Scott Brown Sinks Impressive Half-Court Shot at Local Community Center

Former college basketball star Scott Brown (R-Mass) was visiting 3d grade students at Hyannis Youth and Community Center when the group seemingly decided to engage in some light basketball.
Reports say that several of the students, most of whom were from the nearby Barnstable Community Horace Mann Public Charter School, tried to sink the difficult half-court shot, but none succeeded.
That is, until Brown tossed the basketball underhanded and got nothing but the net.
While Brown is facing stiff competition from Elizabeth Warren, the students seem to favor Brown, jumping out of their seats in their excitement to give him high-fives after the difficult shot.
Unfortunately for Brown, though politicians often clamor for the “youth” vote, third graders don’t make the greatest of voting blocks, unless they hold particular sway over their parents.
The video is impressive, nonetheless, and it certainly can’t hurt him. Perhaps Warren could raise her esteem with the children in an impressive game of dodge-ball?

Posted on April 30, 2012 at 10:37amYa, Brown’s a RINO. But Granny Warren is a full-blown communist, hypocrite, liar; but I repeat myself.
I will be voting for Scott Brown against his opponent again this year.

Posted on April 30, 2012 at 12:49pmI can’t vote for the man but you have to admit that he will be better than a full blown lefty. We conservatives have a hard time comprehending that we didn‘t get into the fix we’re in by electing a full blown lib. We got here by electing someone who was just a little to the left, then the next couple of elections a little farther to the left, and so on and so on. We need to get back the other way using the same method.

You’re not allowed to hate on any moderate Repub, because you’re going to be defending the biggest RINO ever for the next few months.
Obama already has the swing states wrapped up, and he could lose most of them and still win.

Posted on April 28, 2012 at 7:10pmGranny Warren is in a little controversy these days. It seems that she claimed that she was part Native American on her Harvard Law School job application, which Harvard subsequently used on their diversity count claiming her as an Injun. However, Warren is not an Injun and obviously lied on her application. Of course, the Boston Globe refuses to mention this, but the Boston Herald’s columnist have followed through on this.

Posted on April 28, 2012 at 4:23pmYou know, the only reason you liberals even know who Scott Brown is, is because MSNBC (and others) sensationalized what he was trying to do for the tax payers and to decrease the debt in his state. Here’s the lie you were told: Scott Brown is trying to destroy the unions- Ed Schultz. The truth was just that he didn’t think that it was right for the unions to pick what government negotiator they would have to negotiate against, in contract talks. I think even liberals can see the folly in putting one of your friends in negotiations against you, with the other side. Maybe not, I might have been using positive thinking where it was inapropriate. You love the unions, so myabe you can‘t see what’s wrong with that picture.
