LOL Of The Week: No Country For Moderate Republicans

In her campaign against Senator Scott Brown (R-MA), Senator-elect Elizabeth Warren made a beautiful case for why a vote for Brown is a vote for Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK), author of The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future.

Now that Senator John Kerry (D-MA) is likely to become secretary of state, Republicans are hoping Scott Brown will run again. Brown’s win was the first in the Tea Party cycle of 2010 that took place in the midst of the worst economy any election has taken place in for over 50 years. He defeated a weak candidate with support flowing in from all over the country.

Brown isn’t pro-life or as anti-science as Inhofe. But he’s signed the Norquist pledge and voted to prevent up-or-down votes on at least 40 bills that had majority support in the Senate.

The point is, you can’t expect one Republican to buck the system when the system is designed to destroy him if he does.

So vote Republican! They did something good at least once, 150 years ago.
