Scott Brown and four other Republicans have joined the Democrats to end debate on a phony jobs bill that even the Associated Press points out would create an insignificant number of jobs. Perhaps Mr. Brown should run as a Independent in 2012. ScottBrownForPresident.com is for sale, email us if you are interested.

What am I bid?
There wasn’t any reason for people to feel deceived by Scott Brown, he made no secret of what he believed.
I never could understand the irrational exuberance in Scott Brown.
Pay me $1000 and I’ll take it off your hands.
I’m not sure what a “Browniact” is, but there are those of us from Mass. who got ourselves personally involved in getting votes for Mr. Brown in the hopes that he’d stand firm against Obama and the socialists at every turn. He has been a disappointment so far. He has voted for Obama’s latest stimulus bill and has voted in favor of placing a leftist Obamacrat to the Federal bench. He explains himself on the “jobs bill” fiasco by telling his constituents that “they just don’t know what this bill is all about”. Yeah, he and Obama have merely failed to make us understand.
can you spell Arlen Specter II
Bingo. Same goes for the "he's worse than Hitler" crowd. He is what he is - a moderate Republican from Massachusetts, of all places. Why can't we just agree that his election was a very good thing without thinking that he'd be a good choice for President?
Who is Scott Brown?
He voted to end debate.That's not exactly the same as voting for the bill itself.
...and has voted in favor of placing a leftist Obamacrat to the Federal bench.
I've heard that he voted "nay".What's your source?
I like Scott Brown and I would support him for president.
If I could have Scott Brown for President tomorrow, you bet your bippy I’d say yes. nuff said.
Then you've never been in a state dominated by Teddy Kennedy for 50 years.
That said, I'm disappointed in Brown. He made it seem as though he'd block the entire Obama agenda by saying repeatedly "I'm the 41st vote"; and "This is the peoples' seat. Now he says he was sent to D.C. to be an independent 'bipartisan', not necessarily a representative of what his electorate wants. He's just another typical politician, slick, weasley and deceptive.
We in Mass. had more in mind than just Obamacare regarding that all important 41st vote. Who would have voted for Scott Brown had he told us that he'd vote for the next Screwulous Bill within two weeks of his being sworn in? He's got a real problem now. I will say this with certainty, if Brown thinks he can go against the grain of those who put him over the top in Mass., (the CONSERVATIVE independents), and get re-elected in 2012, he's mistaken. Brown has but two options for re-election; he either stands against Obama and actually cast that "41st vote" in the name of conservatism, or he's got to become just another New England RINO, (i.e. Snow, Collins), to please the liberals. My guess is that he's betting on the liberal RINO route.
Good idea - a guy who is OK with MA, won’t be a good sell to the rest of the country - MA folks march to the beat of a different drummer...off a cliff...screaming...
So you folks in MA have been “screwed” in your votes, um, two times in a year and a quarter...?
Because America is in dire straits, that's why. We are at war to save our culture from Islam and from millions of non-assimilating illegal aliens. We are in economically desperate times. Our freedoms are under attack from our own politicians and justices. Christianity has been banned from the public by government. We are strangling ourselves with political correctness.
Scott Brown was elected because he ran on being the "41st" vote, and that phrase was declared again and again to represent that he would stand firmly against the entire Obama agenda. Brown represented real 'hope and change'. He's been a major disappointment so far.
I think it was in an interview with Cavuto last week where he said that sometimes he’ll be the 41st vote and other times he’ll be the 60th vote. I was worried when I heard it. Not less than a day or too later did my fears come true. Sorry I ever sent him a dime. Beck was right when he said on his radio show , before he outed Debra Medina, that with the rise of the Tea Party, we need to take a long hard look at who is running and who we choose to support. Lots of people are surfacing with little to no track record.
From what little I've seen and heard of him he seems like he might be worthy of my respect.But it's far,*far* too early for *me*,at least,to decide that he deserves to be President.
Voting to end the debate in the Senate means that it goes to the House. If the House then votes for it, the bill only needs a 51-49 vote to pass in the Senate. That, in essence, means that Brown voted for the bill.
As for my source of Brown voting yeah to Obama's latest federal judge nominee, I heard it today on the Howie Carr show. A caller stated that Brown voted for Obama's nominee and Carr agreed with him. Unless I heard wrong, or there was a misunderstanding, that was what I heard on the radio.
