Scott Brown's "Job" Bill Yes Vote No Big Deal

My fellow conservatives, I ask you to lay off Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) for his yes vote on the senate version of a $15,000,000,000 "jobs" bill.
I know, many are screaming that he voted for bad legislation. The government does not create jobs. The private sector does.
All true.
But, consider a few things and put this vote in perspective.
Sen. Brown ran as someone independent. Not beholden to the political class of the Democrat party or his own Republican party. I have numerous times likened Sen. Brown to the former Alaska governor, Sarah Palin. In temperament and independence.
So, during the campaign to replace the late Sen. Teddy Kennedy, then state Sen. Brown said that he would possibly vote for some kind of jobs bill. And one that provided tax cuts.
This bill passed did that. Although it is "targeted" tax cuts, it is tax cuts none the less. Also, the price tag of the senate version is, as noted, $15,000,000,000. The House version on the other hand comes in at a cool $154,000,000,000. Somehow, I do not see where the two trains meet. But they might.
Another consideration is that Sen. Brown fulfilled two campaign promises in one vote.
As noted, he voted for a bill that has tax cuts. And he voted for a "jobs" bill.
So what is wrong with all of that?
To see the reaction from many, one would think that Sen. Brown defected to Red China.
What many seem to forget is that Sen. Brown is from Massachusetts. It is still a Blue state as a Blue state gets. Seeing Sen. Brown vote like Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) would pretty much end his senate career in 2012.
I would call this a forgivable vote.
And I think this analysis by Andrew Cline in the American Spectator affirms the obvious about how far Sen. Brown can go being a conservative in as Blue a state as Massachusetts.
I just write this.
This vote of Sen. Brown is not a big deal. It is a throwaway vote. Because the most important vote will be his 41st vote to stop the Dear Leader, President Obama, and his continuous attempt to socialize medicine in the United States.
