Now that Specter, Snowe, and Collins have collected their 40 pieces of silver we can expect them to begin rehabilitating their images before the next election cycle. They will be humble and contrite. They will claim they were acting in our best interests and were stabbed in the back by their honorable collegues across the aisle. They will swear they have seen the light and that they will toe the conservative GOP line if we will only forgive and reelect them. They might even make a few votes and speeches in favor of conservative causes. Don't buy it.
Like the elephant symbol of the GOP I will never forget. I will work hard to support their opponent in bothe the GOP primaries AND the general election even if it means contributing to a Democrat.
I also pledge to boycott any conservattive program or publication that participates in their effort to rehabilitate themselves or otherwise gives them a platform to expplain their actions. I will also withhold any support for the RNC if punitive measures are not taken and will not support any RNC candidate that fails to denounce them by name. Who is with me?
BFD! They are doing that anyway. The party needs to appeal to its base and throw these bums out and turn themselves into real heroes.
Collins has just perpetrated a monumental case of fraud on the party. In an appeal to keep her seat in the Republican column Collins asked for and received the majority of her recent reelection funds from outside Maine. We should have let her lose and saved the money.
I don't know, but I believe both parties have a process for disciplining members. At bottom, from this point on, all three of these RINO swine should be shunned by every other Republican.
As the time comes for each to stand for reelection they should be ignored, left to twist slowly in the wind.
You need a bigger political lens to see the entire picture in the mortgage crisis. Get rid of your political monocle.
