But he’s a hell of a lot better than the alternative
No he is not. He has not voted for one conservative cause since his first few votes just to appease the conservatives. I am sorry but yesterday I might have been saying the same thing but this is it. He must be voted out.
Because he's not a conservative and doesn't claim to be one. He voted against Kagan, for Patriot Act Renewals, and to repeal Obama care just last month. Do you really think you'd have gotten any of those votes out of Martha Coakley or Ted Kennedy?
Those are your alternatives.
This isn't PA or AZ we're talking about kicking out an Arlen Specter or John McCain and replace him with Pat Toomey or a John Kyl type. It's Massachusetts.
