1. He is our Senator
One of the few who still believe he is representing the people.

3. He might be in the majority
but his straight talk puts him in the minority.

6. I disagree with Sen. Brown
They do get it. They just don't care and know they can get away with crap like this without any repudiation.

11. They know full well
they control the nation at this time in history. We need to elect people that understand these financial institutions need to be slapped down hard and placed under strict control.

8. they are stealing shareholders money.. should get bonus only if 60% shareholders approve it, people
are eligible to receive bonus cant vote for bonus, conflict of interest

that would solve any problems

12. Fine contribution of a video, but I think from now on we have to distinguish
between the GOOD Senator Brown, and the BAD one...

Maybe just say "the GOOD Sherod Brown", versus "the BAD Scott Brown" from Mass.
