if he don't deliver, they will throw him in the back of that truck in 2 years, and haul him off...

the fact he is a NRA and GOAL member, with the fear factor of loss of gun rights helped him immensely...but the press don't give that any play at all...

Well he certainly did fleece them.
Since he helped write the MA healthcare reform bill.
But remember! He wears carharts and drives a pickup!

But but but...
he's going to be the one to kill health care....

The reception yesterday was a bit much, don't you think?

I can't wait for the far right guys to figure out that he isn't as Conservative as they like. I hope for his sake he sticks to his guns about working across party lines and such and go with his stances, not the party line. He would gain a lot of respect from me if he does. Even if you disagree with politics, if they are consistent and logical about it, that earns my nod. Sell outs suck on both sides.

it wasnt the far right guys that voted him into office. It was the independents. I said a month or so ago, if you look at Brown's stance on the key issues, they are in line with most MA voters. He is no radical, and people want common sense to rule. For ex - It defies common sense to throw hundreds of billions of dollars at a problem affecting the few at a time when the deficit is larger than ever and we have major unemployment in the country. Common sense.

I do find it humorous you will look for brown for keep his promise on working across party lines yet you give a free pass to Obama? That was one of the keystones of his campaign, along with a new washington and transparency, all of whihc he has failed to dleiver on or even acknowledge.

I am well aware that it was the middle of the pack guys in Mass that voted him in. I want to see if he stays that way in DC!! I was referring to the farther right in his own party.

I have not given Obama a 'free pass' and a few threads back said I was glad this killed the HC bill.. this was not the format we need right now. I do think the bi-partisan stuff is on both sides, and is not just limited to the White House right now. We need more 'purple' and less red and blue from both sides! I look for this to be the kick in the ass to become more populist and less far left!

..so..let's see....during the campaign he was a far right wing radical tea bagger funded by the same radical groups that supported Sarah Palin and in lock step with the evil conservatives...but now....he's not a conservative, probably not even a republican, needs to be a centrist and work with maybe even acquiesce to the will of the dems so we can all live happily ever after???...are you fing kidding me???
