Everyone's praising Scott Brown like hes gonna be the savior of the republicans. Whats this puppet going to do any different than the Bush admin did?

He will say NO, the Bush administration said YES.

I think he is an up and comer just like McDonnell. New faces for the GOP. Should be interesting to watch how they progress.

What makes Scott Brown run?<br /> The Massachusetts Republican who turned conventional wisdom on its head by winning Ted Kennedy's former Senate seat is part everyman, part mystery. - Los Angeles Times

I love that he loves America enough to buy GMC, I hate the fact the dipshit will stop the very thing, healthcare, Massachusetts already has.

I welcome new faces in the GOP. Hopefully, faces that are willing to compromise, give a little to get a little and work to do what is right for all.

It is unlikely to happen, but we can always hope

There they all were on the Sunday-morning chatfests, droning on about the anger of the American people as shown by the election in Massachusetts of a pickup truck to the U.S. Senate — ever ready, as pundits are, to take one good story and extrude it into a national trend portentous with meaning. One could draw other conclusions from that election — the importance of actually campaigning, for one, and not vacationing in the Caribbean — but OK, maybe anger was a factor. Nobody looks on the marathon health care debate as a noble chapter in political science. No legislator is going to have a hospital named for him in honor of his heroic work. (Maybe a parking ramp.)

Meanwhile, one-sixth of our population is without health insurance, and Republicans have decided that defeating Barack Obama is more important than the welfare of 50 million Americans: Let them die and decrease the surplus population and be quick about it. That's the long and the short of it. And now they have won a Senate seat in a Democratic stronghold and feel revived and are smelling the bacon and looking forward to November.

The midterms (this coming November) will require Republicans to decide who they are. Are they interested in unemployment, health care, banking regulation and the long-term health of the planet? Or are they just angry that a noncitizen and practicing Muslim got elected president so he could send death panels around to enslave us in the chains of Marxism?

Running on anger is not such a great idea. For one thing, it's hard to sustain if, God forbid, the economy springs back. And as Republicans well know, government does not change when you yell at it. The world doesn't run on slogans, it runs on paperwork. Federal agencies are full of old Reaganauts and Bushites in civil service positions who went to Washington with high ideals of making government smaller, but government can't get smaller, there being so many of them, and these conservative ideologues gradually turn into weary old bureaucrats with dandruff on their shoulders, same as the liberal ones.

Populism is a stiff liquor (Power to the People, Down with the Meritocracy, Into the Tumbrils with the Elitist Media), but in the end it fails to give you useful directions. In North Dakota, in the '30s, the populist Nonpartisan League took power and put their folks into state jobs, including running the insane asylum in Jamestown, and the poor inmates suffered at the hands of the People. So did universities suffer at the hands of students who took over campuses back in the day. It was fulfilling to sit in the president's big armchair and smoke his cigars, but then what? They had no idea what.

Be as anti-elitist as you like, but when the surgeon comes in to open up your skull to see what that big dark spot on the CT scan was, you don't want him to be wearing a humorous T-shirt ("Hey, it is brain surgery") and eating Jujubes. You board the DC-10 to London and you'd like to see a lean guy with a military-style crew cut, an overachiever, not a guy with hair in his eyes who is really, really into his own music. Your life may depend on an arrogant elitist who happens to know what he's doing

One Senator does not give the Republicans in Congress a super-majority. Why can't they count?

Scott Brown had the brains to know that he was running for the seat of the people, and not Ted Kennedy's seat that the liberal idiots felt they were entitled too.

Scott Brown gets it. Too bad the same can NEVER be said about liberal idiots!

If the people didn't like Teddy, why wasn't he voted out, i think it more like Brown won because the people didn't like his opponent.

Just curious, would Republcians vote a nude centerfold into office if it were a woman?

Of course.

They already elected a beauty pageant queen. It's only one step away from a nude model.
