Scott Brown

Is running for the "Kennedy Seat" or at least that is what the news media in Massachusetts thinks. And that is the hurdle he faces: MassHole Democrats think that there is some entitlement to the seat for the candidate put forward by the Party (similar to the "Party" in Soviet times). Martha Croakem agrees.

Scott Brown, however reminds us that the seat belongs to the People of the Commonwealth, and it is the People that get to chose who gets to be seated in it, not the Democratic Party.

Similarly, Scott Brown ran a TV spot yesterday using the image of JFK. Croakem was aghast, think that it was misleading and irreverent to use JFK's image in an ad for a Republican -- a blatant attempt to steal some Kennedy glory for himself (same age-ish and military background as JFK, also good looking). "I mean, JFK was a Democrat." Here is some delicious irony: the clip showed JFK saying that he advocates an "across the board cut in income taxes to stimulate employment." Precisely what Scott Brown advocates and precisely what the Democratic Party does not want.

Brown, in an interview with TV after the ad ran, points out that the Democratic Party has apparently come VERY far from the roots and beliefs of a JFK Democrat. The meaning being, JFK would be a fiscally conservative Republican today, at least in this regard -- and perhaps many others. Croakem was not convinced....

I like Scott Brown.
