its symptomatic of the fact that regular people like us are FLOODING the phone lines and email boxes of the asses who are trying to rape us.
They KNOW we do NOT want this, an majority of America does NOT want this, and the Senate KNOWS deep down that anyone voting yes for this has a BULLS EYE on their foreheads when it comes to re-election.
Rightly so.
Unfortunately, regular people aren't the only ones flooding the phone lines and email boxes of the asses. There's been a concerted effort by all the usual lefty groups to contact Snowe and Collins to leave Porkulus intact. They've even been running TV ads here in Maine urging people to contact the two RINOs.
Collins just won re-election here and has apparently indicated that she won't run after her current term expires, so what's she got to lose by continuing to cater to liberals? Her election ads here were stomach turning, reassuring everyone that she'd continue stabbing conservatives in the back at every opportunity, a resume enhancer here in the People's Republic of Maine.
Her office (and Snowe's) stopped even acknowledging receipt of my letters years ago. I suppose I'm on their "nutball conservative" list. They make me sick, and so do the weak-kneed, dysfunctional voters who keep returning them to office.
"Educators, contractors, environmentalists and physicians staged press conferences Friday and urged their members to contact Republicans Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe."
