Lets get RINOs in the blue states, Conservatives in our RED-blooded patriotic states, and get our Constitutional freedoms back and not let the socialists hijack SCOTUS. My best hopes for Obama are being realized: his over-reaching is waking the nations wishy-washy independent middle to the damage socialism is doing to our country.
I second that post. Let the RINO's sit in RI and MA seats - BUT lets kick the RINO out of AZ seat and install JD Hayworth, a conservative.

Let’s not expect miracles from Scott Brown, he voted to allow the vote on a $15 Billion spending bill. He told the voters of Massachusetts he would be independent of both parties.
Let’s give him more than 1 vote on a small spending bill by Washington Standards before we start calling him a RINO. Would you rather have Coakley?

Doesnt his seat come up for election in Nov?
from wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_elections,_2010on in Nov?
Note C. Special election (held in January 19, 2010) due to the death of Ted Kennedy in Aug, 2009, and his appointed replacement Paul Kirk. The term will end Jan 3, 2013

I just got in here. The Drudge report looks shady for Brown. Abuse?

From “41” to “60” within a week. Got a hunch I’m going to be sorry I sent him $$.

John McCain is not a RINO. He’s pro-life, strongly pro national defence, and has voted against UHC and the Stimulus. If Hayworth is anything more than a nuisance we may actually end up losing that Senate seat. Also the jobs bill doesn’t sound too bad-much of it is tax breaks.
To: 9YearLurker
...this is an especially harmless vote that can build a little of the independent cred everyone knows he needs if hes going to retain the seat in a couple of years. Going all ideologue on us and handing his seat to your usual closet-commie MA Democrat wont help us or the country at all.
You don't mind if I take a seat on this side of the room, do you? Thanks. Some of the folks in here scare me.

Watch what he does next and if he votes against US then
F- him

What is somewhat surprising is the number of FReepers who were ready to have this guy run for President of the United States the day after he won Mass. That blooming display of stupidity was something to behold.
I remember those posts well. I was so dumbfounded reading them, that I couldn't even reply. I mean, what do you say to someone who's so obviously drunk on the moment?
"Yes We Can"?
Man, that was strange.

To: Ol' Dan Tucker
I agree. I don’t know what the big surprise is here because, afterall, Brown does wear the GOP label. Maybe its the fact that he turned so quick that shocks many people.
To: mystery-ak; All
He’s been under MASSIVE pressure from the media to “Prove What he Promised” that sometimes he would vote with the Democrats.
You’ll note they go after HIM for his campaign promises, BUT NOT OBAMA, or any other Democrat.

I have a gut feeling that JD Hayworth will give us a measure of heartburn in the future, too, if he wins the AZ Senate race.
I’d still vote for him, if I were an Arizonan, because I feel that he’ll be an improvement over McCain. I would have voted for Scott Brown for the same reason (and still would).
Didn’t Ronaldus Magnus say something along the lines of, “someone who votes with me 80% of the time is not my enemy”?

To: Repeal The 17th
Republicans Voinovich (Ohio), Collins (Maine), and Snowe (Maine) also voted with the democrats. Where is the outrage for them? The surprise factor is gone, hence, no outrage. They've voted so often with the Dems, that it's become something of a given that they will do so every time.
Just always count them as D votes, and you'll feel better. Support their Republican challengers in the next election.

Can we get our donation back? What a disappointment hes turning out to be.
I sent him $60.00. Damn it!
The other day I received a letter from his daughters promoting some kind of pillows for $20.00. Not a good sign.

Oh, I think JD will make a point to vote strictly to the Right, if only to show AZ and McCain that he is NOT McCain. I could be wrong, but that’s my thinking at this point. I just hope he wins!

Scott Brown will hopefully vote with us at least 65% of the time...Well......to my knowledge, so far he's voted with the Dems 100% of the time.

To: bigbob
he said he was an Independent. Why in hell do people on FR throw a fit every time an Independent turns out not to be a hardcore conservative in everything they say and do?Because they are clueless on how the real world works. In the not too distant future, those who are condemning him here will be singing him praises for voting with the "good guys".

I can forgive him for this. Honestly, this jobs bill is not that bad.So I wonder why the other 35 or 36 Republicans voted against it?