What you're trying to say is that Brown is an improvement over Teddy Kennedy or Martha Coakley. My reply is that we were looking for much more than just an "improvement". This is a small state, and people who have never been involved in politics before got active, went out and helped Scott Brown get elected. His OBVIOUS mandate was to STOP BARAK OBAMA. We were not hoping for some "improvement", we were looking to survive as a free nation. We need leaders to stand up to Obama and his communist ilk at every turn, no compromising ala John McAmnesty, who will "go along to get along". That mentality won't get the job done.
Could be worse...

Well, Brown wasn't a 'mistake', he is far better than the alternative, (Martha Coakley). So if the Tea Party helped get him elected it was a good thing overall.
That said, Brown's a disappointment to those of us who at least hoped he'd have the brains to see that Communism is supplanting capitalism, and have the spine to stand up to it at every turn. He said today that 15 billion dollars isn't that much money, it's "nothing compared to the original 100 billion". Duh, Senator Brown. He also said that the latest 15 billion dollar boondogle is "tax neutral". I take that to mean it's coming out of his personal bank account.
Looks like we helped elect another piece of liberal garbage.
Come on, this is Massachusetts we’re talking about. It’s the best we can hope for from that state.
I'm also from the 'gay state', so I appreciate the improvement. But things have eroded so badly in America that a little patient 'improvement' isn't going to be enough, as I see it. I'm far less concerned about voting yeah or nay for some Union position than his voting for another Obama 'stimulous' package just two weeks into his term. Batting 667 sucks if he got two hits in the "big game" that produced no runs, then struck out with two outs, bases loaded, in the 9th, and lost the game by one run. Of the 3 votes he's cast, this latest one was by far the most important. I wish him well, but I'm concerned about him now.
I hear you but, my friend, the saying “You are spitting into the wind” in MA seems appropriate! Your desire to see an anti-Obama, fiscal conservative, etc is exactly what so many of us want out here in the hinter land but oddly, once these guys get elected, the shameless switch seems to go on and they appear to not give a damn...how do we deal with that? People have short memories - let’s hope things don’t get so bad, there will be no turning back...
Only one way, but not quitting, by never giving up. We will continue to fight socialsim and communism and we'll eventually win, because people want to be free. We'll toss Brown out in two years if he disappoints, and start over again, until freedom wins.
Let me do some Freeper exorcism: OUT you Kennedy demons that are still hanging around his old Senate office!!
Couldn’t agree more! (And you’re sounding like Bushie and the reason for the Iraq war - “...people WANT to be free...”
I just wonder if I have enough yrs left to see the result of fighting the good fight - phew! Seems to be taking a LONG time!
I just put in a bid for it. Anyone who doesn’t, based on this unimportant vote is shortsighted. Oh, and don’t think for a moment that I support him for president.
Can someone post the picture of the kid from the Simpsons, going AH haa.
Lets just hope is more McCain and Less Snowe.
That is the best we can hope for.
It's a fight that never ends, that's what people have forgotten. As long as there are human beings on this earth there will be selfish, dangerous men and powerful nations trying to steal your freedom to subject you to themselves. They will steal your prosperity to make it their own. Often "they" are in our own country, that's why the Founders gave us the 2nd Amendment rights, and it's why Thomas Jefferson declared, (paraphrase), "governments tend to get corrupt every 20 years".
I don't think he does. He stated on the Howie Carr radio program that he thinks the people are angry merely because "they haven't read the bill" ---- "they don't know what they're talking about - they are marching lock step with party lines" ---- "this is not the 100 billion dollar bill it started off as".... yada, yada, yada. He, in fact, stole a page from Barak Obama, who feels he can't pass his DeathCare bill merely because he hasn't explained it well enough yet to the (uninformed, ignorant) people.
Scott Brown better realize that it was those of us who wanted him to stand AGAINST Obama at every turn, to stop his socialist agenda, that put him over the top; not moderates. Otherwise, a Republican would never win in Massachusetts. Brown will be a 24 month Senator if he continues to vote for more spending, or wants to throw the Dems a bone now and then for "appearences" sake. His unspoken mandate was to stop Obama, and nothing else. I hope he realizes that.
Gotcha...
