Tonight, bold progressive candidate Elizabeth Warren is in a live television debate on Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA).
During a moment just now, Scott Brown defended voting against President Obama’s jobs bill that would’ve created up to 1.9 million jobs nationwide. Ai??Warren first challenged him for voting against these jobs bills, and then he quickly responded.
Looking at the camera, Brown said, “The [jobs bill] that she refers to with all due respect would have raised your taxes $450 billion.” Watch it:
Maybe Brown thinks only the super-rich are watching the debate, or those are the only people he wants to speak to. It’s entirely possible he didn’t want to tax the rich a tiny amount to pay for jobs for millions of Americans. Any other explanation would be that he simply wanted to mislead the audience.
Wait — I’m supposed to be surprised when a Republican candidate for office in post-2008 America LIES? Where’s my crib sheet?
Misleading the audience was exactly Brown’s intent. He does not want the general public to REALLY UNDERSTAND because, if they once do, they will vote against the Republicans. It’s just more Republican “scare” tactics! Also, it reveals how “dumb” Republicans think the Public is.
Of course, “died in the wool” Republicans, like many in the rural areas of my state, will believe him.
