This post is a very welcome addition to the post I did a few days ago regarding the article from The Daily Beast detailing how Mitt Romney played a role in Scott Brown’s victory. What I didn’t have at the time of that earlier post is the video or quote from Senator Elect Scott Brown thanking Mitt Romney for “being there from the beginning, and helped show us the way to victory.”
Here is the quote:
“I’m grateful to all those from across Massachusetts who came through for me even when I was a long shot. I especially thank a friend who was there with encouragement from the very beginning, and helped show us the way to victory – former Governor Mitt Romney.”
This is of course very contrary to what some of the wanna-be political analysts over at Race42012 have spouted out about how Romney was absent during the whole Scott Brown process. One particular “commenter” who goes by the name of “Flip Dixon”(it is a mystery to me that they haven’t banned her from their site, along with some of their registered contributors), and who’s personality and attitude parallel that of Keith “The Viper” olbermann’s, suggested that Mitt Romney was absent during the Scott Brown campaign because the people of Massachusetts don’t like him.
If anyone on Race42012 is reading this, BAN THAT KEITH OLBERMANN WANNA-BE FROM YOUR SITE! That is, of course, if you desire to avoid becoming a riff-raff site like Free Republic has become. You keep letting these nasty characters spew their ignorance on your site, the less credible you will become. I will praise you for having writers such as Nate Gunderson, Mark B. Lowe, Kristopher Lorelli, and others who avoid negativity when it comes to other GOP candidates.
I would tell them that if they want to act like Democrats in how they treat their own, they can go join the Democrat’s site’s and spew their filth over there. By the way, Alex Knepper has come a long ways. Kudos to him!
All of us in the GOP need to quit breaking Reagan’s 11th commandment of talking bad about other GOP candidates. I have not done the best at that, as I do get defensive when Mitt is unjustly attack, but I will work on it.
Here is the video of Brown’s victory speech. About the 12:20 minute mark is when Brown thanks Mitt Romney for the help on his campaign:
