Don’t know if you’re physic (if you are you need to tune up your ball) or “mentally challenged” but I can’t help you with either. See above.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Right, and somehow you have appointed yourself a genius or at the least, the smartest idiot on the forum.

I am giving the guy a break on this one. It was a cloture vote, not the main bill.

Look, the guy is from New England. Republicans are endangered species up in those parts.

Well said.

There are people on this thread that are Scorched Earthers. They would of prefered a Coakley win and the Kennedy seat remain in the hands of a Democrat for another two generations than to add one more moderate Republican. And what a boost that would of given to Obama.

I would ask any of them to give me another Massachusetts Republican that would of been conservative enough for them, and still be able to beat Coakley. They can’t.

[roses of sharon]

explaining that people just do not understand "cloture" and attributed angry callers to his office as being given marching orders from "special interests."

Sure. The evil conservatives that put him in office because he claimed to be a fiscal conservative...are a "special interest" group now???? And we are so stupid we do not understand the rules of the Senate?

Thanks Scott...you lying jerk.

The people who supported Brown wanted him to win against Martha Coakley, he did that. Seems you got what you wanted, yet you’re still not happy.

Well said, Peter. We attended 3 rallies (and visited 1 Brown call center) for Scott on election eve - January 18, 2010. Scott was going around signing any item (including a bald guy's head!) put in front of him with "Scott Brown #41".

The #1 reason Scott got elected was to STOP ObamaCare. The Massachusetts voters we met at those rallies were outraged about Obama and the democRATs ramming ObamaCare down our throats, and particularly outraged at all the 'RAT "backroom deals".

I agree we should give Brown some more time, but continue to hold his feet to the fire. I sure hope he doesn't go the way of John McCain, Olympia Snowe or Susan Collins...

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Keep listening to the adults on this forum, you just might learn something.

[rintense]

All I’m saying is its fine to support him, but hold him accountable for each and every vote.

Popeye! Scott Brown : Endorsing & supporting Juan McAmnesty in AZ; I would bet that he will pep up Mitt Romney”s obvious coming-out for his run for the WH, and is probably working on it right now. He needs to be watched like a hawk. I was happy to see him take “Kennedy’s Seat” & defeat horrible witch Martha Coakley, but he is no rogue conservative IMO & needs to be watched & criticized when its due. <><>< That canned spinach is no good, yuk—eat only the fresh!

Post 70

I could make another comment about someone from another state, California no less, trying to “Hold Scott Brown’s Feet To The Fire”, but I’ve already done that.

[Diogenesis]

That fact is: Scott Brown has left his disillusioned supporters
far behind him, as he has transformed to a dastardly RINO
like another past scurrilous liar, Willard Mitt Romney-care.

[GOPsterinMA]

yep!

[molybdenum]

only saying we should watch him, not either think he's another RR nor a flaming lib scoundrel and a liar, with his win he helped accelerate the cause , but if he goes with Mitt the hell with him.

he posed nude long ago, hardly matters, but what I don't like is the way he was showing off hs half-naked daughters and joking about them being available. No class, and stupid to boot. And calling 0bama to rub it in, the silly basketball stuff, why call him at all? Moron

[HiTech RedNeck]

haw!

[HiTech RedNeck]

The question that counts the most is what do the Massachusetts voters at large think of Brown. Do they feel he is a sell out?

[HiTech RedNeck]

If you can coax a redder candidate out of one of those areas, by all means do so. I’d really like to be able to appoint Texans to be the senators and representatives of Massachusetts, however the constitution frowns on that.
