Scott Brown is prime example of the GOP devouring one of their own.
I've never seen such a visceral reaction like this before. Not even Lieberman gets this much hell for his votes.

1. I've seen plenty of it on DU
Look at nearly any Obama thread. Same crap, different party.

4. Hell, I saw it when Bernie Sanders and Russ Feingold
said they would support the Senate healthcare bill.

Suddenly they were public enemies.

13. He's the leader of the nutburger brigade.
He is to the Left what Tom Tancredo is to the Right.

starting today.

3. That was a relatively safe vote for him; who can argue about jobs? He signs his name "41"
so we shall see how he acts on a lot of other republican/tea bagger issues. He surely has not had his Limbaugh meeting yet.

8. He'll do this once in a while....
...to establish his "independent voice" cred with MA voters. In between, he'll be making the rounds of Fox "News" and CPAC-like events, while blocking the President's nominees for gov't agencies and voting against HCR. This Senate gig is just a stepping stone for his presidental run in '12 or '16.

12. Time will reveal if this is a ploy, an act, or common sense...
