WATCH PENNSYLVANIA ON MAY 18TH

This coming Tuesday, May 18th, there are primary elections in Arkansas, Kentucky, Oregon and Pennsylvania. So far in May a Republican Senator and a Democrat congressman have been booted out by their own party's voters. This could happen again in Pennsylvania if the Democrats reject turn-coat former Republican Senator Arlene Specter who is now trailing a liberal congressman. The same day there is a special election for the seat of deceased congressman John Murtha. Despite the fact that the district is 2 to 1 Democrat the polls show that Republican businessman Tim Burns could win the seat. See latest polls

GING-PAC did not endorse Scott Brown

Government Is Not God – PAC (GING-PAC) did not endorse Scott Brown for Senate in the Massachusetts special election. GING-PAC gave no financial support to Scott Brown either directly or indirectly.

There has been a lot of enthusiasm for Scott Brown from conservatives and some pro-life leaders have stated that his election saved the nation from the pro-abortion “health care reform” plans of President Barack Obama. Social conservatives should not be celebrating because Senator-elect Scott Brown by his own admission is “pro-choice,” not “pro-life.”  During his campaign he avoided the questionnaires of social conservative and pro-life groups. His campaign did not respond to calls from GING-PAC and Brown did not reply to the GING-PAC questionnaire which asks many sharp questions on pro-family issues such as abortion and homosexual marriage.

GING-PAC is the nation’s oldest social conservative political action committee and does a not support any candidate who believes Roe v. Wade should be the law of the land.

While conservatives were still shouting for joy after his election to the Senate, Scott Brown flew to Washington, DC where he told Republican leaders that the party could not count on his vote in several areas including on the abortion issue.

Scott Brown’s victory came during a special election and he has only two years remaining in the Senate seat that was vacated by the death of Senator Joe Kennedy. That means he literally must start running for reelection now and he will probably move to the left on social issues despite the fact that he ran as a “conservative.” Scott Brown may be another Arlene Specter who will vote with the party most of the time, but neither the party nor conservatives will be able to count on him as a full time participant in the conservative movement.
