Scott Brown:HACK .. "I JUST DON'T GET SCOTT BROWN"

[Cha]

".... The poor guy is on TV all the time, but he just seems in over his head. (via Gerry Canavan)

Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., said today it's time to "collectively fix this bill" and that he's prepared to lead the charge to do just that.

"We're all in favor of the catastrophic care coverage and coverage for children," Brown told "Good Morning America." "But what about the backroom deals? What about all the bad things?"


What a garbled mess. "All" Republicans are "in favor" of some key provisions in the bill? That's very nice, except those same provisions would be scrapped if Republicans repeal the Affordable Care Act, as Brown's party is currently promising to do. Besides, if there was unanimous GOP support for those provisions, Brown's party kept this little detail carefully under wraps during the policy debate itself.

As for the "backroom deals," this weak tea is getting weaker all the time. For one thing, deal-making has been part of every major piece of legislation in American history. For another, the Senate approved a reconciliation package yesterday that removed the more notorious "backroom deals" from the package -- and Brown voted to leave the deals in.

"What about all the bad things?" That's profound, to be sure, but like everything else involving Scott Brown, it's noticeably short on substance and meaning.

He took at shot at President Obama's reaction to Republican plans to try to repeal the the health care reform bill.

"If they want to have that fight, I welcome that fight…My attitude? Go for it," the president told a rally on Thursday.

"I believe the president's rhetoric is inappropriate," Brown told "GMA.":cry::nopity:



Hmm. Prominent members of Brown's own party are using truly insane rhetoric about the ACA, telling all kinds of lies and whipping an agitated right-wing base into a sometimes-violent frenzy, but Scott Brown finds "go for it" to be "inappropriate."

Republicans sure do pick strange people as heroes.

Thank you, Rachel for taking out your ad in a Boston newspaper(Boston Globe) today to call scott brown on his slimey disingenuousness. Scott doesn't tell the truth.

1. I'll not spend a dime in Massachusetts until this assclown is out of office.

Every time I see his name, the accompanying image in my mind is of Massachusetts giving the finger to Ted Kennedy's decades of service. Yes, I know Coakley was a piss-poor candidate, and I know not ALL voters in Massachusetts voted for this clown, but to send this dufus to Washington to park himself in Ted Kennedy's old office -- :grr: :grr: :grr:

2. He has to go in two years.

Did you see the ad Rachel took out in the Boston Globe?

PRICELESS!

Senator Kerry is doing the work of two Senators.:patriot:

4. Did catch Rachel's ad -- good stuff! Brown should be ashamed.

Or at the least, embarrassed. But we know the only thing that counts is how much money he can raise off Rachel's good name (by casting it in a bad light). The words used at the end of his ad "...I just don't think America can afford her liberal politics...." are like a knife twisted in the wound. Here this airhead (as someone else properly called him) is in the home state of the LIBERAL LION, and he's talking about "can't afford her liberal politics."

I don't have any faith that Brown will be gone in two years, mostly because the reprehensible chickenhawk Saxby Chambliss is still in office years after what he did to Max Cleland. But one can hope MA will come to its senses and send Brown the clown packing.

5. My only hope is that brown is such a vacuous tool and

he is in Mass.

3. What is this airhead talking about ~ Diebold

must have been in play for him.

6. I've just been reading through Senator Kennedy's excellent memoirs

So much wisdom, knowledge, insight, vision and good judgment contained within that book. To think that perverted little weasel is now polluting his seat makes me sick to the stomach
