A salient pull-quote from one of Texas Fred’s recent posts on John McCain:
Come election time, McCain comes home and talks like a Conservative, then he goes back to Washington and votes like a liberal.”
With that in mind, what about this bit of news:
Newly-elected Republican Senator Scott Brown has decided to help the Demorats break the GOP filibuster over the $15 billion dollar jobs bill endorsed by none other than Mr Harry Reid.
Rookie GOP Senator Brown says, quote: “I hope my vote today is a strong step toward restoring bipartisanship in Washington.”
Your vote today, Mr Brown, is a strong step over the “re-electable” chasm. As in: you are not.
Just cut to the chase, Senator Brown: pull the “R” and replace it with the “D.” Because you, sir, just ensured that you are a one-term senator.

And some of our faux Conservative friends were anointing him the next Reagan….The 2012 conservative candidate…..This guy just stuck a railroad spike in his political career.
BZ –
Disappointing, to say the least. Let’s hope he stands firm on the more important things.

Atitudes like that are what is wrecking the country. If the republicans keep obstructing everything then they will pay the price. I will say this, they got the “cornhusker compromise” out of the healthcare bill, that is a good thing. But the time to just keep blocking everything needs to end.
He and all of his friends in the senate will soon feel the voting wrath of america. Then again, are the people smart enough to vote for what is right, rather than for what’s popular? Morals must win BZ
BZ,
I posted just after the election that an examination of his record made me very suspicious of him. He is still from Mass. and voted to spend a lot of money while there. Nothing to see here. Move on.
BZ, he’s from Massachusetts for heaven’s sake! You were expecting John Birch?
I understand your disappointment, but this disarms the “progressive’s” ability to say Repubs are the party of “no”, to a degree, doesn’t it?
(I cannot believe I find myself agreeing with SuperTim.)
Senator Nelson may have lost his deal with Bozama, but the deal with Mary Landrieu is apparently
still on.
How disappointing. I still maintain that Mike Pence is our man. Indiana Congressman, decided not to run against Bayh (before Bayh decided not to run) because he thinks the Republicans will take back the house. Maybe he’s thinking SOTH role.
He also didn’t rule out a run for the White House.
Check him out. This is the man to back in 2012.
If I were a cynical type and prone to believing the worst in people, I’d have to consider the possibility that he was a trojan horse.
Nah, the dems aren’t that sneaky. But he did indeed show his RINO side pretty damn well, didn’t he. Well, on the bright side, at least McCain will have someone that he can have lunch with now.
I’m still holding out on Brown regardless of this ridiculous move…..(hope springs eternal)
What bothered me more about his vote is what he said about bipartisanship…are Repubs going to vote for things they don’t believe in to show they’re bipartisan when the president’s probably the least bipartisan we’ve ever had?
Well, maybe I’m NOT holding out on him after all ?
Sorry folks, but Harry’s $15B jobs bill beats the Hell out of that pork laden $85B pc beheamoth bi-partisan piece of cr*p that it replaced.
That $85B bi-partisan bill Harry killed was an RNC return to the BUSH era of load up the Congressional pork and spend-spend-spend!
He’s voting with your best interest your losers! He’s helping average Americans for a change. What’s more important? More tax cuts for the wealthy?
I agree with FJ – the alternative, backed by the Republicans, was worse. So, while I’m not thrilled he voted with the Democrats, I choose to take something good from it – he stood his ground and, hopefully, voted his conscience. His vote on health care and cap and tax will be far more important.

