I admit that since the election of Scott Brown, my eyes have been opened to the greater danger of liberal republicans, who can assist in the passage of liberal legislation and give it the cover of “bipartisanship”.
All it means is that it takes a few extra steps to get to Gomorrah, as Judge Bork would say.
Sorry about that ... I helped that same Scott Brown by sending him some money, which I rarely do for politicians! But at least I can say I did do it with my eyes wide open, having suffered under (and at one time enthusiastically supported) Arnold Schwarzenegger. Guess who he brought back to California? Jerry "Governor Moonbeam" Brown!
Therein lies another reason the biggest and most likely danger that lies ahead isn't not beating Obama/whatever liberal, but being saddled with a liberal with an R after his name because the next liberal Democrat will be ridiculously worse than the last. From Gray Davis (very bad) to Jerry Brown, via liberal, big government Republican Arnold. Liberal big government HW Bush gave us Clinton; my beloved Dubya, and I supported him proudly, gave us Obama, at a time when no sane American could conceive of anything worse than Hillary ...
I shudder to imagine what Democrat successor four or eight years of a Big Government Cap and Trade liberal Republican like Romney would bring?

Meanwhile back in the real world:
Dems gang up on Brown (Dems say Scott votes 87% with GOP)
First-term Newton Mayor Setti Warren blasted Brown for not representing the “values” of Bay Staters by voting along Republican leadership lines “87 percent of the time.”
“Some say I’m too young, I’m too new, it’s not my time,” declared Warren, a former aide to U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry and President Bill Clinton. “I say that this is exactly the right time to take on the man who held up unemployment benefits for the jobless until millionaires got their tax break,” he continued.
Alan Khazei, founder of City Year, the Boston-based domestic Peace Corps, and a former Senate candidate, criticized Brown.
“We have a senator now who wants to eliminate America’s service programs. Who wants to cut job training . . . who wants to gut the Clean Air Act . . . all while defending the tax cuts of the wealthiest 2 percent,” Khazei said.
Even political neophyte Herb Robinson piled on, telling the delegates that he was the better person to guard the nation from nuclear disaster.
“So, who do you want protecting the safety of Main Street America, a photogenic show-off or an engineer who has to know the difference between hair spray and nuclear fallout?” said the computer programmer from Newton.
