Here comes THE SHAFT!!!

[Lou Budvis]

One or two votes from RINO senators won’t make a difference as long as the GOP leadership gets out in front and points out that there was near-unanimous opposition to it from the GOP. The GOPers who vote against it will still be able to run on it.

[nhwingut]

Are you sure it’s Collins?

All they needed was two... Snowe and Spector.

[vortigern]

I have Zero respect for all politicians. We would be better off without any of them.

[Red Steel]

And the throngs of Collins’ underlings:

jen_burita@collins.senate.gov

priscilla_hanley@collins.senate.gov

david_hunter@collins.senate.gov

jordan_cross@collins.senate.gov

holly_nesbit@collins.senate.gov

ann_fisher@collins.senate.gov.

jon_ford@collins.senate.gov, bill_vail@collins.senate.gov, sarah_mccarthy@collins.senate.gov, tom_murphy@collins.senate.gov

[SuziQ]

For any Republicans who vote for this monster, I hope the GOP finds someone who can run against them in the next election, and rub the results of this legislation in their faces.

As long as GOP support is limited to Collins/Specter/Snowe, I still consider it a victory for Republicans and conservatives. It’s unrealistic to expect those RINOs to hold tough on a vote like this. Still, it’s disappointing.

[HwyChile]

I hope that she conditioned it on gaining more support from the GOP. If that is the case, then I hope it won’t and I hope it falls apart. A lot of hope on my part, but hey, it seems to be one of the buzz words that is in style these days.

[arealconservativeforachange]

Well at least Collins is Republican!

/massive sarcasm

[SuziQ]

Oh, and if the vote hasn't happened yet, how does ANYONE know how she'll vote on it, if she herself hasn't announced it?

I don't trust Harry Reid to tell the truth about anything. This is probably his way of trying to put pressure on the holdouts.

[Deo volente]

Wait until this "stimulus" doesn't work, and they ask for another one (or two, or three) down the line.
I'll give it six months, tops, before we go through this all over again. When the hyperinflation finally hits, we'll be paying $100 for a pack of gum.

[kinsman redeemer]

I KNEW this would happen!

SAY “NO!” to the WHOLE D*** THING!

emailed...I imagine they’ll dump it as soon as they see I’m not from Maine, though...

[Snickering Hound]

Can't say I'm surprised.

[Syncro]

I don't know if folded is the right work.

If she folded, she would be against the bill.

[pallis]

Make everyone who votes for this poverty promotion bill pay for it at the polls, and I mean everyone, not just intellectually challenged Republicans. See that Republicans pay for it during the primaries. Things are going to get bad now, like the Carter days, and worse. Be ready. This bit of Socialist foolishness is just the start. If they can pass this puke paper, they can pass anything. Just knock over the weak Republicans.

[goldstategop]

$780 billion for big government. And the RINOs are wallowing happily in the liberal pig slough!

[Candor7]

Susan Collins, plank holding member of the gang of 14 that put paid to the conservative agenda.

Some one should jump her at dinner and shakes her until she rattles!!!!

WHAT AN IDIOT.

Oh I hope the Republican whip lays her across his knee during recess and takes her to task.

FOR SHAME!

She wants the Maine Porkulus, see it here:

$219,461,480 and counting. She will GET MORE!
