The big deal is we didn’t vote for you to caucus with the Democrats, although I do agree with him when he says “I don’t know what the surprise is,” we just didn’t think it would be this bad… Who was praising President Barack Obama last week for his handling of the drawdown of U.S. troops in Iraq? It was Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown commenting on the end of U.S. combat operations. “I think the president has done a good job on that,” said Brown, who has also backed Obama’s surge in Afghanistan. However, they part ways on the president setting a timetable to consider withdrawal from Afghanistan next summer. …Sarah Palin, who is pushing tea party candidates further to the right, dissed Brown, saying he was not conservative enough to pass muster in a state such as Alaska. Brown is brushing off the intraparty attacks, making no apologies for the pledge of independence he preached during his campaign and says he is living out in Washington. “I’m a Massachusetts Republican. When I go down to Washington, people say, what are you doing? They say, well you are working with the Democrats. I say, so what’s the big deal? I do that all the time. I’ve been doing it for 15 years,” Brown said. “I don’t know what the surprise is,” he said of the attitude of critics from the far right. “I said I was going to go down there and be an independent voice, an independent thinker and vote accordingly,” he said.
