Scott Brown: Welcome to my temporary website

[ProSense]

Welcome to my temporary website:

I am honored and humbled to have the privilege to serve the people of Massachusetts as your United States Senator. I am developing a permanent website with more information and resources that will allow you to interact with me. In the meantime, I hope you will find this temporary site helpful in communicating with my office.

Senator Scott Brown Statement On Financial Regulatory Reform Vote:

“I was hopeful that both sides would have reached a bi-partisan agreement by today that protects the safety of our financial system, as well as the interests of taxpayers and consumers. My vote is not a vote against financial reform; instead it’s a vote to insist that the parties continue bi-partisan negotiations to come up with a commonsense bill we can all be proud of.

“As currently written, the legislation contains loopholes that could leave the taxpayers on the hook for future bailouts of Wall Street. This bill would also hurt jobs in Massachusetts, including small start-up businesses that did not contribute to the economic crisis and are the job-creating engines that will get our economy moving again.

“With millions of Americans affected by the financial crisis, this issue is too important to play political games with or rush through Congress along party lines. There are serious problems with this legislation that must be fixed and I remain hopeful that a bi-partisan agreement can be reached soon.”

Senate passes jobless aid package. Scott Brown votes against it.

April 15:

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The US Senate on Thursday passed a two-month extension of unemployment benefits, overcoming Republican opposition that stalled the aid package when the programs expired at the end of March.

Lawmakers voted 59-38 to approve the measure, which now goes to the House of Representatives. Approval there would send the bill to President Barack Obama to sign into law.

<...>

The legislation, estimated to cost 18 billion dollars, also extends a stopgap health insurance program, a small business loan program, satellite television licensing, and national flood insurance.

Republicans had opposed the measure on grounds that it was not paid for, and would swell the ballooning US deficit.

Dear Scott, you're a tool. Don't get comfortable.

[MUAD_DIB]

1. I have a great name for an anti-Brown website.

[rgbecker]

2. Scotty boy, Votes for Cloture, but against the benefits for unemployed.

Scott, you are so concerned now about how its going to be paid for, yet none of that mattered when going after the non-existent WMDs. I can't wait for another chance to vote against you. Meanwhile I'll call you weekly, you naked torturer.

[ProSense]

5. It's one thing to vote to move the debate. It's another thing entirely

to vote against a package that extends unmployment benefits, COBRA and small business loans, and then turn around and vote against financial reform claiming it would "hurt jobs in Massachusetts, including small start-up businesses."

Scott is a disingenuous tool.




edited for clarity.

3. Parsing Scotty

Thus saith the newest Sith Lord-in-training:

“I was hopeful that both sides would have reached a bi-partisan agreement by today that protects the safety of our financial system, as well as the interests of taxpayers and consumers. My vote is not a vote against financial reform; instead it’s a vote to insist that the parties continue bi-partisan negotiations to come up with a commonsense bill we can all be proud of."

What he really means:
I can't be bipartisan because that would be bad for the Republicans. So, I have to find a way to pretend to be bipartisan because then I can tell people in MA that I really, really, really wanted to vote against Wall Street, but those mean Democrats wouldn't let me because they wouldn't agree with me on what the bill means. How can anyone be bipartisan with all these Democrats looking for you to vote with them? And my Master, Dark Lord Mitch McConnell, didn't give me permission to pretend to be for it because that would defeat the purpose of pretending that that we have bipartisan support against it. Got that?

“As currently written, the legislation contains loopholes that could leave the taxpayers on the hook for future bailouts of Wall Street. This bill would also hurt jobs in Massachusetts, including small start-up businesses that did not contribute to the economic crisis and are the job-creating engines that will get our economy moving again.

What he really means:
And cost Massachusetts hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lost jobs. I know this because the same people who estimate teabagger crowds, estimated the job losses from regulating the financial industry in MA. And they wouldn't lie, would they?

“With millions of Americans affected by the financial crisis, this issue is too important to play political games with or rush through Congress along party lines. There are serious problems with this legislation that must be fixed and I remain hopeful that a bi-partisan agreement can be reached soon.”

What he really means:
Billions of Americans, most in Massachusetts, could be affected by job losses if we regulate the people who caused the recession. And recessions are bad, because they cause job losses. And we should hold government accountable for not regulating the poor people who caused this recession by trying to borrow money to meet small business payrolls or pay for their mortgages. And I, for one, am taking a lonely stand in the Senate, with all my Republican fellows, to stand up for the misunderstood banking community that has nothing to do with Wall Street. Because I believe in bipartisanship, as long as I don't have to vote with Democrats. And I would vote with Democrats, but The Dark Lord said I am still just a Sith Lord-in-training and the training wheels can't come off yet.

Beam me up Scotty! (Sit Scotty, sit. Good dog.)

4. LOL! He's a tool. Did you notice that on his site his statements skip

any mention that he voted against the actual jobs bill?

[karynnj]

7. LOL

Translating Brown has to be hard work!

[wisteria]

8. LOL, you sum him up well.

What a suck up too. "Honored and Humbled" How long can he keep up with the aw-shucks you picked me persona?

[blm]

13. You should post that on its own so Skinner can FRONT PAGE it. KO and Rachel need to see this.

.

[Cha]

18. Poor Scotty..caught between voting like a teabagger &

lying to the people of Mass out of the other side.

The Dem challenger in two years is going to have some fantastic material for campaign ads against one scott brown,fraud.

[karynnj]

6. I can't believe he repeated the claim that was pretty thoroughly

debunked of job losses from the bill.

I'm not surprised that he still has a temporary web site. It seems that changes tend to take a long time. What was poor was how bad his temporary site is. At least he added the contact information after various MA blogs asked for it for weeks.

[dmr]

9. He may be personable, but he doesn't seem very bright, and my take

on the people of Mass. is that the people are smarter.

[Orsino]

15. Senatorial elections don't often select for intelligence.

He's handsome, and once owned a truck. Isn't that enough?

[rasputin1952]

10. LOL..."I am developing a permanent website..."

Don't bother, you are only warming the seat until the next election. You'll be gone soon enough...in the mean time, keep making an ass of yourself, and BTW...your truck sucks!...:rofl:

[ProSense]

16. LOL!

Should leave the temporary line.

[Mass]

11. So, he is for reform, but votes against. He is for extending unemployment benefits, but votes

against it, he is for helping kids get a job during the summer, but votes against it.

What else?

[BeyondGeography]

12. B-b-b-b-but Mark Halperin says he's a political stuporstar

[beachmom]

14. Still doesn't have a website up, huh?

[tallahasseedem]

17. And enjoy your temporary job Brown...

You wont even have warmed your seat before voters toss your ass out.

[activa8tr]

19. His web site is full of stupid shit just like he is. Doesn't even load fully.

I hope Massachusetts gets to boot him out and he goes down forever, to the land of the hasbeen's and also-ran's.

It's a SHIT site, with hardly any info on programs, (like Mass Flood disaster loans money, which he got his face on TV for about 6 times after the floods.)

Did you notice all the stuff is all about HIM?????

He's a poor little rich boy, fits the part perfectly.
