The Hypocrisy of the Brown 2012 bandwagon

[deacon blues]

As far as the pictures are concerned, poor choice for a 20-something back in 1982. I would hate to be judged by some snapshots of my life forever recording poor choices and actions for the world to see. Stupid choice. What is the rest of his track record? Is there a steady stream of poor choices and unwise decisions? Did he associate with very extreme individuals throughout his life and claim certain people to be his mentors and close associates that had a track record of racism, terrorism, socialism, corrupt politics and anti-American rhetoric and actions? Then he's not worthy of my vote. But if he has served in the National Guard for 30 years, has a rank of Lt. Colonel, received the Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service in homeland security shortly after the 9/11 attacks, opposes a proposed multi-billion dollar tax on banks and prescribing bank executive compensation, opposed to higher taxes, especially in the midst of a severe recession on the grounds that the tax would likely be passed onto consumers in the form of higher service and ATM fees, has military experience that gives him a wider perspective on national security issues, has received the "Public Servant of the Year" Award from the United Chamber of Commerce for his leadership in reforming the state's sex offender laws and protecting the rights of victims, he has also been recognized by the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) for his work in creating an environment that encourages job growth and expansion in Massachusetts. I'd vote for that guy even if he made some stupid decision in college. The track record sells itself. At least for some.
