“You are really off base comparing Scott Brown to Mitch McConnell….and Mass to Kentucky. Brown is a good guy in a bad state, and he doens’t always figure out how to handle it.”
I wasn’t comparing the two. I was comparing the decision to vote for a democrat or a worthless moderate republican. Given that choice, I left my ballot blank. The people of Kentucky can do what they like.
As for Brown, he is not a good guy. We knew going in that he was no conservative, but he went well over the line to completely distance himself from the very people who helped him succeed in getting into office. AND THEN, last year, when he was deciding whether he was going to run in the special election, there was a party head nomination fight going on, and he told the delegates, that if they didn’t choose his crony, then he wouldn’t run for US Senate. So they chose his crony, AND THE VERY NEXT DAY, Brown announced that he wasn’t running. Total scumbag! And his crony then moved heaven and earth to get Gabriel Gomez, liberal republican, who was in third behind two conservatives, funding, support and the senate nomination.
Brown is out for nothing but power. We know him very well here.
Well I know him a little, and kinda like the guy. But that’s besides the point. He’s the best Senator from Mass in 200 years and there will never be another Senator who is not worse than he is from that godawful state.
It is what it is.
About 6 months ago, on the coffee table in his office in the Russell Building he had two books. One was Teddy Kennedy’s and one was Harry Reid’s. That, in and of itself, should help with your questions.
Now really, would even a mildly conservative politician have those 2 books on the coffee table in his Senate Office? He's an opportunist, nothing more.
