Is it time for Scott Brown to drop the GOP?

Welcome to the culinary part this is your host Jeff. 6172666868. So I hope all of you had a fantastic weekend at a nice weekend. Feel refreshed and recharged. Ready to go. So much to cover today. I don't know where to begin honestly I don't know where to begin there's so much news that happened over the weekend. As you know hurricane. I music looks like it miss Tampa Bay. Where the Republicans are holding their convention but it now has New Orleans in its cross hairs. This could be a major storm others saying Katrina like I don't think so but it may rival Katrina. But I have to tell you there is just no end. To the RNC. And how the liberal media are trying to politicize this and even normally conservative media. Are now looking to exploit the RNC. To drive divisions in wedges within the Republican Party. And in this morning's Boston Herald. Which by the way I think is a very good paper. I read it every day online. There is a a provocative column. By Kimberly Atkins. And -- -- or politics I'm sure she's a very nice woman. She writes well there's no question about it and the title is called come on Scott nobody likes a party Cooper. And in that piece. She points out what many people have been essentially pointing out for the last three or four day race where is Scott Brown. As the Republicans are all gathering and descending upon Tampa Bay. Regardless of hurricane Isaac as its drenched Tampa Bay is -- drenched in rain drenched in wins. Battered by winds battered by rain. Where is Scott Brown. Well Scott Brown will not be there today. He will not be there tomorrow when the RNC is officially kicked off. He won't even be here Wednesday. He's only gonna show up Thursday for just a few hours. When Mitt Romney is officially made the nominee of the Republican Party when he makes his acceptance speech. Otherwise Scott Brown. Has been keeping himself and the entire Republican Party at arm's length. He's very cool to Mitt Romney he's very cool to Paul Ryan. He's kept his distance from the Republican Party in fact last week Scott Brown wrote a scathing letter. To RNC chairman -- -- miss attacking the Republicans. For their struck what he calls strict positions on abortion. And of course she was one of the first people out of the gates the criticized Missouri congressman body against for his quote legitimate rape unquote remarks. And so with Kimberly Atkins argues. Is why don't we just make it official Scott. Why don't you just break from the Republican Party completely. Why don't you just run as an independent. Why even bother. Being with the Republican Party or having an. Scott Brown is a pro choice Republican. Scott Brown has said himself -- only votes for the Republicans and about 54%. Of the time I'm 54% of the issues. He's a very much a centrist northeastern. Liberal Republican. And Scioscia says what's the point of Scott Brown having the baggage. Of being an elephant of being a Republican. And very liberal democratic Massachusetts. And so Kimberly Atkins. Points out our column in today's Boston Herald you know what that's wishes them this thing. Just run as an independent do -- Joseph Lieberman did in Connecticut. And that would give Scott Brown she argues more legitimacy on some of these social issues like abortion. Where he claims to be very pro choice. Instead she says. His super -- -- the fund Republican candidates. He receives funds from the Republican Party. And that makes him a hypocrite in her view. Now I have to tell you. I completely disagree with Kimberly -- I think she's making a big mistake. I think her analysis is completely flawed and I'll tell you why why can parties not have winks. For example over the weekend Ron Paul says these people are not being represented enough that the RNC but there is a Ron Paul wing of the Republican Party. Now there's also there is a moderate northeastern wing of the Republican Party. Notice when it comes to the national press corps. For example they never call long pro life Democrats like the senator from Pennsylvania senator Casey for him to. Break his allegiance with the Democratic Party and become an independent. Notice -- only with Republicans. That they want them to run as independents. And what would happen in Massachusetts. Let's just say hypothetically. Scott Brown becomes an independent what what happened. We did strengthen Scott Brown. Would this make Scott Brown's election or reelection against Elizabeth Warren even more likely. No it would fragment the anti Democrat to vote in the anti liberal vote. The race with NB a three way race between a Republican Scott brown and Elizabeth Warren the Democrats are gonna go for Elizabeth Warren. So -- the anti Democrat vote the moderate conservative vote it'll be split. And this will guarantee Elizabeth Warren's victory in November in fact it would make Massachusetts literally a permanent one party state. So look don't get me wrong I disagree with Scott Brown on