A Rino stabbing his voters in the back? Next time hes up for re-election we will hear from the usual GOP boosters - vote for this Soros shill - he’s so much better than the socialist put up by Soros on the other side of the aisle.

Your comment makes no sense.

Let's see what I was commenting to..... Scott Brown is the state’s most popular politician. It is a fact.

Let's see my comment.........
So popular that they didn’t want anymore like him this election?

NO MORE repubs were elected in this past election. NO CONTRAST/difference was shown - to the democrats - from Scott for the dems to go down the road, again.

AND THAT IS A FACT!!

Massachusetts is a know liberal state - if Scott is popular there - what does that say? He got elected ONLY because of the impending vote against ZeroCare. That is all he was popular for at the time.

TEA will raise up a candidate with TEA values. Scott Brown did what he was elected for - his no vote on zerocare - now it's time for a true 'we the people' candidate.

We CANNOT expect him to be what he isn't. And he showed us his lack of character “I’m not sure who they are". Why lie when the truth will do?

Guess what BROWN, "WE ARE VERY SURE OF WHAT/WHO YOU ARE". Nice knowing ya! You are 'one', we are millions. Who needs who? And you 'think' you did it on your own. Nothing worse than a lying prideful man.

Perfectly put - spot on!!!

The reality of this Senate seat is that we have two choices, Scott brown who will vote like a conservative some of the time, OR another Democrat who will vote like a contemptible traitor (John Kerry) ALL OF THE TIME !!!

That is the reality because this is Massachusetts !! A true Reagan Conservative won't get elected to that seat, not in Mass. I think it sucks and I'm really disapointed that he voted with the rats, BUT, given the recent gains in the senate, we need to keep and hold every seat we can get. It would be nice if we could be real picky about it, but Scott brown can't cozy up to the Tea Party, because that wave has not caught on as big as other places in the country. This is still the Peoples Republic. We should hold our noses and get the guy re-elected or face another loser demoRAT in his place.

I warned EVERYBODY I knew who was getting excited about Mr. Brown A YEAR AGO, to look closer at him. My first red flag was the blatant self-marketing of “I’m the FORTYFIRST VOTE!”
which in itself was deceptive, and cynical(and it turned out he WASN’T the 41st vote anyway.) He has more than exceeded my lack of expectations for him.

[GOPsterinMA]

Yes - you're right.

Was he better than the alternative? Yes, that's just about all that can be said.

The seat will revert back to Rat status in 2012; Brown will be relegated to the correct answer of a trivia question. Ce la vie.

[S.O.L.]

Brown caught the Dems napping. Coakley ran a poor campaign. Brown got support from all over the country because everyone thought he could kill Obamacare.

None of this will happen in 2012.

I am a TEA Partier but it is not popular in MA. If there is a third TEA Party candidate in the general election, we will lose the seat to Deval Patrick, Vicki Kennedy, or the like.

Sorry to inform you but a TEA Party candidate cannot win statewide in MA either as an independent or a GOP candidate. We couldn’t even get one elected in the open seat in the 10th which is the most conservative district in MA. The only way one could win is if they won a Democratic primary, but that isn’t going to happen either.

Between now and re-election if Brown votes 70% or so with the Republicans we need to support him for re-election, otherwise in 2013 we will get 0% votes from the DEM. If 0% is better than 70%, then continue to attack Brown. (I do reserve my right to change my mind if Brown meets the 70% threshold, but votes for amnesty, crap and tax, card check or other sea change legislation.)

[S.O.L.]

Oh, and another thing. Neither conservatives, nor TEA Partiers alone got him elected.

He is absolutely correct about that.

There are not enough of us here. He was also elected by moderates (and probably some liberals) as he is a moderate.

While I would like him to vote 100% conservative I knew we would never get that. He may rightly think he may owe his other voters some votes especially as he is a moderate as we all knew going in.

Unlike many RINOs who don’t support mildly conservative nominees or who openly subvert them, Brown wholeheartedly supported an “ultra” conservative candidate for congress. If he meets the Reagan 80% threshold, appropriately modified for the bluest state, he deserves return support.

Sorry to inform you but you are spitting in the wind because I never said it could. Attack what I did say - that you are against Scott needing to be honest.

Honesty 'shows' one's character. He's 'shown' his lack of character and that has more power than anyone 'saying' he's a good guy. He 'produced' whats really inside - he's a part of the boys club and it will be business as usual.

I'm not speaking about how he votes - I'm speaking about 'he is not his own man' and that speaks volumes. He's a wussy puss because of his own words/actions and not because of my opinion/my words.

If he meets the Reagan 80% threshold,

Please don't tarnish the Reagan name w/someone's threshold. Reagan was HIS OWN MAN - not by how he voted - but was honest in spite of the way the wind was blowing.

Reagan types are rare, Scott types are a dime a dozen. And history proves that.
