In 2010, he was a Tea Party poster boy. In 2012, Scott Brown (RINO-MA) should not get as much as a nod of acknowledgement from Tea Party groups.
Brown shocked the country back in 2010 when he beat his Democratic opponent, Martha Coakley, and was elected to the state’s Senate seat vacated by the late Teddy Kennedy. Blinded by the desire to deny the Democrats a super-majority in the Senate, the Tea Party Express paid to run pro-Brown ads. FreedomWorks activists campaigned for him.
But now that he’s up for re-election for a full six-year term in 2012 and his less than conservative voting record is known, Tea Party activists should stay home.
Tea Partiers should resist the “least of two evils” doctrine. Conservative activists and Tea Partiers must begin to put real teeth in their demands to vote only for conservatives. Votes are what counts. If we can’t count on conservative votes consistently from Senator Scott Brown, then we can’t count on him at all and he shouldn’t count on the Tea Partiers.
I’m sick of RINO’s and liberal, big-tent Republicans. They are willing co-conspirators that have appeased and enabled the progressive liberals to tax-and-spend and fuel the entitlement mentality that has crippled our economy.
