"Teddy's Rightful Heir" what a crock of BS!
We the "Great Unwashed, feed-up" and unenrolled sent Brown to DC
to send a message to Beacon Hill and both sides of the aisle in Washington
that "We the People" are feed-up, angry as hell and not going to take the
fuzzy end of the stick constantly being offered by our elected LeaKers!
Brown has done a good job, NOT FANTASITC but much better then average!
I have urged him to abandon the gop to be a INDEPENDENT or UNENROLLED
Representative of "We the People" but he has yet to feel a need. Can and would
is my feeling. I feel betrayed by his backing water on DADT but respect his political
advice and know he will do much better when the fight is closer!
