When Brown ran for Ted Kennedy’s seat in MA, I knew exactly what he was. Anyone who was paying attention understood his nature. But I voted for him anyway.
And I still ended up disappointed, because he was worse than I thought.
Same here! I’m glad he’s the hell out of MA.
He didn’t even TRY to throw conservatives a bone. Because he thought he wouldn’t need them. He thought that the independents and democrats would flood to his moderation, his “pragmatic” republicanism. The problem with this theory is that independents and democrats vote for...democrats. Because most of the independents used to be democrats who changed their registrations to impress people and so they can vote in republican primaries. That’s how we get the likes of Gabriel Gomez and Charlie Baker.
but a lot of freepers did not know, the “Brown for President” - before he was even elected - crap drove me nuts on this and other forums.
