They tell you one thing and get to dc and do what helps them out not our Republic! Oh well, hopefully the citizens will take charged in 2012 to do the best we can do!

   No Senate Republican ought to vote for the Reid Plan — but enough House Republicans ought to do so to ensure its passage — after renaming it the “Hope & Change Act of 2011“.

   funny thing, we will not default, but our credit rating will be lowered if they don’t stop spending. so brownie, if i can call him that, reid’s plan just ups the credit limit on the american excess card, without cutting any real spending.

    No surprise. He got elected promising to be the 41st vote against Obamacare, and absolutely nothing else. He didn’t have a conservative record before, no reason to think he’d have one now. He’d probably have run as a Democrat if they hadn’t already had another candidate. He won’t be a problem for long. Mass. isn’t going to leave even a liberal Republican in that seat, especially now that he won’t get any votes from actual Republicans or conservatives. I actually wouldn’t be surprised to see him switch parties before the next election.

    I had hopes for Brown, but, he like so many others before him was infected by the disease that is Washington. I am hoping he gets voted out of office.

    This could actually hurt Scott Brown. What the left doesn’t want you to know is that there is still UMPH left in the tank when republicans, independents and disillusioned democrats unite to get fiscally conservative things done in MA.

    It’s really why MA, despite its mostly-deserved reputation, isn’t quite on the precipe that say CA and IL are.

    Simply put, Brown got elected mostly on fiscal conservative principles, namely Obamacare.

    The people of MA thought they wanted Obamaney care, and now they are regretting it.

    He needs to abide by those principles or he could lose.

    The good news for Brown though is he enjoy some of the highest approval ratings in Congress from the folks back home.

    But even in MA he needs to stay away from Harry Reid. Reid just won election to a six-year term so he is going to hard-nosed as ever.

    Our party loyalties? I have yet to see Scott Brown be a party player. If I were guess I would think he would be loyal to his mostly liberal voter arena.

    I assumed from the beginning of his term he would be much the same as the RINO’s from the NE… (Collins, Snowe) that said still better than a Kennedy – but not by much.

    When will we get someone to vote for, instead of somebody to vote against?

How can he do that? What kind of rule says you can pick and choose how many votes you need? This seems strange to me.

    Yeah…we are on to them. But they are too stupid to even realize it. Their hypocrisy has come to bite them in the arse.

    Besides, that verse doesn’t fit their needs AT ALL. It doesn’t say we should support every lazy, drugged-out, illegal, criminal or stupid person in the country. It says to help the weak. We DO THAT! It also says to help in the name of CHARITY, not in the name of GOVERNMENT! Charity and Goodwill does not mean that the government takes your money and decides who deserves to get it. Geez, these people are dumber than rocks and twice as boring.

    Leave it to a government-educated regressive to misunderstand God’s Word.

Now, because of the way Boehner and McConnell have to negotiate, what other choice do the republican senators get? Scott Brown has only the same power in the senate as Senator Rubio, like…none.

How will bloggers here know the truth and have facts to work with? I noticed some of the national blogs also claimed Mitt Romney was silent on Cut and Cap and Balance, but he was on the campaign trail, talking to people at the VFW hall and the Rotary, yes, not important washington types, but good people, about cutting government spending, and capping the spending and balancing the budget and supporting the bill in D.C. But no liberal journalists, and of course no journalists on the right bother to cover him…i guess it is easier to misrepresent, if you don’t look at the big picture.
