Think you might be getting a little over-dramatic there, dude?
So, let's follow your 'logic'. If the Republicans can gain ten senate seats over one or two elections, and keep the three New England RINOs in the party, then the Republicans retake all senate committee chairmanships, and have majorities on all committees.
So, you think we're better off without the RINOs, and with the Dims far more entrenched in all senate committees, including the judiciary which is rubber stamping Obama's political hack appointments to the SCOTUS.
The solution is to win enough additional senate seats that the RINOS lack the power to decide what can and can't be filibustered, as they've had since Obama took office, but also to keep the NE RINOs and win enough seats to retake the majority in the senate.
I am from MA and neither disappointed nor surprised. Angry, yes, but I would have been angry if Crookley had voted for this. I knew who he was and despite that I worked for his election in the hope that his election would kill Obamacare. FAIL.
There will be no reason for me to vote for him next time. And I won’t - even if it means Reid, were he to be re-elected. would be majority leader.
see post #60!
Did you just hear him on RKO? - see post #60
As bad as this bill is there’s lots more on the way. Cap and Tax, amnesty, and the Disclose Act to name a few. The RINOs like Brown say they’re against them now until the arm twisting and bargaining begins, then they cave just like any other democrat.
I think the GOP will disappear within a few years. Hopefully, it will be replaced by something better. Scott Brown will then be homeless, politically.
But in the meantime, consider this:
1) He seduced huge numbers of liberal independent women away from a fanatical baby-killer and feminazi, showing that there are limits to their bloodthirstiness. This is a valuable discovery, which may be put to use in California later this year.
2) He exposed the "political master Obama" narrative as a fraud. This started a process of decomposition for the White House political operation which has not yet ended.
On the whole, he is not a very satisfactory Senator. But, perhaps, he started something which will outlive his actual tenure.
I'm OK with that.
Answer: No.
No silly. We liked Scott Brown because he WASN’T Coakly.
There is at least a chance that he will vote with us on some issues.
Did you have another candidate who made it to the final round you would have liked for people to vote for?
How can you say that all we have to do, is elect enough real Conservatives to defeat and offset the East Coast RINO’s to take this back?
Can't you figure out for yourself that having enemies within our own party is why we are losing most all critical legislation? And in the first place, those RINO’s are the critical votes that allowed all the recent Democrat legislation that has been passed, to get past the committee stage and to the floor.
But more importantly, having these RINO’s vote with the enemy is what labels any legislation as “bipartisan” and gives the Democrats additional power to do what ever they please.
It's voters and “conservatives” like yourself who are our worst enemy. We not only have the enemy at the front, we are being stabbed in the back by the enemy within our own ranks.
On top of that, you still find a way to make this sound acceptable. It's utterly astounding!
Now, having said that, I say that it is obvious to me that Mitt Romeny will follow the same path and be more like Obama than he would be like Palin. Mitt is a Leftist as far as I'm concerned (Left of me, anyway).
And although I did vote for Scott Brown, I will NOT vote for Romney. I'm through voting for the lesser of two evils. I'm 50 years old and I've never missed an election, and I've never voted for a Democrat. I am a stalwart Republican voter -- and the party has now lost me if it puts up a Liberal. I'm prepared to sit out a future election if there are no good candidates.
“Hey, B.S. [chuckle], is there an electable social and economic Conservative in MA?
Answer: No.”
Hey, a girl can dream can’t she? :)
Really, there are social and economic conservatives here in Mass. We’re all busy working and trying to pay our bills in this expensive (yet beautiful state). I pray that someday one will come out an run and WIN!
Oh perchance to dream.....
You're the one with twisted logic, and man is it twisted.
Elect enough additional conservatives and Republicans, and the RINOs just become the oddballs in the corner who cannot determine what is or isn't passed or filibustered on anything. They will no longer be able to be prima donnas who spend days in the news and going to the White House because their votes won't matter.
You are, I'm assuming, aware that there is considerable importance to who has the majority of seats in the senate, and who controls the committees? Well, the RINOs do count toward that, but maybe you were happier with having Ted Kennedy in a seat from Massachusetts.
But you can still make a difference. There's a danger another RINO might be elected, this one from California. So, if you don't live there, you can head to California and start working hard for the reelection of Barbara Boxer and help us all avoid the horrible fate of having Fiorina in the Senate instead of Boxer.
Elect enough Republicans that the RINOs have little or no power. And work to elect Republicans in red states that have persisted in sending Dims to the Senate, i.e., Arkansas, the Dakotas, Montana, and others states. That's the answer. Or maybe you're waiting for Maine and Massachusetts to elect a Jim Demint or Jeff Sessions?
Sarah Palin endorsed Scott Brown
What Scotty must know is that behind the scenes, John F-—ing Kerry is laughing his $ss off, telling his pals what a wuss Scotty is and how “I, F-—ing Kerry, have him wrapped around my finger”
Seen or heard of any state planning to challenge the un-constitutionality of this lamearse, idiot-ridden Dodd-Frank financial bill?
At any rate, your response is deflecting from the focus of this article, Scott Brown and his proclaimed and promised “I will be the 41st vote, not the 60th vote.” Given his lamearse voting record to date in his short tenure in the Senate, one would think that Massholes really elected a true libtard Democrat to the seat and that Scott Brown simply used the populist anger directed against this lamearse Jack Squat Barry administration to get elected. But yeah, Scott Brown defenders will argue to the contrary by proclaiming ‘look where he comes from,’ blah, blah. Scott Brown is an utter failure as are the vast majority of politicians that currently reside from the New England states....Collins, Snowe, etc.
Agreed, I noticed that trend, as well. Personally, Massholes will always be for Massholes.
The Republican Party has 100 days to get run over by the clue bus. Failing that, we won't have a Republic to protect. And if Myth Romney is the nominee for President in 2012, the GOP can simply go away.
Yes, but she whispered.
