Scott Brown supports many liberal positions. Should we hate on him? Is he a RINO? Should we primary him when he comes up for re-election?

You're still missing my point.

It was discussed at length on this forum how liberal Scott Brown was. We, those of us who also defend choosing Christine and who understand that YOU CAN ONLY VOTE FOR THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY IN THE SPECIFIC RACE AT THE TIME said at the time that "he is our guy now. Next time, we'll see."

So the answer to your question is: It depends on WHO IS ACTUALLY RUNNING NEXT TIME as to whether we will "hate on him," call him a RINO, vote for him in the next primary. We don't know yet. IF a more constitutional conservative candidate shows up then he won't get our support. That's the way it works in the Big Leagues.

What matters is that we further the Constitutional Conservative cause at every turn. Otherwise this Repubic is history. Our loyalty is to the Constitution and to the Rule of Law, not to Man.

“YOU CAN ONLY VOTE FOR THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY IN THE SPECIFIC RACE AT THE TIME”

I understand that. You are saying people should just rallied around COD after the primary to get her to the Senate. What I am saying is that had this happened (for example a rally with heavy hitters like Palin, Bachmann, and Beck) standing on stage with COD it would hurt more than help. Now instead of just COD being asked about her issues it would be also Palin being asked why she supports COD.

COD’s personal issues have become a liability. Unfortunate? Yes, but true just the same. We can’t have her out there at Tea Parties there is simply no upside. If she was a witch who as a state official worked on fiscal issues with a strong conservative records I would say sure! It would show we care about people’s records and not their personal lives. Sadly the only fiscal situations COD has ever managed all turn out poorly from personal to previous campaigns. So it isn’t like we can defend her work record.

“IF a more constitutional conservative candidate shows up then he won’t get our support. That’s the way it works in the Big Leagues. “

This does not make sense. Within a GOP primary sure you can win being saying really conservative things. After the primary you still have to go out and win the general election. A team that only wins primaries doesn’t get to play in the Big Leagues they get stuck in the Minors.

I support challenges on RINOs when they have some chance of succeeding for the general election. Then it is a win win as we get rid of a RINO and keep the seat. I don’t support situations where we KNOW we are going to lose the seat just to get rid of a RINO which is what happened in Delaware and will happen if you run a Tea Party candidate in Massachusetts.
