Brown got elected because the minority of Mass voters, like me, wanted someone to represent our interest after 47 years of Ted Kennedy. Here in MA, it’s just about impossible to elect a true conservative. We did have some GOP governors like Weld, Romney, and Cellucci. Not true conservatives but they got elected. And we did get SOME things accomplished,
even if it was something like a (temporary) suspension of
Registry of Motor Vehicle fees.
Do we want half a loaf or no loaf at all?
During the election campaign, Brown said he was an independent voice who would not always vote conservative.
The Dems ran ads saying “Republican Scott Brown...will vote in lockstep with the Republican party”.
Of the two statements above, which was more honest? Brown.
The latter hasn’t happened.
But let’s just nominate a true conservative for GOP
nomination in 2012. He will run against a moonbat like
Mike Capuano. Someone who won’t make gaffes like Coakley did. Whom will the voters choose?
Yeah, we’ll feel much better when we have two moonbat
senators again, not just one. I’m not totally pleased
with Brown but I knew what he would be when I voted for him.
This is Massachusetts...
“Do we want half a loaf or no loaf at all?”
When the left are trying to take power, they have a saying: Worse is better. That is, the worse the situation, the more discontented the people are, the greater the odds that they can be flim-flammed into putting the left into power.
That works.
I don’t see any signs that settling for half a loaf ever leads to a whole loaf, or even three-quarters.
Well, as much as I dislike admitting it, you are correct.
I am a former staff aide of the Mass. State Senate.
I learned a lot in that gig - but it is also the reason why I moved out of the Bay State in 1977.
Who did I get to know while on staff? Let’s see: Billy Delahunt, Ed Markey, Barney Frank, Mike Dukakis and a host of others.
Notice, please, how much good these cretins have done for Massachusetts and the nation.
Scott Brown? Better than nothing. He’s kind of like a white Ed Brooke(he was on my black list). :)
I’m a MA lifer and totally agree with you.
It is a miracle we even have him.
