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

The current version of ObamaCare being floated in WashDC may be dead. But some version of a health care bill is not dead! Government mandated and taxpayer subsidized national health care coverage for everyone is not dead. Scott Brown campaigned on reworking what is in the Congress right now and he promised to make it look more like RomneyCare. That will meet with the stamp of approval of the "41st Senator" and get his vote and the vote of other Pubbies.
The fact is, Scott Brown and Mitt Romney are pro-abort, northeast liberals. These Rockefeller Republicans are the antithesis of conservatism. They should both be opposed at every opportunity.
I guess having some Conservative credentails helped Scott; because Mitt's 'team' could not get HIM elected!
I guess Ol' Mitt's not that far away from becoming a Prophet with THAT kind of precognition!
You’re exactly right. Those campaign ads were spot on, perfect, and his staff told Brown to be himself and connect with people on the street, to work his butt off. Meanwhile, Martha collected money from DC lobbyists and insurance tycoons and got caught on camera watching one of her goons knock a reporter down. Then she lied about it although the entire incident was filmed. The debate was a laugh. Brown wiped the floor with her; she was appallingly ignorant. Then Obama came out with the Nebraska cornhusker swindle, secrecy about the healthcare plan when he’d lied and said it’d be on C-Span, and last...the $60 million union payoff. Martha was done. Romney helped make all this happen, God bless him. (And now the press is trying to ruin Brown and his family. Same treatment as Sarah got.)
who hates Mitt?.....he’s a team player so it seems and I thank him for it.....
