Primary conservative, General GOP.
He’s better than Coakley would’ve been, which is about all we could hope for.

Conservatives Victorious in 2010

You are entitled to your opinion, but it is politically weak. Scott Brown not only replaced one of the most liberal Senators in history, but he defeated the Demonrat machine in its stronghold. Other than a few outliers, no one here is unhappy Brown is in office.

this jobs bill is a joke, it will do nothing and will not cost us much considering the costs we already face. He must have done it for political reasons. He was elected to stop the government takeover of 1/6th of the economy, aka health-care. He is still on board for that.

I think those calling brown a traitor are deep cover lefties and a few “the sky is falling” types. Hell, the lamestream media was saying we all were calling him a traitor long before anyone was posting it, they are pushing the meme. Any check of our blog shows 90 percent of us are not saying this.

They are trying to divide and conquer as well as gloss over their devastating defeat. That is fine, but we will not help them with their talking points.

that everyone is freaking out about Brown voting for the bill, and saying nothing about Snowe, Collins, Voinevich, or Bond? You can deride Brown for voting for the jobs bill, but would you rather have Coakley in that seat? I for one am happy to have Brown over Coakley. I am quite positive that Brown will vote with us at least half of the time, and Coakley would have voted with us never. I think we got the better end of that deal.

is the fact that unemployment insurance benefits are running out ($12B of the $18B goes to the states to support their unemployment comp. claims).

you would have socialized medicine right now. If you really want all the “RINOS” gone, so be it. But you and your super minority will live with card check, amnesty, cap and tax and socialized medicine.

The funny thing is that the GOP backed jobs bill cost four times as much as this bill and contained many of the same provisions. This is relatively small. It gives small business some tax breaks and exempts payroll taxes. The highway program and unemployment extensions are temporary. He ran under the banner “Jobs Are Jobs One” in Massachusetts. What does one expect.

He needs to show his independence at some point and I’d rather it be on these smaller bills that will only have a temporary impact than on transformational issues like radical judges, cap and tax, socialized medicine. card check, amnesty,…, which will fundmentally alter our country. If anything this will help him vote with us on more important matter in the future.

I thought we conservatives were for “limited government”? Maybe we can “limit” the debt to say 20 trillion?
This will extend and deepen the depression. Whenever you see the word ‘jobs’ and ‘bill’ in the same sentence, run!

NO ONE on the Conservative side of the divide is happy with Brown but WE knew going in what kind of Republican he was and the effect his election had cannot be shown but WAS FELT in DC! The fear that his election struck in the Democrats cannot be short changed. This stupid obamacare horror would have been reconciled with the House and signed by The Won.

Bottom line is he will not get the millions over the internet the next go round in 2 years but he will then get GOP money. So yes this vote is a tad bit sad but its a done deal he has made his bed and he will be the person who has to live with this particular vote (stupid vote really) for 15 billion more off the backs of Americans while the “stimulus” slush fund should have been raided for the 15B but he thought he was right WE know he was wrong and that is the end of that.

SO GET OVER IT!

in Massachusetts, two Democrats in Maine, one Democrat in Arizona (because JD Hayworth is going to get creamed), probably a Democrat to replace Lindsay Graham, a Democrat in NH (because Ayotte is likely going to win the primary), and the Democrats holding their seats in CA and Delaware.

When you get your meds balanced, try again.

I’m from there. I hate to tell you all if you don’t want to write off 10 states, you’re going to have to be flexible. You can’t do anything from the minority.

“If you want to be the perfect majority, you’re going to remain the perfect minority” ~Newt Gingrich

doesn’t always mean electing 100% conservative-since-they-were-12 types.

If you have a pot of water that’s gone cold and it needs to be boiling hot again, there are a couple of ways to do it. Anything super fast is either not going to work as well as you think it will or has high risks for unpleasant consequences. The secret is patience. Get the heat going under that pot. Put a lid on it so the heat is trapped inside. As it gets warmer, stir the water every now and then to distribute the heat and get rid of the colder spots.

It’s not a clear analogy, but it’s a general idea of what we have to do. Get conservatism out there. Talk about it. Warm up the electorate slowly. Get the cold ones out of there, or shake them up a bit so they pay attention. If you try to go too far right too fast, you leave the door wide open for problems.

There’s no way to get the entire GOP “fixed” in one election – and no way we’ll ever have a 100% pure conservative GOP. NO WAY. Sorry, but that’s life. Electing Scott Brown was a step in the right direction, a message to the left and a burner turned up a notch or two under that pot. We just have to accept that it’s a long road.

She is running ahead of Paul Hodes a Mass. liberal type socialist, by nearly 10% in the latest Rasmussen Poll. GOP has been Ovide Lamontagne is not fooling anyone with his “born again” tea follower claims. He trails 45 to 38 to Hodes. Losing this seat would be a disaster to the wave that is building into the Red State tsunami.

She served as the first female Attorney General in the State of New Hampshire. She believes in smaller govenrment and lower taxes and she will be the next senator from NH. So get on board. She’s a great lady.

Take Erick Brockway’s advice:

Conservative in the primary, Republican in the general

Sometimes we have no choice…we can’t always have the ideal candidate. There are some districts where we’re most likely going to have moderates. MA, ME, CA are three examples of this. The battle in California is a great example of how it should be done. We have a decent chance of nominating Chuck DeVore there.

Stay home and you’ve cast half a vote for the bad guys.

I totally agree with your observations @ Brown. HOWEVER, he was most definitely the lesser of the 2 evils. I emailed and faxed him my disgust at his vote, as if he cares. I am not from MA, but TN. However, I know of 2 good friends who sent him $$, and don’t think they will do so again. It will be interesting to see how he votes on Obamacare. I think he only has 2 years left on TK’s term, so he could cook his goose with the MA folks too. However, they have proven to be pretty Left and Stupid for a long time.

I did hear Rush say yesterday that, no matter how you feel about Brown, it is vastly more important right now for Republicans to win these races and not fight amongst themselves. I consider myself a Conservative/Right Winger, but also think that forming a 3rd party at this time, will help the Democrats more than ever, so will vote Republican.
