Hitching His Wagon to Obama’s Star: a Republican Senator (Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts)
The New York Times ^ | September 8, 2012 | Katharine Q. Seelye

Posted on 09/08/2012 7:59:44 PM PDT by EveningStar

President Obama is appearing in yet another television commercial in the Massachusetts Senate race. This time, it was not produced by the Democratic candidate, Elizabeth Warren, but by the Republican, Senator Scott P. Brown.

The advertisement, which was scheduled to start running on Saturday, shows Mr. Obama praising Mr. Brown for sponsoring a bill to end insider trading in Congress. As Mr. Obama signs the measure into law, he thanks Mr. Brown, saying, “Good job.”

If you can’t find a Democrat, get yourself a Massachusetts Republican.

Scott Brown is a dolt.

He has an “R” by his name just as there is an “R” by Romney's name and an “R” by Boehner’s name and an “R” by McConnel’s (sp) name and an R by ....

All those “Rs”, vote for “Rs”.

I said, and many others here said when he ran that he was not a Conservative.. and received the same BS as I receive from the Romney-bots now. If Conservatives vote for a liberal they get a liberal no amount of “pressure” after the fact changes that...those who think otherwise are Republicans first and Conservatives second.

Hell yes! Using insider information to take advantage of stock purchases and sales is a God given right and RINOS like Senator Brown should be thrown out of office and replaced by a person with Native American blood, who understands the needs of the common man.

Idiots.

We have to be VERY VERY CAREFUL in what we wish for in assuming a GOP victory in a RINO dominated leftist liberal state is a good thing.

This guy demonstrated long ago that there was a reason he beat the Dem out in the election in Massachusetts - and it wasn’t because he was a paragon of conservatism.

This political Jujitsu, read nothing else into it. Yes he’s a RINO, but right now he’s our RINO. Political transformations do not take quantum leaps. To go from left to right you have to drag the population through the center.

Scott Brown is the most conservative Republican who can beat the Democrat in Massachusetts.

Mitt Romney was NOT the most conservative Republican in the presidential primary who could beat Obama.

Key difference.

Brown isn't a Conservative. Warren is a far-left radical. It's Massachusetts, not exactly a state that celebrates DIEversity of thought. In the last 24 hours, I saw an interview with a U.S. Representative from Mass named Ed Markey who mentioned not only Barry O. but Bill Clinton as a reason to support Warren. Warren makes Ted Kennedy appear sane.

I thought they lied from day 1 because his wife never showed up until he was elected.

With all due respect, which office have you chosen to run for? It is one thing to complain about these “terrible Republicans,” but another to actuallly run for an office in an effort to replace them if you think that is what needs to be done.

Even with this, I will take Brown over Warren any day.

there be 1.8 million Obama voters in MASS ... maybe a little less considering it is a Romney home state. Maybe 1.65 million. Regardless, Scott Brown needs 400,000 of these people to vote for him to get re-elected.

he will succeed.

Bashing Obambi ain’t good strategy.

Maybe Brownie should just come out and say he is a “conservative Republican and if ya like Obama don’t vote for me.”

That’s probably an effective ad in a toilet like Massachusetts.

Chief Random, you come here of own free will. Knowing that you find idiot Injuns wandering and commenting. Surprised?

Tell them to move to Massachoosee and get conservative elected and report back when mission accomplished. Tell them to take enough supplies to last 40 years.

Cherokee nation rises again. Massachoosee is Indian word for Communist Squaw.

You are right, of course.

Pols of both stripes do things like this all the time.

This is really not a big deal, at all, in any way.

I feel like this article was written so the Right would get their knickers in a twist over it and lose support for Scott Brown.

He may not be the biggest conservative who ever lived, but he seems like a good person and is beyond a shadow of a doubt far better than Big Chief Warren or any other dem who would be elected from Mass.

“I thought they lied from day 1 because his wife never showed up until he was elected.”

I’m not entirely sure what you are getting at here, but Brown’s wife is a reporter on a TV news show up there so it may well be that they/she/her employer felt that her campaigning with him was not appropriate.

Like I say, I’m not sure if this answers anything, and I’m not sure my comment is accurate, but, what the heck, why let that stop me?
