WALTHAM -- Fresh off his vote against the Obama administration’s $450 billion jobs plan, Republican Senator Scott Brown told the region’s small business leaders today that both Democrat and Republican efforts to fix the ailing US economy are doomed.

Brown said the nation is in the throes of a financial emergency, yet hobbled by political obstructionism that he called “disgusting.”
...
Brown, the featured speaker at an annual meeting of the Smaller Business Association of New England, told more than 300 business leaders that he supported President Obama’s payroll tax cut for employers and employees; a tax credit for hiring veterans; and ending to the 3 percent withholding tax charged to any business that receives a federal contract.
...
Asked during a question and anwer period about his political philosophy, Brown responded, “It truly is me against the machine. ... I’m not going to be part of this go along to get along mentality.”

So, he votes against cloture and he complains about obstructionism? Seriously?

I have never thought our junior senator was a bright bulb, but even him should be able to understand what is ludicrous in his position.

4. Have they any shame

after long last, do they not have one shred of decency left in them? :puke:

*I initially wondered if this was an Onion article but, sadly, it's not. It is clear now that Brown should resign from the Senate as he is clearly part of the problem NOT the solution. :banghead:
