(Dem.) Scott Brown taking heat for vote on financial reform bill (Democrat in RINO clothing)
Fox News Boston ^ | 7/15/2010 | Joe Battenfeld

Posted on 07/16/2010 3:27:27 AM PDT by tobyhill

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

since Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution does not specifically list regulating finance as an enumerated power!

Enumerated power #5: To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof.

Regulating the value of money takes in a lot of territory. Including this territory, IMO.

Regulating the value refers to setting the face value of coins and bills.

he is exactly the kind of Republican Mass. majorities like, ala Bill Weld

Correct.

Scott Brown was not elected by Republicans, much less by conservatives. There aren't enough trucons in New England to fill Fenway Park.

He was elected by liberal independent women, to which group he found the missing New England key. LIWs have turned New England deep blue, all by themselves, and Martha Coakley was genetically engineered to keep the tide flowing Left.

Who knew they would fall for a handsome man who drove a truck?

His victory was (in my opinion) the turning point in what I hope is going to be our "Look Mommy! The emperor has no clothes" election.

He did enough for me when he showed the world that Obama had no game.

Anything else is gravy.

Brown represents Kennedy so well. After all, it is Kennedy’s seat. Guess it always will be.

If Brown had a shred of integrity he would have refused help from Sarah Palin and/or the Tea Parties.

He took their support under false pretenses.

Correct,

This bill goes WAY, WAY beyond regulating monetary values. It was designed to create a vast new network of Government agencies, bureaus and administrations that will increase the tax burden to levels never before seen by mankind.

The most charitable thing I can think of is to say that at least he's not Martha Coakley, or a Kennedy, for that matter.

Those who were shouting “Scott Brown for President” can all take a deep breath, say they were wrong, and promise not to be so impressionable in the future.

Does anyone have a live email link to this turning worm?

All I could find was fax or phone.

I may be wrong but I have a funny feeling you can't reach pretty boy by email.

I agree, we were desperate at the time Brown was elected. WE simply need a victory of some kind, ANY KIND and many of us were hoping that Brown would actually support us as a Conservative. But, once again, we were betrayed by another East Coast Liberal/RINO.

With all that behind us however, America can no longer recover from all the vast and complex legislation that the Democrats have managed to get passed in the last 18 months.

It will take generations to unravel and untangle this tight mess of laws, regulations and Constitutional violations. It's almost too much, too late. The damage has been done far too often, by traitors like Brown who fail to stand tall to Conservative Principles and protect us from a tyrannical Government. Which was the original intention of the Constitution!

To say that; “Well,.....At least Brown ain't Coakley!” is like saying that; “Well,......At least Stalin ain't Hitler!”

Thanks for the link. Here is what I wrote to the phony bastard:

Senator Brown: The people of Mass elected you because you held yourself out to be fiscally conservative. Do I have to, on behalf of the American People, remind you that this Bill is not an "enumerated power" granted to the Congress by the Constitution that you swore to uphold? You and your phony ilk have a date with reckoning on the horizon- the American People will speak loudly and clearly this November. Sincerely, An American Patriot

These New England RINOs will always side with the Dims on many issues. The only solution is to elect enough conservatives, and Republicans from other states to take the power away from Brown and Snowe and Collins, etc.

As disgusting as they can be, we’re still better off with them than with leftist, New England Dims in the mold of Kennedy, Kerry, Dodd, Lieberman (yes, Lieberman) and others that could be named.

Correct,

The only difference is that Romney was a Governor and if he would have been a Senator, we would have seen a much different picture of the REAL RINO Romney.

My biggest fear is that the brain dead RNC will pick Romney for the GOP candidate. Based on recent polling, Romney easily beats MaObama if the election were held today.

America is too far gone to trust, mainly because far too few are paying attention to, or care about what is really happening to this country!

Apologists like you are why we keep on getting deeper and deeper into this mess.

I'm sure that those Russian patriots who fought along side Stalin and later found themselves in some Gulag were saying the same thing; “Well, we can't expect anything different to come out of Moscow. At least we're a whole lot better off with Stalin than we would have been with Hitler!”

There again, your logic is fatally twisted.

This vote by Scott Brown brings into relief the question whether Republicans need a standard by which they will suffer renegades. Right now we need every vote we can get to sustain a filibuster and the desertion of Brown and the two rinos from Maine illustrate just how vulnerable the Republican Party in the Senate is.

How you feel about Scott Brown probably depends a lot on how important you believe the financial reform act is and how important it was to stop it. I feel it was important on its own terms and for what the failure to sustain the filibuster means for the party in November and for the time between November to January. These three rhino senators essentially told the electorate that there is no difference between the Republican and the Democrat brands. Scott Brown, by selling out for goodies for his state, in effect legitimatized the Louisiana purchase and the Nebraska deal on health care. In short, he terribly undermined the position of the Republican Party going into a midterm election only a bare 100 days away.

I am very sure that after the November election the Republican Party will be able to sustain filibusters in the Senate even without Scott Brown's cooperation. We will not need him then and he was not there for us now when we do need him.

I believe that Brown is approaching a tipping point, a point that John McCain, for example, has already overstepped. I think the value of disciplining Brown will soon be worth more than his unreliable participation in the Republican caucus. If Bennett in Utah can be disciplined by the party, surely Brown can be. I am not clear about what kind of discipline the party should try to impose on Brown but something by way of example should be done.

It does not avail us much to threaten him with the lack of committee participation because it would probably only drive him farther away. I would favor backing a true conservative against him even if it costs the seat. We can afford to lose the seat after November but we cannot afford to lose the country which is the real consequence of failing to stop Obama. If Scott Brown is going to set the pattern for sellouts, he becomes a liability not only for the Republican Party but for the United States.

Let me acknowledge that this is a departure from my normal posture of saying that we should vote for the farthest right candidate who has a real chance of winning. I think the times have changed.

he would have refused help from Sarah Palin

I don't know if he refused it, or if she withheld it on her own, but Our Lady of Wasilla was not involved in the Brown campaign.

Again, Scott Brown was elected by (mostly left-wing) "independent" women, and since they as a group DESPISE Sarah, her support could have cost him the election.

LOL! Thank you!!!

I just heard Brown on local talk radio show - caller begged - yes begged - - him NOT to vote for Kagen - caller told Brown he'd work to get him out of office if he voted for Kagen - I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but now I am getting ill - very ill - he did not say he would not vote for her - he said he would wait to hear what she has to say - now I'm ill - and he also said that he felt Kagen is less liberal than the (my words >>> "smart latino woman" - oh good Lord, happy birthday to me - I am going to be ill all day! He also said he's ignoring his re-election possibilities - he's doing what he thinks is right -

(walking away, shaking head!)
