Hmmm, I can’t get through to McConnel today. I’ll keep trying but it may be a good sign.

Criticism is almost never welcome. But here it comes anyway.

When one writes something, one needs to be aware of who is going to read it. There are good jokes for a men’s locker room that just does not work for a girl scout troop.

This letter gladdens the hearts of conservatives, but unfortuneately, the audience was 3 “rino” senators.

The words “porkulus”, “suckers” and “slaves” just are not going to go over well with these three.

Let me say something about “rinos” that most conservatives fail to appreciate. A rino politician is concerned with the best interests of the country. Most rinos like Schwartenegger can get better jobs that are outside of politics. Rinos are relatively immune from political pressure. If they wanted conservative votes, they would be conservatives not rinos. If they wanted liberal votes, they would be democrats, not republicans.

Voinovich and Martinez are no on this bill, not because of political pressure (they are both retiring) but because they think a no vote is the right thing to do. Ditto with Collins, Snowe and Spector yes votes.

The way to get to a rino is by calmly reasoning. I think Voinovich was on board with the deal but reasoned it out and flipped.

The way to go here is to say. “you have the deciding swing votes. you can pretty much write the bill as you wish and the democrats will have to go along as will the republicans. There is a lot of bad stuff in this bill that needs to go. Write the bill as you think for the good of the country”

If the three rinos do this, the bill that comes out will be not to the conservatives liking but probably something they can live with, which is unlike the current porkulus. And it will also probably be frustrating to the dems too but be something they can live with.

Well, Specter doesn’t have all his marbles and those two females from Maine are Republicans in name only. Only a miracle will stop the spawn of crooked Cook County and Chicago politics from converting the United States from a Democratic Republic into a Socialist state.

And of course they will ignore it.

Does Snarlin’ Arlen intend to run again?
If so, is it to early to launch a movement to defeat him?

But are those three really just useful idiots, or are they knowingly with the enemy?

Dear Jim - While I appreciate your “efforts” to Specter, Collins and Snowe - I must tell you how very disappointed I am in you. When are you and the conservative leadership in this country going to quit playing “patty-cake” with these people and really do something about it. Quite frankly, I am sick and tied of the BS letters that fall on deaf ears of Congress. They have gotten away with these tactics for decades because no one EVER really does anything about it. Stand up Man! It’s time for the people who support these jerks to call in their dues. If they can’t vote with us, then it’s time to get them out; stop funding them through the RNC; stop working for them in their states. Better a true enemy, than a false friend!
