Scott Brown voted for cloture on the job bill. Hilarious wingnuts freakout:

but I guess the trolls were hungry and needed to be fed.

If folks are free to Unrec right out of the gate, then it's alright for other folks to call them out...it tells us something about the culture here at DU.

...basis"

well he got his wish!

Dems vote with Dems.

attribute for anyone defending what is left of our democracy. Using your first post to condemn such is less than stellar

Snowe, Collins, Voinovich, and Bond vote for cloture and Nelson doesn't.

on his own.

Are you referring to Brown-Mass.

Interestingly, neither party likes him. The Democrats hate him for obvious reasons and the Republicans feel like he ultimately sold out to Obama and the Dems.

... but Lieberbutt isn't MY senator. Joe is all about Joe.

1) Voted against the McCain-Feingold election finance reform, one of the few Dems to do so.

2) Voted FOR Gramm-Leich-Biley act which opened the flood gates for the recent financial collapse, again, one of the only Dems to vote for it

He's a corpratist ...

they took out the goodies for his state.

I'd love to see one.

Hehehehe.

While you can't SEE the head exploding, one certainly did.

No need to comment on the sheer ignorance of that statement; but therein lies winger's strengths.

They will block/oppose all Democratic Party legislation. They take no prisoners.

Can you imagine if we were that focused as an opposition party when bushco* was in control?

Can you imagine how much better off we would have been now?

Yeah, I know that that kind of tit for tat is childish and can really cause stagnation, but DAMN can't we at least block the most regressive of gop legislation?

Brown is getting all the headlines, but it would have passed even without him.

Just curious.

on edit...

Nevermind - found it.

"Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts, the newly elected Republican, was the first to join Democrats in backing the measure. He was then joined by Senators Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, George Voinovich of Ohio and Christopher Bond of Missouri, who voted after it became obvious Democrats would prevail. Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska was the sole Democrat to oppose beginning debate on the measure."

Gotta love Bob Nelson. Not.

:wow:

"Congratulations to Comrade Scott "Marxist" Brown on Voting For Bolshevik Jobs Bill"

"Freedomwarrior: RT @grammy620 Well, I guess we worked our tails off to get another RINO elected. I'm so disappointed in Scott Brown. @ScottBrownMA"

"lovesliberty: @SCOTTBROWNMA - SO MUCH FOR BEING #41stvote!!!==YOU ARE A FRAUD!!#tcot #MASen #BROWNFRAUD I want my money back!"

on him with that vote. Imagine trying to help the US job market while the freepers sit around in their parent's basement trying to bring down the US.

That would mean all of the money they spent on ammo and emergency seed kits was wasted...

GLORIOUS!!!!!

My Repub friends did a lot of end zone dancing when Brown was elected. This is probably the best revenge.

Oh, the irony..........

Seriously, my wife had them confused - she thought RuPaul was going to run for president.

May not be such a bad idea compared to the other guy...
Can we draft him?

So we'd save money there.

And have some REALLY GOOD parties.....

Poor freepers, living in their own little right wing world...they think everybody dances to their tune. Heh. I love it...

I've anxiously been awaiting him to do something to make the wingnuts mad, it happened sooner than I thought it would. He voted how his constituents would want him to, so they need to dry up.

:rofl:

He has a chance to separate himself from the lunatic fringe that is his entire party. Let's see what he does.

from tea party nation...

Well her we go. He is barely sworn in and he is on the take. So this is how he pays all of us who contributed to his campaign and helped to get him elected. 15 billion more dollars shot to --ll.

I heard that Frances! We all have to really, really be so vigilante no matter what on who we choose to vote for. some will say it was either Coakley or him! I am disappointed again and not happy about it one little bit. As a mom, I am feeling very sad right now!

Sad is not exactly what I am feeling right at this moment. Rage would better describe it. But, I am sure that after I have slept on it I am going to be very heavy of heart tomorrow. How can we be vigilant when people are so pathetic.

I just came from his facebook site. People are livid. There are already close to 1,800 post and it is getting uglier by the minute. He will probably need a police escort in the morning if he leaves home.

The one good thing, Brown will be in office two years if he keeps this nonsense up. Let's see him win Massachusetts with the entire tea party movement supporting his primary opponent. We will either tear him to shreds in primaries and get his rival the candidacy, or weaken him for his elections. You might want to keep the trailer hitched to your truck, Scott...

Hopefully, this will result in disillusioned teabaggers who feel that, no matter WHAT they do, "politicians will do what they always do." Let the APATHY begin!

They sandbag Snotty Scotty, and bang--we get Senator Capuano.

