Senator Scott Browns decision to buck his party leadership in recent days on the dont ask, dont tell military policy and on a nuclear arms treaty has set off a new wave of anger among some of the activists who helped elect him and renewed talk among conservatives that he might face a primary challenge.
Some Tea Party movement leaders who dislike Browns votes acknowledge that the Massachusetts Republican has demonstrated his independent and pragmatic streak, and by doing so may strengthen his chances at reelection in 2012. No primary challenger has emerged, and it is unclear whether a newcomer could wage a serious fight against Brown and his $6.8 million war chest. But the threat of a primary challenge from conservatives as well as the potential that national Tea Party groups will withhold financial support appears to have grown, according to the movements activists. Browns votes in the past week follow his crucial support for the overhaul of financial regulations, which remains a particular sore point with conservatives. I think that there will be a primary challenge, said Christen Varley, president of the Greater Boston Tea Party. Theres enough of an underground movement in the Tea Party movement as seeing him as not being conservative enough. There probably will be multiple people who attempt to run against him.

Brown is a traitor.
Brown is of the Romney Backstabbing Wing of Shapeshifters
in the GOP. They keep leading to Deval Patrick,
your good buddy.
But in national issues Brown is part of the Republican caucus, etc. And I will say more Republicans did join the
MA legislature this time around, but yes other positions
like gov., auditor, treasurer, etc are in Dem hands again.
The GOP will control the U.S. House which means the 10
Dems re-elected as US Reps in MA (which is all of them,
soon to be 9) they will now be in the minority
Well, I and many others had sense enough not to start shouting “Brown 2012!” about a man who hadn’t yet served a day in his newly elected position.
There was some other stuff but Alioto got confirmed.
All of the Republicans were RINOs or persons of questionable moral standing as Republicans. The only 2 left now are McCain and Graham. We got rid of the other 5 ~
I doubt there are as many as 17 RINOs ~ remember, some of the people you're pointing to are not coming back in January.
“You know, the candidate the Republicans nominated for prez here in 2012 is a RINO. I’m staying home”
Brought to you by Republicans For Obama, 2012. Remember, it’s better to have someone with you 0 per cent of the time instead of someone with you 80 per cent of the time. Real
progress.
It is NEVER GOOD to put Democrats in. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER ~ wash your mouth out. Puke puke puke patooey!!!
But what do you do when the people are completely willing to be “screwed”? The electorate is the problem. Solve that, and you will be rid of Democrats and Browne.
And to your credit..
Now help pull the plug on him and suffocate his campaign of political transvestitism.
In-Your-Face liberal RINOs like Brown need to do better than a 10/90 split of voting on things important to conservatives. DUMP HIM. Any way possible.
The US Senate will not be harmed if it has ONE LESS DEMOCRAT.
It is not about your hypotheticals and
your broadcasts to yourself, raccoonradio.
It is about trust.
FReepers are informing you they want a CONSERVATIVE.
YOU keep forcing Bakers and Romneys and Browns
upon the public.
They are now recognized as SHAPESHIFTING traitors
who CONSERVATIVES will never trust again.
Take care.
Let 'em. Over and over and over again. Till they bleed. Till they've had enough.
Brown is a Dem. Let the MA GOP choose an actually Pubbie.
This is about setting a standard and rejecting happily bending over for 10/90 "compromises."
Actually, they don't live there either.
You can help fix the problem with the electorate by relocating.
They are having a blizzard today.
LOL.... does it make a difference if you just call them republicans...
Actually there are 15.
13 voted for the repeal of DADT, NOT including McCain and Lady Lindsey (who ARE RINOs.)
Considering where Brown and Collins/Snowe are from, I’ll take it. They are significantly better that another Kennedy type. If the Tea party can’t see that then they are dense. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
It’s people like Lindsey Graham and Lugar from red states that need to get the boot for real conservatives.
Some things just don't make sense no matter how much you believe them.
Coakley sucker.
Bears repeating.
Power backs power in MA, regardless of (D) or (R). D@mn them all.
Better to know what and whose thing is being sucked.
