In reply to the discussion: AUDIENCE BOOS SCOTT BROWN FOR NAMING SCALIA AS ‘MODEL JUSTICE’ [View all]King_Klonopin
(1,397 posts)41. The numbers I found on the web:
He voted with repubs 30/32 times when blocking legislation or filibustering dems.
So, he is more of an "obstructionist" than an "independent".
On total roll call votes, he was around 74% -- until Warren announced her
intention to run. That's when he started voting with dems on selective bills --
BUT he always votes in the interests of corporations and banking, and voted
with dems only when it was necessary to conceal his true political stripes and
prevent repercussions from the Mass. voting public.
Wolf in sheep's clothing.
