So who would you install in the Massachussetts Senate seat, since you think all you have to do is put a social conservative on the ticket and he walks away with it.

I don't think anybody here wanted Coakley to win. The issue is more of a "win the battle lose the war scenario".

Scott Brown won last night. The Republican Party won last night. The opposition to the current "Health Care Bill" won last night (for now). Did "we the people" really win last night (in the long run)? Did the unborn win? Did those who foundationally/constitutionally oppose government run health care win? How about the sanctity of marriage: Did it win? (I hope so, but I am not so sure.)

RINO's have consistently been a thorn in the side of conservatism and care for Country and Constitution. They constantly compromise and side with liberals who look to establish amnesty for illegals, and with those who talk about a "green economy", and with those who look to seat judicial activists, and with those who pass Stimulus Bills in to law, and with those who find constitutional rights for abortion, sodomy and housing, etc., etc., etc.

With RINO's in office, we eventually get where the anti-constitutional, anti-capitalist liberals want us to be...

...but just under an extended timetable.

Brown is not foundationally opposed to government run health care (look at Mass.)....He just doesn't agree with the current versions. Given that, in what form will he vote for government run health care?

Is it really good enough to just slow the march of tyranny and statism down?

Is it really impossible to altogether defeat?

Will we continue to settle for potentially short term, short sighted Republican victories that provide only a temporary and false relief to our frustrations and to the crushing threat to freedom?

As I posted earlier, some posters (such as you, apparently) are looking at Brown's election through the prism of political party, and it's implications on the GOP.

Brown is opposed to amnesty. That's my problem with this article - it tries to claim Brown offers nothing to advance conservatism, but that is just plain wrong. I agree with your larger points - but the Dems had us up against our own one-yard line, and Brown's election just gave us ten yards. And we needed that ten yards badly. But there are some who are complaining that we didn't score on the play.
