Jobs Bill (Brown's Blog, Freep Away)

Brown Brigade ^ | 02/22/10 | Scott Brown

I came to Washington to be an independent voice, to put politics aside, and to do everything in my power to help create jobs for Massachusetts families. This Senate jobs bill is not perfect. I wish the tax cuts were deeper and broader, but I voted for it because it contains measures that will help put people back to work.

I was disappointed with the continuation of politics-as-usual in the drafting of this bill, as it was crafted behind closed doors, without transparency and accountability. I hope for improvements in that process going forward. All of us, Republicans and Democrats, have to work together to get our economy back on track. I hope my vote today is a strong step toward restoring bipartisanship in Washington.

This guy is emulating obama already...believing his own press.

As I've said before, Massachusettes went from blue to RED...not blue to BROWN. America is not about MEN, it is about ideas, freedom and laws. I think any Republican who ran against obamas "ideas" would have gotten elected.

I knew we were in trouble when I found out his mentors were Romney and McCain't.

The state-sponsored press had already picked him as our Presidential Candidate even before the oath of office for Senator was administered.

Brown is just anothor RINO....sad.

Brown obviously doesn't mind spending more and more of other people's money. Stimulus, bailout, recovery act, jobs bill, whatever the name, it is still gross mismanagment of our country's future. Stop the freaking spending. Brown rolled over to play politics in DC like all the other self serving spineless jerks.

Brown is not what this country needs, a little better than the swimmer doesn't cut it.

I do remember him saying he was going to vote for what he thought was good for his state. Maybe he thought this was a good bill for MA. I don’t know the particulars of it, so, can’t really comment on it, but, some people on this forum are fair-weathered for sure. I see the purity test has risen its ugly head once again.

Of course, the problem is that the “bi-partisan” bill that Reid threw out actually had a lot MORE spending. So while this bill is stupid, it wastes less money than the bi-partisan attempt.

[Carley]

The Reid bill has to reconcile with the house bill which is way over ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS worth of spending.

So Brown’s vote was uninformed, unintelligent, and proves he is nothing more than a stooge of McCain who put bipartisanship ahead of his country.
