A bill designed to protect America from another financial meltdown is on the verge of becoming law. The senate just passed the Wall Street reform bill, but it wouldn't have happened without the help of three New England republican senators, including Scott Brown.
The sweeping new Wall Street reform bill finally passed with Brown's vote, along with two republicans from Maine, providing democrats and President Obama with the crucial 60 votes to block a GOP filibuster

I am from Mass. so I can say this:
I AM SO DISAPPOINTED AND ANGRY WITH SCOTT BROWN.....Not another dime, not another dime to his campaign. This piece of legislation will be an economic disaster. Anyone have any clue as to his “reasoning” (imho: lack of) on why he voted for this 2500 page economy killer?
The fact that he voted with the the two superRINOs from Maine says it all. I know that he is better than Coakley would have been but I am so disappointed. I knew he was liberal on some social issues but was supposed to be fiscally more conservative. Not with this vote he isn’t!
The bill is irrelevant! It is unconstitutional on its face since Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution does not specifically list regulating finance as an enumerated power! The people are not bound to comply with an unconstitutional act! It is the duty of Americans to uphold and defend the Constitution by openly defying the socialist/marxist agenda!
Just sayin'
I guess that solving a non-existing problem is easier than actually working on something that the people need. What people need right now is responsible, enlightened untangling of the bureaucratic mess of government agencies and laws that ensure incompetence in dealing with the Gulf of Mexico oil containment and clean up.
At least they could figure out how much the red tape is costing the taxpayers in terms of wildlife loss, environmental damage, economic damage, delays in cleanup, slow and nonexistent response times, dealing compassionately with the personal losses of the affected population.
No. According to these three Republicans, the Marxist agenda is more important and easier to do, like tilting at windmills!
1st to post it here of his potential of being the 60th vote, I got a life long Dem to vote for him, and 4 people I know sent him money via my emails. Gosh, I knew he would do stuff to piss us off, but not this. This bill is a nightmare, not another dime Scotty.
Going Amish Anyone? I see no other way out of this mess, I am afraid the rest of the Repub's will disappoint us between 10 and 12'.
Prostitute Brown (Team Romney) used payoffs to himself
and the State Street Bank (more payoffs indirectly?)
as payment for his vote to betray his constituents.
What a disgusting excuse for a human being is Brown.
I know I am disgusted too. The only thing the Republicans in Massachusetts can say is “would you rather have Coakley?” Either way, we are screwed.
These RINO’s provide cover for many of the other RINO’s of the Senate who had to oppose the bill out of fear of the people.
Many more Republicans favored this bill in their hearts and can now rest easy it passed without them having to vote for it.
They get what they want, they appear to be conservative and they get re-elected by being among the 38 NO votes.
“I know I am disgusted too. The only thing the Republicans in Massachusetts can say is “would you rather have Coakley?” Either way, we are screwed.”
Oh, I agree Coakley would have been much much much worse. But, just once can we NOT have the “lesser of two evils” and have a person who honors his/her pledge to voters? Who is what he/she claims? Just once?
“Either way, we are screwed.” Frankly, I am sick and tired of being screwed by our so-called representatives....so very very tired. Not to mention, scared to death! What kind of country will our kids live in? What I see now is NOT the United States of America but the USSA....so sad, so sickening.....
I`ve defended Brown as someone who was being just as advertised, but he is way out there on this, his big justification being the use of bailout funds instead of new money. It`s like being for the building of the mosque on the WTC site because they`ve agreed to use `green` energy to power the PA system.
I went to Scott Brown’s website and gave him a piece of my mind. Like others, I was an out-of-state contributor to his campaign. Please take a minute and tell him what you think:

He struck a deal with the Rats to protect 2 firms from Massachusetts but when they didn't include it in the bill he called Reid and threatened to pull out at the last minute, then it was magically reinserted.
I heard Brown saying he was voting for this because it was good for Massachusetts.
So think what you get when you vote for Romney, just another progressive.
To prove his "independence." Teenagers do it all the time.
