Let this be a lesson to you Scott Brown

Bipartisanship only means agreeing with Democrats. It doesn't matter how much you "compromise" with them they will never go for anything you want.

Democrats voted Thursday to defeat the first piece of legislation offered by Sen. Scott Brown, despite a plea from the newly elected lawmaker for bipartisanship.

The Senate voted 56 to 44 to derail an amendment sponsored by Brown (R-Mass.) that would have allocated $80 billion in unobligated stimulus funds to pay for a tax cut for 130 million people in the workforce.
The amendment failed when senators voted to enforce a procedural objection Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) raised against the measure. A majority voted to sustain the motion.

In his first Senate floor speech, Brown asked Democrats to support his proposal, reminding them he was the first Republican to vote for a $15 billion jobs package offered by Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).

Brown and four other Republicans voted for the Reid jobs bill, giving Senate Democrats their biggest bipartisan legislative victory of the year.

Brown asked his colleagues to return the favor.

I don't understand how people like Scott Brown can actually think the Democrats will work together with him. Democrats believe compromise is agreeing with them and nothing less.

Imagine if a Democrat...

In a heavily Republican state raised an astounding $13 million in what should have been a safe seat for the Republicans. Which is exactly what Scott Brown did in the process of derailing Martha Coakley in Massachusetts.

Brown raised so much late money - about $1 million a day via the Internet at the end - that he couldn’t spend it all. He ended the campaign with an estimated $4 million in his campaign account, spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said. The campaign’s original budget was $1.2 million, but it ultimately raised about $13 million. With a flush campaign account, Brown will enter office in a stronger position to defend against an almost certain challenge in 2012.

If the roles were reversed and the Democrat had out raised and won a seat in a Republican state the media would be going crazy. The talking points would be how the Republican party is failing the country. How the people have seen the light and the trend is going to be towards an overwhelming support nation wide of Democrats.

But of course we won't see any of that from the main steam media.
