Scott Brown Honeymoon Is Over: "SHAME ON YOU, SCOTT BROWN! YOU LIED! SHAME!! NO MORE RINOS!!!"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

On one of his first major votes, Brown split with his party Monday to support a cloture motion on the $15 billion Democratic "jobs bill," defeating an attempted Republican filibuster in a final tally of 62-30.

Conservatives and Tea Partiers were furious, hurling at him an array of insults they traditionally reserve for liberal Democrats or Republicans they believe have committed heresy.

Immediately he was inundated with accusations of being a "RINO" (Republican In Name Only), a "traitor," and a "sell out." "Un-effing believable," wrote one conservative on Twitter to Brown.

Brown hedged his bets is a statement explaining his vote, calling the bill imperfect but reaffirming his desire to govern in a bipartisan manner.

"I came to Washington to be an independent voice, to put politics aside, and to do everything in my power to help create jobs for Massachusetts families," Brown said. "This Senate jobs bill is not perfect. I wish the tax cuts were deeper and broader, but I voted for it because it contains measures that will help put people back to work."

But his Facebook fans, whom he re-posted the statement to, were having none of it. Thousands of angry comments followed, one of which said, "You were not elected to vote like a lib. Bet you aren't reelected traitor!"

"SHAME ON YOU, SCOTT BROWN!" read another. "YOU LIED! SHAME!! NO MORE RINOS!!!"

3. Reality? Meet the Tea Baggers.

Funny thing is, that the people who will be helped most by the bill are probably demented Tea Baggers who are complaining about Brown's vote.
