No Excuse for Ignorance!





Once upon a time, a sexy centerfold with a pickup truck with a lack luster Beacon Hill resume visited Middleboro and voters genuflected. 




Because the Massachusetts Democratic Party promoted a losing candidate as a reward for her service.....the Centerfold was initially elected.....



...the Koch Sock Puppet was then defeated by a qualified woman.... 


....forcing him to Carpetbag in New Hampshire where Scooter Brown lost against another woman with an informed electorate. 

Scooter may have created a record of losing against 2 women! 
Maybe that's why Fox News = Fake News = CULT hired him....


When I encountered LOCAL REPUBLICANS who had supported Scooter Brown, I asked: 
'Did you know he voted for this....?' 
'Did you know he voted against this....?' 

The answer was invariably NO! 

Scooter Brown's votes differed from his phony campaign rhetoric.
Scooter Brown is a Koch Sock Puppet! 



There is simply NO EXCUSE for ignorance!
