Brown Helps Democrats Break GOP Filibuster
Quote:The election of Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) energized Republicans that he would give them a critical 41st vote to help them block Democrats and filibuster key legislation.
So in the second vote of his Senate career, Brown promptly voted to help Democrats cut off a Republican filibuster of a $15 billion jobs bill engineered by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV).
I lovin' Scott Brown more and more.
Yep, weeks ago they were claiming he was a true conservative, and now they're screaming RINO.
The Teabaggers must be sadder than Canadian Hockey fans are right now.
It's times like these I like to go and read the Hannity Forums. They are PISSED to say the least.
I'm glad that there's someone in Congress who actually reads a bill and votes based on what they think of it, rather than vote along party lines.
Ah, a day where America actually gets some crap done in a sensible fashion, the mental cases over at the Hannity forums (I've been there, they're nuts) have heart attacks.
Honestly, is there any rational person who wasn't expecting this to happen? Brown knows he's from a moderate to liberal state, and he wants, above all, to be reelected. The last thing he needs is to be labeled an obstructionist or something.
I still can't believe Tea Party people thought Brown was one of them. He's a Massachusetts Republican, you have to be pretty damn liberal (more so than Collins/Snowe are) to get elected as an GOP officeholder in most parts of my state, much less statewide (if you don't know, my state hasn't given a Republican presidential nominee a solid win since Eisenhower).
The Tea Party people are so hungry for a victory that they're willing to attach themselves to any Republican victory... showing that they don't think about the consequences of their actions.
