How are they “miles apart”? Because you say so? I’ll bet you have his voting record right there in from of you. But probably not.

I thought people stopped believing the shit they read in the MSM. Everything the MSM writes or “reports” involving Governor Palin has to be looked at suspiciously at the very least.

Palin had little to do with his victory. He doesn’t owe her anything. He owes Mitt Romney, McCain and Freedom Works (who provided ground troops). But in any case, Senate is in session all week.

That’s right, MSM’s never ending campaign to divide and conquer.

Headlines are written for that very purpose.

“It is a snub, and Brown is acting as if he has been in the Senate for decades already.”

__________

No he’s not. He’s actually showing up for work.

But you know, this could be Scott Brown nearly breaking a leg to backpedal once the word was out that he wasn’t on Sarah’s team. He has got to know what kind of influence Sarah has. When the President of the United States answers your Facebook notes, you got major stooch.

"No he’s not. He’s actually showing up for work."

That is crap.

Brown campaigned for US Senate while a State Senator..."on the clock."

This is a political faux pas by the rookie Senator. He should be there and his bowing out is indicative of his true nature and ambition. He will not win election again in Massachusetts without support of the sort of people who are going to attend Wednesdays function.

How can he bow out if he never intended to attend the rally in the first place? Sounds to me like he has his priorities in order, much to the dismay of the perfection squad on here.

Massachusetts Republicans are kind of like British conservatives aren’t they?

I have seen his Mass Senate voting record, plus his campaign material. He’s in favor of a national health care system based on Romneycare, for one thing.

I don’t have Palin’s Alaskan senate or house voting record, though, but I don’t think she feels such a system is constitutional. Maybe she does, but her statements so far don’t lean that way.

“”I voted for health care here.... we’re past campaign mode and it’s important for everyone to get some form of healthcare. So to offer a basic plan for everyone I think is important.. there are some very good things in the national health care plan that is being proposed””

He just did not like Obamacare. But he supports some sort of system in which everybody has a national-level plan, and now that he’s “past campaign mode”, he’ll talk about it.

The Scott Brown victory last January was like threading a needle.

It was a miracle.

We likely will not see such an event soon around these parts.

He chooses to ignore those who supported him at his political career peril.

No biggy, he ain't hurting financially and the message was sent.

I like the guy, but this ain't at all about like.

This is about our children and all of posterity.

>>Palin had little to do with his victory. He doesn’t owe her anything.<<

Which is probably why she didn’t respond to this nonstory...

“I’d rather he be there, no matter what the rally was going on here. We elected him to be Senator... and that is what he should be doing. He can attend rallies outside of working hours. “

A great perspective. Sometimes we forget these people are supposed to working. They shouldn’t be spinning every minute into a political statement by what they do or don’t do.

He’s right. If Brown really wanted to, he could attend both.

Brown downplayed the Tea Party and their effect on his election shortly after winning.

It’s no big deal really, but it is true.

People might not believe what they read, but they love to use it to trash the Republican of their choice. Especially here.

What a load of crap. He is not now or any other time in favor of “a national healthcare system based on Romneycare”. That’s a lie and chopping up a quote to misrepresent him proves you know it.