BZ, when ya get ready to install that MORON filter, let us know..
Normally I’m not a PC kind of guy and don’t like certain words being “off limits”, I would however make an exception and ban “bipartisanship”. I see no redeeming value whatsoever for that word!
No, of course you wouldn’t. You all want you own little hate filled circle jerk complete with half truths and outright lies. The right can’t stand opposing views…or the truth.
Go ahead, ‘nazi’ me out. Typical
The fact of the matter is we need job creation and thank god one republican can understand this is more than just playing ‘no’ politics. The funny part is, you are all they type of people who might benefit most from it. Wake up you corporate clowns.
Bd, Job creation was supposed to come from the 800 billion stimulus package that saved or created millions of jobs…..How about you or any of your libturd hero’s come up with a list of those jobs, then take away ALL of them that were GOVERNMENT jobs….
Obama’s a giant failure, and he’s a one term loser president because this nation DOESN’T do liberal….We are a center right nation, not a left over the cliff for a feel good ideology….Bunch of fuckin idiots. And a circle jerk? That’s pretty much what you and your libturd buddies in congress have been doing in congress since 2006 and that my friend is why we are where we are now. The power in the house went to hag pelosi, since she’s been in there the deficit has gone rocket ship and the unemployment rates have hit the ceiling. Where did that bitch come from? Yep California look at that state and see the future under your hero’s rule. Moron.
Mr. Z – Electing him was a dose of Kaopectate to stop the major flux… he is still a northeastern Republican who is naive and believes that bipartisanship is still alive after it kicked the bucket a few years back.
We still need the Immodium-D candidate.
AJ: quite right indeed!
BZ
When Greybeard agrees with me, there’s hope that this country can stop the silliness and move forward.
TF”BZ, when ya get ready to install that MORON filter, let us know..”
bd”No, of course you wouldn’t. You all want you own little hate filled circle jerk complete with half truths and outright lies. The right can’t stand opposing views…or the truth.
Go ahead, ‘nazi’ me out. Typical”
BZ is not a hater like Texas Racist,
he actually has a rational brain. He may be a LOT to the far right but he can be persuaded unlike the mindless Tea Bagger robot Fox news weenies.
Really guys (and gals) if we just dig into our extreme positions and refuse to even talk then that will just hurt us all. Take hyalf a loaf sometimes or you will starve to death…
SuperTim I’ll take as a complement. Be nice, GB. We are both veterans and love this country.
BTW- Is Ben Nelson a “DINO” since he abandoned his principles to get a deal for his state? Oh yeah, I want every other state to flit the bill for my state…
Well Tim, the MORON FILTER thing wasn’t directed at you, but, if the shoe fits, so they say…
This on the part of Scott Brown is disconcerting, but I can’t say tha I’m surprised.
In many ways, he is an unknown quantity.
The above said, I do believe that he’s better than the Dem he defeated — and certainly better than The Admiral of Chappaquiddick.
TF- There is no need to filter me at your blog. There is notthing to see there. Just a fat redneck pissed off at the world because “that goddamned colored guy won”…
Here’s a challenge for ya Tim, show the whole world where I said that… Find that exact quote, made by ME, link it for everyone to see and I’ll just delete my blog and go away…
You can’t do it Tim…
You lying FUCK!
Better to be a lyin’ FUCK (and really, I’m not because we ALL know that’s what you think)than an Fat REDNECK BIGOT FUCK! Which is what you are you poor excuse for a human being. Besides, I have better things to do than read your silly rants day after day to try to find some quote.
We all know that you called the president a “son of a buck loving bitch” right here on BZ’s blog, and that’s all the proof I need to know that you are a racist pig!!!
Why don’t you do something constructive to help your fellow man instead of being a Rush wannabe hatemonger? BZ’s a cop, Greybeard flies a Medicvac copter, and I service lifesaving medical equipment. We help save lives everyday. We may argue politics over a “virtual beer” (this blog) but we are all in some way a force for good. Your fascist rants do nothing but waste energy that could be put to better use ( like blowing your boyfriend down in Crawford :-O HA HA HA ).
Yes Tim, you are a LIAR, of the 1st order, and obviously have NO credibility…
But what you DO have, speaking from a psychological point of view, is a serious case of latent homosexuality… Every time you get your iddy biddy feeling hurt you start talking about blow jobs and *man gravy*, that old boy, is a serious indication of homosexual intent and curiosity, a fixation if you will…
And yeah Tim, I did say Obama is a son of a buck loving bitch, because she is, and YES, I am a racist, I am an equal opportunity racist, I hate em ALL equally, but you’re still a homo-curious liar that can’t even get his accusations straight…
You say you have children Tim? Who’s the father? Any ideas or suspicions?
And for what it’s worth, anyone that knows me, knows this, I gave Bush at least as much hell as I do Obama, so, once again you let your homo-curious mouth over load you quite likely homo-curious ass…
I don’t have a job Tim, I gave this nation 31 years of my life in service and law enforcement, I am comfortably retired, doesn’t that chap your homo-curious ass?
BZ is a cop? I’ll bet ya dollars to donuts I know a hell of a lot more about BZ than you ever will, as he does about me, and I mean details…
I don’t care what you do for as living Tim, makes me no difference at all, the medical field is an honorable profession, but you are testament to the fact that even retards can get a job there…
And notice this Tim, I didn’t have to accuse you of being a queer at any point in this little tirade, all I did was point out the gross indicators that you use to bring your own manhood into question…
You lying FUCK!
TF- This was your funniest post ever!GOD I laugh at you! I guarentee you I am farthest thing from gay! Your lame grasping at straws is so funny. Jeez, I am laughing in your fat face!To quote Arnold “you’re a funny guy! I Like you! That’s why I’m going to kill you last”.
Face it, Fred- You Just HAVE to blow W! It’s your lot in life! Get out the knee pads and assume the position! HA HA HA HA HA!
P.S. I love your lameass ” I know you are! But what am I?
Funniest comment ever! Oh God you are an ass!
