I’m happy to say I voted for Scott Brown, all he had to do was show up in Washington and the health care bill died that day.

Now I know I’m going to get flamed for saying this, but I think it needs to be said.

The Health Care bill wouldn’t of died if Scott Brown wasn’t elected, and the reason he ran to begin with was that he was asked to run for the senate seat by Mitt Romney.

If you take a look at the names of the people who worked on Brown’s campaign you’ll see many are the same as the team that ran Mitt’s, that’s because Mitt sent his team to Scott Brown and gave him logistical support, yet stayed in the background.

So many of you on here hate Mitt, you have to give him credit and thank him for using his resources and helping to find a candidate that he knew would win in Mass, and then showed him how.

Like him or hate him, we all have to thank him.

" The schedulers for the State of the Union have taken care not to conflict with fans eager to watch the three-hour premiere of ABC's "Lost." The president's address precedes "sweeps" week, so we can watch without distractions to see whether the president understands what the Scott Brown phenomenon was about, and whether he's rethinking how to "get it right." If he doesn't, he can still watch the premier of "Lost." The title alone should make a painful point. "

The poetic irony of it all... perhaps in providence, we are getting a sign.... their side is losing and has lost.

If Mitt’s team helped Scott, that is great. I don’t ‘hate’ Mitt, I just don’t agree with him on different topics. Any vote by me FOR Mitt would only be AGAINST what ever dim he was running against. As for Scott, I am glad he won, but he ran as more conservative than I think he is. That will show later in his votes.

You won’t get no flame from me. Mitt Romney was my first choice and I wished he would have gotten the nomination. We would not have the p o s that sits in People’s House, had he won the elction

I just hope he knows there are many things he must stop.

“The Health Care bill wouldn’t of died if Scott Brown wasn’t elected”

Agreed. Brown was the spike in the heart of the blood sucking democrats. But there was a lot of things that came together to make this happen:

1. Ted Kennedy with all his vanity, held onto the seat until death.
2. Mass democrats changing the law so the governor could appoint a democrat to take his place immediately.
3. The Teaparty demonstrations — HUGE IMPACT!
4. The grassroots conservatism at the townhall meetings.
5. Mitt’s support of Brown.
6. Congress’s latest deal with the unions — that just angered a lot of people and IMO put the Mass voters over the edge.

A perfect storm???

“As for Scott, I am glad he won, but he ran as more conservative than I think he is. That will show later in his votes.”

I hope he is a true conservative. Even if he is not, he is not the ultra-liberal senator that MA usually places in the senate. Also, he has served a great service already — he was the spike in the heart of the health care monstrosity.

I’m sorry, but the photo of Scott Brown standing next to that insane turncoat McCain, with McCain promising to “reach across the aisle” for a “compromise” on the “Health Scare” bill, and promising amnesty for tens of millions of illegals, I just wanted to VOMIT!

I fear that Scott Brown will be taken “under the wing” of the Repubilcan “moderates” and the resident “Maverick” and sell us out.

I share your concerns and, in addition, Brown stated Thursday he voted for RomneyCare and continues to support it. I expect a RINO version of O-care will appear in the very near future - but it will still be the same govt socialism the 'rats have been pushing.

God help us all....

Because it’s kinda hard to figure out if you don’t have it written down)

1. Mitt Romney is EEEEEEEEEEVILLLLLLLL! (But his buddy Scott Brown, his
ideological twin, is super-keen!)

2. John McCain is EEEEEEEEEEVILLLLLLLL! (But Sarah Palin and Scott
Brown, who not only endorse McCain but are actively campaigning for him,
are the hope and future of the GOP)

The above doublethink is VERY IMPORTANT to instill in your mind if you
don’t want to lose it when reading FR.

His five-point triumph was all the sweeter for it, the accomplishment of the impossible dream of election to the U.S. Senate as a Republican in Massachusetts.

Which is sweeter, which is more impossible, a Republican in the vacated "lion of the senate's" seat or a black man in the oval office?

Think positive.

Scott killed obamacare.

Someone else will kill romneycare or any offspring of it.

Massachusetts Patriots need to help us to help them stop this.

there’s no denying that Mitt has strengths which - had he run against and defeated obambi - would be much better today for America than what we actually have.

But I humbly submit to you that there is a greater struggle for the soul of Republican virtue and for America. And No, Republican virtue is NOT what runs through the mainstream Republican party today.

Mitt would likely have continued dimmi-lite economic and social policies which would have left us with a still-too-big federal government holding yet-too-much (Dept of Education, EPA, etc) sway in our lives.

Frankly, that flash movie linked often times here showing Mitt - when governor of Mass - defending abortion in such easy terms, without barely a hint of the moral dilemma which a man who truly follows God in his life must surely feel... well, that just tells me that we cannot have a leader, certainly not a leader for the Right, who does not have a moral spine from which to hold true to principle and conservative values. In short, Mitt’s good, but not what we need.

We need to get the federal government OUT of our lives, and restrict it as our Constitution intended. Having Bill Clinton lite does not further that goal.

Anyone who thinks Mitt Romney had little to do with Scott Brown’s campaign should read this:
