Scott Brown blasts Dems’ checkup (Dem: "Brown votes GOP 98%")

U.S. Sen. Scott Brown — an upstart Blue State Republican in the cross hairs of national Democrats — is lashing out at the party’s opposition researchers, accusing them of prying into his family’s private health insurance records, and demanding that they stop fighting dirty.

A DSCC spokesman insisted the request was only for public information and never sought private medical information about the Brown family.

“Obviously, the commission has made a mistake. Now Brown is trying score cheap political points to distract from his record, voting in lock step with Republicans in Washington, D.C.,” said spokesman Matt Canter. “Brown votes with the Republican establishment 98 percent of the time, and that makes him out of step with Massachusetts,” Canter added. “Democrats will mount a strong campaign to elect a senator that cares more about creating jobs, than saving his own.”

GIC officials could not be reached for comment, but a letter sent by the agency to Brown’s lawyer Tuesday warns “some or all of the material requested may constitute ‘personal data.’ ”

I don’t know - it was fun at the time, and for the “Kennedy seat” to go to a republican (even if he’s a RINO) - THAT was satisfying.

Remember - we were all very depressed at that point, and that election put momentum in our favor.

The ACU gives him a 74% rating.

Hey Scott, these are the people you're aligning with when you make your "principled" stands against your own party.

It was exciting at the time. The main concern was for Brown to beat that awful woman. We trusted that Brown would be true to his campaign rhetoric.

I think most of us (a very big assumption, I know) wouldn’t give a damn if Brown were defeated next year. He lied during that campaign and is not one of us.

Besides, wouldn’t the political world seem natural again with two Rat senators in Washington? That’s what those people deserve..they’ll never learn what Dems stand for, anyway.

Senator Scott Brown votes with the GOP much more than a “Senator Martha Coakley” ever would, and this is a good thing! Senator Scott Brown isn’t conservative enough for me and for the majority of conservatives, but he’s, still, much better than the political alternative.

The ‘Rat Party really wants to make the MA delegation a one-party one again.

[Impy]

98%? That’s some fuzzy math right there.

Me too. I could have used my donation to wipe my a$$ with; at least I would have got use out of it.

I sent money to Brown and while he has been a disappointment to me in some ways there are a couple of things I am glad about. First it makes me smile to think of the Massholes whose heads exploded when a Republican got Kennedys seat. Second, he has my address and continues to send me letters asking for more money. I can use his own pre paid envelopes to tell him what a HUGE disappointment he is to me.
