I knew he was a RINO. Still I'm glad he's there instead of a Democrat. We aren't gonna get a true conservative from a lunatic state like Massachusetts or California (where I live). The best we can do is a moderate. This was proved in the last Senate election in California. I supported Tom Campbell because he could have defeated Barbara Boxer. But the people on this site slammed Tom Campbell as a RINO. The Tea Party people and others pushed hard for Carly Fiorina. I voted for Campbell even though I was probably closer to Fiorina on the issues. So many were ecstatic when she won. I was crushed, not because I wanted Campbell so bad but because I knew given the Troglodyte Voters of California, that guaranteed Boxer the election. It did. So Massachusetts has somewhat the same problem. Brown will not be able to be a true conservative (even if he was one) in Massachusetts. If he were to vote as a conservative, he would be sure to lose in 2012. Massachusetts, like California is a lunatic state when it comes to politics. All the sane people moved to New Hampshire or other places and all you have left are loons.

I’m not glad. He has sided with the Rats on almost every vote. I would rather have a Democrat admitting they are a Lib than a Republican pretending to be Moderate when it’s obvious they are a Lib.
There’s too many Conservatives ready stop the weeding out process in fear they lose the tiny crumbs the “Moderates” give them.

Agreed. I don’t know where the people were when Scott was making talk radio appearances and saying he would vote depending on the issue, not straight party line. When the opposition rolled out ads saying he was a Republican who would vote in lockstep with the Republican party, you could smell the B.S. He’s not voting in lockstep with the Dems, either. We knew this, and we still voted him in—and I’m glad because something is better than nothing. In this state we have to take what we can get. Nominate a true conservative and lose to Vicky Kennedy 90 to 10.

Coakley was: nothing. She would vote lib consistently.
