Brown tells AP he'll sometimes side with Democrats

BOSTON – Scott Brown says he has already told Senate Republican leaders they won't always be able to count on his vote. The man who staged an upset in last week's Massachusetts Senate special election, in part by pledging to be the 41st GOP vote against President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday that he staked his claim in early conversations with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Whip Jon Kyl.

"I already told them, you know, `I got here with the help of a close group of friends and very little help from anyone down there, so there'll be issues when I'll be with you and there are issues when I won't be with you,'" Brown said Thursday during the half-hour interview. "So, I just need to look at each vote and then make a proper analysis and then decide."

well he’s hardly gong to say he will never vote against the Dems will he

Yet again a stupid piece of so called journalism and I’ll be surprised even if one person takes the bait from this.

Lets give him time and lets see how he does until then I’ll wait and be happy he put a road block up against the fringe left and the wanna be dictator

A Scott Brown ping list in the works perhaps?

RINO but we knew that anyway. I don’t see how anything better could be expected in such a liberal state. At least he’s already staked out his position on Health Care.

He’s doing the bipartisan two-step. He’s playing to the media same as Obama. He is our Obama

Will he betray us conservatives?
My bet is 65-35 against this

Makes me want to ping every FReeper who’s upheld him as the savior of the GOP in the last couple of weeks. I suspect that crow is a bitter dish.

OK I AM SURPRISED

astounding, anyone with a bit if sense will not say he will vote against them even though he has not seen the bills before him, that would be down right stupid.

lets wait to see his voting pattern first before we judge someone.
We on the right have some sense unlike the left so lets show it and not take the bait from the MSM

Frankly, his words sound like what every principled elected official should say:

“I already told them, you know, `I got here with the help of a close group of friends and very little help from anyone down there, so there’ll be issues when I’ll be with you and there are issues when I won’t be with you,’” Brown said Thursday during the half-hour interview. “So, I just need to look at each vote and then make a proper analysis and then decide.”

I think it is screamingly funny. So many people have jumped on the “I'm Scott Brown TOO!” bandwagon but very few thought to stop and find out what the guy believed in or stood for. Being a Republican in a state like Mass might be the same as being a Democrat in a less Marxist environment. I have read at least once he is pro choice but really haven't followed all his policies because I'm not from his state.

A maverick in the making? Another RINO? Someone who is going to be true to his own values and the parties be damned? Will be interesting to see how Mr. Brown turns out as Senator Brown.

Seems to be an assumption the Republicans in the Senate can do no wrong.
