(NECN: Washington) - Senator-Elect Scott Brown met this morning in Washington with Arizona Senator John McCain.

"I'm very pleased and proud to have Senator Brown come and visit with me," said McCain.

"Senator Brown represents, I think, the dreams and the hopes and the frustrations that Americans feel today," said McCain.

"The bill (health care) that was being pushed in Washington was not good for Massachusetts...a one size fits all program is not good for Massachusetts," said Brown.

"People want good government...they want us to solve problems," said Brown.

Brown beat Democrat Martha Coakley in a special election held in Massachusetts on Tuesday. Brown will fill the Senate seat left vacant by the death of Ted Kennedy.

Well, there is his RomneyCare vote, which provided for state taxpayer subsidized abortions in addition to an individual mandate for abortion.

He's to the left of McCain.

OH-OH. You know ‘McCain’ and phrase ‘good government’ and a MA RINO Brown spell trouble!

You see the democrat posts that say the liberals who voted for Brown, also voted for Obama in 2008?

[Carling]

Whoops, I meant individual mandate for healthcare.

[Ol' Sparky]

Just don’t forget he is likely McCain Jr. and not Presidential material.

But folks would be very foolish to assume that he will tow the line on the conservative agenda.

He is, afterall, a Mass. Republican. We can't expect he's going to be a Conservative

“”People want good government...they want us to solve problems,” said Brown.”

No, Senator, listen up! We want LESS government and for it to stay the hell out of our way while we solve our own problems.

[Dead Corpse]

Why so pessimistic?

History? Or do we need more than the last hundred years worth of ever expanding FedGov to tell us that a bit of pessimism isn't a bad thing where government is concerned?

Hey, I know! Why not wait till he casts an actual vote before you start your usual, pathetic, Third party blubbering?

[Deb]

Well, at least, you gave him a shot.

[DallasSun]

You are right, pissant. I am surprised by the surprise of some. He refused to use the word Republican in his acceptance speech. He referred to himself and the voters as Independents over and over again. We knew he was pro choice. This is no surprise to me.

BUMP

Pathetic may be too kind a word for these clueless, ready-fire-aim dolts.

[DallasSun]

And...his first call after being elected, was to Vicki Kennedy..which I thought was gracious.

[Deb]

At least all these losers congregate on the same GOP hate threads so we know where they are.

[ChocChipCookie]

Have you read his issues statements on his website? There wasn’t a whole lot there I disagreed with.

He's a politician from Massachusetts.
I wouldn't trust him farther than I could throw him. ;)

NO...we want you to REFRAIN from CREATING new ones. -bamahead

Actually, I want you politicians to get OUT OF THE WAY. All you do is CREATE PROBLEMS, not solve them. Somebody better reign this guy in fast, because I'm not liking what I'm hearing from him. -Carling

Thank you for articulating my precise thoughts upon reading Brown's comment.

Happy to serve sir!
