The Senior Senator from Maine.
Good luck raising funds for YOUR liberal-lite party.
Wow, lucky stiff
couldn't resist, my bad.
Well, let’s see:
GHW Bush wasn’t acceptable, nor was Dole, nor was Frist, nor was Lott, nor was Newt, nor was Bob Livingston, nor was Hastert, nor is Boehner, nor is McConnell....
“Head ‘em up, move ‘em out...rawhide!”
Ridiculous, I don’t care who Santorum supported he would not win in PA...You are saying the guy who lost-lost because he supported the guy who is still in office?
Good luck in getting your point of view represented in your Regional Party...mostly in the South...excluding Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee( wavering).
That’s a 10-4! The Pubbies need to refuse to caucus with Snowe, Spectre, and Collins if they want to see any of my money.
Do you understand, since things look bad in Minnesota...if she switches, the Dem’s have their 60th vote?
(Per AP)Vitter issued a written statement: This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible. Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there - with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way.
Apparently he and his wife and his family and his church are doing fine, but for whatever reason you can't get over it.
Snowe is the widow of Peter Snowe, a Maine GOP House member who was killed coming back to Auburn from Augusta on a snowy day. She ran for his vacant seat and won.
She then ran for US House. She barely won a race against Pat McGowan, a lib from rural Maine. That was the first race that I skipped over on the ballot. Neither of them were worth a vote.
She’s been in the Senate for a while now. As I posted earlier, the Maine GOP seems geared up to re-elect Snowe and Collins to the exclusion of anyone else. To this point, it has been a useless organization to any candidate other than Snowe and Collins. I hope the new chair can get them going in a different direction, but he is going to run head on into the Snowe-Collins power structure and they might run him out of there as well.
The parties need to regionalize. North democrap - south republican. Easier that way. Vote with your feet.
Also, we replaced DeWine with Sherrod Brown who flew back from his mother’s wake to vote for stimulus...60th vote. We might have had a chance with DeWine...think about it.
“Better to Vote for a real Donkey than a Rino who acts like an Ass”
Spector is still there isn't he? Toomey was rejected by the senior GOP in favor of Spector, even by the Santorum. Spector seems to always get the 'union' support, now why did not the 'union' find favor to get out and help Santorum? I just can't imagine why old Spector could not help get out the vote for the one who assisted him in his self preservation.
It already is that way. Vote with your feet or stay in "enemy territory", your choice....
Tired of cowtowing to Yanks.....
I think you just made the other guy’s point.
The South won’t remain GOP...people vote for winners...influence. A regional GOP is a castrated party. Your state has already gone to the dark side...two Dems as Senators and voted for the first time in what 50 years or so for a Dem president...you are living in a Democrap state...eve have a Dem governor. You are a Southern state.
Actually all I can do is give my opinion. The voters of Louisiana will have to make that decision which I am sure they will vote him back in as that happens most of the time anyway. Anyway, wasn’t it his wife the one who said “she would cut off his penis if he ever did such a thing?” and that was a month prior to the information coming to light? Oh well again he seems to have it all sewn up tight. He will be a senator for the next fifty years...
After her defection last week, it doesn’t appear that it will make much difference.
We are stuck with her until 2012. I don’t expect that she will run again. Maine will have some Democrat in her seat from that point on. By then, all that will be left here will be lawyers, environmental trust fund moonbats, academics, government employees and free loaders taking advantage of the perpetual welfare system that the Democrats use to keep people voting their welfare wallet.
She clearly has mental problems because when did she join the party and WHY exactly? The Republicans are the party of Reagan and have always been more on a conservative slant. Now you could take Rudy Giuliani who is a social liberal, but in the end he is tough on crime, foreign affairs and is small gov’t and tax cuts nationally. As this Snowe job voted for this socialist joke of a bill it needs to be asked just WHY and HOW she was EVER a ‘Republican’? She now has her name attached to this disaster. Let her take it to the grave.
