RINO’s are always doing things like that.

We all know that the report was heavily slanted and meaningless, but RINO’s so want to take the other side they’ll accept any straw.

How long before conservatives simply give up on the GOP?

Too bad. He had the excuse that he was just going along with that faked opinion poll that the troops wanted this. But he spoke out just when three Generals came out and said, no, that’s not what they are hearing from the troops.

Obviously he was playing to his constituents, but I don’t believe it will help him in the least. Gay marriage and all the rest of that stuff had to be shoved down the throats of the voters by activist courts and a twisted governor (Romney), even in Massachusetts.

I just can't get all that excited about gays in the military.

If you feel that way then STFU. There will be no going back once instituted.

In my experience, DADT is the way a civilized people interact.

Otherwise, if anyone is interested, I can tell all what I want to do with your teenage daughters.

Homosexuality and various other perversions/proclivities are a reality that exist. They are best kept to self and partners.

Nothing pi$$es me off more than a retard who feels the need to tell me where he/she gets a thrill in the sack. Throw that $hit into a foxhole, and you have a recipe for discourd.

...but he likely will be the RINO-est Senator in Congress.

He's got some stiff competition for that title.

"I accept the findings of the report

Has anyone else stopped to consider that this so-called "report" that seems to "settle" the question, might be a crock of fertilizer?

I want to know if the respondents were able to do so anonymously. I want to see very detail of how, where and by whom the questions were asked. I've never been in the military, but I do know that on the surface, you're supposed to go along with whatever your superiors want. Ultimately this all trickles down to chain of command up to the CIC.

This strategy of a survey/report that allegedly removes all opposition to major left-wing agenda item "report" sounds to me like Saul Alinksy's wet dream. I don't buy it for a second.

"He's to be commended for the times he DOES vote with the GOP between now and then, but he likely will be the RINO-est Senator in Congress. "

Sorry, that argument is not going to fly here. People won't be happy until Brown is defeated by O'Donnell's twin sister, and then trounced in the general by someone well to the left of Ted Kennedy.

>>He needs to be ousted next time around.

There already is a groundswell of support for what could be our next Senator here in MA:

Vicky Kennedy.

Yeah. That would be better. (Article linked below claimed Brown is the most popular pol in MA. Surely someone much less popular would beat him...? Remember this is MA:
Patrick, Murray, Bump, Grossman, Frank, Tierney, Keating,
Olver, Markey, Kerry... If we can get a true conservative in 2012, great, but remember 11/2/10, the second Revolution: Other than getting a few more Republicans in the state legislature, this commonwealth proved to be
DemocRAT heaven.)

>>Is it merely touting, as the sign reads, the attendance of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s widow at a mayoral event on immigrants and diversity? Or is it part of a low-wattage effort to maintain Vicki Kennedy’s profile for a possible 2012 campaign against the man who succeeded her husband, Republican Sen. Scott Brown? That’s the hope of the roughly 1,700 members of a Facebook group “Vicki Kennedy for Senator of Massachusetts in 2012.”
The interest is shared by some Democrats looking for a heavy-hitting challenger to Brown, who staged an extraordinary upset in January to claim the seat Edward Kennedy had held for nearly a half-century.

"Obviously he was playing to his constituents, but I don’t believe it will help him in the least."

He's doing something right. He's the most popular politician in MA.

PPP Poll: GOPer Scott Brown In Good Shape In Heavily Dem Massachusetts

"Brown's approval rating is 53%, to only 29% disapproval."

A 29% disapproval number in this political climate is pretty remarkable.

That’s the “enemy of my enemy must be my friend” disease that hits many people around here at times. I’m still nauseated by the lovefest that Joe Lieberman got here back in the day.

Exactly. By the way prior to the election Brown said that he would vote with GOP sometimes, Dems sometimes; depended on what he thought was best for state, and he said he was that way in the state Senate too.

The Dems promptly released a TV ad: “Who is Scott Brown, really? A Republican. Who will Republican vote Republican
in Republican lockstep with the Republican party.”

Who was telling the truth here, Brown or the Dems?

A bit more, from NECN:

"I think it would potentially be exceedingly disruptive to the force," he said, and expressed doubts for troops' safety if the policy was immediately implemented while they are in battle.

Brown said he wanted the policy to take first take effect for troops at home, and said emphasized that there should be increased education and training for soldiers if or when the policy takes effect.

Deval had high negatives but managed to win (thanks to Tim
Cahill). Overall the last election proved the unions, etc.
could get out their votes and scare tactics (the state will come to an end if the tax rollback passes) and people voted
lockstep Ds, other than in some state legislature races.

While it does show some hope for us that many Mass. pols
don’t score as well in popularity polls, the one that
counted just about a month ago proved otherwise...

I know that I am Indy because I refuse to choose between stupid and evil when it comes to each election.

If Palin or some other credible, genuine, honest, and qualified candidate comes along, I will support them if they choose to eastablish a 3rd party candidacy. I cannot in good conscience support these a-hole Repubs when they continuously poke their long bureaucratic, blue-blood fingers in my eye.

Ah, screw that RINO. I’m voting for Vicky (/ sarcasm)
