Tea Partiers getting upset with Scott Brown

Sen. Scott Brown is starting to hear it from his teabagging supporters over his vote for the Senate Financial Reform Bill.

As quickly as they had latched onto his campaign four months ago, they repudiated him yesterday through a flurry of blog posts, editorials, and Facebook messages.

“His career as a senator of the people lasted slightly longer than the shelf life of milk,’’ said Shelby Blakely, executive director of New Patriot Journal, the media arm of the Tea Party Patriots, which includes various Tea Party groups around the country. “The general mood of the Tea Party is, ‘We put you in, and we’ll take you out in 2012.’ This is not something we will forget.’’
--
Brown’s crucial support infuriated critics who believed that the financial legislation will lead to a bigger and more intrusive regulation. Americans for Limited Government wrote an online editorial called “A Lamentation of Scott Brown.’’

Some of Brown’s former supporters posted blistering comments on his Facebook page. “Scott Brown is a turncoat and I am ashamed that I did so much campaigning on his behalf,’’ wrote one. Another former backer wrote, “I am hereby officially un-liking you.’’

2. The gift that keeps on giving

The shock of Scott Brown's election served to wake up complacent Democrats, and it forced Harry Reid to finally take charge and utilize available but heretofore untapped (by Democrats anyway) legislative options in the Senate. Best of all, Brown's unpredictable voting pattern has really exploded Teabaggers heads over their former poster child. Any schism in the GOP is a good one, and this one is no exception.

5. The bottom line is he still has to represent Massachusetts

and I'm 100% sure he knows he got votes or at least didn't get votes taken away from the Democrats because of the weak sauce health care reform.

Hey, Thomas Frank, that was a pleasant surprise
