Olympia Snowe, RINO who laughs in our face.
Financial Times ^ | 3rd Sep | Financial Times

Posted on 09/04/2009 5:23:38 AM PDT by freepersunite

Olympia Snowe, the "Republican" who voted with the Democrats on the stimulas is now in negotiations with the Whitehouse over a public option "trigger" in the healthcare bill.

It seems she is willing to vote with the Democrats again. When will the Republican party TOSS HER OUT?

I can't believe freepers give me schtick for admiring someone like Ron Paul and yet tolerate the REAL traitor Senator Snowe.

THROW HER OUT, MCCONNELL IS WEAK

Republicans in her state need to call and let her know she can start packing.

WE understand what is going on.

“Health care reform” is nothing other than socialized medicine, government-run medical care.

The “PUBLIC OPTION” is ALL this is about.

Any fool who thinks the Left is going to abandon the GOVERNMENT BEING THE CONTROLLING AGENT OF MEDICAL CARE IS EITHER STUPID OR A LIAR.

I'm not aware of many or really any postings defending Snowe. I think she is despised quite universally on FR. I may be wrong because I don't follow every thread. But I never got the impression that she's been tolerated here.

I am with you. I don’t mind independent thinking and voting Republicans, but I would like for them to vote most of the time in a conservative, pro-American way.

but how can she get away with going against her colleagues time and time again, without rebuke? If McConnell had any sense he would discipline her

Another RINO that needs to come out of the closet and profess her undying affection for the Socialist Democrat party.

Right now, it seems to me that the best promise a congressional candidate could make is: “I promise to vote ‘No’ to everything. I promise to not introduce or co-sponsor any new legislation. I promise to delay everything and anything. I simply promise to not screw with the day to day lives of Americans”

She’s a continuous traitor to her party. Does she cheat on her husband too?

Jus sayin’ ...

When it comes to the "Public Option" I often ask my Progressive (communist) fellow New Yorkers this question:

You're standing on the corner of First Avenue and East 30th Street when you start experiencing severe chest pains. You can be taken to NYU Medical Center or Bellevue (i.e. the public option). Which do you choose?

This question is always followed by silence.

She’s good for 1 thing . . .

When they count seats for control of the Senate, they count her as an “R”. Losing her seat to a “D” pushes the goal posts that much farther back in the quest for a Republican Congress.

Just think, the Senate count is now 60 dem -40 rep; if we oust Snowe and lose the seat it becomes 61 - 39. Even if she votes like a Dem, she at least lines up on the side of the Rep.

If there were a real conservative that could beat her - great, but it seems unlikely that unseating her will do anything but make it harder to regain the majority.

Its MAINE. The alternative to Snowe is a Democrat.
Not that that would make any real difference.

The people must go door to door and expose the RAT and Snowe. Find a candidate to run against Snowe and then expose the RAT.

well, at least Arlen Specter had the good grace to put the D next to his name and the Republicans should have a more conservative opponent to him next time who could unseat him

it really isnt an issue Democrats having over 60 seats because there are internal splits anyway not to mention Reids faltering poll numbers. getting them to do agree on anything is not easy

I signed on to Myfax just so I could send Snowe (and Collins and Pingree) a daily fax. I’m sure it’s not doing a lot of good but it makes me feel better. Plus they have to change toner a bit more often. (Snowe’s fax is frequently busy so the usage must be high.)
