WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts says he will support a sweeping financial regulatory bill, moving the bill closer to the 60 votes it needs to ultimately win final approval.
Brown joins Sen. Susan Collins of Maine as two crucial Republican votes for the legislation.
Democratic leaders were still looking to secure the 60 votes needed to overcome procedural hurdles. They were awaiting word from Republican Sens. Olympia Snowe of Maine and Charles Grassley of Iowa, who supported an earlier Senate version.
Brown won concessions in the bill and said Monday that the legislation "is a better bill than it was when this whole process started."

So sweeping that it left Fannie and Freddie out. This Senator’s 15 minutes are up.

Hey, Scott, the exit is via the door...why not use it?
Well, Hell, Mr. Brown IS as dumb as he sounds.
Pity.

A Republic is a system, of governance characterized by the Rule of Law; when the Law fails, the Republic fails.

The guy is going to be a disaster. What was his ‘beef’ with the Health Bill? I mean the financial bill is just as intrusive and overbearing with government regs.

One more step for the messiah’s TRANSFORMATION of America. I am telln’ ya by 2012 it won’t matter who runs for President - there will be no undoing the TRANSFORMATION. A complete commie coup without a single shot being fired. The two people I wish were alive to witness this coup are Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels and Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev

This is a disappointment. It isn’t like the bill is so popular that the liberal MA electorate insists he vote for it.
