If nom. for SecVA, I will welcome her support, passion and help to serve our Vets. #truce.

DADT repeal complete, Scott Brown receives gay award


September 21, 2011

-snip-

Despite the award and his vote on DADT, Brown is unlikely to receive much in the way of support from gay rights organizations in his election next year. The Massachusetts Democratic Party, in response to the speech, held a press conference reminding people that Scott Brown has “been a staunch opponent of equal marriage, he is opposed to the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. When he was in the state Legislature, he voted three times for a constitutional amendment to ban equal marriage and opposed funds for the commonwealth’s commission on gay and lesbian youth.”

1. Is this really support, or the wish to vanquish a potential rival. How soon she forgets. n/t

[yallerdawg]

2. Trump 1000.

Elizabeth Warren 1.

Well, it's a start!

[bravenak]

3. Better him than her crazy ass

She was not bad as governor compared to Parnell, so she is not really half as stupid as she pretends to be. She acts dumb because republican boys like it. I met her a few times. Good mom, nice kids, nice in person, a bit too introverted to have so much public attention. It drives her nutso

[turbinetree]

4. I don't know..................................

They both are pretty despicable

[mac56]

5. Given the alternative...

yeah, I guess.

[mac56]

6. Poisoning the well, maybe?

Pretty clever!

[Squinch]

7. Ah! That makes sense. Though what would be the benefit of Palin with a rein of power?

Is Warren on the "hope they fail spectacularly" train? I wasn't on it before, but now there's no other thing to hope for.

8. That would remove him from the 2018 election

that she would be running in (unless he suddenly resigned that post - assuming he even got it).

[RAFisher]

10. I think he's a New Hampshirite now. He gave up on running in Massachusetts.

Maybe he'll move to Maine next. They voted for Le Page so anything is possible lol.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. I expect he is an opportunist and will continue to shop around

New England for a place to be relevant.

[MBS]

9. Oh, tell me this isn't true, Sen. Warren.

Scott Brown has NO qualifications for this job.
(Needless to say, neither does Sarah Palin.)
