“Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown: Use enhanced interrogation in attempted terrorism case”

I’m with him, but the voters in MA will likely go with another liberal if he keeps talking like that; they will once again be the Commonwealth of MassiveTwoShits...

Never underestimate the conservative nature of Americans.

People said the same of NY23 & no one expected the conservative to come within a few hundred votes of winning (& we still don't know how many votes they stuffed) when 6% voted for the woman that had pulled out.

Believe.

I don’t know. William Weld started a string of Republican governorships by talking about reintroducing MA prisoners to “the joys of busting rocks”.

I heard today that to be able to do this that we have to declare war on AQ specifically, to be able to try them as enemy combattants.
This is the reason that the shoe bomber etc were tried in Fed Court.
Even though the Gitmo bunch were captured on the battlefield the Zeros are using this as a pretense to try the terrorists in Fed court.
Tell the candidate to make it an issue that the terrorists are at war with US, but we are NOT technically at war with them.
Nice way to protect the American people.

Is Scott Brown conservative or just a RINO? Also, is there a website where we can go and donate to his campaign? I’m Yahooing but haven’t found anything yet.

He’s worthy. Much better than we should have hope for in MA, yet he’s likable and running a good campaign.

I’d rather have a RINO from MA, than a liberal democrat. But I know I’m in the minority here on FR. Democrats are in favor over RINO’s here.

I was only asking if Scott Brown was a RINO because I know nothing about him or his political views. It would be great to take one of the 60 seats away from the Dims!

That's a lie.

'Another' liberal? Scott Brown is no liberal and is conservative on a number of issues and a good candidate considering we are talking about Massachusetts.

If those are the only choices, you have to go w/the one who will vote against HC and Cap & Tax.

+++++++++++++++

Why are you conceding to a RINO when Brown is not even a RINO (as far as I can tell?)

It’s about principal and approach. If we concede to RINOs in blue states, we may as well allow the RATS to run unopposed because what will happen is that we’ll work, and work and work to get a RINO a bare chance at victory, and even then it isn’t likely. So instead of conceding to RINO better than RAT, first contend the RINO and run a Conservative - and get your message OUT there! Perhaps the breath of fresh air blowing across this nation will still include MA and my sorry state of WA...

I understand Coakley is on vacation. Nice.

PS: I read she was endorsed by NARL Pro-choice America today. I should think that might mean she’s given up on getting any support from Cardinal Seán Patrick O’Malley.
