It's also being very false!
As I wrote to Specter & his fellow travellers in "moderation" Snowe & Collins, there's nothing the least bit moderate about their votes for this Pork Bill. There's nothing middle of the road about saddling everybody else's kids & grandkids with crippling debt for life in this blatant scam to pay off Obama's & Pelosi's & Reid's obligations to greedy special interest groups & others who provided them campaign support. Not a single job & not a speck of wealth will be created by absurdly wasteful items such as heaters for pools in Hawaii and all three of these Senators damn well know it.
For years, these three have tried to cultivate reputations for being the rationally responsible, ideologically independent members of their party who would rather betray their party's line if it meant promoting the good of the country. Their deceitful votes for this crooked payola package will force them once & for all to forfeit the right to insult anybody else's intelligence by even thinking about claiming that whopper ever again. That charade is finito, kaput, DOA.
Indeed, these three have permanently outed themselves as standing with the most cynically self-serving, IRrational, IRresponsible & IMmoderate stewards of the "good of the country" in the Senate and their reputations even among moderates, independents & middle-of-the-roaders will be irrevocably destroyed with this vote.
And rest assured if their phony mantles of 'moderation' are not not quite shredded yet, just wait for the next few years of incessant letters to the editor repeatedly enumerating all of the indefensibly irresponsible & recklessly wasteful garbage studded in this sleazy porkapalooza bill for which they're voting. Even the leftists in their states will recoil in disgust at the craven hypocrisy they're employing while sticking it to the next generation in the most selfishly shortsighted and wantonly profligate way imaginable.
No, these three Senators' reputations as "reasonable moderates" will have at long last earned their rightful burials straight down those $30,000+ self-flushing toilets in Sumter SC which Specter, Snowe & Collins have unethically chosen to put on the credit cards of citizens who haven't even yet been born let alone those who are now too young to give them permission to do so - all in the criminally corrupt name of "stimulus".
Great post leilani. ALL three are TRAITORS to their party AND their country, along with the Democrats headed by Obama.
