What can Brown do for you
How do them tea bags taste?
I’m happy Brown won for two reasons: 1) I don’t like either party with filibuster proof majorities. And 2) it could kill the health insurance bill (it would be ironic if Ted Kennedy’s death also killed the healthcare bill).
Also, I hope this sends a message to the folks with Ds after their names that they shouldn’t go ramming things down our throats because they can. I doubt it. And I’m sure the Republicans will get exactly the wrong message from this too.
I dunno about all the folks calling it a revolution. I think it’s more dissatisfaction with the current crop of boneheads running the .gov. After all, Brown is a north east Republican and probably more akin to Romney than anyone else. And Romney sucks.
Brown on guns:
Gun issues
I support the Second Amendment and believe that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms as a basic constitutional liberty. I support safe and responsible gun ownership.
OnTheIssues notes:
Allow citizens to carry concealed guns.
Require manufacturers to provide child-safety locks on guns.
Require background checks on gun sales between private citizens at gun shows.
Require a license for gun possession.
About as pro-gun as you can get in MA, I suppose.

Being a MD resident with Battered Gunowner Syndrome, Brown’s stance on CCW would be an improvement for us. Here’s hoping he can help pass nationwide CCW reciprocity.

Yeah, Lexington and Concord it ain’t…but I will take last night as a step in the right direction.

“… (it would be ironic if Ted Kennedy’s death also killed the healthcare bill).”
I don’t know about ironic; I would look at it more as “icing on the cake”.
Re: license for gun possession. What Bobby said.

The revolution is not the conservative policies of Brown, but the fact that he won not by the efforts of the Republican political machine but on the backs and with the efforts of the “teabaggers” that the MSM and the liberals tried so hard to dismiss and marginalize last year.It is a wake up call to all serving politicians that if it can happen there it can happen anywhere so you better wake up and start paying attention.

Just to be clear, all those shitty laws are in fact in effect here in Mass Right now.
With a little luck most of them will die to post-Heller lawsuits.
