“He was a disappointment in the Senate. I cannot believe he is the best that NH republicans can come up with. He would caucus with the R’s. But he wouldn’t vote with them very often.”
I donated to Brown a couple of times when he ran against Coakley to take Teddy the Swimmer’s seat. It was one of the first elections after Zero took office, so it was a way to strike back against the idiots who put that commie fraud in the White House.
You are right, Brown was a disappointment. He was glad to chastise tea party/conservatives types, though they were instrumental in propelling him to victory.
I don’t have any allusions about this guy, and I have not sent him any money since his first Senate run and don’t intend to do so again, but the only worse thing than him being elected would be Shaheen being reelected.
I normally don’t play the lesser-of-two-evils game. However, immigration is such a huge problem for this country that if a Republican mush is at least willing to admit that amnesty is wrong, I can hold my nose.
I agree. Voting for him in that special election was the first time I was excited to cast a ballot in Mass since 1984. I was so excited to send him to DC just to vote against Obamacare.
So I guess he did what I elected him to do. But from that point forward he acted like a typical wispy-washy MA republican.
He is not a bad guy. I just think we need someone with a little more dedication to the cause.
I could have written your post as I had the same experience. I donated to Brown to stop Obamacare. I think he was elected to fill the seat of The Swimmer for that very reason. Unfortunately, it did not come up for a re-vote when Congress passed the existing bill. I agree he is better than the 'rat candidate, but I would never send a contribution to that RINO again.
