Scott Brown Voted Against Giving Help To 9/11 Recovery Workers

One month after the September 11th attacks, Scott Brown was one of only three Massachusetts State Representatives to vote against a bill to provide financial assistance to Red Cross workers who had volunteered with 9/11 recovery efforts, we’ve learned.

The Brown campaign acknowledged the vote to us, claiming the measure would have taxed already-strained state finances.

1. You can scream this from a mountaintop and no one will ask him about it.

2. I know, but dont hope the media will ask him about that or even report it.

Right now, media, and blogs are busy criticizing Democrats, or the MA Democratic candidates, as if they wanted her to lose.

As for the Democrats, they are busy either screwing up ads http://www.salon.com/news/politics/2010_elections/index.html?story=/politics/war_room/2010/01/15/dscc_ad or telling the media that she has lost and how they will pass HCR without her.

I don't buy it. What's going on is similar to the dreadful behavior of the Dem party during the 2004, and for that matter, the 2000, presidential election. Democrats had two candidates who were both vastly superior in every way, shape, and form, to their Republican rival (a manifestly incompetent sociopath named George W. Bush). There campaigns were mishandled when they weren't simply unsupported. Their efforts were all but deliberately undermined. Could Gore and Kerry have been better candidates? Sure, they made mistakes, but the lack of genuinely serious support and defense that they received from the Dem party was, imo, decisive.

And here are the Democrats, working overtime to help Coakley not only lose, but lose really fucking badly. This is completely inexcusable political malpractice. But I'll bet there are a few commenters who will find a way to excuse this, or dismiss it as a trivial error, or place the fault with Coakley.

3. The media is on a roll, and the only thing it is selling is that this guy will win......

that's our media for us......

That's why the GOP are so wrong yet so strong.

4. Is the Coakley campaign using this?
