For underdog Scott Brown, all’s Weld that ends Weld

What flat-out stuns me is that SO many freepers are so willing to take the word of a Democrat-Media Complex (DMC) stooge over Scott Brown’s own words on his web site.

Dems got their guy in NY23 “against marxcare” then voted for. Why not same thing for pub?

B/S. No state can deny its citizens their fundamental rights to Life and Liberty. And no state can deny its citizens their constitutional rights to be secure in their homes and private affairs and or to deny them their rights to personal property. And no conservative and NO Republican should ever go along with any of this un-American statist clap-trap!!

[mo]

“..she’s trying to spook conservatives away from Brown.”

BINGO!!!!!

[engrpat]

Since all politics are local Brown is doing what he has to do. If he should win we have worse RINO’s in congress than he could be. Take our wins in the blue states where we can. If he should win or even come close it will set off alarms through the halls of congress with democrats wondering what happened?

[campaignPete R-CT]

There are over 4 million adults in MASS. If a full-blown Reaganite 100% pro-lifer had run in a primary against Brown in a primary, such candidate might have received 40,000 votes at most. THAT IS 1%.

WHEN will the voters stand up for Life, Liberty, and Freedom?
The Massachusetts voters are getting the scumbag politicians that they deserve. In this instance, the hope is that they won’t foist Coakley on the rest of the country, to rule us.

[Jim Robinson]

If it mandates that a citizen purchases its state approved product or pay a penalty (or face jail time) it does indeed violate that citizen’s constitutional rights.

Scott Brown is not perfect by any means, but I will not sit by and let Martha Coakley become the 60th Dem Senator. If she’s elected, ObamaCare along with its 40% tax on my “Cadillac” health insurance, guaranteed immigration amnesty,along with other countless socialist programs be become reality. If Brown turns into the next McCain/Graham/Snowe/Collins, then in 2012 when that seat is up for its usual election, I will not vote for him.

The tide is turning even here in the People’s Republic of MA, but it will not be done in one fell swoop. It is going to take time. I believe Brown is a step in the right direction. Even if he loses it will be by a narrow margin. To me it shows that people, even here, are starting to realize that the time of “hope and change” is a failed idea and we can get back to sensible, conservative ideals.

YUP

Whatever it takes to stop this monster.

[Mariner]

"Would Freepers be willing to elect a RINO in order to stop the health care bill"?

In Massachusetts, yes. As long as he's a FISCAL conservative...less spending, less taxes, less government...pro-2nd Amendment.

We can't expect Mass to elect a Demint or Palin.

[misterrob]

What are you going to get in Mass? Coburn, DeMint or Sessions? Hardly. If it means that getting 41 seats and stopping the enemy then so be it.

[goldstategop]

RomneyCare is a disaster. It doesn't work and isn't a model for other states. The Constitution reserves police powers and domestic policy decisions to the states. The federal government does not have the authority to regulate health care or or on any other subject not specifically granted to it by the Constitution. If a state makes a mess of things, like Massachusetts did, the rest of the country won't pay for it. When the federal government does it, we all pay for it. Incidentally, the reason state constitutions are so detailed is that states have the residual power to regulate anything not reserved for the federal government, which is vast in scope. So there are state limits on taxation and on regulatory policy.

Rubio is pro illegals and pro amnesty? I was worried about that. Sucks. I wonder if idiot Crist is against amnesty.

[misterrob]

You are never going to get a strict conservative to take a Senate seat in Massachusetts. On the other hand. you can keep the seat out of the hands of the enemy which is as good as you are going to get. I am all for sticking to principles and while Brown might not be the perfect guy he can be the win that denies Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the left the victory that will screw us all royally.

Come on, wouldn’t the screaming coming from the WH and Capital Hill and MSNBC if Brown won be a nice after Christmas gift?

[Jim Robinson]

Stormy seas ahead for believers and conservatives. But, that’s the way it’s always been and always will be. Will pray we’re abiding by God’s will.

[goldstategop]

We just can't afford Obamacare. Brown is not everything we would like to have in a Massachusetts Senator but he is light years from what Uncle Ted stood for. That is why Kennedy's widow and MoveOn oppose him. They know the stakes. The question is: do we?

[misterrob]

Collins and Snowe would be my bets for something like that

[Frantzie]

There is an indepndent also running named Kennedy (no relation) and he supposedly the real conservative in the race in MA and is on the ballot.

My $0.02:

Better a liberal than a leftist. Better a RINO than a liberal. Better a Republican than a RINO. Better a conservative than an Republican. Better a libertarian/conservative than a conservative.

Every storm can be ridden out. Calmer seas are always on the horizon ;)
