WASHINGTON, Feb 22 (Reuters) - A modest job-creation bill advanced in the U.S. Senate on Monday as the chamber's newest Republican bucked his party and sided with Democrats on a $15 billion package of tax cuts and highway spending.
Republican Scott Brown joined four other Republicans, 55 Democrats and two independents to overcome a procedural hurdle that sets up a final vote later this week.

As I wrote about at the time of the election ; a "conservative" from Massachusetts is almost as "conservative" as any of the left wing RINOS that pose as conservatives.
He also appears to be a bigger attention whore than Pelosi is...
Better then the criminal mysandrist that he ran against? That is only a matter of degrees.
He just wants to establish himself as not towing the party line. His vote is for $ale and the GOP had better pay up...
Politics as usual I suppose, and better than the alternative, but certainly not what conservatives are looking for. I hope that myth has been dispelled.
Not surprising. Once I heard he described himself as a "Moderate Republican", I knew health care reform would probably be the only thing he sided with us on.
