Scott Brown Targeted For Tax Cut Vote In New Ad

Scott Brown Targeted In New Ad

Progressive group The Agenda Project has gotten an early start to the 2012 campaign season with a new ad targeting junior Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) for his recent vote against lowering taxes for Americans making less than $1 million a year.

"Scott Brown said he was like us -- he said he would be our Senator. He said he would lower our taxes. But 'Mister I drive a truck' is totally full of it," says the ad's narrator. "Looks like Mr. I'm-Just-Like-You drove his truck to Washington and turned into Senator I'm-Just-Like-Them. Tell Mr. Tough Guy to start acting like our senator or come 2012 he won't be."

Senate Democrats unveiled their version of a compromise over the weekend designed to ensure that the tax cuts for people making over $1 million annually weren't extended. The measure was defeated in a bipartisan vote.

Roll Call reports that the spot cost $20,000 to run on a couple Massachusetts-area cable stations.

"He is particularly vulnerable -- being up for re-election in 2012 in a traditionally blue state," Agenda Project founder Erica Payne told Roll Call.

Still, the spot is hardly the harshest strike from the group. Earlier this year they released a "F*ck Tea" clothing line.
