Collins and Snowe would sign the Communist Manifesto if it was set in front of them.
Out of 'bipartisanship', y'see.
Any republican that votes for this bill or cap and trade should be REMOVED from the party and all funding and support ended the very SAME day!
Read Collins comments and check out how Ricardo and the AP headline writer PEEDLE THE BIG MOMENTUM PR CAMPAIGN.
Get used to seeing these BIG MOMENTUM CRAP being stated over and over by the state media !!! Collins wanted some reporter time and her words and comments are obviously twisted by Ricardo .
But she is just as big state media whore as Olympia !
Another member of the Republicrat party supports the socialist health care bill. Meanwhile fellow member Lindsey Grahamnesty supports socialist cap and tax. The party must be proud of their bipartisanship.
These are Vichy Republicans. They are political whores of the lowest stripe. RINO is too good a term for them. They are collaborateurs. They should have their political hair cut off for this and so many other foul deeds.
Maybe Maine would rather be part of Canada.
Didn't we just HAVE this conversation, RE Lindsay Grahamnesty, yesterday???
Let me repeat myself with great eloquence, since the GOP obviously isn't listening...
Over and over and over and over ad inifinituum, ad nauseaum, ad regurgitatus, ad vomitorium...
NOT VOTING FOR RINO POS.
NOT VOTING FOR RINO POS..
NOT VOTING FOR RINO POS...
Did the GOP IMMEDIATELY come down on her ass over breakign ranks??? (silence....crickets....wind sighing through the trees...someone farting under the covers...a snore or two...)
Nope. Thought not...
Every countermeasure we mount is undone by these traitorous examples of walking, talking amoebic dysentary. To my mind, they are WORSE than the Dems...they're the cowards who open the gates to the city while the population sleeps, and begs not to be slaughtered during the sacking, expecting to be rewarded instead.
And the sad, angering part to me is that they GET rewarded...over and over and over.
So it doesn't matter which party is elected, you end up with a Maine Liberal.
No. Not Collins. Who’d believe this?
Everybody in Maine should throw her out.
No big surprise here...They probably flipped a coin to see who would make noises and or a vote to get it out of committee and on its way to the floor for debate...
Yet...
There seems to be quite a few closed door meetings about the whole issue...Not that that surprises me either...
Somehow, I just fail to see any momentum translating in a real overhaul of 535 ineffective representatives in 2010...
I’ll keep saying that till folks get mad enough at me to prove me wrong...And that will be a win-win for me...
If people don’t show up for these elections...Well, don’t come cryin’ to me...
Collins and Snowe should have been tossed years ago, but their RINO supporters sure do love them...
We’ll take care of Kay Bailey Hutchison on her fantasy quest for the governorship of Texas, and try to get a guy like Mike Williams in there to boost Texas in the U.S. Senate...
Thats about all anyone can do at this point...
Susan says
We have to do something.
Susan, resign. I don’t even care if there is a Republican Gub to appoint another replacement Republican in Maine.
Beginning to wonder , are there any Republicans in Maine?
I’m really surprised at the folks in Maine. They used to take such pride in their self reliance and independence. Now they are willing to turn themselves over to massive government control. I guess folks from Massachusetts have indeed retired to Maine and taken over.
[feigns shock and surprise]
Collins is ‘crossing the aisle’ for this crap??
Wow! She and Snowe are the only enlightened Republicans in Congress, eh? /sarc
Feh on them! “The Party of HELL NO” would be much better off if they choose the Spectre route and defect—might as well, they are RINOs of the highest measure, and have been for years!!
I hope their home states WAKE UP and vote them OUT OF THERE in 2010!
Once...just once...I’d like to see someone run as a “centrist” “moderate” republican (aka RINO) and move RIGHT while in office.
Has that ever happened in the history of mankind?
Wait, wait, wait a minute!! Does this mean that Arlen Specter will be voting AGAINST ObamaDON’Tcare?!?
I mean, the three musketeers always go out of their way to vote against their own parties, right? ;-)
I can’t even think about this and America’s future. When I’ve had too much political bad news, I stream www.AllQuartetsRadio.com and get a good fix of old-time gospel music. Then I know that no matter what happens — I’m good.
Where is the Pub leadership? (I know, an oxymoron)
The headline tells me nothing about Collins' position. Everybody is for some kind of overhaul. Deregulation across state lines and tort reform come to mind.
Snowe previously had proposed using the public option as an incentive, or a threat, to private insurers. This "trigger" option, or some version of it, has survived the bitter debate and scrutiny to remain a viable option for compromise. Snowe broached her standby notion again as talks among lawmakers on health care were going back behind closed doors; Senate leaders are trying to merge two very different bills into a new version that can get the 60 votes needed to guarantee passage... Collins, however, said she could not support Snowe's idea because she thinks it would make it too easy for a Democratic administration to impose a government plan nationwide. "It would simply delay the public plan for a couple of years," she told AP.
According to the article, Collins still doesn't support a "trigger" option.
