I didn't think he be any better than a RINO.   From his comment on Facebook.

Quote
Scott Brown “I came to Washington to be an independent voice, to put politics aside, and to do everything in my power to help create jobs for Massachusetts families. This Senate jobs bill is not perfect. I wish the tax cuts were deeper and broader, but I am voting for it because it contains measures that will help put people back to work. ... I hope for improvements in that process going forward.”

Golly Gee...

When I've made comments like the above about other candidates/politicians, I've been accused of being a 100 percenter or asked loaded questions like "when have we ever had a person like that?" or "what is conservative enough to suit you?" etc....

Yup...

I've managed to catch some shrapnel along the way over my refusal to toe a party line.  I wear the scars with pride.

Jeez...welcome to the real world of politics where sometimes you get what you want and sometimes you don`t.
Life in other places may be different then your own,terrible thing to understand those things but whatever

Rather would have had Martha Coakley as a Senator now with Obamacare already signed into place?
Go ahead and say it if you would because that is what the alternative was.
Sorry if that little dose of reality is difficult and you wish to ignore it or flame me for it but it doesn`t change what is.
Can`t help it if you wish to live in make believe land,not my problem I will keep doing whatever I can to get what I can where and whenever I can and anyone else can do the same or stand around griping,I don`t care.

No shit Sherlock.  Thanks for setting us rubes straight.  And here I was thinking everyone on the planet saw it my way.

Pretty good craftsmanship on your straw-man, sir.  If we look back on the historical record though, even when the Communist Cosksuckers had all 60 seats in the Senate, they still weren't making any headway.  What evidence do you have that makes you think that Coakley being in that seat instead of Brown would have altered that condition one iota?

What the Communist cocksuckers in the White house represent is a cancer eating away at the fabric and framework of America.  You don't negotiate with cancer.  You don't permit "just a little cancer" into the system, like the RINO cocksuckers seem to think is an acceptable compromise.  

When dealing with a cancer, you isolate it from the system and ERADICATE IT.  There is no other satisfactory course of action.

If you ask me, The republicans just made their efforts to earn back the trust of Conservatives that much harder between now and November.  Too many more ****-ups like this, and I think that no matter what the Communist Cocksuckers in the White House do, the Republicans are going to be looking up at monitors on Election night, and wonering where all these landslide wins the pundits were promising them are.

 Probably even then, they still won't have a clue.

Gee,there is a shock you can`t stand having the reality of your fantasy world painted out clearly in front of you,color me surprised. :whatever:

So then you would just as soon see a lib that will vote against everything you say you stand for 100% of the time then...nice to know and says all about you anyone needs to hear.
**** off to your little gripe world loser,you can`t ever do anything here but post snark anyways so there must be a forum somewhere to make you happy..Oh wait,your ilk doesn`t want to be happy it just wants to complain and never do anything.

What pisses me off is chest thumpers that claim themselves to be pure and true but would rather lose everything then gain anything.

Brown helped engineer RomneyCare in Mass. He is not nearly as conservative as some thought he was.

Yes, he might be better than the daughter of Satan, Martha Coakley, but he is not our next President, as some had been pushing. lol.

Please tell me what Mass stands a chance of electing...is a moderate as it goes preferably in that seat to the communist you describe or should it just be give to that farthest end of the spectrum without challenge?

Ahhh yes,our little third party person rises from nowhere...been missing for a bit but suddenly came back.
Hmmmm,makes one wonder why,couldn`t be that someone begged you to jump in to this thread huh?

I say it again...he ran as the opposing vote to Obamacare,that not worth anything?
If he turns on that I will call him a liar.
Show me where he said he would oppose a jobs bill...okay?

A jobs bill is a waste,we both think that but it is a short term waste..national health care is the destruction of the economy.

Honest question and not trying to pick an argument with you on the issue.

You are correct in that given the state of the 'desease' in Massachusetts, Brown was - hell, probably still is - the best we could possibly expect from that state.  

But in that case, I still contend that Coakley is almost the better option.  The Dim'Rats stymied themselves on ObamaCare.  They had 60 seats and they still couldn't close the deal; changing that seat red made little more that propaganda difference in that fight.  ObamaCare isn't the only approch the Communist Cocksuckers in the White House are using in their Cloward/Pivens strategy to wreak fundamental changes to the country by collapsing the system under it's own weight.  If we put "R"s in the seats, we need to know that they're going to be rock-ribbed against ALL of these; we cannot afford to be surprised to find out that they're "squishy" on one or two.  

One or two is all the Communist Cocksucker in Chief needs at this point.

Nice try to back track or rewrite but there was no sarcasm or satire. ::)

We can go back and forth all night but seeing how it was you my friend that directly quoted and attacked an opinion of mine after posting several of yours suggesting I am the one that doesn`t like to be disagreed with sends that old irony meter into overdrive.
That your little buddy shows up moments later (anyone can do a post search of you two) makes it all the more laughable.

Whatever and is 11:30 my time..I need to go to bed rather then post on threads through the night when folks aren`t around but everyone is perfectly free to search out what all of us have written and make their own opinions.
I invite it in fact. :cheersmate:
