Specter, Snowe, Collins Anger GOP Base - (Freepers make the news!)
Newsmax ^ | February 8, 2009 7:39 PM | Tim Collie

“Arlen Specter is DONE,” wrote a blogger named steelfish on the FreeRepublic Web site. “He won his last primary by less than 1 percent against a real conservative of Pat Toomey. And only because the President Bush came to PA and campaigned for him. He is DONE.”

Specter is up for re-election in 2010. Washington Republican strategists tell Newsmax this weekend that Specter's defection has sealed the deal: he will face a primary for the GOP nomination.

The nation is worth saving in 2010, but it’s too late. The election of Obama guaranteed the legalization of millions of undocumented persons. It will be ACORN’s job to get them to vote, thus negating the votes of the rest of us.

I’m wondering if the 4+ billion for ACORN isn’t for training and arming Obama’s “civilian” army. Would someone kindly ask Snowe, Specter and Collins what they know about that expense? What’s the ACORN money to be spent on? (Beside vote fraud, that is.)

I am going to contribute to who ever runs against these three traitors in their next election. And I’m not even from their states.

Specter probably didn’t even read the bill, as the health care provisions would mean that neither he nor Ted Kennedy would have received treatment for their cancers. At their ages, treatment would not be “cost effective”.

I live in Tennessee and just yesterday, the TN GOP booted crook Speaker Williams out of the party.

I'm over near Chattanooga and have been so wrapped up in this spending "stimulus" boondoggle I hadn't heard that. Excellent news! I am really, really hoping the 'Pubbies don't blow their opportunity to shine as they hold the majority in the Legislature.

I’m going to put every spare minute of free time, as well as every spare nickel I earn, into the defeat of Snowe and Collins.

They are traitors to everything that America stand for, and I am utterly disgusted by both of them.

Laura Ingraham got into it with Spectre yesterday, funny as he$$. He called her “young lady”. You go Laura.

I heard that...Laura blew it off, but I heard it as a condescending slam from a "royal" Senator....a how dare you question me attitude.....This Sphincter don't stink? It do!

Any GOP Senator who votes for this needs to be cut loose by the RNC-period.

If the RNC expects to survive they had better let that be known.

Amen! The Tenn. GOP did the right thing.

The House GOP did the right thing.

And GOP senator who votes for this bill needs to be kicked out of the GOP.

They are useless anyway.

...the three blackhearted stooges have decided to ration health care to helpless elderly patients. Good thinking!

Of course, their rationing "plan" doesn't apply to their own health care.
