Don’t you get tired of having to choose a Republican candidate based upon “He was better than the Democrat”? I know I do.
Brown might think he’s being clever here, playing politics with Federally funded abortion in order to placate his Liberal constituents. But in reality, he’s being really stupid. Liberals aren’t going to vote for him unless he has a D next to his name and we Conservatives tend to have longer memories than the average voter, probably because we’re far superior in intellect (take THAT Establishment Elitists!).
He could be inviting his own defeat in ‘12.
The other side of this is perhaps he actually believes in Federally funded abortions, in which case he’s probably in the wrong party.