abortion. I'm a pro life Catholic. I disagree with Scott Brown frankly on a lot of issues he's not my kind of Republican. But Scott Brown. Is a key vote against obamacare. Scott Brown will vote for the spending cuts that we need to get our economic house in order Scott Brown. Is going to pass tax cuts for working and middle class families in other words. Scott Brown. Will help Republicans have 51 votes in the senate. So we can undo much of the damage of President Obama of the last three and a half years. That's why I think Scott Brown should stay on as a Republican. But instead Scott Brown is saying I'm not gonna go to the Republican Convention. I'm -- distance myself from Romney -- distance myself from Paul Ryan. He's blasting the Republican party's platform on abortion but he says women have Olympia small. And I'm gonna have Susan Collins -- -- fighting forming I don't wanna be there so we've been going. Now. And why blame Scott Brown honestly no they just the good television. He knows that and very liberal Massachusetts. You're not gonna get anywhere by hitching your start to Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan is just not. Politically feasible. So he's trying to run a very local race. And that's why he's beating Elizabeth Warren by five to six points he's way ahead. And so the question I have for you is a very simple one. Do you believe that Scott Brown should leave the Republican Party and Ron as an independent. Do you feel that Scott Brown. Represents your values in the -- Or do you think he'd do a better job of doing that if you was an independent. 6172666868. Is the number 6172666868. Mike thanks for holding your on the corner report. You know job like I respected it would what but it was -- -- all -- issue particularly now -- to a street date but -- well. But -- not get. The deadlocked on the Republican Party is to stop the carnage of the murderers and bought. That -- -- -- -- about platform and a couple weeks this guy is -- -- -- -- and see if it was any other guy got in the up and so why you have any it's got -- Bob in part let me tell you saw that he went along with those that spoke out he went about it by frank in the didactic political -- life. This guy is an -- and act. Absolutely he should get ready -- be independent. Democrat out. No Mike you're right he -- and -- Mike you're right he's a conservative Democrat he is your right. -- -- PDB to insure that we -- we abortion. Normally you're right I mean when I mean by conservative and all I mean Mike when I mean by conservative on the conservative to a UN nine I mean Monica blue dog Democrat that's what it really. Otherwise it. I'd but certainly kept. My belief is that. Anybody -- -- that conservative. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- But I believe if I'm. -- the -- like -- but you aren't they got not a conservative gap. Yes you're right you're right you're right thank you Mike -- you're right he's not a conservative Scott Brown is not a conservative. I said this about him in 2010 when he was elected I say he's a liberal Republican. Now the only question is do we want him out of the party. Kimberly Atkins says he should go I think from reading her column she wants him to go because she's pro choice. So she wants him to become an independent. I think that would play into the arms of the Democrats look. Look I don't like Scott Brown in terms of his political views I disagree with them on a lot of issues my point is this. I want to Obama care gone. I want to Obama gone. I want this these crazy spending policies that are bankrupting this country gone. That's the only reason why I say don't -- Scott Brown. Because if you -- Scott Brown people think about it. You think you're gonna get a conservative Republican from Massachusetts. You think you're gonna get a pro lifer like me or make you Mike or anybody else out there you're gonna get Elizabeth Warren. And what is that gonna do that's gonna get that's gonna set set back the abortion cause in this country so don't get me wrong look. On this fundamental moral principle let me be perfectly candid with you. If a man or woman cannot respect. The dignity of unborn babies cannot say the murder of unborn babies is wrong then to -- I don't think -- much you have you have no moral core. But that's not the issue we -- Scott Brown is not a conservative Republican. I mean who who in his right mind seriously -- in his right mind could not before the defense of marriage between a man and woman. Who can not in his right mind be for the defense of unborn innocent children but this is the people's republic of Massachusetts. This is not. This is not even a Virginia. This is not even Wisconsin we're not talking about a purple state rights -- let's go all in. And get a real conservative Republican -- basically have a choice okay this is Massachusetts Republican about. Either you out a liberal Democrat. Or you have a liberal Republican. That's the only choice you gonna have a