Why doesn’t Snowe just join the Spectre wing of the RINO party?
We will see if Snowe is
a Rat too!
The Marxists will get enough RINOs to cave to pass this. They don’t need very many. Instead of forcing them to stand down or take the nuclear/reconciliation option, they’ll go along with it.
The burning question remains: Why doesn’t congress want to participate in the plan themselves? Why have they exempted themselves and federal employees?
I didn’t know if that was even questionable.
My sentiments exactly
Bend over people. You are going to be forced to eat what obombanation tells you to eat, dring what he tells you to drink, weigh what he tells you to weigh, live as long as he does or does not want you to live and there is NOTHING you will be able to do about it because too many people think the enemy will compromise.
Snowe will happily betray the American public—she’s very practiced at it.
A "mob"? A "pack"? A "herd" or a "swarm"?
I am taking a more cynically sympathetic view of Senator Snowe continued participation in the discussion. By continuing to participate she denies the Democrats some maneuvering room while they try to seek the fig leaf of a single bipartisan participant. I take GREAT pleasure in watching the nut-roots go ballistic about any possible compromise.
They don't need any at all. The Democrats have controlling majorities in both houses of Congress. They're trying to round up Republicans so they can share the blame when the program's a failure.
Sad but true. The GOP in Washington is just “Socialist Party B.” There is no difference. Our health care system is about to be turned over to the Post Office, BMV and County Welfare Department.
I remember watching an episode of “COPS” when they went to Russia around the time of the collapse of the USSR. A guy got stabbed in a knife fight (the Russian cops immediately began rounding up the Azerbaijani students as “usual suspects”). They followed the victim to the ER where he got treatment...my God! The hospital was a chamber of horrors! I wouldn’t take my cat there!
Coming soon to your local hospital....
Theres "nothing wrong" with the system ? You got to be kidding. The fact that its the governments intervention that has contorted things: malpractice out of control, no flexibility in policies offered, insurance tied to employers, free health care but no mandatory insurance, etc doesent obviate the fact the SOMETHING is wrong
Its just that Democrap solutions are always worse than the problem.
“they’ll go along with it”
in exchange for various sweeteners for themselves, of course
Of course she’ll jump ship, Maine receives $1.41 per $1 they pay in Federal Taxes as of 2005. NH receives $0.71 per $1 they pay in Federal Taxes as of 2005. Those Ba$tards next door, of course our congresswhores will try and fix that for NH.

That Russia episode of COPS is one of my favorites. Same one where some hooker tries to steal a guy’s wallet, so he locks her in the bedroom and calls the Militsya. When they arrive, COPS camera crew in tow, he opens the bedroom door, flings the blanket off of her, leaving her lying naked on the bed. He then says something to her in Russian, which is translated via subtitles as “Americans here to see you!” That’s classic TV!
She wants a much bigger payoff than they’ve offered so far.
Or when the cops arrest two lovers in the car in the park, and the cop gets into the female’s car passenger seat and says “Now you will drive us to police station!”
She wouldn’t be able to get anywhere near as much for her vote, if she were just another Democrat.
I wonder what Snowe is being offered for her cooperation. It has to be enough to justify losing her next election. She would not be with the Republicans at all on this if she did not think that voting with the Democrats would endanger her reelection.
