Good decision.

By Mark TrumbullStaff writer / February 1, 2013
Republican Scott Brown (click here) won't vie for US Senate seat vacated by John Kerry of Massachusetts, he said Friday. His decision increases the likelihood the seat will stay in Democratic hands.

Oh. Why is it a good decision? He proved he isn't a GOP puppet. You know, Pavlov's dog. Always salivating for the first bone the GOP throws him. I think it is admirable. He put some thought into it. A real move away from extremism. Stop and realize what his last campaign was like. Anyone really want that? At least Brown may be more sane than anyone thought.

I mean he sold out,too. He sold out to big money and I doubt he will have a problem with his future wealth. Why bother? He has a lot of back peddling to do. He has to prove somewhere, somehow he didn't deserve to lose. He lost. Why run again, especially considering the tone and evidence of his time served. Can he hold a candle to the man he replaced? Answer that and then realize who he is looking at in the mirror.

Does anyone actually think Ted Kennedy had no use for Wall Street? His family owned an oil interest. Ted never put any insurance company out of business in Massachusetts when he advocated for the state's responsibility to the citizen. He wasn't interested in destroying Wall Street. He didn't believe they were everything to the country and they aren't, nor should they be, but he did find benefit in having those companies here on USA soil. I am quite sure he was more than miffed at what occurred with the global economic collapse. He would never look the other way and would expect those responsible be held to ridicule.

So, while Mr. Brown took his seat for a short while, it doesn't mean he ever filled those shoes.
