Just when I decide to stop blogging about politics, something happens that needs to be addressed.
This Sunday, Scott Brown, the new GOP wonder boy senator from Mass., was interviewed on Face the Nation by Wally Schafer He protested that the proposed Wall Street and Bank Reform Bill is a bad bill and he will not vote for it. Oh yes, he is for regulation of our financial institutions but not with this bill. Deja vue…..same song and dance about the Health Care Reform Bill. His objections sounded vague to me. He stated that it covers too many institutions and that too many issues are in the bill. I want to know what these institutions and issues are that he objects to. Did Wally Schafer ask him to be more specific? No. This happens all the time with the media. Why don’t they dig deeper and ask the right questions? As a result, vague allegations and assumptions are thrown out and hang about like a cloud.
This was the cry of opponents to Health Care Reform. “It’s a bad bill. We are for reform, but not with this bill. Please, give me a break. Be specific, if you dare.Make no mistake. Scott Brown portrays himself as an independent thinker. He isn’t. In this interview, he managed to take the usual snipes at our president and his administration. He praised Sarah Palin and certainly did not distance himself from the Tea Party groupies. He is just another politician in camouflage, fearful of alienating a group of voters. Who knows what he really stands for?
Once more, to the news media………….Please, make your guests be SPECIFIC! Ask the hard questions that matter. We, the voters, can’t be expected to read all of each and every bill that comes before our Congress and Senate. We depend on the news media to help us digest all of these issues.
I mentioned that it protects too many organizations and that too many concerns are in the expenses. I want to know what these organizations and concerns are that he items to. This happens all time with the advertising.
