U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, whose stunning victory in January was fueled in part by Tea Party anger, has snubbed the fiery grassroots group and declined its invitation to join Sarah Palin Wednesday at a massive rally on Boston Common, the Herald has learned.

Brown’s decision to skip the first big rally in Boston by the group whose members are credited with helping him win election has some experts saying he’s tossed the Tea Party overboard, as he prepares for re-election in 2012.

We shouldn’t be bagging on him.

He’s the best we’ll get from MA.

We should be focusing our efforts on Grahamnesty in SC and McCain in AZ, where we should have more conservative representation.....

The Senate is in session and Brown can’t get away, Browne said.

With all the MSM trying to find chinks in the armor of the Tea Party Movement, and this article is no exception, it is quite possible that this is an accurate statement. Congressmen should be in Washington when the House and Senate are in session.

Even so, we’re still better off with him than with Coakley.

(What we? I’m in MI, not MA.)

Regardless...having an R, any R in the “Kennedy” seat is a psychological stone in the Dems’ shoes that no amount of RINOism will remove.

..of course, from a N.E. Liberal Paper (a calculated miss-truth).
Has he really "forgotten" us...only @ his own political peril.

Barbara Klain, head of the Greater Lowell Tea Party, said Brown also turned down an invite to speak at their April 15 rally in downtown Lowell.

“He said he was going to be in Washington,” Klain said. “He needs to be doing his job.”

It’s a view Sabato suggested was willfully naive.

I see your point & I believe that you're right. But please don't forget that there were fellow FReepers (a-hem) who waned you before his election that he was a liberal in the grass (I refuse to say "snake", 'cuz I love snakes! LOL). I was hated on before the elections 'cuz I told you this would happen!
