I wasted my vote on this self-centered bum. He came out as the great “reformer”, upsetting the Kennedy legacy and promising to support conservative/tea party concerns: so what has any of his childhood personal problems have to do with the atate of the economy, the national debt and issues of greater importance to us citizens of this country.
All he is doing is pushing a book about his life, like we really need this crap, another lying, second-rate politician playing the sympathy card to make a few bucks just because he managed to pull off an unexpected electoral victory in the Marxist Republic of Kennedy/Massachusetts.
If the truth be told, he didn’t so much as win an election as his opponent losing the same election, for acting like it was a Democratic Party BIRTHRIGHT TO REPLACE TEDDY KENNEDY. She ran an arrogant campaign and was so confident of victory, that she took a tropical vacation in the dead of Winter, just before the polls opened.
Brown is a ONE TERM WONDER, A DEFINITE DISAPPOINTMENT AND HE WILL BE HISTORY COME 2012; HOPE IS BOOK ENDS UP ON THE $1.98 REMAND TABLE, WHERE IT UNDOUBTEDLY BELONGS.
