Scott 'Bankers gave me $450k in 6 days' Brown opposes Wall Street reform

Remember how Scott Brown was going to be the darling of the teabaggers? Now, he's a wholly owned subsidiary of Wall Street. And, it didn't cost them too much. First, know this :

In a six-day span just before the US Senate election, Republican Scott Brown collected nearly $450,000 from donors who work at financial companies, a sign the industry is prepared to spend heavily in the upcoming midterm elections to beat back new controls and taxes President Obama wants to impose.

The donations, from hundreds of financial executives, far exceeded what Brown received from doctors and others in the health care industry in the final days of the campaign.
Then, this isn't a surprise:
Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) said Sunday he would filibuster financial regulatory reform legislation in its present form because the “bill is not a good bill, period.”

Speaking on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Brown charged that President Barack Obama is politicizing the debate – an “unfortunate” happenstance – and people should get into a room and start solving problems.
On January 19th, Election Day for this Senate race, I was listening to a Boston radio station and tweeted one of the things I heard:
Just heard on Boston's WBZ: "I voted for Scott Brown. I'm a banker. There isn't a banker alive who voted for Martha Coakley"
Now, we know why. The bankers and Wall Street are getting their money's worth from Brown.
