I keep saying it- Our next tea party march should be ON GOP HEADQUARTERS!!
Who is the conservative in this race?????
This is from the Boston Herald. I’m not sure what to make it of it. Is the claim actually true?
He must be a conservative.
FU local GOP. How did the locals treat Rosanna Pulido when she won the GOP primary for Rahm’s seat??????????
I don’t get this - here is an opportunity to stop the Democrats by denying them a 60th vote - you would think that would be top priority given what’s going on in D.C. - not to mention the huge coup it would be to have a Republican Senator from Massachusetts - and the GOP is doing nothing - makes one wonder whose side they are on....
The Socialist Statist in our party that control all the funds will destroy us unless we all rise up and kick them the hell out Cornyn, Mccain, Graham, Steele and many more need to be sent the message..
I'll send my money directly to Scott Brown's campaign. What is his campaign address?
That is just fine. When he wins he can tell the National Republican Committee to p*ss up a rope.
Take over the local GOP and move it to the right. It is all local. Become a precinct delegate. Find conservative candidates or run for office yourself.
Either they are the dumbest people on earth that don’t know how to fight or they are leftist infiltrators. Absolute Republican Party destruction by leftist infiltrators. Take your pick.
After NY 23 why should you wonder they want to control you too these are power hungry statist and some are closet marxist. Remember what the ex KGB
agents have said they aimed for higher targets they already had the liberals they looked to subvert the right and republicans clearly they have been very successful.
We need to fight for our party now and not wait till 2010 when it will be too late and they will put in place many so called moderates who will vote for big government policies.
MA is a pathetically liberal state that votes in Republican governors from time to time when they know they’re suffering from too much of their own disastrous medicine. This could be a perfect time in that cycle to harvest such electoral self-knowledge to get a Republican Senator seated. Brown is certainly a credible enough candidate.
But nooooo, the Stupid Party’s national apparatus couldn’t lend itself to such a worthy cause.
LOL!! I got thrown under the BUS when I won the GOP Primary against 5 guys!
DO YOU THINK THAT STOPPED ME?? A Pit Bull in size 10 shoes??
Here I go again...

I LOVE to see grown men cry!
Better than a liberal, but supports RomneyCare and ‘reasonable’ development of alternative energy, whatever that means.
Mostly appears to be fre-market, anti-illegal, anti-cap-and-trade, anti-ObamaCare.
Why I’m Running...
America is a great country but we also have some challenges that we need to solve if we’re going to remain the world’s superpower. The most important of our challenges is getting the U.S. economy moving again. People are hurting as they struggle to make ends meet. They’re worried about their future, and that of their children and grandchildren. I want to ensure that we leave them an America that is financially stronger and independent: minus a national debt that we can never repay.
Economy
I am a free enterprise advocate who believes that lower taxes can encourage economic growth. Raising taxes stifles growth, weakens the economy and puts more people out of work. Our economy works best when individuals have more of their income to spend, and businesses have money to invest and add jobs. I have been a fiscal watchdog in the state legislature fighting bigger government, higher taxes and wasteful spending.
Energy and Environment
I support common-sense environment policy that will help to reduce pollution and preserve our precious open spaces. I realize that without action now, future generations will be left to clean up the mess we leave. In order to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, I support reasonable and appropriate development of alternative energy sources such as wind, solar, nuclear, geothermal and improved hydroelectric facilities. I oppose a national cap and trade program because of the higher costs that families and businesses would incur.
Education
I am passionate about improving the quality of our public schools. Accountability and high standards are paramount. I support choice through charter schools, as well as the MCAS exam as a graduation requirement. I have worked to ensure that all children have access to a quality education. I am a strong advocate for the METCO program, which provides lower income students with broader educational opportunities.
Immigration
I recognize that our strength as a nation is built on the immigrant experience in America. I welcome legal immigration to this country. However, we are also a nation of laws and government should not adopt policies that encourage illegal immigration. Providing driver’s licenses and in-state tuition to illegal immigrant families will act as a magnet in drawing more people here in violation of the law and it will impose new costs on taxpayers. I oppose amnesty, and I believe we ought to strengthen our border enforcement and institute an employment verification system with penalties for companies that hire illegal immigrants.
Veterans
As a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army National Guard, I am uniquely aware of the importance and sacrifice of our men and women serving in the military. I have been a vigorous supporter of legislation providing benefits to returning service members, as well as, benefits for the families of those killed in action. I believe we need to recognize the sacrifice of all of our servicemembers by keeping better track of returning military personnel so they get the services they deserve. That includes providing them with first-class medical care and other benefits to which they are entitled. I am known as a leader on veterans’ issues through my work on the Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee, the Hidden Wounds of War Commission, and the Governor’s Task Force on Returning Veterans.
Health Care
I believe that all Americans deserve health care coverage, but that we shouldn’t have to create a new government insurance program to provide it. I support strengthening the existing private market system. In Massachusetts, I support the 2006 healthcare law that expanded coverage, but I believe the Deval Patrick administration must do more to contain the costs of the Commonwealth Care subsidy program.
Gun issues
I support the Second Amendment and believe that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms as a basic constitutional liberty. I support safe and responsible gun ownership.
Death penalty
I believe there are some crimes that are so heinous that they deserve capital punishment. Our Government should have the ability to impose the death penalty in cases where it is justified.
Abortion
While this decision should ultimately be made by the woman in consultation with her doctor, I believe we need to reduce the number of abortions in America. I believe government has the responsibility to regulate in this area and I support parental consent and notification requirements and I oppose partial birth abortion. I also believe there are people of good will on both sides of the issue and we ought to work together to support and promote adoption as an alternative to abortion.
Marriage
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. States should be free to make their own laws in this area, so long as they reflect the people’s will as expressed through them directly, or as expressed through their elected representatives.
Israel
Israel has made enormous sacrifices in an attempt to secure peace – including unilateral withdrawal from Gaza. I support a two-state solution that reaffirms Israel’s right to exist and provides the Palestinians with a place of their own where both sides can live in peace and security. As our closest ally in the Middle East, Israel lives every day under the threat of terror yet shares with America a dedication to democratic ideals, a respect for faith, and a commitment to peace in the region. Until a lasting peace is achieved, I support the security barrier erected by Israel which has proven successful in protecting Israeli civilians from terrorist attacks.
Iran
I support the bi-partisan Iran sanctions bill and believe that until Ahmadinejad gives up his nuclear ambitions he should be isolated from the rest of the world. With its reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons, Iran represents the biggest threat to Israel. Ahmadinejad is a Holocaust denier who has threatened to wipe Israel off the map. Meeting with him confers legitimacy when the only correct response is to treat him as an outcast. A personal meeting with Ahmadinejad, as suggested by my opponent, would embolden him and be used as a propaganda tool to strengthen his position.

I take it that Brown is one of those icky conservatives?
