Nobody Can Blame You If You’re Not Excited About Re-Electing Scott Brown In Massachusetts, But…
…here’s the problem.
In a place like Massachusetts, a guy like Brown might be the best you’re going to get.
Ideally, you’d run a real conservative against Brown in the primary. And maybe you’d beat him. And maybe you’d find that you can get better than 50 percent with a real conservative there; after all, real conservatism is so rarely tried as an electoral strategy in Massachusetts that maybe it’s grossly undersold.
But all that is a theoretical discussion. Brown is the GOP nominee for the Senate.
And this is who the Democrats are probably running against him.
In case you don’t know who Elizabeth Warren is, she’s the former White House financial reform adviser. She’s the one “credited” with establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – which hasn’t exactly improved the banking situation in America.
And she’s a complete moonbat. With ethical problems to boot.
This video shows that it’s either Brown, or the abyss.
The Baton Rouge phone bank, hosted by Bill Cassidy, for Scott Brown’s election early last year was populated by plenty of people who understood that he was no conservative, AND many of these were registered Independents who were also TP members.
None of us were surprised at his ideology. Those in MA who we contacted were overwhelmingly voting against DC and Obama.
It’s Massa-freaking-chusetts, one of the most liberal states in the country. Of course, he isn’t a conservative. He’s much more conservative than the median voter in his state and is extremely valuable to the GOP as a result. It’s very similar to the value that Mary Landrieu gives the Democrats. She votes against all their “green” stuff that hurts the oil industry, plays hard to get on Obamacare, etc., but she’s much more liberal than the median voter. This is also why Orrin Hatch and Lindsey Graham are such bad deals for the GOP– they are relatively moderate but represent very conservative states. This is also why Joseph Cao in LA-2 was such an amazing deal for the GOP.
Think of it as the “moneyball” principle attached to politics.
