Democrats had begun complaining in the past 24-hours after Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) caved to pressure from right-wing special interest groups, after a closed door meeting, and led Republicans to water-down the legislation as it relates to registration of lobbyists (what they refer to as 'political intelligence consultants.' )

When people ask me why these two candidates are so important, my answer is very simple: Both women are true progressives, and that's what America needs. It's pretty clear that the present 'system' of electing our leaders isn't going to change any time soon. We've made halfhearted attempts at reforming the election process and have basically gotten nowhere.

Thursday, Scott Brown had an op-ed in the Boston Herald voicing his disgust with lawmakers who benefit financially from policies on which they are passing laws. "I've always thought legislators should live by the same laws that govern everyone else. Unfortunately, that isn't always the case," Brown said.
Funny he mentions that, because Senator Scott Brown directly impacts issues pertaining to the banking and oil industries - both of which he holds stock in. According to his personal financial disclosure documents, Brown holds some substantial stock in Bank of America, Exxon Mobile, and GE.

Earlier this week, consumer advocate and Massachusetts Senate Democratic primary candidate Elizabeth Warren told the Daily Beast that not only does she support Occupy Wall Street, but that her writing and research formed much of the “intellectual foundation” for the wider 99 Percent Movement.
The Massachusetts Republican Party capitalized on Warren’s words, and on Wednesday released a new commercial touting Warren as the “Matriarch of Mayhem.” The video splices Warren’s words with the out-of-context remarks of a handful of protesters and the words of pollster Doug Schoen, whose words are used to encapsulate polling his firm did in Zuccotti Park about Occupy Wall Street.
The ad quotes Schoen saying Occupy Wall Street “believes in radical distribution of wealth, civil disobedience, and in some cases, violence.” Watch it: (VIDEO)
The problem with quoting Schoen isn’t just the reputability of his poll — where he had sample takers go out to Zuccotti Park for one day and poll the people who happened to be there at the time and who were willing to be surveyed — but the fact that his words radically misrepresent his own poll. Only 4 percent of poll respondents said Occupy Wall Street should choose as its goal the “radical redistribution of wealth.” The vast majority of poll respondents opposed the use of violence. It’s true that 98 percent approved of civil disobedience — a tactic used by the Founding Fathers and Civil Rights Movement. The Massachusetts GOP should stick to policy critiques and substantive criticism rather than misrepresenting polling to scare voters.Earlier this week, consumer advocate and Massachusetts Senate Democratic primary... more

Took Libby Dole's words, sans part about whose daughter she is, and put them on his website as his values statement. But it's OK, it was just a tech glitch, according to staff.
OK, stop laughing, pick yourself up off the floor and give this some thought. If a candidate steals another pol's value statement for his own web site, just what sort of values does he actually have? Looks like an "any means to an end" sort of guy. Hope Ms Warren wipes the floor with his cheatin ass. But that's just me, and lately I have been pretty grumpy about the behavior of GOP white guys who think they are so damned entitled they can do anything.

BOSTON (AP) -- Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts says he was "joking" when he said "Thank God" Democratic rival Elizabeth Warren didn't take her clothes off to pay for college.
Brown told reporters Friday he was responding to a "wisecrack" from Warren about a decision he made to pay for school.
During a Democratic primary debate Tuesday, Warren said she kept her "clothes on" when asked how she paid for college. The questioner had mentioned Brown's decision to pose nude for Cosmopolitan magazine as a law student.
Brown laughed during a radio interview Thursday and said "Thank God" when asked about Warren's comment.
Democrats say Brown's remark was demeaning to women. Brown says he and Warren were joking.

No one knows for sure what has caused this plague but many believe it is transmitted through close contact at boisterous tea parties.

Given the difficulties of the map facing Democrats in 2012 — 23 of their own seats are up as compared to just 10 for Republicans — making a major push in Massachusetts was an absolute necessity.
Warren gives them the sort of high-profile candidate they wanted. Whether she turns out to be a truly good candidate on the stump remains to be seen.
As always, the number one ranked race on the Line is considered the most likely to switch party control in 2012.

Massachusetts is a deeply Democratic state, one in which barely more than 15 percent of the seats in the state Legislature are held by Republicans and fewer than 15 percent of all registered voters belong to the GOP. So it’s hardly surprising that national Democrats have been making noise about defeating the state’s Republican senator, Scott Brown, when he stands for reelection next year.Massachusetts is a deeply Democratic state, one in which barely more than 15 percent... more

Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) reveals that he was sexually abused as a child multiple times in an interview scheduled to air on CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday evening.
In discussing the matter with Lesley Stahl, Brown explains that he hadn't even told his mother about what happened. The Republican senator recalls suffering sexual abuse on several occasions when he was young by a camp counselor and also living with an abusive stepfather.
"That's what happens when you're a victim," explains Brown of his reluctance to tell his mother what occurred. "You're embarrassed. You're hurt."
Speaking directly to what happened with the camp counselor, Brown says that "nothing was ever fully consummated," but that he had been forced to engage in unwanted sexual contact. Looking back, he explains, "It was certainly, back then, very traumatic."
"As predators do... He said 'If you tell anybody...I'll kill you. I will make sure that nobody believes you," recalls Brown of being threatened by the counselor.
The interview with Brown comes just before the release of memoir Against All Odds. The Senator details the traumatic experiences he endured in the book.Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) reveals that he was sexually abused as a child multiple... more

Conservative Republicans and Tea Party advocates are on the hunt for a primary challenger for Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown after his reaching across the aisle to support several pieces of legislation this year, including the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell."
Brown, a Republican, was chosen in a special election in January to assume the seat held by late Sen. Edward Kennedy, who died in 2009. He is up for full election in 2012.
Aside from his vote to repeal the military's ban on gay and lesbian service members, Salonreports Brown has drawn the ire of conservatives for his support of the New Start treaty, Wall Street reform over the summer, and a jobs bill earlier this year.
"I think that there will be a primary challenge," Christen Varley, president of the Greater Boston Tea Party, told the Boston Globe last Friday. "There’s enough of an underground movement in the Tea Party movement as seeing him as not being conservative enough. There probably will be multiple people who attempt to run against him."
Brown is still popular in his state, and polling stronger than senior Sen. John Kerry, according to the report.Conservative Republicans and Tea Party advocates are on the hunt for a primary... more

It was probably inevitable that we'd reach this point, but Tea Party activists and social conservative activists are now talking openly about backing a Republican primary challenger against Scott Brown in 2012.
"I think that there will be a primary challenge," Christen Varley, president of the Greater Boston Tea Party, told the Boston Globe last Friday. "There’s enough of an underground movement in the Tea Party movement as seeing him as not being conservative enough. There probably will be multiple people who attempt to run against him."
Brown's latest (supposed) crimes against conservatism include his support for the New Start treaty and for repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in the Senate last week -- this after he voted for Wall Street reform over the summer and a jobs bills back in February.
It's tempting to dismiss the right's threats. After all, Brown remains surprisingly popular in Massachusetts -- he's consistently scored better than John Kerry in polling since taking office -- he's armed himself with an impressive bankroll, and there's really no big- (or moderately big-) name conservative challenger waiting in the wings. Plus, we're talking about Massachusetts here: Brown's votes may place him to the left of most Republicans in the Senate, but he is also, on the whole, far more conservative than just about any Democrat who might otherwise hold the seat. He's doing what he needs to survive in a strongly Democratic state, in other words; surely, conservatives recognize and appreciate this at some level.
