2. Once again, too busy to do the right thing.
Here is his explanation: too busy

http://www.baywindows.com/index.php?ch=news&sc=glbt&sc2=news&sc3=&id=122733
"Scott Brown has a strong record at the state and federal level against bullying and believes that all people regardless of sexual orientation should be treated with dignity and respect," Colin Reed, Brown’s press secretary, said. "His main focus right now is on creating jobs and getting our economy back on track."

3. Maybe it takes him a long time to decide his non-position on every issue
Edited on Wed Jul-27-11 05:13 PM by karynnj
Seriously, given that they were recorded separately, how long could it have taken?

This excuse pretty high on the not convincing list. (Not to mention, his last exercise was to loudly and with great press sign on as a co-sponsor to the Small Business Jobs bill --- which he later (far more quietly) filibustered. This in spite of there being no amendment that he voted against changing the bill.Likely anger that the Democrats killed the gut the EPA amendments and did not vote on a Republican amendment that would have rescinded all unspent stimulus funds. (Funds that SHOULD be used to create jobs.)

4. a late "off to the greatest with thee!" k&r! this is great, and Scott Brown's excuse is laughable
like he's not capable of being taped anywhere for a few seconds saying something positive to bullied youth.

Get him out, MA, you can do it! It's really a must win considering other losses we may face.

:kick:

6. Kick
Edited on Thu Jul-28-11 05:59 PM by politicasista
Saw this yesterday. Somebody on his Facebook page was wondering where Senator Kerry's voice was on this issue. He wrote the piece about the boy (Springfield, me thinks) that was bullied and took his own young life. :(

This video was well done a for really good cause/project and boo to the B. Glob for smearing Mr. Savage because people dared to question Porno Brown for being M.I.A.!


:kick: :patriot: :hi:






edit: "dared to question," not "picked"

7. Thank you for the kick and...
...the backgound info. I (the mom and teacher) was impressed that he (and the others) stood up so publicly for kids. We need more of that in this country. :hi:
