Yeh, I am flip flopping. Nothing like a blog to highlight one's inherent humanity.
In 2004, fully aware of the disaster that Greenspan, Bernanke and a den of crooks on Wall Street and in Washington had locked and loaded for us economically, I wrote in Ron Paul for president. I could not vote for either of the supremely underwhelming mainstream choices. In 2008, I wrote him in again after John McCain - underwhelming in my view on his own - picked a crazy person for VP.
I am getting tired of protesting, and while Scott Brown did not impress me in the debate the other night - not going beyond the oft-argued bullet points on economics and the financial system, while Joe Kennedy spoke rationally and clearly - it is time for me to get with the mainstream and do what makes sense.
I have since listened more to Brown, and while I have still not heard a level of sophistication about what really needs to be done to empower the people against an out of control leviathan, I will vote for him because the alternative must be stopped if we can at all help it.
All week, we in Massachusetts have been subjected to a disgusting attack ad from Martha Coakley's vile and entrenched democrat machine while Scott refuses to go negative and presents himself as HIMSELF, with nothing to hide from. The contrast he presents to the animal he is running against is stunning.
Now, they say attack ads run because they work. Sad but true. But Scott Brown may just win by sticking to his message. MA residents: Get out there, vote for change and keep the bums out of the seat that they felt was pre-ordained up until now. Vote for Scott Brown if you are a hard working person who would rather see a larger portion your labors go toward supporting your family and your freedom as opposed to the worst, and most embedded rat's nest of political patronage in the country.
