I dedicate this to El Presidente of Mexico.

He’s not going to be the 41st vote for anything that matters. He’s to the left of Russ Feingold, who is still a “no” vote, on this. Feingold is a lefty, but he’s no Obama flack. If the bill doesn’t do what it it says it will, why is Feingold voting “no” but Scott Brown voting “yes.”

The statist world is crashing down all around him, and all Obama wants to do is consolidate power in Washington in the image of every other failing welfaire state.

And Scott Brown is helping him do it.

Scott Brown will get beat by a card carrying liberal when he is up for re-election since his opposition to the status quo (Obama) is no longer credible.

I agree he’s better than Ted Kennedy, but his atmospherics have made his votes worse. ie The circumstances of each, his offhanded explanations I’ve heard and read, could not be worse. i can understand now why Obama had his eye on him as yet another wimp.

somehow Scott Brown is responsible for Tim Burns. Why would PA voters care if a Mass Senator is coming in to campaign for him. Also, he has to get reelected in 2 years and he can’t do that by being Jeff Sessions; but he also is no Pat Leahy. He is a center-right republican, who is conservative generally. And at the very least, you have to say that he is no tool for the Establishment, as he does not seem to care. I can respect that and support him even though we disagree from time to time.

I would say Europeon style socialism. Let’s not get too over the top here. I respect your argument about the importance of Solidarity. But I think that there has been, I mean at the end of the day Obama got no republican votes for his socialistic healthcare bill.

Scott Brown’s vote never mattered on health care.

that democrats have to now lobby for republicans because of his election, makes all their terrible bills, less terrible.

and 992 OFA calls later, Scott Brown changes his vote, that’s not saying much for Scott Brown’s “independence.”

Why is it only “independence” when you sell you owm party down the river?

While some of us are trashing Scott Brown for acting pretty much like he said he would, we’ve got a great chance to pick up a Dem seat tonight.
Am looking for a link for returns.

Is the desire of the majority of Americans to stop a rapid movement of the government to the left, returning it to a slower movement to the left?
When driving fast down a road which goes over a cliff, it does no good to just simply reduce your speed, the only safe option is to stop and turn around.
The politicians I would be looking for are the ones who view the Constitution as it was written, including the amendments which are the only forms of change to it’s interpretation that make it a so called “living document”. Democracy can only work when a majority can be kept from redefining right and wrong simply by a majority decision. This is why the founders went out of their way to create a Constitutional Republic, made up of sovereign states and sovereign individuals, with a Federal government having limited and defined powers as delegated under the Constitution. If the powers cannot be found within the Constitution and have not been acquired by an amendment, they do not and should not exist. The political parties are National which means they exert pressure even in local elections.
