OK,let's do a quick review.I don't know where you're from,so I'll make it general in nature.
"Americans For Democratic Action" is a large,well known and "respected" (by the usual suspects) Maoist organization.One of the things they do,every year,is rate every member of Congress regarding their votes on what they see as important issues.Here's a rundown of their findings on New England's 12 Senators for 2012 (the most recent year that they've rated).Remember,a score of 100% means "perfect" for them...meaning a perfect Maoist and 0% means,to them,"filthy knuckle dragging racist who should have been aborted".
Brown (R-MA) 50%**********Lieberman (Rat-CT) 80%
Ayotte (R-NH) 10%**********Leahy (Rat-VT) 100%
Collins(R-ME) 50%**********Shaheen (Rat-NH) 95%
Snowe (R-ME) 50%**********Sanders (Rat-VT) 100%
***************************Kerry (Rat-MA 95%
***************************Blumenthal (Rat-CT) 90%
***************************Reed (Rat-RI) 90%
***************************Whitehouse (Rat-RI) 90%
When forced to choose between 50% and 100% (or even 80%) I'll take 50%.Of course many here (including you,perhaps?) will take 100% in the same situation because,damn it,I WANT RONALD REAGAN...and if I can't have Reagan I'll settle for Obama (or Dirty Harry).
Supporting non-conservative Republicans gets us growing government forever.
I oppose that.
I think you did not read my whole post.
I said I would support Brown to get a republican senator, but I understand why other conservatives feel it is more principled to oppose him.
