Sen. Scott "I'll tell you whatever it is I think you want to hear" Brown.
It was only yesterday that Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA)
reiterated his support for the House Republican budget abolishing Medicare. Well, early yesterday.
Because later on yesterday . . .
WASHINGTON—Sen. Scott Brown on Tuesday refused to say if he supports turning Medicare into a voucher system, a key part of a House GOP budget plan and a hot-button issue in his 2012 re-election bid.
The Massachusetts Republican said in a statement that he favors the overall direction Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan's budget takes toward reducing spending.
But Brown declined, through a spokesman, to say if he backs Ryan's proposed Medicare overhaul, or if he would vote for the Ryan budget plan.
Here's what he originally said, over the weekend: "The leaders will bring forward (Ryan's) budget, and I will vote for it, and it will fail." So I guess you could say he was for it before he was against it. That always works for politicians.
