>>> I admit that since the election of Scott Brown, my eyes have been opened to the greater danger of liberal republicans, who can assist in the passage of liberal legislation and give it the cover of “bipartisanship”
Meanwhile back in the real world:
Dems gang up on Brown (Dems say Scott votes 87% with GOP)
First-term Newton Mayor Setti Warren blasted Brown for not representing the “values” of Bay Staters by voting along Republican leadership lines “87 percent of the time.”
“Some say I’m too young, I’m too new, it’s not my time,” declared Warren, a former aide to U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry and President Bill Clinton. “I say that this is exactly the right time to take on the man who held up unemployment benefits for the jobless until millionaires got their tax break,” he continued.
Alan Khazei, founder of City Year, the Boston-based domestic Peace Corps, and a former Senate candidate, criticized Brown.
“We have a senator now who wants to eliminate America’s service programs. Who wants to cut job training . . . who wants to gut the Clean Air Act . . . all while defending the tax cuts of the wealthiest 2 percent,” Khazei said.
Even political neophyte Herb Robinson piled on, telling the delegates that he was the better person to guard the nation from nuclear disaster.
“So, who do you want protecting the safety of Main Street America, a photogenic show-off or an engineer who has to know the difference between hair spray and nuclear fallout?” said the computer programmer from Newton.

tlb, just what do you know about the “real world” of Massachusetts politics? Just curious, are you a constituent? Did you vote for him or campaign for him?
So, the hard left wingers are taking shots at Scott Brown...as if the libs are going to provide any support to someone who they want to replace in the next election cycle.
Liberals will love those “rock-ribbed” republican “maverick” politicians like McCain, Brown and Romney when the going is tough for them and they need every vote they can get. But make no mistake, if they could get someone who will vote with them 100% of the time, they would rather have that.
