B-partisanship works better than 1 party ruling. Liberals and Dems only want their party in power. Wake up and smell the corruption. IT's here in MA and has been for 56 years with a 1 party legislature.

Cindy, brown is a conservative, a center to right candidate, he reads bills, work across the aisle, but his instincts are conservative dear. would I prefer to have a Democrat full time? NO. Elizabeth Warren will vote for every spending bill, will have no concern for our deficit. Just listen to her commercials, she says right there. Invest(spend) in infrastructure like China. Our government is holding a liability of ONE TRILLION dollars in student loan debt, yet in her commercial she calls for more investing(spending) in education, I guess ONE TRILLION dollars isn't enough investing. I'll take the center candidate over the liberal, we might have a shot in containing our fiscal insanity.

I doubt that Brown actually reads bills, given how much time he spends asking Wall Street for money. He may have them read to him . Who needs to read them when you already plan to fote against it? Scooter has done a miserable job of representing Massachusetts. Let another state elect him.

If you do not know he is a Republican than do not vote - ur too stupid to have that privelage

Cindy, I agree. Further, electing Brown again will only worsen the country's problems, because tax cuts are the be-all and end-all of Republican policy. Really delusional. People should remember that George W. Bush hit the road with TWO tax cuts for the wealthy, TWO wars run on credit and gave birth to the Great Republican Recession, all the while blowing the Clinton surplus and plunging us into a deficit we still enjoy. Republicans, and Scott Brown, constantly complain that we are still "bailing out" instead of having a robust economy. President Obama inherited a boat taking on water. The only thing left to do was keep bailing it out. Little did he know that the Republicans were adding more water just as fast. Brown will add to the ballast. After this election, should he win, IMHO, he will be a staunch Republican where it matters: Supreme Court, Affordable Health Care, cut taxes for the wealthy, reduce (if not eliminate) regulations and go back to the Quanternary Period of development. He is woefully out of touch with Massachusetts Democrats, and if the MassDems know what's good for them, they will get on the stick to defeat him where he lives: on the positions he has taken, BW (before Warren) and AW (after Warren.) They are very different. Start spending some of that money effectively, Elizabeth!

I don't want a full-time Democrat any more than I want a full-time Republican. Ideally, I would like someone who considers issues individually, votes his conscience, and does not react according to a dictated party playbook. How could that not be better than a legislature full of interchangeable cogs, some red, some blue. A legislator that does not pretend to believe what everyone else in a given political party believes is a legislator that I can begin to believe in. Political parties are crutches for voters who cannot be bothered to arrive at their own beliefs and are very often used by politicians to create the appearance of difference where behavior does not show any. Coke and Pepsi are 98% the same thing; so are Democrats and Republicans, when you look at the way they behave once they get in office.

The point is that Scott Brown doesn't want us to think he would ever 'etch a sketch' or flip a flop. O absolutely not! I am BIPARTISAN! Unfortunately, in the "accomplish NOTHING while Obama is President" US Congress, being bipartisan is a complete joke. Point to anything that Senator Brown is doing to influence compromise, reduce polarization and add jobs to our economy. Just not there. And migh dear, the real lesson about our federal deficit is that it is not a good idea to fight two 10 year wars and cut taxes at the same time. When we rely on our brave young men and women to defend us in battle, and then the rest of us fail to have any sense of sacrifice for this effort, fail to consider that collectively, we, as a PEOPLE, should maybe pay a little more, so that that when our soldiers come home, we are not greeting them with a miserable economy and we are not telling them that they will have to wait until they are 68 or 70 to be eligible for retirement and health benefits, like Romney, Ryan and Grover Norquist's puppet Scott Brown have planned for them (and you and me too). There can be no real deficit reduction without some increase in federal revenue. Maybe Brown should talk with former well respected and authentic bipartisan Republican Senator Alan Simpson who characterizes the Norquist approach as 'no taxes under any conditions, even if your country is going to hell."
