Do you understand this is a MASSACHUSETTS seat? Would you prefer to have Warren, a flaming liberal as the Senator from that State or Brown who will vote with the Republicans the majority if not every time?

There is NO CHANCE, NONE, NADA of a “Conservative” getting elected in that State in the foreseeable future. Politics being what it is you take what you can get and get it anyway you can within the law.

It's more than just numbers in the Senate although they are important. Taking control also means committee chairs, and deciding what and when legislation comes to the floor for a vote.

Do you understand that this is a Conservative Forum?

Do you understand that the current GOP-e leadership in the House and the Senate has entrenched stalwarts as Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Graham, Collins, Snow and others in positions of power as committee chairman?

Do you understand that these people helped establish House and Senate rules that allow them in lame duck sessions to vote in the next sessions leadership positions from the same old pool of compromising and compromised pols?

Do you understand that this throttles the newly elected members and therefore throttles the power of the electorate? That would be us.

Ponder on that and how it relates to effective reform of the situation.

As I said, Massholes can do as they want, but don’t go bragging on Brown or the others. Reflects poor on you.

Finally, you haven’t “beenaround” here long enough for us to figure out who you really are.

See you around.
