I was disappointed (but not surprised) to learn of your support of the recess appointment of Richard Cordray to the CFPB. You take the stance that allowing the President to bypass the normal legislative process is fine because of "hyper partisanship"?
The support I gave you, and the vote I cast for you is the most disappointing support/vote of my life.
I understand that you don't think you can win in a state like this without pandering, but your actions illustrate to me that we will still reach the same level of degeneration in this country with you in office rather than a legislator like Martha Coakley (or Elizabeth Warren), it will simply take just a short while longer, and it will all happen with the imprimatur of a withered form of conservatism.
Your actions ranging from enthusiastic support of homosexuals in the military to support of this anti-Constitutional end run by this President (who has vowed to do the same in the year ahead, presumably with your full support as well) have compelled me to condemn your candidacy, even in the face of a leftist opponent like Elizabeth Warren.
At least if Elizabeth Warren is elected, it is preferable to have the the figurative knife enter from the front where it is expected, rather than the back from an unexpected source.
I am not willing to support a candidate that endorses bypassing the Constitutional process for expediency, especially a pandering expediency in an election year.
Make no mistake, though I expect this to fall on deaf ears: there are many out here who feel exactly the same way I do.
The few Republicans I know that voted for Brown have said that it made no difference and they may as well have voted for Coakley.
Brown won because he was different. He will lose by becoming what he claimed to be running against.
Excellent well said!
