This is why I believe that RNC Chair needs to expel the three of them from the party. If the GOP wants to prove that it has returned to its conservative roots, they need to bounce Collins Spectre and Snowe-job out of the party. Otherwise, what’s the point?
Amen!
Steele has no authority to expell or do anything else to a sitting Reublican Senator who is elected by their State not nationally. That is also a slippery slope you don’t want to go down at the national level.
I don’t agree with their votes even a little but not for Michael Steele to determine that should throw them out of the Party.
Where do some of you get your information about what the RNC Chair can and cannot do? You do know that every Senator is elected at the state level in a federal election which means the State GOP Chair has little leverage to speak of either. It would have to go before the State Committee and can guarantee you in Maine that the Maine GOP is just glad to have two Republican senators representing them since the state is not exactly Republican.

Probably the best we can do is a censure resolution from RNC committee.
