Scott Brown votes with the Democrats! Hopey changy Republicans elect a liberal.

A modest job-creation bill advanced in the U.S. Senate on Monday as the chamber's newest Republican bucked his party and sided with Democrats on a $15 billion package of tax cuts and highway spending.

Republican Scott Brown joined four other Republicans, 55 Democrats and two independents to overcome a procedural hurdle that sets up a final vote later this week.


Brown said the bill was not perfect but would help put people back to work.

"I hope my vote today is a strong step toward restoring bipartisanship in Washington," he said in a statement.

Will Republicans ever wake up?

(Third party 2012! Third party 2012! Third party 2012! Third party 2012!)

Will Republicans ever wake up?

I don't know.

It seems to me that only about 3% of the Ron Paul Forums people are awake.

Ron Paul wrote "End The FED." Ending the FED is the only way we can win our liberty because they are funding the progressives.

End the FED.

Exactly who are you preaching to? Hardly anyone (no one that I can remember) ever made the clame Scott Brown was a libertarian or old school conservative. His election did derail the government takeover of health care though. And that was quite nice.

That being said, I don't think anyone had any expectations that a Republican elected in Mass would be a real small government libertarian or conservative.

My problem is not the progressives, it's the FED. Progressives are simply not very smart.

Healthcare wasn't 'derailed.' It was subtle-ized. You will still get healthcare from Scott Brown, but it will be a watered down version as the American people must not know what is going on before it is too late. I fail to see how this is a worthy alternative to an outright takeover of the healthcare system.

Just by show of hands, how many of the Brown nosers know that this "jobs" bill extends the PATRIOT act?


As long as they don't touch healthcare, let them take my guns.

As long as they don't touch healthcare, let them take my right to habeas corpus.

As long as they don't touch healthcare, let them continue with secret prisons, warrantless wiretaps, full-body searches.

Let them strip the states of their sovereignty. Let them tell me what I cannot say.

Just please, please, please, benevolent masters, do not touch healthcare!

Better idea: Tell them to F*@# off and leave you alone, and do that by supporting someone who isn't a two-faced traitor to the cause.

I have friends who bought into him, hook line and sinker. They feel betrayed. I'm standing by with a helpful hand and a gentle nudge. This is a GREAT opportunity to spread the word.

Trust not what they say. Trust in their voting record.

Neither are the Republicans, who are responsible for starting the last couple wars that are bankrupting us... Not that the Dems haven't gone along for the ride...

Nobody here did, but his Facebook page currently tells a different story.

True. The libertarians are the only political group that understands self-ownership.

his own facebook page is his worst enemy!

Only idiots are surprised by this. More to come too...

And no, health care hasn't been derailed. The latest proposal is pretty much a bill full of the tax hikes, minus any benefit to much of anyone except the Fed's bank accounts.

IT'S A REVENUE GENERATING TOOL, NOTHING MORE!
