I know full well what Scott Brown is. I question whether he continues to be this right of center republican, when the party line seems to be much further to the right (but still left of Scottw and detbush )

Yes, if he does stick to his ideals, and is willing to work across party lines NOT acquiesce, but actually do what he thinks is right, then yes, it will be beter for all of us. We need MORE of that on both sides. This overly divided house and senate is not good for any of us. You have the republicans with their hands over there ears singing -la-la-la-can't hear you-la-la-la to everything, and the Democrats are saying "I'm going to take my toys, and your toys and do what I want with them". neither is good for the country.

I'm comparing how he was portrayed during the campaign(did you miss all of the ads???) to all of the whining and hoping and revisionism that now exists here and among the press and talking heads that he now prove that he is not any of what he supposedly was and not become a tool of the radical right wingers... which is pretty funny and predictable...Al Franken was also seated recently and I don't remember any calls for Al to be bi-partisan, reach across the aisle and be more of a centrist and not just fall in "lock step" with the dem leadership which is the ONLY DEMONSTRABLE RADICALISM THAT YOU CAN POINT TO AT THE MOMENT!!!!!

you have a party engaged in the destruction and take over of the private sector, a president that has determined that the result of the recent election is simply a function of the fact that he didn't talk enough and Americans didn't understand him so today he's out talking...again......JUST WORDS!!!! Mr. President

more bi-partisanship, as the dems would define it would be the republicans helping to move their insane agenda along.....F them!

but let's hope that Scott Brown is a good little centrist and on and on...gimme a break...

hey Rock...just for fun...name an issue where my views would be considered far right wing......

I'll help you with the biggies, if you believe recent polls my views are in line with the majority of Americans regarding..size and scope of government, taxes, business regulation, abortion, global warming/climate change, healthcare, immigration...according to the polls this is still a center-right country...I must be a real freakin' radical teabagger...

now compare that to someone that wants ever larger and more intrusive government, universal healthcare, global warming/climate change legislation, publically funded abortions, greater government regulation and taxation on businesses...amnesty and open borders...I think this describes many dems and most of the representatives that they've elected based on what we are witnessing...

I would bet I could find polls that put the majority with me as well.
polls are like our opinions, we all have one, and everyone else thinks theirs doesn't stink.

You really believe you are the dead center bellwether for Americans?
I know I'm left of it, but come on...

I didn't say I was dead center...
oh...almost forgot...I'm also with the majority of Americans regarding Obama's job approval as of the most recent poll

and I agree with 77% of investors(and Warren Buffett apparently) that Obama is anti-business...which shoud bode well for the economy and job creation...but surely those milions and millions of "GREEN JOBS" will fill the void and solve all of our problems

So a year later.

Has he lived up to his killing of Obamacare?
What about his leadership?
Getting on those tough issues?
Driving the pickup truck?

[RIJIMMY]

understood, thanks for clarifying

[RIJIMMY]

he voted to fund the functioning of the govt and likwid said he thought he was against govt funding, thats pretty funny

I think hes been a reasonable republican, hes voted against the party line. Way more than you can say for 99% of the dem sentators that voted lock step with Obama until they saw the polls and results of the mid-terms and went wee wee wee all the way home

As of Dec. 1 (couldn't find more recent data), Scott Brown holds a 53% Favorable rating and only 29% Unfavorable.

Not too bad for a Republican Senator in a strongly Democratic state.
