Have you stopped beating your
Have you stopped beating your wife - yes or no?
good answer
There is no good answer to the question: Have you stopped beating your wife?
There is a perfectly good answer to the question of whether the US needs to regulate green house gases. The answer is yes.
Moreover Scott Brown voted yes to regulate green house emissions when he was a state senator so it's hard to understand the flip-flop when he became a US Senator.
Scott Brown: pay up if you want him to vote your way
If you can donate more money to Scott Brown 2012 to keep environmental regulations, he will vote that way. If the special interest polluters donate more, he will vote their way. Its up to YOU, Scott Brown doesn't care either way, he doesn't WANT little kids to die, its just a matter of who pays him more.
Humorous web issues
When I loaded up the page the Brown response ad showed up where the original WLV ad was supposed to go and the Brown response ad was replaced with an ad for Deep Purple in concert!! Somehow it sort of worked...
Funny this time
But, yeah, I need to investigate why that happens sometimes.
I won't hold my breath.
I won't hold my breath.
It was kind of a low blow
The ad could have used imagines of birds or clear skies/smoggy skies. The moment they used a kid with an oxygen mask, that was a punch to the guy. It kinda reminded me of how the special election went for the whole duration(whether it was the Dems against each other or Coakley vs. Brown). I'm tired of negative ads like this, always manipulating my emotions without giving my mind something to grasp more concretely.
Hard hit, not a low blow
I was quite surprised to see the LWV sponsoring such a hard-hitting position ad, but it was in no way dirty play. The EPA has excellent scientific backing for its regulations. Brown is voting with polluters to castrate the EPA. It's apparently cheaper for the polluters to buy congress than to clean up their act. There are human health effects from the pollutants which the EPA is regulating.
Yup
Anyone who's against giving an unelected body with little to no congressional oversight carte blanche to regulate business and manufacturing must be pro-pollution (or maybe just pro-capitalism and pro-democracy, but those are synonyms for pro-pollution in these parts).
But you're right, this ad is hard-hitting but NOT a low blow; Scott Brown doesn't care if this girl dies and probably wants to try a thing or two he learned at Camp Good News on her.
Ever read the clean air act and amendments?
Little or no oversight my ass.
Chartered by act of congress and given marching orders. JFGI and learn something about it before deploying talking points from idiots, please!
Actually Brown DOESN'T
Actually Brown DOESN'T particularly care if she lives or dies. Or at least he cares less than he does about reducing regulation on his masters in big industry.
Scott Brown saying "I want clean air" is meaningless if he's not willing to step up and actually do something about it. The ad is correctly critical of his vote on deregulation.
Not a low blow, facts.
Its not just about whether there are lots of birds in the sky or not, thats what people need to understand. The environment isn't this place we go to see wildlife on the weekends. Its where we all live, breath, and the water we drink. People need to understand that Brown isnt just saying 'oh, I like nature but for the sake of company profits, its not worth saving this rare bird from extinction.' Environmental regulations are about our health, and when corporations pay people like Scott Brown to weaken those regulations, they are saying its ok to sacrifice lives to keep their profits high. People can make a choice if they agree with people like Brown, but they should have the facts and he should have the balls to argue why our health is less important than short term profits. Its not about the birds.
How is that a low blow? The
How is that a low blow? The attack ad is perfectly correct that Scott Brown prioritizes the right of polluters to not be regulated over the health of people in Massachusetts, including little children.
Is Scott Brown sitting around cackling like some Bond villain and plotting how to do evil to the people of Massachusetts? No. But the ad does correctly highlight the priorities for Brown which reside with deregulating industry rather than ensuring environmental safety. The fact that Brown's goal is not to deliberately hurt people doesn't change the outcome. And it's demonstrative of his voting priorities.
Well said. It's not a low
Well said. It's not a low blow. It's the truth. The guy is a piece of crap.
the little girl is the polluter
Maybe the tube is to scrub the CO2 out of the air the little girl is exhaling. How dare she
A little cost-benefit analysis?
It makes no sense to save business a few dollars, and dump the costs on society.
This from a somewhat skeptical article: http://www.ombwatch.org/node/11538
It's interesting as well that
It's interesting as well that the Brown rebuttal contains no actual facts. They don't actually REBUT the LWV ad. They don't claim that anything the LWV said was false (well they do say that it "distorts" his record but offer no specific example of distortions) or offer any defense of Brown's vote. Instead it's all about how poor little victim Scott is being attacked by the evil special interest groups who want clean air.
Totally Agree
I love that the ad says Brown isn't trying to hurt kids, he's just trying to help small businesses by reducing regulations....the result of which is to pollute the air and hurt kids. What is also notable, is that the big air polluters in our country are not small businesses, they are utilities and the vehicle industry. Perhaps Brown is trying to protect our 50%+ investment in GM by making it easier for them to build polluting cars.
Thanks Scott (you ass)!
Brownie says he saw a picture her in an official briefing
Brownie said he saw a picture of the girl in an official briefing and that she is breathing fine now and doesn't need a respirator.
