First off, ask Scott Brown who won him the election...it was the INDEPENDENT/UNENROLLED voter. I don’t know where you guys blog from, but this ain’t Texas. The MAJORITY of American voters are waking up for the first time and repenting for past transgressions. Marty Lamb, from what I’ve heard and seen of him, is a small business owner who has been politically aware for YEARS as he knows it is his duty to participate in the civics process in order to protect his family and business. The behavior of Washington as of late has woken him up (as it has MANY of us). He, therefore, has gotten back to basics. He repented and picked up the Constitution. He studies the Founders and their principles and wholeheartedly longs to get DC off the American taxpayer’s back. He represents the average MA voter and has no aspirations of becoming a career politician. This race is not about who is “republican” enough, as MA doesn’t care about that. This is about who cares enough.
Marty has been endorsed by some big conservative names who wouldn’t throw their support to just anyone. He has earned his stripes.
It is worth noting that Michael Stopa NEVER voted before 2006. So, what does it matter how Marty voted and donated before 2004? It seems suspect that we’d chastise a man who has always participated in the American process rather than honestly questioning the intentions of a man like Stopa who never cared before.
“It is worth noting the Michael Stopa NEVER voted before 2006.”
This is simply a lie.
I cast my first vote in 1976 and have been voting regularly, in Connecticut, in Massachusetts and in Maryland ever since then.
