The behind the scenes meaning of the Scott Brown victory

By Steve Deace,WHO News Radio

Brown is far from the perfect candidate,but his victory still shows that people are fed up with Obama

If you’re a frequent listener to my show you know the war between grassroots conservatives and the Republican Party Establishment continues with no end in sight,although a temporary detente appears to have been reached in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts of all places.

The U.S. Senate race there has brought large portions of both sides together with one common goal —the chance to end the Democrats’flibuster proof majority.

Would this actually put a stop to Obamacare as Barney Frank predicted? I have my doubts the Democrats would allow the train to be stopped after its already left the station. However,the election of Massachusetts State Senator (and former nude model) Scott Brown could very well put an end to future government power-grabs like,say,cap-and-trade for example.

But is the well-spoken and easy-on-the-eyes Brown a true champion of this alleged conservative revolt against the Left? The straight answer is no,and not by a long-shot.

For example,as a state senator he voted for the RomneyCare bill in Massachusetts that is the forerunner to the Obamacare being debated in the Congress as we speak. A big government boondoggle that has been routinely trashed by most experts and conservatives as a complete and total disaster for the commonwealth,and it doesn’t poll well with the people of Massachusetts to boot.

So here we have a guy who once voted for a big government takeover of healthcare that subsidized abortions now running as someone opposed to big government healthcare that will subsidize abortions.

Hey,it’s Massachusetts,where flip-flopping politicians grow like weeds. What did you expect?

I wouldn't judge anyone by their pre-Obama beliefs. It is very easy to pontificate and rally behind abstract ideas and ideals. Post-Obama beliefs are not abstract. I would hazard a guess that there are millions of pre-Obama liberals who are now seeing a new left that is so far beyond anything that they ever envisioned that they have had an awakening. No one expected his agenda to be so socialistic and anti-American. Obama and his radical appointees has made most Americans re-examine the Constitution,liberty and their role in government. They exercised that role in Massachusettes to tell those in power that WE THE PEOPLE have the true power in America. I'll wait to judge Scott Brown after he arrives in D.C. and begins to represent his constituents,the job that all in D.C. should be doing.
