that the smack down of the Brown Brigade is coming from the Berkshire Brigades by a man named Hillman….the same surname (different guy!) that Mitt gave the LG nod to for the Healey-Hillman GOP ticket over Scott Brown. Whilst the Brown Brigade uses the same losing tactics as Healey-Hillman did by focusing their respective campaigns on tangential topics that even the polls tell them people don’t care about and are annoyed at the obsessive repetition…..e.g. Orange jump suits; nasty ads – darkened car garages; God-awful 6th grade tax-o-meters; lies and baseless attacks.
Is there a 1/2 a brain anywhere in the MA GOP machine?
And, why is what’s his name……Winslow so quiet these days???
Cute poster. But I would not describe any of those positions–to the extent that bumper sticker hyper-simplifications can even be called positions– to be particularly extreme.

The current GOP in Washington is as far to the right as any party has been in this country since the 1920s. All of the positions on the poster are positions espoused by that GOP and supported by Scott Brown. The same Scott Brown who insists he’s a paragon of bipartisan independence.
I take it the poster is targeted at voters who don’t like the national GOP but have been thinking Scott Brown is somehow different from that. When you get to the big issues, he’s not.

… The point is that Scott Brown doesn’t hold to his own moderate positions. All things being equal, I’m sure that Scott Brown would be a moderate. But all things are not equal and Scott Brown does nothing to bring them into closer equality: The point is he is NOT A MODERATING INFLUENCE and instead is INFLUENCED by extremists… So what good is a moderate position if you let yourself be run over by extremists?
Brown’ll lay down at the feet of the demonstrated extremists at the expense of the positions he’d take in the absence their… erm… ‘guidance’. So either his positions aren’t truly heartfelt and are merely gamesmanship and positioning… or he’s just got no balls… or both. Either way, Scott Brown is inextricably bound to the extremists.

I smell something in the silence.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people….same losing tactics, year-in and year-out.
As a friend recently wrote, “Being a Republican is no longer about membership in a political party, it is a mental health condition.”
and you are right to worry about Winslow and others… though Winslow did stick his nose in here the other day and got it promptly tweaked.
The Senate will stay in Republican control?
I missed that.
BTW, I’m not the one who made this ad!
The senate is controlled by the tyranny of the minority, is it not?
but this election unfortunately won’t change that
The “stay in Republican control” error has been fixed. My bad.
cuz it FEELS like that at times, doesn’t it…

So maybe the slogan ought to read:
Scott Brown He’s for US, if THEY let him…
