The Service Employees International Union is up with a new ad in the Massachusetts special Senate election, reminding voters in this Democratic state that GOP candidate Scott Brown is a Republican -- and tying him to the Tea Parties and Sarah Palin.
"He calls himself independent, but voted with Republican leadership 96% of the time," the announcer says. "Brown has repeatedly opposed a woman's right to choose. And now the Globe says Brown expresses skepticism that climate change is being caused by humans."
"No wonder Brown's campaign is being supported by the same extremist group that backs Sarah Palin."

Seriously, this guy is has voted with Republicans 96% of the time and is a womb chaser and climate change denier. He sounds like the other 40 Republican Senators who wasted all of 2009 helping blue dogs stall every piece of legislation that Dems tried to pass. The worst offense to me, was holding up unemployment extensions over ACORN. Then, when the vote was finally taken it passed 90-0. The Republicans were losing 700,000 jobs a month by 2008 yet, they refused to help the very people they screwed over. I hope the people of Massachusetts arent' that stupid!

OMG! A Republican who votes ... with REPUBLICANS! Who woulda thunk it?
Has it possibly, just maybe, occurred to you yet that the nation is rejecting this Congress and this administration, and your man is tanking in the polls, because of the destructive path they are taking this country down? And that guys like Brown are necessary to stop the bleeding, NOW!?
By the way, Democrats were in charge of Congress in 2008, and thus the finances. Moron.

None of that matters. Voting for Brown is a vote for Snowe and Collins really because Brown is a party line No vote, it makes Snowe and/or Collins the "kingmaker". In order for the dems to do anything they'd have to bring in one Republican and that's what the centrists/independents want - they're scared of the Dem filibuster-proof majority. This is why the White House wanted Snowe so bad - to send the message that the 60 seats was nothing. The White House wanted to use the 60 seat majority for the out-of-the-spotlight bills, but wanted to have bi-partisan support on the big bills so the 60 seat super majority wouldn't be a campaign point for the GOP.