Massachusetts realistic. So if you pick a liberal Republican. At least you can undo some of the damage of Obama if you go with Elizabeth Warren. Our young guys we're never gonna get control of the senate and no senate. You can't repeal anything Obama has passed Mary thanks for holding your on the corner report. Good morning. You know I wish that more Republicans in the senate like Scott Brown need -- moderates what we have right now are two parties broke caller -- It not been getting -- and it's so all it means that more people in the sense in the center. I think that we have about our government battered nation. Thanks Mary a look a lot of people feel like you I'll be very candid I disagree. I don't think American politics that's a cliche of the last one years. That our politics are overly polarized whereas our politics not been polarized. What you don't think it was -- Reagan vs Carter. You don't think it was polarized when Nixon took on the anti war left Nixon and McGovern you don't think it was polarized under FDR. You don't think it was polarize under Abraham Lincoln my don't want the war. Under Abraham Lincoln I could that is all the way back Jefferson. And and John Adams hated each other the federalists and the Jeffersonian. -- each other. So we've always been polarized politically. -- mean the question is this. Will the Republican Party BA Conservative Party a genuinely Conservative Party. I yes the Democrats have now become a Socialist Party they have been for forty years. So the only question is this now to advancing conservative agenda. How do you vote in a very liberal state. And I believe in the William F Buckley -- he was the founder of modern conservatism. You elect the most conservative candidate who can possibly win. Now Scott Brown is slightly more conservative than Elizabeth Warren. I mean obamacare is a classic example he would vote to repeal -- she wants to keep it Roger wants to expand. To me is not alone is why I would vote for Scott Brown not because I love Scott Brown. Not because I think Scott Brown is my ideal Republican. I'm looking at this I'm saying man. Hand do we have Obama care or do we repeal obamacare. I've lived under socialized medicine I lived with it in Canada believe me. It's the last thing -- ever wanted to do for yourself. For your parents or for your children Joseph thanks for holding you're on the corner report. Correct or quicker preparation and you'll please sure. That has just caught and you just elbit body. Yeah. I got a little bottle of my fellow conservative in my fellow veteran Mike. I'd spot spot rob pull off the greatest upset in the history amounts shall I promised her bid for years. By knocking ot -- an easy and turning it will Republicans -- The only way it was a threat -- that needle that's also all of about two or Republican both -- He called off it was like a miracle and now we've got guys like Mike. All. It -- network and what you call it Massachusetts. Scott -- would be distraught right. Like the conservative thinking won't so what. It is five conservative causes that we have a chance to maybe get a lot of those accomplishments and a spot for. I'll take a while five rabbit all of this water. You'll ever decide what are. These people -- at all and I think we're a children's. -- Gay marriage are in the country capitol Bob we opera ball liberal state in the country and some people a little bit why Ali it. -- think that's spot while is gonna be conservative. Any other. Joseph thank you so much YouTube hit the nail on the head by the look I'm telling you if Jeff corner ran in Massachusetts. I would be right on every issue and I would get 25% of the vote that's a fact you know why. Because you guys are living on a socialist republic. That's what you guys eleven and -- all other socialists the Kennedys the Democrats to completely take over that state it's a one party regime. The only guy that's managed to break it is Scott Brown. And I think that's why Kimberly at Kansas and -- or run as an independent -- run as an independent you should be an independent because not all split. The Republican vote in Massachusetts. And give the seat to the chief. Failed to the chief Elizabeth Warren Tom thanks for holding there on the corner report. Chad I agreed to politics I'm calling calling to hear from the financial farm about eighty miles north of camp I just wanted to comment on your first opening near. I -- light rain here but it was a late call to. To postpone because of the driving and I know. You're familiar with the traffic conditions in Washington and honest no fault I do understand that -- Audio listen we'll look I know I'm in a little bit arraigned on their in Florida everybody's packing but listen you're not gonna believe all of you. How the liberal media are now spinning the rain and the storm and Isaak believe -- or not you know what they're saying. God is shutting down the Republican Convention we will have that and so much more right after this break.
