Scott Brown: Is He Stupid or Corrupt?

In one of the greatest upsets in modern political history, the people of Massachusetts, sick and tired of the free spending, economy destroying ways of Obama and Democrats in Washington, came together to elect Republican Scott Brown to take over Ed Kennedy’s old Senate seat with the intention of ushering in a new age of federal fiscal responsibility.

But what a sorry joke that has turned out to be… instead of acting as a brake to the Obama agenda that the people had thought they voted for, Brown has become a bigger enabler to the President’s anti-business policies than the guy who shows up to an AA meeting with a bottle of gin. The ink wasn’t even dry on the election certificate before the self-described “fiscally conservative” candidate turned his back on the Massachusetts electorate and joined with Democrats to pass Obama’s “jobs” bill. He has tried to maintain his so-called conservative credentials by questioning the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” and claiming he doesn’t support comprehensive energy reform that contains carbon emission limits, but who really knows what this man will do when push comes to shove? It seems to me that whenever a Democrat bill makes it to the Senate floor, Brown can’t wait to hit the “Aye” button.

Brown’s latest act of conservative betrayal

Brown’s latest act of conservative betrayal was his clinching vote for the monstrous 2,500 page financial reform bill that contains liberal nonsense like minority and gender hiring quotas for financial firms, union representation on corporate boards, and not one single mention of the actual cause of the economic meltdown, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. It took the Junior Senator, not widely known as a legislative genius --the term “dumb as a bag of rocks” comes to mind -- just over half a year to become expert enough in financial regulations to rewrite laws that govern our world leading economy. To think the former beefcake model with seven whole months on the job has the slightest idea what consequences the 500 regulations contained within the bill will have upon our financial system is laughable. So the question remains: Why would Brown vote for legislation that he is clearly nowhere near capable of fully understanding? Answer: Money. It would appear the good Senator’s votes are driven more by desire for personal gain than genuine concern for the public’s well being. He no doubt understands that fundraising in the liberal bastion of Massachusetts as a Republican would be next to impossible, but if he talks like a Republican and votes like a Democrat, well that’s a whole different ball of wax. I can picture Obama and other Democrat leaders whispering in Brown’s ear that if he supports the liberal agenda, endless riches and influence will be his. And if not, well… good luck trying to raise money from the Tea Party crowd since your name is now garbage in Republican circles. So Brown takes a page out of the Obama playbook and ignores the promises he made during his campaign, becoming not the voice of conservatism that voters had hoped he would be, but just another lying Democrat turncoat that he clearly is.
