This Struggle Is All About Principles

Ladies and gentlemen, once again, this struggle that we are in the middle of is all about principles. It is all about values. It is all about a philosophy, an ideology of how government should work. And those that are in the political system inside the machine, are not going to satisfy your concerns unless you make them clearly.

See, this was the point that I was trying to make to you. Did you extricate promises and will you extricate, will you demand promises from future Scott Browns, like are you going to obey the Constitution, dude? Seriously, no, really. We want you to go, and we want you to run on a platform that you’re going to dismantle the welfare state. Will you do that? We want you to go, and we want you to run on a platform that you’re going to take it apart brick by brick, that you’re going to get my children out of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. I mean, until you do this, and until you insist on this, and until you are clear about the kind of “change” that you’re talking about, you’re going to get a bunch of Scott Browns. You’re going to get a bunch of fake, phony, fraud conservatives that aren’t conservative at all.

And then after Brown, man, you’ve got to read the write-up on this in the Washington Compost today. I mean, this is just damning. He went out and boasted and bragged about it to the media. Hey, there is one upshot to this, though, ladies and gentlemen. After Scott Brown voted for Harry “Worthless Warbucks” Reid’s non-job-producing job bill last night, Michelle Obama is now once again proud of Massachusetts. So you have that going for you. [Mimicking Michelle Obama] “I’m, once again, really proud of Massachusetts.” Despicable.

You know what I find interesting, on the floor of the United States Senate yesterday the entire text of George Washington’s farewell address was read aloud by Roland Burris. That’s quite a choice to read it, but nonetheless. And contained in that farewell statement are Washington’s warnings and his pleadings about not affiliating with parties, and about parties being the bane of political discourse. And Washington, if you read the farewell address, nailed it on all these things.

Now, how interesting. It was pointed out in the Washington Compost today by Dana Milbank that, why, Scott Brown didn’t go for the party line. Mitch McConnell tried to rally the 41 votes against the jobs bill, which is not a jobs bill, it’s a jobs killer bill. And he was rebuffed by Mr. Brown who said, “I’m not with a party. Why, I represent the people of Massachusetts, there.” I’ll tell you what, though. Contained in Brown’s statements are the seeds of undoing, are the seeds and the evidence upon which you can now firmly make the conclusion, or base the conclusion, that your hero, your tea party hero, the man that was going to change everything, the man who was going to finally, finally put the dagger in one of my predictions and prove me wrong and that I’m the fake and the phony, and I didn’t know what the hell I’m talking about, and I never have, the dagger has now been put into the aspirations attached to Scott Brown.

By the way, I will accept your apologies at any time now, all you so called conservatives that think i`m insane, that defriended me...for telling me that I didn’t get it and for telling me, “You’re going to see, we’re right about this, we know this guy. He was on with Sean Hannity, and he’s the real deal. And if you would just get with the program, we could all move forward together, dude.” [Snickering] I will accept your apologies all day long. My children will accept your apologies for slandering their father. All day today. Let’s be civil about this.

Dana Milbank, Washington Compost, here’s the title: “From the bluest of states, a red senator of a different color.” [Guffawing] He’s red, all right. “So much for the Massachusetts Miracle,” writes Dan Milbank. Boy, that’s just got to cut like a knife. Where’s Bryan Adams when you need him? “[Scott] Brown, his desk in the back corner, was the only Republican in the room as Senate Majority Leader Harry [Worthless Warbucks] Reid ... offered a final denunciation of the GOP before the vote [on the jobs bill].” This is Bride of Stimulus, ladies and gentlemen. This is just Part 1 now. They’re not finished with this. By the time they’re done with this thing, it’ll be a couple of hundred bil. But, heh, who’s counting; right?

“‘My friends on the other side of the aisle are looking for ways not to vote for this,’ [Reid] said, accusing them of putting ‘partisanship ahead of people.’ As Reid spoke, Brown was leafing through a Senate face book, learning to recognize his new colleagues. As soon as the vote was called, he strode quickly into the well and interrupted the clerk as he read the roll. ‘Yes,’ Brown said quietly; and then, having become Reid’s first vote” – he was the first one. Benedict Brown, the first one. “Having become Reid’s first vote, he rushed out of the room before Republican colleagues arrived. He stepped into the hallway, then waited for reporters to assemble around him. ‘I’m not from around here, I’m from Massachusetts,’ he said.

“Back inside the Senate chamber, Maine’s Susan Collins, a Republican moderate” – she’s not a Republican moderate. She’s a shill. She’s a DeceptiCon, big-spending fake – “...Republican moderate, followed Brown’s lead and voted yes. The floodgates opened, and the GOP filibuster was broken with two votes to spare.” Hey, where was the fiscally conservative and upset over all the spending Evan Bayh? Where was the fiscally conservative and upset over all the spending Blanche Lincoln? Where were they? Were they out there protesting? Were they out there – let me see. I’ve got the roll call here. [Muttering] Oh, look at this. All the moderate Democrats that were so concerned about the budget deficit with Obama and so concerned about all the spending that’s going on, Blanche Lincoln, you people in Arkansas voted yes. K Street Mary Landrieu voted yeah. As did all the other Democrats.
Despicable, folks, despicable.

It sure doesnt sound like they have any morals or priciples to me....well I guess that also depends on your definition of morals and principles...
