WASHINGTON — Officials in the Democratic Party are wooing (click here) Elizabeth Warren to run for the Senate against the Massachusetts Republican Scott P. Brown rather than have her continue to set up the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau....
...In seeking to enlist Ms. Warren for a different campaign, Democrats are taking aim at two birds. They can lay the groundwork for a potential compromise over a different candidate to lead the new agency and, they hope, they can increase their chances of reclaiming Mr. Brown’s seat by sending against him a woman who has won considerable acclaim and popularity among liberals for taking on the financial industry....
How can Brown adequately represent Massachusetts now that he has proven to be a hypocrite in order to keep his "Tea Party Darling" status. Brown voted against the Affordable Care Act and voted for repeal while enjoying its benefits. The facts are clear. He says one thing and does another. Now, being a typical Republican, he is walking back the truth through political demands for apologies and attacks on the character of his opposition.
No one denies keeping health insurance for his daughter is the best idea for a family, but, Brown needs to examine the facts. He voted against the very benefit he finds valuable. It is just that simple. It is hypocritical to use benefits of bills passed in Congress when one has voted against it. He is not living his values. He would deny parents throughout Massachusetts this very benefit, yet given a chance to use it he does.
