With the likes of McCain, Collins, Snowe, Graham and company we might be better off with 48 than a majority.
I agree. It does no good to have a numerical majority of Repub. with McCain because the Dems. will still have a voting majority with McCain gathering enough of his fellow liberal Repubs. to vote with Dems. This is what he did the last time Repub. had the majority.
If the long-term goal is to oust 0bama in ‘12, it might be better that the dims retain razor-thin unworkable majorities until that election. That way they have to eat the failures that will continue as long as Barry is prez.
“With the likes of McCain, Collins, Snowe, Graham and company we might be better off with 48 than a majority.”
We should be thankful for Collins and Snowe, they do what they can (as little as you might think it is) coming from a tough state.
The problem is the likes of McCain and Graham - surely Arizona and South Carolina can do better. RINO’s from blueish-purple states I can tolerate; RINOs from red states are the scourge of the GOP.
Same with Evan Bayh - Indiana is as red a state as any, why do you guys keep electing this schmuck? Tell you what, I’ll trade you a Colts win over the Jets, for running Bayh out of the Senate? Waddayaasay?
As long as Indiana keeps electing Bayh we shouldn’t be complaining about Snowe and Collins.
