FLIP-FLOP Bullshit ALERT: Scott Brown NOW Attacks GOP Medicare Plan He Recently PRAISED




:smoke: :smoke: :smoke:

The media should be roasting Scott Brown over hot coals with this Republican's public FLIP-FLOP over Paul Ryan's budget proposal.

He is nothing but a finger-in-mouth Republican bullshit artist and should be taken to task daily over his NEW position. Its a win, win for Dems if they do.





" Within less than a month, Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) has gone from thanking God that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) had proposed phasing out Medicare to penning a blistering op-ed explaining why he now opposes the idea.



Brown now says he'll vote against the House GOP budget when Democrats bring it up for a vote in the Senate, completing the walkback he began shortly after he said he'd vote for the plan. He explains his final views in a Monday Politico op-ed, becoming the first high-profile, moderate Republican to actively explain his opposition -- and his critique sounds an awful lot like the one Democrats are making.



"I cannot support his specific plan -- and therefore will vote "no" on his budget," Brown writes. "First, I fear that as health inflation rises, the cost of private plans will outgrow the government premium support-- and the elderly will be forced to pay ever higher deductibles and co-pays. Protecting those who have been counting on the current system their entire adult lives should be the key principle of reform."

1. Virtually every GOP politician will do a "Newt" on this issue...
They have seen the polls and after any primaries they will all do an amazing double twisting full gainer to try to evade responsibility.

3. If the primaries don't get him, the GE will.
You can't be on both sides of this issue.
