TRY LAUGHING AT THIS…

“Brown’s win evidence of Tea Party hijacking.”

Unlike Beck, Limbaugh, and Hannity would have you believe Republican Scott Brown’s Tuesday win over Democrat Martha Coakley is not the first in a long line of future victories for the “Tea Party” movement but rather a result of a coup d’état for the Republicans and a testament of a poorly run campaign and a disillusioned Democrat Party. Similar to the public’s infatuation towards Obama, Palin and other cult of personality politicians Brown’s win can be attributed to his ability to relate to his constituency and unfortunately not towards his ideological superiority over his opponent.

Had the Tea Party folks been concerned about his politics they would have had at the very least questioned his continued support and defense of socialized healthcare in Massachusetts, which has contributed towards bankrupting the commonwealth and lead to the highest rise in healthcare premiums as compared to any other state in the union. Even more disturbing, Massachusetts and Obama’s federal proposal, “Obamacare,” have identical mandates forcing private citizens to buy healthcare insurance.

Similarly, his claim that he’ll lower taxes and cut spending does not line up with his voting record. In a radio interview on November 3, 2008 on Boston’s WTTK he urged voters to strike down question one that would have ended Massachusetts’s 5% income tax. Also, according to the Centers For Small Government, in his eleven years in the Massachusetts state Senate he had not “authored, sponsored, or introduced” one bill which would have “cut as little as 5% of total state government spending.”

He has even departed from his support for a cap-and-trade. According to a the Boston Globe “In 2008, he [Brown] voted with the Legislature for Massachusetts to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a pact among Northeastern states requiring power plants to reduce emissions or to buy credits from cleaner industries.” The Globe continues by quoting Brown directly where he stated “Reducing carbon dioxide emission in Massachusetts has long been a priority of mine,’’and “Passing this legislation is an important step . . . towards improving our environment.’’

He is however, the sixtieth vote and will vote against Democrats to stop healthcare reform. Once again his record seems to indicate he will do otherwise, the Boston PBS affiliate reported that Brown voted with and not against his Democrat counterparts in the state Senate 91% of the time. The only aspect of Brown’s history we cannot criticize is his foreign policy simply because he doesn’t have any experience in the federal arena of fear mongering. However, his support of Obama’s troop surge in Afghanistan and his willingness to deprive those on US soil of constitutional due process is quite disturbing. At the very least he is just another opportunistic politician who will readily compromise his true beliefs during his campaign and then fall back on his promises once in office.

WELL NEOCONS YOU HAVE DONE IT YET AGAIN!
