U.S. Sen. Scott Brown — a sometime Tea Party darling who’s been tagged as a potential 2012 target after the Bay State’s Democratic landslide in last week’s elections — yesterday downplayed the importance of the controversial conservative movement and its new foothold in Washington.
“I’m not sure who they are,” said Brown when asked about the election of senators with reported Tea Party ties. Brown said he’s known U.S. Sens.-elect Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Pat Toomey (R-Penn.) before the election and, “They don’t come and say, ‘Hey, I’m a Tea Party member.’ They come and say, ‘Hey, I’m a U.S. senator representing my state.’ ”
Brown dismissed the Tea Party’s influence on the U.S. Senate despite national claims that self-described Tea Party candidates such as U.S. Sen.-elect Rand Paul (R-Ky.) represented wins for the growing grass-roots movement.

No way in Hell I vote for this guy again.
Why I’m shocked...shocked, I tell you.
The guy voted for the government takover bill which is as destructive as Obamacare is many respects. He is no republican let alone conservative.

Hey, it took about a week for him to contract Potomac Fever.
One invite to play basketball with the maoist and he was hooked.
We are stuck with him and I wouldn’t be surprised if one of these years he turned into a Jeffords.
. . . and on Dancing With the Stars 2013, Scott Brown, former U. S. Senator.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if one of these years he turned into a Jeffords.”
He’ll be out in 2012.
LOL
Yep. Maybe it can be father-daughter pairing.
Chris Christie also benefitted from the Tea Party movement, though I’ve never heard him admit it.
We need two midwest conservatives in Red states in 2012 then cut this dead weight.
What do you expect from a politician who wants to be re-elected from MA? The TEA Party knows who their candidates really are. If he goes too far left, he’ll be challenged in the GOP primary the next time he runs.
By the way, Brown, Rubio is a real conservative and will do just fine with his TEA Party base.
Two seats or no, as I’ve been predicting, he’s done in 2012.
The question I have is will be go Maine Twins before then?
He doesn't give a damn.
AWESOME!!! May I use them?
Why is anybody surprised? He is another power tripper and he will do what he can to get re-elected in that messed up para-state.
Be my guest...thanks!
10-4! Thank you!
Well, I think conservatives supported him to be the 41st vote. He was...now he’s not needed. He probably realizes his usefulness is over to us and cutting left in MASS is his solution. I don’t know if it’ll work. MASS was one of the few states that didn’t have a big GOP gain Nov.2nd. I think if he does get re-elected it’ll be for his looks...MASS residents like the type.
