Hes an R isnt he and the tea party people cheered big time when he won
Yeah, which disproves your claim on its face that the tea party is nothing but far right Republicans.
First of all, having an R next to his name makes him far right? Olympia Snowe is far right? Susan Collins is far right?
The tea partiers backed Brown because he ran on a platform of preventing the Federal government from taking over the health care industry and on supporting fiscal responsibility in Washington. Brown is fairly liberal when it comes to social issues. I've heard plenty of conservatives already refer to him as a moderate and when he voted for the jobs bill conservatives were already blasting him as a RINO.
If you think that makes him far right then you have to be out there in Hugo Chavez territory or you're just perpetually ignorant.
