"Senator Scott Brown said today that “it’s sad” for rival Elizabeth Warren to criticize his decision to continue insuring one of his daughters through the Obama administration health care law that he has opposed and tried to repeal," The Boston Globe reports. "“For her to call me a hypocrite as to how Gail and I provide for our family, it’s sad,” Brown told reporters after a speech at Bunker Hill Community College."
NEVADA: The RNC warned Nevada Republicans that if Ron Paul delegates "are allowed to take too many slots for the national convention, Nevada's entire contingent may not be seated in Tampa," the Jon Ralston reports via Political Wire.
TEXAS: “After a decade of building a solidly Republican resume, Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst is finding it more difficult than expected to make the next step to higher political office. The man considered the likely choice to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison finds himself under attack in the Republican primary,” AP writes.

It is hypocritical of Brown to use the ACA after he voted against it.....typical Repub...."I can have it but you can't!"
Same as all those GOP Senators and Reps voting against the stimulus but taking photo ops of them handing a huge check made possible by the stimulus to a local group, or a photo op of them breaking ground at a construction site made possible by the stimulus. Typical Repub "do as I say, not as I do".
Brown says:
Definition of a hypocrite:
So he is against something that he and his family benefits from. The point is, if you BELIEVE something is wrong, unethical, immoral, etc., you do not use it as a principle.
Yes, the word "hypocrite" applies perfectly!
Dragon, great points.
Scott Brown is heavily funded by Wall Street, and he speaks on their behalf.
Meanwhile Elizabeth Warren - had she not been blocked by GOP - might have been our Consumer Protection Head.
Brown is posing as what he is not....doing the truck and the dog thing. He also accuses Warren of being an 'elitist' = ye olde anti-Education soap-box like the rest of GOP.
Does he think US leaders should be INeducated? I guess if so, it makes them more malleable ("Just-sign-it") puppets for the corporate right wing.
Down town Scott Brown, once you get there, keep going! Crook, hypocrite, liar! Throw the BUM out! Why is he still Gov.???
DUH!!
Your actions ARE hypocritical Mr. Brown, and
Bush DID take Clinton's balanced budget and ran up the deficits which now cause the economic problems this nation faces!
Come on people... DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT OLD, TIRED GOP-TEA SALES PITCH THAT THINGS WERE REALLY NOT WHAT THEY WERE, or that there is some acceptable excuse or justification.
Remember this coming November no matter how loudly, nor how often they try to tell us differently -- they have done what they have done. PERIOD!
Mr. Brown if you are against something you don't use it. No she isn't telling you what to do.She is checking to make sure you know what you are doing. You Mr. Brown are doing the Hypocrite, a new dance crazy sweeping the far right wingers and tea (keep your hands off my entitlements) party types. Shake it Brownie, shake it.
"MASSACHUSETTS: The Boston Herald reports: Fending off questions about whether she used her Native American heritage to advance her career, Elizabeth Warren said yesterday she enrolled as a minority in law school directories for nearly a decade because she hoped to meet others with tribal roots."
The real question: Is Elizabeth Warren really a Native American. If not then not only is she lying but she also used the benefit incorrectly.
As far as Brown is concern he is using a benefit that is legal in the new Health Care law that he is against. Who is the worst offender.
This is the point the that GOP just glosses over in their "free markets cure everything" approach. Why wasn't free market health insurance covering kids in early adulthood before they had real jobs that provided coverage? How would any of the GOP's plans fix that?
Ron Paul delegates plan to go all the way.
To the GOP Cannibal Convention.
