Brown is a lawyer, I didn’t trust him from the start. Most were expecting a wonder boy, it isn’t him. Lawyers tend to be more interested in their own pockets than yours. Brown will fall in with the elite DC crowd, you can almost bet on it. Come on MA, give us someone with name recognition and true conservative principles.
Thanks neverdem. He’s as conservative a candidate as Mass could elect.
By winning, Brown became a scum politician - more interested in holding power than using his position to advance conservative principles. He has likely been co-opted by the RNC and advised to expand his base while turning his back on the people and principles that got him elected. The Tea Party needs to support individuals with character, who don’t care if they make it back in the next election cycle - like Christie, who’s ‘don’t care’ attitude will probably sweep him back into office!
There are states and districts where "making an example" of a given Republican can do some good.
Massachusetts? Statewide?
Not a chance. Brown is miles better than "Marsha" Coakley, and he'll be miles better than his RAT opponent in 2012, whoever that may be.
Doing Castle made great sense, even if COD lost.
But Brown is as good as it gets in MA, by a mile.
He’ll morph into a kennedy by 2012 and run as a demon then.
We must do the best we can in the soviet socialist republic of Massachusetts....but fakes like Brown must go at any cost. We have to always look ahead. Brown remains unchallenged and what will happen? There won't be a true Republican/conservative senator there for decades.
Punishment in a primary is the only effective avenue for posturers like Brown.
Do we want 6 more years of always sweating and wondering which way he'll bounce, like we do with the Maine Floradora Sisters?

I got the message that, since Brown has voted correctly on several bills, we should forgive him for voting “yea” for a treaty that could seriously compromise our national security and severely limit our missile defense capabilities. I, for one, am not buying it.
To his eternal credit, Scott Brown voted against the DREAM Act, and so did the Maine twins. I’m more interested in taking down Lugar and Webb in 2012.
But instead we see the Globe and the "tea party" teaming up to go after an anti amnesty, anti Obama care, Gay State senator.
Here's a little background on Christen Varley....
By her own admission, Varley tries to exclude discussion of "social issues" from all of her Tea Party events. It's all about fiscal issues, she says.
Hostility to the parents' rights movement. Last year Varley invited MassResistance to speak at one of her Tea Party events, but under the condition that we did not talk about the homosexual agenda in schools. After we refused and told others about her restriction, Varley left several angry phone messages at our office, referring to parents who were battling the gay agenda in the schools as "nut jobs."
So what exactly is this pro homo "tea partier" unhappy about.
Conservatives are anxious to give the seat back to the rats.
Brown has disappointed me so much. :-(
And he shows profound disrespect for the MIRACLE that got him elected in the first place!
There IS hope for people from MA though. I am originally from Boston.
Talk about leftist spin -they not only put lipstick on the pig, they as well outfit it in Victoria's Secret lingerie...
When will the leftist media realize their lies are transparent and their opinions irrelevant...
The folks that voted for you 11 months ago...
Remember them?
We remember you.
You're out.
It did not have to be this way.
Maye you'll get to stay in, but you have lost the hearts and minds of many of us who put you in office in the first place.
Do you really think that the folks who did not vote for you in January 2010 are going to vote for you in 2012 after your votes in the Senate this year?
Wishful thinking!
Brown is done, he will lose his seat to a liberal. There is no such thing as a republican or a conservative from Massachusetts. Brown won Ted Ks seat because of disgruntled moderates and a poor liberal opponent, not because of any republicans or conservatives. What he should do is switch to the libertarian party and eat some Gefilte fish with Joe!
Never forget that Browns win was a huge turning in the worship of P-Zero. Brown was just a stepping stone in where we are now in the Conservative movement. He needs to be tossed and as others have posted he’s no different then a dem. His purpose has been served and people who don’t see politics as a battlefield full of imperfections need to wake-up.
