Newly-seated Republican Sen. Scott Brown (Mass.) on Monday joined Democrats in voting to end debate on their $15 billion jobs bill.
Brown crossed the aisle after Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) nixed an $85 billion, bipartisan plan in favor of a more narrowly-focused bill.

Color me NOT surprised. Hello, Massachusetts?
Besides I think this will be a good thing (except for the crushing debt) because their emphasis on “jobs” which will not pan out will twist the knife in the back of the Democratic agenda once and for all and will be the death knell for a Zero second term.
Not me. I donated, I wanted him to win, I’m still glad he won. He was certainly the lesser of 2 evils. I never expected him to be a conservative and I really don’t like him very much. In fact, I thought he was sort of an a’hole, now I think is a bigger a’hole.
The following quote from a Washington Post blog pretty well sums up the effect of this action.
The teabaggers must be smarting from this one. They help to get Brown elected and then he votes for a bill which will increase the national debt. Hiarious!

Or Rush,
Or Levin...
little shots against Beck and the rock star who took Kennedy’s seat didn’t vote any different on this than the ol swimmer..
Rush, Levin and Bennett looked petty trying to steal some shine from Beck- And they look smaller this evening with this news...
In the end, politicians will let us down in some ways. Sometimes they think government is the answer because they are in government- Whoa- what a shock that is...
Let’s see if Rush will have a comment on this tomorrow...
See him blame Obama on this..
I’d like to read the bill, and hear what some other Conservatives have to say, before I pass judgment.
A conceited one too. Just what we need in DC, another narcissist. We already have a the biggest narcissist on the face of this earth, squatting in the WH.
Am I missing something?
Did he vote for Stimulus 2? I thought all he did was vote to allow the vote?
He is a RINO from a Kommunist state being crucified here just for voting to allow a vote.
UFB.
where are all the “palin/brown 2012” posts ???
link please
Brown is just another lib, just like Chappaquiddick Ted.
I said give him time when he was running and when he was elected and it seems time is showing us that another rat has joined the circus or big spending
I am disappointed.
There have been some signs of weakness in Seantor Brown. First, he seemd very much full of himself when he arrived in Washington. Pride goeth before the fall.
I always have had the slight suspicion that Mr, Brown was a little light in the upper storeys.
I will call his office tomorrow (202-224-4543) and see what is up. I will also tell whomever answers that it is time for the Senator, now a big boy, to learn that government spending never “makes jobs” — not except by destroying other ones. There will be no net gain from this bill.
Making jobs is not a purpose for government under our Constitution. They should not even try.
time I said will tell and boy time is telling.
Rush was critical of Beck’s CPAC speech? I missed that. Levin has always been jealous of Beck, so I expected him to be critical.
Same here ... I do not trust New England Republicans.
As best I can tell this is his first vote of any consequence.
In the big scheme of things, this is nothing. $15B ain’t squat. As long as he helps stop the $1 trillion Obama Deathcare bill that is all I care about at this point.
It’s all perception at this point. If this bill was stopped we’d hear the GOP obstructionists killed jobs bill. Normally, I’d say who cares, but we need the focus on Obamacare. Save the obstruction for the health bill. Once that baby is dead then they can block until their heart’s content.
Can you say, Mitt Romney? Here we go again.
I am so disappointed in Scott. Where do we turn for leadership?
Right. I try to listen to Rush every day. I not only voted for McCain/Palin, I worked in the campaign, but like you said, Obama’s election is brewing a rebellion. We’ll have to wait until November to see the first results.
