    Scott Brown was the dude elected to stop ObamaCare with a filibuster vote, but afterward the Democrats just called it a budget reconciliation bill and passed it anyhow without having to go through Senate channels for the final bill.

    That guy? Meh.

    And a lot of Democrats want her to run for president in 4 years, what a joke.

    Scott Brown is a good man. One of the only people in the Senate to actually reach across the aisle. He's also a harbinger of things to come. The national electorate will look like Massachusetts' in a few years. The GOP's idea of a "conservative" will be Scott Brown and a "moderate" will have the views of Elizabeth Warren.

    Scott Brown voted against the Paycheck Fairness Act. He voted against renewing the Violence Against Women Act. He voted for the Blunt Amendment, which would have let employers' veto employees' birth control. I am not sure how he got this "reach across the aisle" rep, as he voted for nearly every filibuster to block either a bill or a nominee that had majority, but not 60 vote majority, support. He lost to Elizabeth Warren, former Harvard professor and consumer advocate. He did so by ridiculing her education (in a state with more colleges per capita than any other), her looks, and her heritage. He claimed he "knew" she was not Native American by looking at her, although her mother is half Native American. His supporters jeered her with fake Native "war whoops". Essentially, he ran like a high school in crowd jock kid against a nerd. Which works in high school. It did not work in Massachusetts.

    I am reminded of the saying, sometimes attributed to Bill Gates although in fact he did not say it, "Be kind to nerds. You'll probably end up working for one."

    I think Elizabeth Warren will be a fabulous senator; in fact, I donated to her campaign, something I very rarely do, even though I live in California. Not surprised the jock boys on this board don't like her. I'm sure her constituents will.

    To replace Ted Kennedy, Scott Brown defeated Martha Coakley, a fascist crooked prosecutor. (Just read her Wikipedia biography.) Republicans squealed with glee, but the liberal had won. The Republican was more liberal than the Democrat.

    Now, he loses to Warren, because this time, the Democrat is more liberal than the Republican. I like the way both elections went.

    Please provide a link demonstrating Elizabeth Warren's mother was half Cherokee. It was demonstrably proven she wasn't. She doesn't have a drop of injun blood in her. However, she applied as an American Indian to get jobs at Penn and Harvard. When she got tenure, she dropped it and recognized she was white. She's a liar and a fraud...which I guess makes her perfect for the US Senate.

    This post is so full of shit. Warren herself claimed she was only 1/32 Cherokee.

    Inform yourself. Your long-winded posts are embarrassing.

    Calling out a lie isn't being mean.

    I cringe when I attempt to read one of crandc's hateful posts.

    Your language is as loaded as hers is though. Take the higher road, man.
