Senator Brown: “I’m Here to Do the People’s Business”
Senator Scott Brown arrived in Washington DC this morning to meet with fellow senators.
The state-run media was there to greet him and ask him, “Are you comfortable with that image of “The Party of No” or will you work with democrats?”
(How’s that for media bias?)
Welcome to Washington:
Senator-elect Scott Brown, who won Ted Kennedy’s seat for the Republicans, arrived in Washington Thursday to get acquainted with his new work place, where he vowed to work across party lines.
This guy is good…
Media: Do you think Republicans will have to operated differently now that you’ve become the 41st vote in the Senate?
Scott Brown: I think everyone is the 41st vote now. It’s not just Republicans. It’s not just in Massachusetts by around the country, the lack of transparency and backroom deals and lack of solving problems is getting old. They want us to take care of the people’s business.
Media: Are you comfortable with that image of the “party of no” or would you like to work with democrats more on their legislation?
Scott Brown: I’m from Massachusetts where 85% of the delegation is democrat. And, I have a history of working across party lines.

Scott, you don’t need to cater to the Democrats, you need to work for the people. BE the face of the new way of doing business in Washinton.
Picric commented:
All I ask is that you stand in Washington, on the same values that you campaigned on. That will be a vast improvement on others.

Ignorant media. It seems they are clueless. Mass said no. What is it about no that was so hard to understand?
randyinrocklin commented:
Please dont be another McCain! cuz you’re sounding like him.

I believe Brown can handle the MSM. He seems to be focused and knows who and what he is. Any man who drives a truck with more than 200,000 miles on it to make campaign appearances is well grounded.
I propose the media is absolutely mystified by this ethic…you know, keeping your cars, trucks, appliances, etc until they can’t be repaired or fixed any more. I think they are going to be surprised. They are getting used to the WH’s never ending parties and MO’s expensive clothing bills.
Just keep looking forward, Scott, and pay no attention to the media who would love to see you fail.

Mass has mandated health care…he voted for it….he likes it….covering mitt’s you know…..
Corporal Vere commented:
Typical liberals: their response to anyone that disagrees with their stupid ideas and ruinous policies her/his mother wears combat boots; and then lie about her/him.
That’s all they have: lies and insults.
And they’re beyond stupid. They can’t perceive that real (people that work and produce and live outside DC) people see through their nonsense.
marroons.
Joel commented:
I accept that fact that our media is unAmerican and that they are more interested in politics than profits.
Greg commented:
The Party of “NO”? Would that be the the party that tried to offer over 100+ amendments to the Health Care Fiasco, got a few approved with bipartisan support only to have them eliminated after Dingy Harry took it behind closed doors to make it conform to the DemocRATS “Party Of No” propaganda? Sure can’t have anything in the bill that would prove that Mantra For The Masses to be a lie.
shibumi commented:
I have no problem being associated with a party that says “NO” to plans that would indeed destroy our nation.
wow commented:
Off topic: we can do this one seat at a time

And I too have no problem saying “NO”!
exceller commented:
I’m really concerned now that the current attempt has failed, that there will be pressure on Republicans to help find a compromise that will pass. I feel very strongly that this would be a huge mistake. We must not let this bunch pass any reform. They had their shot and they blew it. They CANNOT be trusted. NO major reform of health care should even be considered this year. it can only happen after the next election. Republicans must be the party of no this year. They must keep this issue and use it to take over the house in the fall. Any bill that comes out of this congress would be a loser.
Dell commented:
I no longer am a member of the “party of no”. I have joined “HELL NO”.
Scott commented:
If Democrats try to pass stupid bills, Republicans are going to try their best to say “NO.” Deal with it.
Joanne commented:
The Democrats have no interest in working with the Republicans when they don’t have to, and they haven’t been up to this point.
By the way, Scott Brown is pro-abortion – what a disappointment, but at least he doesn’t think they aren’t any terrorists in Afghanistan or that the Taliban are not harboring terrorists, being that they are terrorists themselves. I guess you have to take the good with the bad.
Atomic Lib Smasher commented:
Joanne, I dunno about that. The head of the Massachusetts (un)Planned Parenthood endorsed Croakley and said “There is nothing that I can see that demonstrates that he would support abortion rights,’’
Although from his campaign site it said he’s basically not looking to overturn Roe but wants to reduce abortions and also believes in parental notification (which the left is against) and is against partial birth abortion (which quite a few leftists are for)…. hopefully his stance will evolve even more and he’ll do the right thing when it comes down to it on every vote.
We’ll be watching him for sure, but for one, am glad he’s gonna be the 41st vote (if the Dims who have their feet held to the fire don’t also vote against HCR) against Obamacare.

Those loaded questions from our “fourth estate” ,would make Bagdad Bob proud.
Stand your ground Mr. Brown and vote no on any proposal that would put this Nation at risk.
Derak commented:
At 1:48 in the tape, check out how he subtly “poses” for the camera. Then “click”. He’s gonna eat these reporters alive.
He knows how to play this game.
His wife, no doubt, has coached him well.
Game on.
marie commented:
I sure saw a few starry-eyed female reporters in the crowd.
