President Obama talks about seeking bipartisan accord ... and he reaches out to GOP senators ... but how many Republicans are even open to the need for fixing the economy through government spending?
As The Washington Independent's Dave Weigel points out, that question seems to have been answered in a Senate vote last night. When Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) offered an alternative stimulus plan that would replace all government spending in the stimulus with a series of tax cuts, 36 Republican senators voted for it.
To emphasize the point, that means all but four GOPers were perfectly happy with scrapping the core assumption of the president's plan. Here, then, are the four Republican senators whom Obama has the best shot at working with: Susan Collins (ME), George Voinovich (OH), Arlen Specter (PA), and Olympia Snowe (ME).
I knew it would be those four liberal “republicans”.
It's also a good time to remind Steele that he gets no contributions if he supports these people in their reelection. The only way to kill an incumbent is to starve it.
RINOagra? lmao, that’s great. They must sell that over the counter in ME and PA.
Senator Spector,
Please oppose this outrageous attempt to socialize the American economy.
For President Obama and the Democratic Congress to even suggest that this monstrosity has anything to do with economic 'stimulus' is a despicable lie. We need you and every other Republican senator to stand firm and oppose this bill. It needs to die a quick death, and allow the free market economy to recover on its own, as the recent turnaround in the existing housing market portends.
When casting your vote, please remember this famous quote from a very prescient 19th-century foreign observer of American life - Alexis de Toqueville:
"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. "
Thank you for your service,

Why the Senate is corrupt

“Sherrod Brown is as liberal as the day is long.
But I will say that when Brown votes for every liberal, douche bag idea that comes down the pike you at least know where he’s coming from. “
Yes, indeed. Sherrod Brown is a cheerleader for big govt boondoggle spending. He’d be a sure vote for this monstrosity.
Enemies of the Republic.
Voinovich is retiring, he won’t vote GOP for anything is my bet, Specter really needs to go — email Steele — Personally I think COllins and Snowe are both beyond hope ditzes.
Demint has a group worth donating to. I forget the name.
I like it...
If DeWhiner were still in, he would be on the list too.
I can tell you from experience that Specter doesn’t care one whit how many people — including constituents— contact him.

That’s ok!! He still needs to hear from us. Republicans and Conservatives are too easily swayed. If they’re going to do something this worthless, I think, they should hear about it...
The usual RINO traitors

Let’s see. Snowe and Collins are in states that are so Democratic that nobody can figure out how Republicans get re-elected there in the first place. If you knock them off they will certainly go Democratic.
Voinovich is already not running so you don’t need to knock him off. But Ohio is certainly no sure bet to put in a Republican especially as times get worse and after the McConnell lead fiasco of obstructionism on the stimulus bill. How tone-deaf is our Republican leadership? Getting a better stimulus bill would have been something to be proud of but to the average American McConnell and his crowd came across as uncaring, out-of-touch and ruthlessly partisan. That’s how you lose an election.
Specter knows that Pennsylvania is moving leftward as well and he’s unlikely to move to the right because he wants to get re-elected. Knocking him off would also probably increase the probability of a Democrat winning there too.
With Gregg bowing out and Martinez not running both of these states have a really strong chance of moving into the Democratic column in 2010. Be careful which Republican you target to take down because we’re already in trouble. Two more senators and the Republicans won’t even have a say in things.
