# Brown: "I accept the findings of the report and support repeal based on the Secretary’s recommendations" 6 minutes ago via web

Some of his votes piss me off but he is so much better than the alternative, I’m glad we have him. I’d rather have him than a Ted Kennedy in there.
I remember the fools calling for him to run for President, I thought they were nuts.
I did not like him from the get-go. You can go back and check. On the other hand, his opponent was the spawn of Satan.
“I did not like him from the get-go. “
Even if you did, it would still be pretty dumb to push a guy when he didn’t know where his Senate seat was.
Disagree. Romney ruined Romney. He's a RINO, not a true conservative. He didn't even try to change his liberalism until he decided to take a run at the POTUS job. Now suddenly he realizes who makes up the base of the party and sees the innate schism between his tiny slice of reality and the national picture. Too late. Be true or go blue.
Typical Brown constituent.
And that’s AFTER completing boot camp.
I wouldnt judge the whole GOP on Scott Brown, we all knew he was a RINO. Dems need two Senators for this.
All I ask is that they (RINOS) don’t pass anything big like this using Lame Duck congress Democrats. That would truly make them the enemy. They can support it in the next congress where it will take more Republicans.
Conservatives do not get elected in MA at the state level. He was a means to an end. Anything more than that and people were kidding themselves.
I guess Romney is toast :)
Wouldn't that be a less-than-one termer? He served his purpose in breaking the super-majority and acting as a lightning rod for motivating the Tea Party.

Romney may have ruined himself as a presidential candidate, but he did just fine getting elected in Massachussetts. I didn’t say he wasn’t responsible for his actions, but this is just political reality.
The reddening of Mark Pryor (Dem Senator and the whining Ark Press)
Can’t believe I sent money to the campaign of this soon-to-be former U.S. Senator (R).
The RINOs must realize that if they dont find some (any) excuse to vote NO now that they will be outcasts. They can vote YES next year without causing the same damage and bad feelings.
Look, I sent $ to Scott when he ran.
Since then, he has emailed several times asking for more money. He got a quick answer: no, and here is why: xxx.
Here in Florida, we booted a RINO governor in favor of the conservative Marco Rubio.
We have to do that, bit by bit, piece by piece.... hmm... reminds me of a song....
Conservatives, I say we take this Broadway tune, popularized by that liberal Barbra Streisand, and make it OUR theme for rebuilding the Republican Party!
[Barbra:] Look, I've spent a lot of time working on this
[Producer 1:] Look, no one's gonna buy it -- no one.
[Producer 2:] No one in Middle America, anyway. That's for sure.
[Producer 3:] He's right!
[Producer 1:] Sweetheart, it's just not commercial!
[Barbra:] What is commercial?
[Producer 2:] It's not what's selling nowadays.
[Producer 1:] I mean - personally, I love it, but
[Barbra (sung):]Be nice, girl!
[Producer 3:] Nobody's into this kind of material.
[Barbra (sung):] You have to pay a price, girl!
[Producer 2:] This album needs a hit single we can push.
[Barbra (sung):]They like to give advice, girl!
[Producer 1:] The whole idea's too risky.
[Barbra (sung):] Don't think about it twice, girl!
[Producer 2:] The audience won't understand this kind of thing!
[Barbra (sung):]It's time to get to work!
Barbra (spoken): I disagree! Why don't you wait until you hear it?
[Producer 3:] This is like your old stuff!
[Barbra (sung):] Art isn't easy.
[Producer 3:] You've got to appeal to the kids.
[Barbra (sung):] Even when you're hot.
[Producer 2:] Why would you want to make an album like this anyway?
[Barbra (sung):] Advancing art is easy.
[Producer 1:] I think we ought to talk seriously about this.
[Barbra (sung):] Financing it is not!
[Producer 2:] Why take chances?
[Barbra (sung):] A vision's just a vision if it's only in your head!
[Producer 1:] Nobody respects your artistic integrity more than I do, but
[Barbra (sung):] If no one gets to hear it, it's as good as dead!
[Producer 2:] You have to think about you career!
[Barbra (sung):] It has to come to life!
Bit by bit, putting it together
Piece by piece, only way to make a work of art
Every moment makes a contribution
Every little detail plays a parts
Having just a vision's no solution
Everything depends on execution
Putting it together, that's what counts!
Ounce by ounce, putting in together
Small amounts, adding up to make a work of art
First of all you need a good foundation
Otherwise it's risky from the start
Takes a little cocktail conversation
But without the proper preparation
Having just a vision's no solution
Everything depends on execution
The art of making art
Is putting it together, bit by bit
[Producer 2:] Do we really need all these musicians?
[Barbra:] Link by link, making the connections, yes we do!
Drink by drink, taking every comment as it comes
Learning how to play the politician
Like you play piano, bass and drums
Otherwise you'll find your composition
Isn't gonna get much exhibition
Art isn't easy
Every minor detail is a major decision
Have to keep things in scale
Have to hold to your vision
[Producer 1:] Why don't we talk about this over dinner, darling?
What's a little cocktail conversation
If it gets the funds for your foundation
Every time I start to feel defensive
I remember vinyl is expensive!
[Producer 3:] Would you agree to do an interview?
[Barbra:] Maybe one!
Dot by dot, building up the image
Shot by shot, keeping at a distance doesn't pay
Still if you remember your objective
Not give all your privacy away
A little bit of hype can be effective
As long as you can keep it in perspective
Even when you get some recognition
Everything you do you still audition
Art isn't easy
Overnight you're a trend
You're the right combination
Then the trend's at an end
You're suddenly last year's sensation!
All they ever want is repetition
All they really like is what they know
Gotta keep a link with your tradition
Gotta learn to trust your intuition
While you re-establish your position
So that you can be on exhibit...
So that your work can be on exhibition!
Be new, girl!
They tell you till they're blue, girl!
You're new, or else you're through, girl!
And even if it's true, girl,
You do what you can do!
Bit by bit, Putting it together
Piece by piece, working on the vision night and day
All it takes is time and perseverance
With a little luck along the way
Putting in a personal appearance
Gathering supporters and adherents...
[Producer 1:] Well, she's an original!
[Producer 3:] WAS!
[Barbra:] Mapping out the songs but in addition
Harmonizing each negotiation
Balancing the part that's all musicians
With the part that's strictly presentation
Balancing the money with the mission
Till you have the perfect orchestration
Even if you do have the suspicion
That it's taking all your concentration
The art of making art
Is putting it together, bit by bit
Beat by beat, part by part
Sheet by sheet, chart by chart
Track by track, bit by bit,
Reel by reel, pout by pout
Stack by stack, snit by snit,
meal by meal, shout by shout
Deal by deal, spat by spat
Shpiel by shpiel, doubt by doubt
And that... Is the state of the art!
I suggest we do not trust anything coming from Mitt Romney.
Agreed. We will get MUCH more of what we want from Scott Brown than from Martha Coakley or any other Democrat. And there is not a more conservative Republican who can carry the state.
In some cases, he is better than some so-called conservative Republicans. For instance Sen. Brownback has NOT stated his position on the Dream Act, while Scott Brown is firmly against any amnesty.
All I’m saying is let Brown fend for himself next time. All conservative support should concentrate on real conservative races. Let Brown and vicky fight amongst themselves.
Nope.
There aren't enough tea partiers in MA to elect a dogcatcher.
Scott Brown was elected by liberal independent pro-abortion women, and by brothers who didn't like the icy white bitch.
He's as far away from that pro-Brown core as he dares to be, and them's the facts.
