better than stopping ObamaCare. It means Tim Gill, Soros and others cannot, as they have been doing for years, pour money into a dozen or so of the few competitive races and pick up seats for the Rats. They won't know where to put their millions. They can't target this or that Republican. They have to play defense and they can't defend everyone. They can't defend a fraction of the seats which the GOP could grab.
Brown specifically supported tax cuts, med-mal reform, and vocally opposed Obamacare and cap and trade.
Specter or Jumpin' Jim wouldn't have done that.
He said he thought abortion should be legal -- IIRC that was early-term abortions -- but opposed public funding for them.
IIRC, he was against gay marriage.
I don't know what his position on 2A was but it certainly wasn't worse than Coakley's (or Kennedy's).
For Massachusetts, I'll take him.
Brown will go a long way toward generating the re-establishment of a conservative principle base under the Repub party. Washington is running on a liberal thugocracy base now, and that will be where the war will be fought. Displacing the radical, anti-Constitutional thug base with a conservative-principled core. Upon that, much can be done to improve many things, including health care.
Let us not get lost from the fact that this present so-called “health care bill” is about improving your health care. It is all about big government control of your life and wealth. Add to that, CAP AND TAX. All about Marxist control of America. Period. The Repub party has all the ammo it needs now to put these radicals out of business in 2012 in a big way and set the stage by serious house-cleaning and positioning in November of this year.
There is a big difference between a moderate that joins the Dems acting like a Dem in the spirit of ‘working across the aisle’, and someone who works within the Senate on issues to advocate the conservative positions. We won’t know who Brown is until he gets there, but it is possible to have valuable team members who are not lock step on every issue, but are advocates for limited govt and fiscal conservatism.
I’m just happy that someone who sees through the Obamacare debacle will now occupy ‘Ted Kennedy’s seat’. That’s a big deal not only for Massachusetts but the entire country.

It doesn't help the credibility of the pundit if they can't fact-check the names correctly.
