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."
