Here's the swearing in and his news conference after.

I wondered about that, but that's what was initially posted. Good second video, too!

I think you failed to acknowledge what I said about his position on taxes, spending, debt, deficits, etc, etc.
Did you have a Chris Mathews moment and get a tingle that ran down your leg?Your post is a good example of the shallowness of a lot of voters,you look with your eyes and fall for the party line.What {R} says he is not for lower taxes,less spending, and debt reduction?
If he is such a staunch conservative as you say why does he support the Romney HC is Mass?The same plan that Obama says he liked,and the HC plan being crafted now has some of the same provisions.But of course when it comes form {R}s it is ok but if it is from the {D}s it is socialist.
Lets see what new ideas he has if any? before we claim him to be the next real deal.

Three things Brown has stopped in its tracks: this horrible "health care" bill. Cap & trade with its 2k added to every electric bill in the country. So-called "immigration reform" that would make legal at least 12 to 20 million people from the third world & with family reunification bring in another 30 million family members. I'll take that for now, and worry about how conservative he is down the line.

We do not know how he is going to vote that is why it is silly to make this guy out to be the second coming of Reagan.If you recall he said that campaign rhetoric was over and he supports HC reform.How do we know that if the {D}s tweaked the bill he would jump on board?He has no problem with the fine for those who do not buy insurance,the {D}s stole that from the Romney play book that he supports.
He has been on the cap and trade bandwagon before and jumped off,how do we know if he will change his mind?or was that rhetoric to dupe naive {R}s.?
I hope I am wrong,I will give him a chance and ignore his {R} obnoxious talking points and look at his voting record.That is where the rubber meets the road,not on how good looking he is or what {R} BS he spews.

My hope is he helps stall these 3 issues so that they are not passed this year, and we get real conservaties elected in November. To put it this way: I feel much better being where we are today than where we were before he was elected. He's not so much the answer as he was the voice of an enraged nation. The fight goes on.

Why would you question their critical thinking skills because of that? It takes guts to pose or perform nude. I admire people who are confident enough to do that.

What I DIDN'T say is that his hotness is qualification for high office. That's what you implied - that his hotness and down to earth style got my approval.

I've always said, when the republicans divest themselves of that image, they will win more elections.
It depends on the constituency of the candidate. In Mass, a fiscal conservative/social moderate won - he represents the people.

In states Kansas, Nebraska, Georgia - a socially liberal candidate would have no chance.

We saw what happened when the Left's ideal of a good republican was on the ballot - McCain lost.
