Senator John F. Kerry, laboring to achieve a foreign policy victory that would be a highlight of his career, gained crucial support yesterday for a nuclear arms control treaty with Russia from his Republican counterpart, Senator Scott Brown.
Brown’s backing gave Kerry additional momentum heading into a possible vote today. As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Kerry is President Obama’s man in charge of trying to lock down the two-thirds support of the Senate — 67 votes if every member shows up — required to ratify the New START pact. Kerry and other senators have predicted passage but as of last evening there had not been enough public declarations of support to push it over the top.

“41” is voting consistently as a lefty. He’ll be no help at all when it counts, but it’s hard to rate him lower than a Kennedy; the Cape Cod Orca in particular.

How the HECK does Brown even know what he's voting on?!
I’m not voting for Brown again. If he were the only person on the ballot, I’d leave the office blank. I’m done. If he wins again in two years it will be without my help.
“Scott Brown is another DNC-Romney-SOROS plant
who has stolen $$$ from conservatives.”
The Tea conservatives should always be wary of the
Marxist wolves in sheep’s clothes.
I have no doubt that they are going full bore to plant
as many as they can into the Republican party.
I see that the new darling Senator of my Tennessee is turning out to be a leftist turncoat.
In the end, the two parties will join to become the real CPUSA.
Communist prostitute Scott Brown is worse than a RINO.
I wonder if Brown just wants to endear himself to Kerry? After all, Brown drives a pickup truck, and Kerry has yachts, multiple houses, SUVs, and more. Too bad that Brown is so shallow; I guess that he likes being invited to upscale cocktail parties.
Scott Brown will be remembered through the Ages
as the Benedict Arnold of the GOP in 2010;
a backstabber AFTER he was PUT in office by the GOP
and conservatives (stupid enough to trust him).
Scum bag, he is.
The Senate doesn't know what it's voting to ratify.
"How easy was that... I issue the Americans the order to ratify the treaty and they obey me without so much as a peep. Marshal Stalin would be proud."
They don't need to know what is in the document. They only know the Russians have directed them to ratify it. They will salute smartly and obey the order.
Oh, boy. Does anyone know if an admin has ever before refused to cough up the negotiating record for an arms control treaty? This just boggles my mind, that the Senate would roll over for this.
Or maybe he will pull a Jumpin Jim Jeffords and switch parties?
If it were not for we Conservatives (and mostly from outside the state) he would never have gotten elected in the 1st place.
I guess even some 30 years service in the Military (National Guards) does not a Conservative make as evidenced by his voting for the repeal of DADT and now supporting START, but then again, he IS a JAG ambulance chaser, so that might explain all.
