I can’t defend Republicans who vote against the core beliefs of the people who sacrificed their own labor to man phone banks and provide donations that helped put them in power.

Scott Brown voted for the START act. I expected Democrats to support it, but it was Republicans who provided the extra 9 votes required for a 2/3 majority. Scott Brown also voted for the DADT repeal.

The tax bill was loaded with special-interest giveaways.
In the interest of exposing runaway government spending, did one Republican exercise their option to ask for a reading of the bill on the floor to at least delay it? (No).

The problems we have aren’t limited to one party, so we shouldn’t be afraid to call them as we see them - even when a Republican is involved.

Oh, those aren't Republicans. They suck.
