The guy won the seat occupied for what, 40+ years, by Ted Kennedy.

What else did people expect?
Did they expect another Reagan to spring forth from BOSTON?

When I compared him to Olympia Snowe before he was elected, multiple members here insisted I was wrong and he was conservative. So, a whole lot of people here expected something else.

And, it isn't true a real conservative can't be elected in a liberal state and become popular. Chris Christie is proof of that in New Jersey.

Read the article, he won the seat on false pretenses. He lied, and then lied some more to get tea party support. He is a sleazoid and must catch hell for it.

My answer to that question is we didn’t expect a typical DC political hack. We got a grade-A hypocrite who talks out of both sides of his mouth. We expected someone that puts his country first before his own quest for power. We expected someone who puts our troops first which he didn’t. We expected someone with moral fiber which he doesn’t have a clue about. Scott Brown took money and our support all the while pretending to support our ideals. In my opinion, he’s reprehensible and must be voted out. I listened to his acceptance speech with hope for our country. I now realize he’s a closet Liberal who deceived all those who supported him with their time and limited money.

He’s, IMO, a despicable hypocrite like pathetic McLame. He’s the problem along with his RINO and RAT bedfellows.

I for one would have expected him to vote against this bill and START. It would not have prevented him from being reelected, it would have been in line with the rhetoric he uttered during his election campaign. We knew he wasn't going to be Jim DeMint, but he did not speak like Susan Collins, and he did not seem like someone who could be easily swayed by the liberal media.

It seems we were mistaken about him. He is simply a Mike Castle Republican. The seat will go back to the Democrats as a result. Conservatives, who are normally dispirited and inactive in a state like Massachusetts, will go back to being inactive, and he will lose big. His only chance was to be conservative, to offer an alternative viewpoint and defend it strenuously, and convince his state that he was right, or at least make them like him for his fervor. Then he had a chance.

Bye bye, Scott. We will get the Senate back without you.

I didn’t expect him to be a Conservative. However, I did expect him to keep his word.
