U.S. Sen. Scott Brown came to the defense of embattled campaign staffers he shares with Mitt Romney, the same Boston team that national conservatives blasted this week for fumbling the GOP presidential hopeful’s message in the midst of the pitched battle to oust President Obama.
Eric Fehrnstrom, Romney’s top strategist, also serves as campaign mastermind in Brown’s tough re-election fight against Elizabeth Warren.
-snip-
Fehrnstrom, questioned about the flap by reporters yesterday, said he doesn’t expect a shake-up, saying that despite the pressure to dump him, the campaign is “very happy with the team that we have” and “we like the way things are right now.”
Brown also said he doesn’t plan on making any changes after Fehrnstrom’s bad week.
“I’m so focused on my own thing, and I have so many layers in between Eric and everybody else, everyone plays a role,” he said

So now we’re ripping on a Republican Senator from Massachusetts for being a RINO?
Doesn’t anyone here live on planet Earth?
Why are you going out of your way to defend these jackwagons as if they’re Conservatives? They are unreliable Republicans. Sure, better than the reliable Leftists, but certainly not to be hailed as solid Republican stock.
Because I'm neither crazy nor stupid.
It's Massachusetts, not Kansas.
Do you want the GOP to have that vote in some instances or in no instances?
That's your choice.
The Massachusetts Senator will be either a moderate Republican (at best, and it's a fluke that we have even that) or else it will be a leftist nutcase 'Rat.
If you want to hate me for wanting to see actual results rather than wallowing is rhetorical nonsense then go right ahead.
You won't be the first.
No, we’re ripping the Republican establishment for being so incompetent. They hire from within, like an incestuous family instead of bring in some outsiders who live in the real world.
I’ve been around these types since the 1970’s and many of them are living in a very rich, but unreal lah lah land.
Their messages aren’t resonating with the average person, the average worker, or the average conservative political observers.
Eric Fehrnstrom has missed too many opportunities to really stick it to Obama. No professional (and his team) should have been so incompetent. If you do that in the Major Leagues, you are OUT, OUT, OUT (of a job).
The fundraising letters I get from the RNC seem to have been written by a drunk GOP has-been. I’m insulted by them.
When the Obamites produced the “Throw grandma over the cliff” ad featuring Paul Ryan’s face, any sane GOP campaign propaganda producer (it is propaganda, ie. information), should have made a counterad that showed the same scene but when grandma was thrown over the cliff, on the way down they should have listed Obamacare, Death Panels, Carbon Dioxide job destroying fraudulent science, the 1/2 Billion dollar theft from Medicaid, Solyndra fraud/failures and payoffs, with the face under the head changing from Ryan to Obama, with the quote from his mouth as saying, “Yes I did!”.
It is no longer allowable for the Romney campaign to be run like the Ted Mack Amateur Hour. The GOP/RNC etc. need the collective wit and minds of Mark Levine, Rush Limbaugh, Greg Gutfeld, Sara Palin, Paul Ryan, Larry Kudlow, Stewart Varney (and the other Fox economics specialists & commentators), Steve Jobs, and any oil-digging, truck-driving,coal-mining worker, doctor/nurse or concerned teacher/educator.
There are many other talented and experienced conservatives who know what they are talking about re the problems facing America, and they wouldn’t let any major opportunity to tell the truth about Obama and his policies slip through their fingers.
Butterfingers like Fehrnstrom are the kind of guys who lose the ballgame, and it is beginning to look that way.
I won’t contribute a cent to the GOP until they clean house, get rid of the deadwood and deadheads, and bring in some very hungry, very experienced, and very dedicated thinkers who know how to take on the Left and kick the crap out of them from now until November 6th, and even afterwards when the White House cleaning begins.
>> If you want to hate me for wanting to see actual results
You’re unnecessarily dramatic. My hate list is rather short, and you’re certainly not on it.
>> Do you want the GOP to have that vote in some instances or in no instances?
I’m not arguing against pragmatism. It’s the illusion of stellar form that’s problematic.

One or the other should get his full attention, either is big enough to take all he's got.
That's the biggest reason they make these mistakes.
We cannot afford their kind in this race.
Mssachusettes has turned into massoftwoshitz can anyone believe this was the birthplace of our nation
Brown is a RINO. Period.
If YOU find a better person to run against Scott Brown, then get him elected, until then maybe some focus on holding accountable the congress would be a better use of time. Look how many Tea Party folks signed off on the sugar farm bill giving breaks - crony captialism - to sugar companies. What about getting a conservative like Boehner to force the government to arrest Holder - these actions might make our country better...Scott Brown lives in MA not TX.
You’re talking about Eric Fehrnstrom.
I’m talking about Scott Brown.
Where is this "illusion of stellar form"?
Scott Brown voted against Obamacare and will do so again.
He will vote for a Republican to be Senate Majority Leader.
Do you want for the GOP to control the Senate and to vote to get rid of Obamacare or don't you?
The choice in Massachusetts, in four short months, is between Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren.
There is more to politics then relentless negativism, absolutism, and defeatism.
At least there is in some places and among some people.
Some people actually want to accomplish things, although such folks are kind of scarce around these parts.
