Scott Brown Survey

[YankeyMCC]

Let him know what your priority issue is:

I'm hoping enough people other than Tea Party lock step political followers will respond and skew his results towards something approximating what most people in Mass really think is important.

Of course the area are broad so it may be pretty worthless anyway, but I have to keep thinking the more he hears from EVERYONE the better the message.

2. I am still trying to figure out . . .

how and why this shallow nobody got elected? I mean what IS this about a barn jacket and a pick-up truck? After all is said and done, it is a shame that he now occupies the former seat of one of our country's greatest statesmen, Edward Moore Kennedy. And, no, I wouldn't respond to his online so-called questionnaire! Sheesh. Why give him a means for appearing to "be in touch" w/ Massachusetts voters? I can hardly wait for HIS election . . . to vote him the hell out of office!

3. Like it or not he did get elected

to not talk to an elected official because you don't like them or because of your anger or misunderstanding of the people who did vote for him isn't going to get anything done.

If all he hears from are people who voted for him in the first place he will just keep going down the wrong path and use those skewed results as reason.

4. thx for ur response . . .

however, YankeyMCC, I truly hope he goes down the wrong path and makes loud sounds while doing so. In that way, he's an easy target to dump come next election for his seat. Again, I certainly will not facilitate his learning curve by responding to him in any way, including his questionnaire.

6. So it's better to let our government fail

than to engage as best we can with the people we must?

I remember as a child leaving the game because others would not play the way I thought they should play.

7. You do not give me a reason why I should tell him anything.

I don't buy into the 'make your voice heard' scam. Why should I tell him what I think 'he is doing right' or 'which issues are important' to me. This is simply free intelligence/information for his campaign and the republican party.

I prefer to let them figure things out on their own (and I don't think he has the cranial capacity to do that which is one reason they are soliciting data) while I try to ensure that he gets elected out of office next election cycle.

8. Hard to imagine a more worthless list. All it will do is tell him where to focus his messaging

for 2012. For the rest, all he needs is to keep the tea party happy to let the money in while casting a few votes where he can show his bi-partisan spirit.

Who does not care about jobs, for example, or healthcare. This said, what reforms does he want to do? He could work on it for a terrible results?

9. Interesting guy that Scott Brown

Danroy Henry gets killed by the police near Pace University and he uses his media of choice, sports radio, to demand a full investigation of the police to get to the bottom of this shooting. And he is right about that. But he refuses to take back his endorsement of Mass. Rep. Jeff Perry, the police officer who was present at an illegal search and sexual assault of a 14 year old teen age girl and is running for State Rep.. And lied about it in his police report.

10. This survey is bullshit.

There's no option for, "Getting rid of Scott Brown."

11. Ok

I disagree with Senator Brown's politics and dislike his positions and actions in general.

For that matter I disliked at least one position of Senator Ted Kennedy, and Senator Kerry and Governor Patrick don't alway make choices to my liking. Just a heck of a lot more often than Sen Brown and other of his party.

The reality is he is in office, duly elected by my fellow citizens, I'm befuddled and frustrated by how my neighbors, friends and family could have chosen him as the best choice.

I hope I'm not so arrogant to take my dislike for Senator Brown and my lack of insight to the choice of my fellow citizens to ignore and try to act as if the reality that I'd rather not be true doesn't exist and not so arrogant to think my lack of understanding others means that they must be wrong in all thing.

I hoped that the discussions here were about doing something, engaging in politics beyond just getting democrats elected, not that I don't fully support that.

It seems to me that to disengage and simply block efforts at communication is not going to get anything done.

Most likely the survey wouldn't do much but then again if he suddenly got a flood of 'environment' answers maybe, just maybe it would give him cause of concern, that he's not understanding the people he needs to get votes from, if not action.

I haven't been very involved in campaigns in recent years but I do expect to get more involved again for the senate race, in the mean time I thought it still best to at least try to engage and move things with my voice in the direction I want my government to go. It's all I can do at this point.

I apologize for upsetting people with this approach.
