Our junior Senator was one of 4 Republican Senators who voted for cloture on a bill extending unemployment benefits to about 400,00 American workers. The vote will allow the measure to come to the floor for a vote. Thanks to Senator Brown for putting people over politics.
You have to give credit where it is due and Senator Brown has lived up to his pledge to be independent in this case.

Extending benefits is good; but why is the Democrat Majority opposed to paying for it. There is plenty of left over stimulus money that could be used to pay the tab rather than further increasing the debt.
Bill, You may find yourself giving this guy more credit in the future even though it goes against your liberal grain. I think Massachusetts Republicans are the best kind of Republicans. Health care reform for example, which is a joke but a baby step in the right direction, was first accomplished by Mitt. MA Republicans seem to buck their party where it counts and hold the line on some of the things that make sense. The right to keep arms for example, is where they should and do follow the party line. What moron in the democratic party decided to make gun control a party issue. Out of touch liberal elites may be afraid of guns but to a majority of Americans, guns are just another tool like table saws and barbecue grills. Wouldn't it be silly to make an issue out banning barbecue grills because some number of people get burned while lighting them each year.
Maybe if we elect republicans from blue states and democrats from red states, we will get people who have had the other parties agenda force fed to them long enough to know which parts of it taste good.
