Brown always said during the Senate campaign that he would represent his CONSTITUENTS, the people of Mass. to the best of his ability and with an independent mind.
Obviously he believes he has done just that on the Jobs (i.e., Stimulus II) Bill.
If the people of Mass. disagree, THEY will let him know.
If YOU were out of work with a family to support and not wanting to exist on unemployment benefits and food stamps, what would YOU want him to do?
Beat his chest and vote NO for a possible job for YOU in lock-step ideology purity with a political segment of society???
As long as Brown does what he sincerely in his heart and conscience believes is right—as he has a history of doing—he will get along just fine. More power to him.
Isn't that the same line of thinking Freepers slam liberals for having?
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.
