Joe Kennedy: The Forgotten Tea Party Senate Candidate in Massachusetts

I hope Kennedy throws support to Brown here in these last critical days. Even if Brown has a mixed record as a conservative, the political necessity of gaining that 41st Senate vote and depriving the Dems of 60 is way too important in terms of stopping the disaster that is happening. Furthermore, the psychological blow to Dems everywhere in the country will be so great, they will really be on the mat for a while.

But you have voters who think a paternalistic government is the right course of action. They do not want government cut down to size. Therefore it does matter who is in office for both sides. If we can get a moderate Republican elected from liberal Massachusetts, then that’s a huge victory and not the lesser of two evils. But that’s just my opinion.

One of the most important facts some people overlook is that Brown, if he wins, only holds the seat until ‘Kennedy’s’ term is finished. Brown, despite his other records has made no bones about the fact that he will vote against Obamacare. We just need him to break the filibuster-proof DIM majority long enough for us to get through November and get more Republicans and conservatives elected to break the DIM’s stranglehold on the legislature.

Dodge is using PM’s pages to promote a leftist fraud. And he’s flat-out lying about who this man is. He’s no conservative, he’s never been a conservative... he’s trying to split the anti-democrat vote and throw the election to Coakley.

That reflects very poorly on PajamasMedia in my eyes.

There is not a conservative to be found in this race. That’s a clear fact.

Now back to your now-regularly-scheduled FR ‘Republicans root for the pro-abort out of political expediency’ barf-fest...

I agree.

Maybe the best hope for a candidate like Brown is that the political winds are blowing towards fiscal responsibility. That may counteract the 'Seduction of the Dome' that overwhelms near all in Congress.

According to his campaign statement he also supports our 2nd Amendment rights. He is also the first politician to mention the CUTS to the Military's Tri Care health ins. Hannity FAILED to pick up on that one small statement.

As long as Brown votes against the truly egregious legislation like the health care bill, or any step-children thereof, and the Crap and Slave environmental thing.

He is Eddie Murphy. Just not funny.
