Bipartisanship...AT LAST !

[tech2101]

You guys do know that this bill didn't pass any final vote.

It was merely a procedural cloture vote, to open it to debate on the floor.

The final vote won't happen till next week.

Pfff............theres nothing more embarrassing then you Obama fanboys wetting themselves over this vote. Like thats really gonna matter come this fall and in 2012.

I guess that means you were wrong.

Wasn't wrong about anything. It was from the date of the article link. Me thinks your avatar doesn't suit your actual intelligence. Nice try tho. Perhaps Homer Simpson would be more appropriate. Keep wishing tho.

My "Great Right Hope" thread was merged into this one.

The point I was trying to make was not about bipartisanship, but that the Tea Party is over for Scott Brown.

Here are some excerpts from an article that captures that sentiment:

Scott Brown's 'tea party' fans feel burned by jobs vote

Literally overnight, the fledgling Republican senator who ended Democrats' filibuster-proof majority by winning a special election in Massachusetts has gone from being the darling of America's conservative activists to being their goat.

Cries of "letdown," "betrayal," "sellout," and "RINO" -- "Republican in name only" -- flew around Twitter. By late Tuesday afternoon, more than 4,200 people had left comments on Brown's Facebook page, most harshly negative. (And liberals engaged in some cyber-schadenfreude at the same time.)

Just five days earlier, Brown had been cheered loudly by conservative activists at a gathering in Washington. He was so warmly received that some in the crowd began suggesting he could be another Ronald Reagan and help usher in a new era of conservatism.

Tea party and other conservative activists felt particularly let down by Brown's Monday vote because many of them had poured money and manpower into his underdog bid to capture the Senate seat long occupied by liberal icon Edward M. Kennedy.

By Monday night, many of his Twitter followers had concluded that a White House run had become out of the question -- even as he entered Day 19 of his Senate tenure.

One vote and its time to hang him?

LOL

You guys show your superior intellect.

 

[Garfield1966]

From what I have read it is not the dems going off half cocked on this guy but rather the conservative right. They wanted someone who would toe the line every time without exception. That is not what they seemed to have received and some of them are a bit ticked off.

Senate approves tax breaks for new hires

WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats Wednesday delivered the first of several promised election-year jobs bills, passing a measure blending tax breaks for companies that hire unemployed workers with highway funding eagerly sought by the states.

The bipartisan 70-28 vote to pass the bill sends it to the House...

Scott Brown: Is The Honeymoon Over?

Excerpts:

Christen Varley, for example, the president of the Greater Boston Tea Party who a month ago took credit for Brown's win, plans to give the senator a piece of her mind.

"He's going to hear from us," Varley told the Boston Herald. "In the end, this is stimulus spending -- and it's a disappointment."

Just last month, Varley said her group had sent 150 people to a Brown fund-raiser during his campaign. "I spent the next two days saying, if you like Scott Brown, go out and spread the word,'' Varley said. "That's what they did. And it exploded.''

Glenn Beck piled on last night... "Some tea party members probably woke up this morning and threw up just a little bit in their mouths when they read the news," Beck said. "'We took him in, we helped him get a victory, and now this?'"

His own words from Veritas source:

"I came to Washington to be an independent voice, to put politics aside, and to do everything in my power to help create jobs for Massachusetts families," he said in part. "This Senate jobs bill is not perfect. I wish the tax cuts were deeper and broader, but I am voting for it because it contains measures that will help put people back to work."

Also note:

But Brown had never promised to be the GOP's cloture-proof vote against every Democratic effort. He repeatedly portrayed himself as an independent, an outsider. And his staff is continuing to push that image of the new senator.

Did he think the conservative right support came with out restrictions?

 

[The Man]

A politician votes for something that he thinks is best for the people he represents. What a concept.

"Democrats get the 60th vote bribing Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., and on top of the bribe a lie about how much she was bribed for her vote. How corrupt is the current administration?"