As there are so many independents, it would seem that if he managed to have a moderate record and retained any of his likability, could he win the Republican primary on just Unenrolled votes? ( Of curse, I would far prefer Capuano or another Democrat, but I thought that question interesting reading the RW nut.)

:rofl:

The life expectancy of your average teabagger must be way shorter compared to his non-teabagger peers. Their blood pressure has got to be through the roof!

in under control because of the commie Medicare part D that subsidizes their morbid lives.
So if you have the opportunity to talk to a Tea Bagger suggest they stick an ice pick in their own head to reduce the pressure caused by politicians voting for something they can't comprehend. How many of these rubes would take that suggestion seriously if you convince them to only make a small hole with a very sharp ice pick? It only hurts for a second.

:eyes:

He's up again in 2012 to run for a full term.

:(

Like me, you are just anxious to get a few good digs in. Try again!

"We all have to really, really be so vigilante no matter what on who we choose to vote for."


Most ironically accurate Freeper misspelling ever.

Gold. Pure gold.


:rofl:

Teabaggers and Freepers are their own worst enemies. But, sometimes, watching them stammer around trying to justify their own existance is like watching a train wreck stop to scratch it's crotch.
You know it's coming and it's horrible; but, in between you've just got to stop and let the comic factor overwhelm you.

These baggers demand complete and total submission to the reich or face permanent banishment. They set the bar impossibly high.

These people are so screwed.

Of both sexes, brown is padding his 'moderate' credentials. Wait until after his reelection and see how he votes.

Sorry Teddy. I have to apologize for all the a-hole 'Indies' that voted for this person.

From the sound of it, the extremists will see to it that he loses his primary to a more "pure" conservative. Most of the indies and moderate republicans won't vote for that. It will be the NY-23 race all over again.

All that singing and praising they did for Brown winning that seat. LOL haha this is HUGE!!11! (couldnt help that bit)

Cheers
sandy

thanks for that great LOL

their constituents unemployed than have President Obama seen in a positive light. Real patriots. Finally a few do the right thing and all they get is condemnation. This perfectly illustrates how completely wrong the GOP is.

Beautiful. Wonder where all the folks are that were crowing about his victory and anticipating he'd be another 100% lock step party vote. Doh! Surprise :)

tea bag party made up an extreme minority, it was mostly people voting against the stupid 60 vote majority that got nothing done.

Scott "I'll be the 41st vote, not the 60th vote" Brown, didn't have to stick his neck out for this one.

Allows him to say he "voted for it" even if he votes against it later when it really is a vote on the legislation.

If he doesn't he's just as useless as the rest of the repigs.

sticks up for that cause at least. (Yes, I know he's on record as being opposed to the current HC hash bills...)

and then he says they shouldn't pass it using the nuclear option. (apparently not knowing that the nuclear option is not the same as reconciliation.) http://www.bostonherald.com/business/general/view/20100223scott_brown_fumes_over_health_plan_rejects_obamacare_ii_as_nuclear_option_that_will_increase_taxes/srvc=home&position=0

:rofl:

But will immediately going back to turning a cold eye on Scott Brown -- I still don't trust his kind. The GOP has SOMETHING up their sleeve with that tool.

... as that vote will likely get the most coverage, so voters will be left with the "bipartisan" memory -- even if he starts voting party line down-the-road.

He was in a hurry to be sworn in so he could join the "Party of No"

This vote? usual Washington Two Step

vote against cloture, but as you know, four other GOP senators also voted for cloture so his vote wouldn't have made any difference. It's an age old political game. But I do believe that when push comes to shove Brown will support the GOP line.

Of course, most wingnuts are too stupid to understand this so they freaked out over it. But in a way, their reaction probably helped Brown in Massachusetts.

though I still wouldn't expect too much from him (though I think it was still smart for Obama to not make an instant enemy out of him). Realistically, he's going to have to break ranks occasionally with the Repubs to continue to appeal to the moderate and independent voters he won over and without whom he won't be able to win a full six-year but his "independence" will likely come in the form of cloture votes on non-controversial legislation and then probably only when he's joined by some other Repubs as well. I'll be a little more impressed with him if and when he singularly bucks his party on some major issue in terms of a cloture vote and/or signs onto some progressive legislation.

Of course, he tossed in how Brown will be in "lock step" when "big issues" come up for a vote.

and he has 2 years to prove his worth as a senator. Perhaps if this was a full term (thank goodness it isn't), he'd probably be a typical wingnut.

Also, he won't last long in MA if he acts like Palin.

I thought he was a Republican party lackey. Apparently not.

I love it when they piss off their masters.

hehe }(
