			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>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 <a title="Mitt Romney Showed Scott Brown the Way to Victory" href="http://thecompetentconservative.com/2010/01/20/is-scott-brown-mitt-romneys-man/" target="_blank">Mitt Romney played a role in Scott Brown&#8217;s victory</a>.  What I didn&#8217;t have at the time of that earlier post is the video or quote from Senator Elect Scott Brown thanking Mitt Romney for &#8220;<em>being there from the beginning, and helped show us the way to victory</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://thecompetentconservative.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Mitt-and-Scott1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1840" title="Mitt-and-Scott" src="http://thecompetentconservative.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Mitt-and-Scott1-300x200.jpg" alt="Mitt Romney and Scott Brown 2012" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Here is the quote:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #333333;">&#8220;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 <strong>helped show us the way to victory &#8211; former Governor Mitt Romney</strong>.&#8221;</span></p></blockquote>
<p>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 &#8220;commenter&#8221; who goes by the name of &#8220;Flip Dixon&#8221;(it is a mystery to me that they haven&#8217;t banned her from their site, along with some of their registered contributors), and who&#8217;s personality and attitude parallel that of Keith &#8220;The Viper&#8221; olbermann&#8217;s, suggested that Mitt Romney was absent during the Scott Brown campaign because the people of Massachusetts don&#8217;t like him.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I would tell them that if they want to act like Democrats in how they treat their own, they can go join the Democrat&#8217;s site&#8217;s and spew their filth over there.  By the way, Alex Knepper has come a long ways.  Kudos to him!</p>
<p>All of us in the GOP need to quit breaking Reagan&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Here is the video of Brown&#8217;s victory speech.  About the 12:20 minute mark is when Brown thanks Mitt Romney for the help on his campaign:</p>
