You know that right?
The Republicans are dumping big money into this guy because he is glamorous.
He hasn't done anything for the people of Massachusetts except be a member of the party of NO.
We can start with his hostility against women.
His 'stand' isn't about abortion, it is about cruel and unusual punishment of women that have been raped. That was RAPED. Got it? Pure unadulterated hostility against women. He can't remember all of a sudden that he made such a stand? Oh, really. Sorry, but, I wouldn't want to take the chance he would 'do it again' after he remembers. Republicans are liars. Nothing, but, liars. They 'play position politics.' No pun intended.
Brown’s failure (click title to entry - thank you)
By Yvonne Abraham Globe Columnist

I don’t know what’s worse: that Scott Brown tried to weaken a law guaranteeing emergency contraception to rape victims, or that he now claims he can’t remember doing it. Or maybe it’s that, now that he’s running for US Senate, he’s dragging his daughters into the controversy to protect himself....
All of a sudden he has a lot of money coming into his campaign. Where did it come from? Long time backers? Or opportunists?
GOP Senate hopeful Scott Brown (click here) is outspending Attorney General Martha Coakley in television and radio ads as his campaign forges ahead in the general election, a Democratic source told the Herald yesterday.
Although he began the campaign as an underfunded long shot struggling to catch up to Coakley’s robust fund-raising operation, Brown was bolstered by an online cash drive that raked in a whopping $1.3 million in a day, according to his campaign.
“As of today, he will have outspent Martha Coakley’s campaign,” said the source....
That position is not his only failure in the political spectrum. Allow me.
In the Massachusetts State Senate his voting record is a failure. He, only on an occassion voted effectively for his constituencies. He is a member of 'The Party of No." He doesn't have 'policies,' all he has going for him is politics. We have seen these Republicans before, they aren't interested in people, they are interested in power.
Now, unless the entire Massachusetts State Legislature is going to be thrown out on their ear next election or the people of the state have been up in arms for the past four years, it would be the most foolish thing people could do to vote him into a federal seat for Massachusetts. He is 'anti-people' and always votes in opposition of measures that have passed, except, for a very rare occasion. He isn't good for people.
In total he has about a 20% success rate. Of the following 40 or so legislative initiative he only voted successfully 8 times. And it isn't just that he voted successfully and well, it was issues and the bills that passed he opposed that are important. He is dangerous. He practices politics and not policy. That is a real of direction change for the people of Massachusetts. They don't care about themselves anymore? This is not suppose to be about politics, this is about having an effective legislator 'across the board' for the people of the state.
This isn't a game. People should not be toying with folks. He is. Definitely.
Budget, Spending and Taxes (click here) - He voted three times with measures that passed. That was three times out of 8 legislation issues. That is a 37.5 % success rate. People or politics?
