Coming Together for the Good of America
You have to have a really tough skin to participate in politics. One day you are loved and the next day you might be a turn coat. Scott Brown knew this when he ran for senator from Massachusetts. In recent days he has been the darling of the loosely knit Tea Party group. That group is mostly a conservative, White, Anglo Saxon, Christian movement that has no specific leaders but has become the darling of American conservatives.
Conservative talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck have been delighted with the thought that Republicans can win in liberal states like Massachusetts.
Could it be that Scott Brown is a “Progressive Republican” as Beck suggests? Perhaps Brown is Republican in the mold of Everett Dirksen or Ben Franklin. Maybe Brown might lead a revolution to moderation and compromise. What will those fringe talk show hosts say when most of us support coming together for the good of America?
