“ He wasn’t a hero. He was voted in to stop Obamacare, but the he voted to move it forward. Republican have never forgotten his betrayal. Also, he ran as a phony populist.”

He is a poster boy turncoat An icon.

Well, I don’t know how you expect to convince any one of your position , if you won’t explain it.

The 16th Amendment is part of the Constitution regardless of how it was passed.

But you have a nice day!!

Exactly- he used the Tea Party to get elected then spat in our face- as did so many other d-bag RINO’s.

I remember seeing Chris Matthews practically in tears and slurring his words about “losing the Kennedy seat”.

No, he didn’t vote to pass it.

What people have an issue with is Brown’s voting for cloture on the $140 billion spending bill in March 2010 after he took his seat. Although he voted against the bill when it came to a full vote, people took issue with it because Obamacare was dependent on that spending bill because it contained revenue offsets which were needed for Obamacare.

All in all, Scott Brown found out you can never take half steps to out-liberal a real liberal, but the real danger is that people who help Leftists, even when not intending to do so, lend their efforts the aegis of “bipartisanship”.

“Oh look! Another 5-person article with Chuck Todd!
So I guess Chuck & the Gang REALLY wanted Gail Huff Brown to be the GOP nominee to continue the pantywaistery in Congress (or to make it easier for the Democrat to win). They’re all teary-eyed.”

LMAO!!! XD

(You know, panty-wastery could be a term, too - but a lot of people don’t know how to spell either, so that’s out.)

Yep. Take for example Paul Ryan who used the Tea party label and later everyone learned what a true blue assistant Dem RINO he really is.

Exactly - Hogwash

Those issues that gave rise to Trump were in the community. Trump was popular because of these issues but more importantly it was because Trump stood up for his values and did not run from a fight as so many Republican politicians do.

Is there really a need for a new Flake?
Isn’t the old one disgusting enough?

The authors were awarded writing credits for following deep state orders.

The deep state ministry of propaganda wrote it.

Hell, at this point it might just be AI.
