Brown Backs Out of Last Senate Debate

[JoeB131]

So Obama gets cheered for canceling his fundraising during the storm but Brown gets bashed for canceling something during the storm..

see how that works

Brown could easily reschedule the debate for Friday or Saturday, after the storm has passed.

He won't, though.

well being the good Republican that you are it's nice to see you bash you party, again

Until the grownups take the GOP back from the religious nuts, it kind of deserves to be bashed.

But that wasn't my point. The fact is, the Debates have been awful for Brown, because he's come off as mean and kind of petty in them.

So you can kind of see why he doesn't want to do more of them.

I guess that makes Romney and Obama 'pussies' too, right?


Candidates cancel campaign events - Boston.com

Campaign events are not debates!

Really? There's a difference between driving through a hurricane to attend a debate, vs. attend a campaign event?

Moron.

RELATED LEGISLATION:

SECOND MOST BIPARTISAN SENATOR IN 2011: According to a Congressional Quarterly study, Senator Brown was the second most bipartisan senator in 2011, voting with his party only 54% of the time and in favor of President Obama’s position 70% of the time. Brown voted across party lines far more frequently than any other member of the Massachusetts delegation, and approaches each issue with an open mind and independent spirit. In fact, the only two pieces of President Obama’s 2011 jobs bill to become law were both initiatives introduced earlier by Senator Brown.

INTRODUCING AN ETHICS BILL TO PREVENT INSIDER TRADING IN CONGRESS: Brown introduced the first piece of legislation to ban insider trading by members and employees of Congress. On December 1, 2011, the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs held a hearing on Congressional insider trading at Brown’s request. Brown thereafter worked across the aisle to draft a bipartisan bill. President Obama signed Brown’s legislation into law on April 4, 2012. Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act (S. 2038).

JUDGING EVERY NOMINEE ON MERIT: Senator Brown has approached judicial nominees coming before the Senate with an open mind, and voted to confirm nearly 90% of President Obama’s nominations. Senator Brown believes that the president – regardless of what political party they belong to – has the right to nominate judges of his or her choosing, so long as they are qualified. Brown has opposed efforts from members of his own party to block Obama nominees, and has also voted for a measure that would reduce gridlock in the judicial confirmation process. Called the Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act, this bill would ensure that qualified government officials are not held up in Congressional red tape.

MAKING CONGRESS MORE ACCOUNTABLE: To increase Congress’ accountability, Brown co-sponsored a bill that would end Congressional pensions when a member of Congress is convicted of a felony while serving in office. Called the Congressional Integrity and Pension Forfeiture Act, this legislation would close a loophole that allowed former members of Congress to keep their pensions after committing public corruption crimes in another elected office.

The only way we will see change in this country is through electeds like Scott Brown and through people like the good Democrats I see at these rallies for the Senator. Mingling with these type of Democrats who are both intelligent and very much seeking what so many people are seeking in government. Honest leadership who will do what is right, not what is right for their party. Will we always agree on every issue? No. However I truly believe if we wrestle back this country from the loudmouth extremists and the partisan hacks on both sides we might actually make something happen and start some movement forward.

That evil bastard!

Maybe Lie-a-watha Warren can do a "no-rain" dance?

The wind and rain is wreaking some havoc here and we are being asked to stay off the roads when possible.

Brown's statement

"It is simply not appropriate to go forward with a political debate when a disaster strikes," Colin Read, Brown's campaign communications director, said in a statement. "The focus for all of us before, during and after the storm needs to be on emergency response and disaster relief, not campaigns and politics."

Warren's statement


Elizabeth believes the focus now must be on public safety and ensuring people get the help they need during the storm and in its aftermath," Myers said. "With the concern for public safety and cleanup paramount, Elizabeth believes the debate should not be held tomorrow."

Chris from USMB's statement:


What a pussy.

Now help me here. Who was he calling a pussy?

According to Chris, Brown is a pussy for skipping the debate, while Warren showed good judgement and concern for the people.

I really do not see how cancelling the last debate would have a positive or negative affect on his campaign. He is trailing and is likely to lose no matter what he does, so I really don't see this as being relevant.

True, but he should put out the best try. A lot of people are working very hard to get him re-elected, he ought to make the minimum effort. He's got three months to send out resumes.

That isn't the point, turd gurbler. The people who bash the Republican party are all non-Republicans.

IF the debates were so awful for Brown, then why is he ahead in the polls? Debates almost always benefit the challenger, so Brown had nothing to gain from them in the first place, especially since Warren already committed electoral suicide.

 

[Unkotare]

Guess Brown knows he's losing.

He's actually taken the lead in the most recent polling.

No, he hasn't...

Yes, he has.

Straight and simple of the matter Brown won't face questions about his own lies. He chickened out of the last debate because that is just the kind of man he is.

Scott Brown, after canceling debate appearance, touring storm-damaged areas today - Boston.com

Senator Scott Brown announced a storm damage assessment schedule this morning after canceling campaign events for the day, including a planned debate.

Brown will make seven public appearances, including stops in Rehoboth, South Dartmouth, Gloucester, and Plum Island, to survey damage.

The Republican released the schedule though his Washington Senate office, rather than his campaign office, to make the point that the appearances were not related to next week’s election against Elizabeth Warren, his Democratic opponent.

But the senator does plan to drive his signature pick-up truck, a significant piece of his campaign imagery, and visit several areas that parallel targets of his reelection campaign, including Quincy and Gloucester.

He also will be accompanied at stops by a Republican sheriff and a Republican state senator, as well as the mayor of Quincy, a Democrat who has not endorsed a candidate in the Senate race.

Romney is such a pussy he won't even go on The View, David Letterman, or Bill O'Reilly.

Coward.

When was the last time Obama went on Fox?

Hmmm.

Coward.

Why on earth would he do that? He must feel like the debate will hurt him more that just bowing out.

He's crazy, they are tied in the last poll I saw this morning.

A lot of Republicans are upset by the turn the party has taken. There really has been a major realignment compared to where the parties were in the 1980's.

Much like the Democrats had to get back to the center after Mondale/Dukakis, the GOP will have to get back to a sensible center after Romney.

Brown is not ahead in the polls, either.

Not one current poll has him ahead. Which is probably why he's just giving up at this point.
