Hold on now. He has already filed legistlation to cut and curb cost and benefits to Masscare.And he just blasted Coakley on the national plan http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2009/12/brown_health_ca.html
Look anywhere else in the country you have to run to the right to get elected. In Mass. you have to run to the left to get elected. Like Ronald Regan said agreeing with a friend 80% of the time and disagreeing with him 20% of the time dosen’t make him my enemy.
But if he is going to run supporting the worst piece of legislation that he COULD block on day 1, then what is the use of electing him.
Quite frankly, Martha will mean more $$ coming to MA—so it “should” be in the net benefit of the citizens to vote for her. However, I care for the country and I can affect state law making by picking up the phone and talking to the state rep and state senator, whom I both know.
So, show me where this guy either supports or does not support the health care bill and I will go down and vote today (or at 7 AM on election day.)
I simply see this as a lost opportunity, and a good example of how people in MA run as republicans just to be able to run statewide. They are, in their hearts, democrats who do not want to pitch a primary fight.
There are a lot of names for men who are afraid of a good fight. One that is slang for a cat is the one that comes to mind for Scott.
