U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, whose stunning victory in January was fueled in part by Tea Party anger, has snubbed the fiery grassroots group and declined its invitation to join Sarah Palin Wednesday at a massive rally on Boston Common, the Herald has learned. Brown’s decision to skip the first big rally in Boston by the group whose members are credited with helping him win election has some experts saying he’s tossed the Tea Party overboard, as he prepares for re-election in 2012. “He wants to mainstream himself before the election,” said Larry Sabato, a University of Virginia political scientist. Brown, who took heat for the alleged misbehavior of some of his supporters at campaign events, may be trying to distance himself from what could be a volatile event, said political analyst Lou DiNatale. “You’re worried at a rally that there’s a sign, a statement, an incident that’s certifiably cuckoo occurs,” DiNatale said. “To win re-election, Scott Brown floating to the right is a serious problem. “And showing up at a Sarah Palin, Tea Party event is not the way to the middle.” But Brown spokesman Felix Browne said the senator applauds the “energy and enthusiasm” Palin and the Tea Party bring to GOP politics. The Senate is in session and Brown can’t get away, Browne said. “He’ll be doing the job he was elected to do - serving the people of the commonwealth of Massachusetts,” Browne said. Sabato said it’s “possible” Brown can’t get away but noted senators do travel to their districts during the weeks-long stretches that the Senate is in session. “It’s not like they’re voting constantly,” Sabato said. Tea Party members said they don’t feel slighted. “It’s not about paying favors back,” said Mark Williams, chairman of the Tea Party Express, which organized the rally and invited Brown. “I’d happily forgo (having him) if he’s truly doing the job of the people. “He has half a century of Kennedy damage to compensate for, after all.” Barbara Klain, head of the Greater Lowell Tea Party, said Brown also turned down an invite to speak at their April 15 rally in downtown Lowell. “He said he was going to be in Washington,” Klain said. “He needs to be doing his job.” It’s a view Sabato suggested was willfully naive. “It’s naive, but they’re cutting him some slack,” Sabato said. “But he’s their hero, more so than Sarah Palin - they got him elected.” This won’t be the first time Brown has appeared to distance himself from Palin. Shortly after his triumph, Brown denied receiving a congratulatory call from Palin, only to remember the exchange when pressed. Palin is a possible 2012 presidential rival to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, whose aides were the architects of Brown’s Senate win.

Bring it on, my friend, I'm all for it!! In fact, it's long overdue. However, I do see signs fer optimism...fer instance, this wholesale abandonment of Network News as a reliable source fer information and entertainment is very heartening. And have y'all seen how AWFUL/PATHETIC CNN & MSNBC's numbers have been since Barry Hussein moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.? WeThePeople are getting better at discerning when the EffeteElitists in the State-Run Media are BLATANTLY--and shamelessly, apparently--LYING to US and trying to tell us that WeThePeople are too STOOOPID to live happy lives without surrendering evermore POWER and CONTROL to the Marxist RATS!! That's a very good thing...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, Good fer you...I would NEVER accept a paycheck as a Federal BureaucRAT!! There are a lotta folks who think its their RIGHT to force WeThePeople to subsidize their arrogant laziness, though...MUD

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. "You've got to put right and wrong above legal and illegal. Because when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty; and it is not rebellion at all, it is submission to the higher law that our government is in rebellion to. We're not the rebels, they're the rebels."
Gotta LOVE it...MUD BTW...gonna be a RAT-bloodbath in November...heh heh heh!!

Now THIS would be a story.

Nice performance of Janis's classic, Mike...I'm doing swell, how about you? Been a beautiful day, sunny and in the 60's, with a nice breeze. I just spent almost two hours putting together my new BBQ, but now I'm too tired to go to the grocery store and buy the friggin' steaks, so I reckon I'll haveta wait until tomorrow to break it in. Let me know when yer gonna be on the East Coast, dude...the MudCave is open fer ROCKIN'...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, I can understand that thinking vis a vis TaxachusettsMitt, but I don't think it applies to Gov. Palin, who has been doing a relatively decent job of making herself out to be the AntiObama. How do you figger Palin would continue and expand upon the RAT-Messiah's Marxist Agenda? Palin fer POTUS 2020...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, You'd more profitably spend your time teaching your dog to play Mozart concertos than waste your time with Pudboy Phlegm. His level of stupid is some sort of diamond-titanium-polymer alloy and it's absolutely impervious. I keep hoping to hear that the dumb fuck has died in some sort of wonderfully ironic way, perhaps being garrotted with a guitar string by a fellow "Syntaur" after another session of song-rape. There's news the whole country can use. He might be the only person I hold in higher contempt and lower esteem than the Yuktard.

Mud's just a bad performance artist like McCain_Rocks, and need not be taken more seriously than that. If you see the pics he posts and consider them along with his *ahem* "body of work" as demonstrated with his song parodies, that's all the data you need. I think Mrs. Mud, if there ever was such, departed the cave a while back and he's just going to the tea parties in hopes of 'polling the electorate'. Maybe he'll find Stupid Woman #2 who thinks he's a real patriot. I hope to god that Ex #1 got the kids. It's difficult enough to reconcile the fact that Mud has procreated with the idea of a sentient, benevolent god, but allowing him any input in the actual raising of any of his spawn, already with pretty long Darwinian odds, is just cruel.

Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, Is that supposed to bother me? So, we get to change one batch of bankster controlled crooks for another? And this will improve things in what way? All we get is a different set of crooks pushing a different facet of the control and enslavement agenda. So, we get fewer "social programs" to debilitate a once proud and self supporting people and more needless wars to send their sons and daughters off to die for the greater glory of Exxon? More loot from the Treasury for Goldmine Sacks? As long as you remain trapped in the so-called two party false paradigm you are just another schmuck being played for a sucker. So, not only does your taunt not bother me it is absolutely irrelevant to what is going on in the real world. Have a nice day.
