Hitching His Wagon to Obama’s Star: a Republican Senator (Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts)
The New York Times ^ | September 8, 2012 | Katharine Q. Seelye

Posted on 09/08/2012 7:59:44 PM PDT by EveningStar

President Obama is appearing in yet another television commercial in the Massachusetts Senate race. This time, it was not produced by the Democratic candidate, Elizabeth Warren, but by the Republican, Senator Scott P. Brown.

The advertisement, which was scheduled to start running on Saturday, shows Mr. Obama praising Mr. Brown for sponsoring a bill to end insider trading in Congress. As Mr. Obama signs the measure into law, he thanks Mr. Brown, saying, “Good job.”

HIS WIFE WORKED FOR THE LOCAL TV STATION AND IT WAS CONSIDERED A CONFLICT FOR HER TO STUMP WITH HIM.

Unlike the faux ‘poor’ faux ‘indian’s, this family couldn’t take the financial hit of her quitting her job just to see him through a campaign to ‘take the Kennedy Seat’ when at the time it appeared to be an extremely long shot.

THEN, ObamaCare and the controvery raised up....suddenly Brown went ahead of Coakley as money poured in from all over the country to turn the seat into ‘The PEOPLE’S Seat’....

“It is one thing to complain about these “terrible Republicans,””

You said they were “terrible”, I didn’t. Some people like this “R” and other people like that “R”.

Maybe you should worry about your own troubles in Maine: who's going to replace Olympia Snowe?

Scott Brown is up for reelection in November against the vile OWS-adoring, phony Cherokee-claiming 1-percenter herself Elizabeth Warren. She is probably to the left of Obama.

yes. Brown needs a tea party like Lugar next time.

I don't know where you're from but I'll bet the clothes on my back that you've never even *been* to Massachusetts,let alone lived here.With that assumption in mind I,a *lifelong* resident of Massachusetts,will just gently say this to ya....a "Tea Party" candidate for Senate wouldn't get 30% of the vote in Massachusetts.

That might not be the case in Indiana...or Texas...or even Florida.But Massachusetts is different....much different.

I don't blame you.The only reason I'm still here is because my family's here.However,I'm giving *very* serious thought to leaving this dump and moving to southern New Hampshire.That way,I'd still be close to my family in the Boston area but I'd escape the likes of "Coupe Deval" Patrick,Kerry,Frank and the stifling taxes (NH has *very* low taxes and always has).

I'm from Massachusetts. Trust me, you do not want Elizabeth Warren winning that senate seat and thrust into the national scene (she could be on Democratic ticket in 2016 if she wins). She makes Hillary Clinton appear almost normal by comparison.

Brown has little chance to make a national ticket and in the senate, he'll vote with the Republicans far more than Warren will. The nation is better off with Brown in the senate than Warren.

Unless you own property there.

Other than property tax, which is oppressive, NH is relatively tax free.

I've heard that the property taxes in *some* towns is high.But even if *all* towns have high taxes the *overall* tax rate is among the lowest in the country.I've seen many lists that confirm that.

Just did a quick search of the City of Nashua website.I found a Nashua condo on coldwell bankers website that was worth about what mine is then went to the Nashua site to look up the tax.That condo's tax was about $1,000 a year higher than what I pay for mine.I bought a new car last year and paid $600 sales tax.Add in income tax and sales tax on everything else and I,at least,come out *way* ahead in NH versus in MA.

He is appealing to the Massholes, I guess he thinks he has to do it. I sent this guy money from Texas, it was worth it at the time to see a dem lose but I think I'll write to him and ask for my money back.

I wish Howie would start calling her “Shake-y Warren”...she’s got that annoying head-shake-for-emphasis thing goin’ on...even when she says ‘yes’, her head is saying ‘no’...

...that, along with her condescending ‘listen-to-me-I’m smart’ attitude and her fakey Okie cr*p, is ENOUGH to drive any normal person to distraction when they consider that they’d be subjected to her for SIX LONNNNNNNNG years!

Bad enough we have 2 more years of the Lurch of the Botox.

I swear, you people are absolutely f'ing amazing! When Zero finally signs a bill that we want you can't control your hate long enough to say something like, "It's about time time."

No, you have to contest everything he does, everything Scott Brown does. None of us respect these people but get your head out of your ass and read the friggin article! There is not one comment in the first 50 that refer to his sponsoring a bill to end insider trading in Congress.

You folks remind me of a teenager who is going through her monthly period. Continual bitching is all you ever do.

The anti Romney crowd is bitter, riled up and this site is the only outlet for their frustration. Keyboard commandos all but not a difference maker among them if the hatred keeps them home or compels them to vote for the Dem. plant Virgil Goode.
