Sen. Brown denounces Romney comments
The Hill ^ | September 18, 2012 | Alexander Jaffe

Posted on 09/18/2012 2:58:34 PM PDT by Uncle Chip

Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) came out in opposition to Mitt Romney's controversial remarks on the "47 percent."

Brown, who has been distancing himself from elements of the Republican Party, joins GOP Senate candidate in Connecticut Linda McMahon in coming out against the statements.

"That’s not the way I view the world. As someone who grew up in tough circumstances, I know that being on public assistance is not a spot that anyone wants to be in. Too many people today who want to work are being forced into public assistance for lack of jobs," he said in an email to The Hill.

Brown said that the large volume of Americans receiving public assistance and the growth in the food stamp program are part of the reasons he's running for Senate, as Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren's policies would lead to hundreds of thousands of lost jobs.

How cool it`d be to edit Obama into the video sequence in lieu of that woman.

-— Brown is a moron, and also and idiot——

Pretty much true, but he’s lightyears ahead of the communist fake Indian princess. I live in MA. Please don’t stick me with Lizzy.

I did include that in the snippet but it apparently did not smoothe things over in RINO Land.

There isn’t just one culture of conservatism spread across the United States. A Georgian conservative could not win in a Northeast state and a Massachusetts conservative could not win in the southern states.

That’s just the way it is.

The PhonyCon Liberals cheer on guys like Scott Brown....and attack good conservatives like Todd Akin.

The “We need Brown because Mass. is so liberal” is nonsense

F*** you, Scott. You’re a RINO like McCain. We’d be better putting a brick up against Warren than you.

I was astounded after 9/11 to find out Chris Wallace didn’t even know who Nostradamus was...

I’m equally astounded that a “senator” doesn’t know what the Cloward/Piven Strategy is.

IDIOTS!

This sucks, but Brown has to do it if he wants to hold his job. I MA you probably have 47% of the takers plus at least half of the 53% that probably sympathize with the 47%

Scott needs to just make that change over to Democrat and he will feel better about himself and find it a lot easier to keep his seat in MA.
