Dems gang up on Brown (Dems say Scott votes 87% with GOP)

His ADA rating was 20. The ADA-ACU ratings are based on roughly 20-25 votes on key issues in a year; the 87% (if accurate) may be based on all votes.

>>> That’s right, Massachusetts must have total 100 per cent Dems in office.

Well so say many posts on FreeRepublic. The ones that swear RINO Brown MUST be defeated. FUSB!

You read these posts and swear those people shouldn’t be allowed outside without a caretaker.

Put up a more conservative candidate than him, if you can beat his fundraising advantage in the primary; if that candidate somehow makes it to the final, watch them lose 90-10 in the state of Deval, Barney, Tierney etc. Brown could well lose, too, if Dems come out to support Obama in droves. The 2010 fall election did put some GOP folks in state legislature, but the Republicans got skunked otherwise—
a tax rollback question led Dems/hacks to the polls where
just about every office went Dem again. While there are some people in MA upset by hackery, Dem officeholders, etc. they are usually outnumbered by moonbats.

Brown was successful because some of his more moderate opinions brought moderates esp. unenrolleds in, and Coakley
was horrible. He is fairly popular with center and even
maybe left, and with some of the right, though again could be buried by an Obama landslide.

Again, nominate a more conservative candidate in the land of
Barney Frank...get together the money to defeat Brown’s
millions, then hope they can do good in the final vs.
the designated Moonbat. It’s Massachusetts, surely a true
conservative could win... right?

From one of the Herald comments. I have highlighted the times he has not voted Republican. Only a few times has he gone against the GOP line though they may have been major bills. They may have a point about him voting 87% GOP, or is it higher? I guess putting in a Dem who votes 0 % GOP would be better.
