Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown told the Herald he is exploring a possible 2016 presidential bid today as he hit a well-worn stomping ground for Oval Office hopefuls the Iowa State Fair. I want to get an indication of whether theres even an interest, in Massachusetts and throughout the country, if theres room for a bi-partisan problem solver, said Brown, who has been meeting with top republicans nationally and last week hosted a Fenway event for Republican National Committee members. Brown indicated he isn't close to deciding whether he will run. Its 2013 I think its premature, but I am curious. Theres a lot of good name recognition in the Dakotas and here thats pretty good. Brown rose to national prominence after his surprise win in the 2010 special election for the U.S. Senate over Attorney general Martha Coakley. He lost the seat to U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2012, but he has recently kept the door open to many races including the 2014 Bay State gubernatorial and a U.S. Senate bid in New Hampshire
in Mass, the DEMS are the disgrace.
ANd there be enough of them for us to talk all day.
Congrats on the Warren ‘16 victory. Now be a gracious winner.
Frogs like me wonder about the following:
Elena Kagan confirmation in Senate .... 22 northern Senators ... 21 yes votes ... ONE no vote.
The only NO vote was Scottie Brown.
Now, this frog thinks that must be outrageous that a God-spitter like Scottie gets to vote NO on Elena to camoflauge the fact that he is a flaming liberal. Did you try to stop him from voting NO or did you admonish him after the fact?
The world is safe for Commie Judges now that Warren-squaw and Markey are snuggled into the Senate.
Is there any actual vote that Scottie cast that annoyed you or is it just his shitty commercials?
Basically I don't think there's any position Brown has that he wouldn't compromise for a vote. I'm sick of him and the rest like him. I'm pretty sure many others are in this boat (witness what happened to Brown's clone Gabriel Gomez) and until the GOP realizes it and supports more principled candidates, we'll keep going right down the crapper.Him and the Warrens of the world are taking us to the same place, her just a little faster. In either case the destination is extremely hot and I don't intend on being there. I know there are many good people (I'm sure you're one) who would vote for him or someone similar. I just can't anymore and I sleep well with the decision.
well, old Gomez had a primary opponent named Sullivan ... and the conservatives could have gotten him elected if they decided to put their money where their mouth is.
It is a free country and nobody is stopping the MASS conservatives from running candidates and getting them elected. You say the GOP should do it for you?
“until the GOP realizes it and supports more principled candidates”
You want them to spoon feed you?
as a Christian, I am required to exercise sound judgment in civic matters. Somebody who votes with the conservatives 80% of the time is a flawed ally, not an adversary.
Marcia Coakley and Lizzy Warren are adversaries.
God did not authorize anybody to turn that seat over to the Communists. Who told the conservatives in MASS that they were allowed to let the Commies win 2 new Senate seats? Who issued the order to stand down?
Public folly is a grave sin.
Some of your friends were afraid that Scottie would get re-elected? Explain to the Christian folks in Indiana and North Carolina why you want Lizzy Warren to rule over them and that Scottie Brown was the greater danger and had to be defeated!
