My God most does indeed have favorites - the Bible’s full of favoritism. However, even perchance I am utterly wrong about God I still think we accomplish far more when we refuse to despair and continue in trying to fight the good fight than we can ever hope to do when we give up all hope. Even a purely materialistic view of history shows that upsets can happen when they are least expected; our National Independence stands as a testament to that fact. :-)

Tar and Feather ala 1774

In a typical tar-and-feathers attack, the subject of a crowd’s anger would be stripped to the waist. Hot tar was either poured or painted onto the person while he or she was immobilized. Then the victim either had feathers thrown on him or her or was rolled around on a pile of feathers so that they stuck to the tar. Often the victim was then paraded around town on a cart or a rail. The aim was to hurt and humiliate a person enough to leave town and not cause any more mischief.

You know, given the utter failure of Maine’s version of statewide healthcare, you would think that Snowe would seriously consider voting against this piece of garbage ObamaCare they are attempting and WILL shove down our collective throats.

Except that to those who are voting for it they know it isn't about "health care" at all. Control.

I just searched Fox News for Snowe...while she is dealing, it doesn’t say this is a done deal.

This post is a scam.

Fox has not reported anything about Snowe is now supporting the Public Option .

There is speculation about the abortion crap.

This post’s support is another link to another vanity which has no real media source.

There’s no stopping this. And you’ll be amazed how easily it will pass the Senate. A year from now, the attitude will be “We got socialized medicine, and the world didn’t end! Those demotards were right.” 2010 will not be a bloodbath, people forget. And the ugly stuff doesn’t hit until 2013, remember. That is deliberately planned.

The republic has been dying for decades; the ascension of Teleprompter Jesus is just the arrival of the minister for the funeral. Barry was right, the Nation Below Canada is no more exceptional than Greece or Turkey or Zimbabwe. The voters have seen to that.

Time to sack DC.

Let’s hope that “stretchin from lamp posts” or tar and feather and riding out of town on a rail are only perceived as violent by those on the receiveing end.

Get’s any more “touchy” than that and it’ll sound like we’ve been infiltrated.

Don’t care if she is up for election or not. She should be stripped of any seniority, loose her committee assignments and only be allowed to sit on the janitorial committee. Then again, janitors should have tons more respect and job importance than she. Let her clean toilets and put the janitors on her committees. At least they work honestly for a living.

Everyone I know from Maine is extremely liberal. She might be the most Conservative person in the State.

Your open mindedness is appreciated. I’m ready for a real fight and willing to put skin in the game - more than just talk and my credit card number - if a leader comes forward.

The way to kill healthcare is to vote for cloture and then vote it down-————————————————————————

That’s crazy talk! It only takes 50 votes to pass it but 60 to get cloture. If they get cloture, they get it passed.

The Demonrats have all these devices like cloture and nuclear option. Have the Republicians no devices to stop them? None?

I do find myself wondering what the storm on the White House and Congress is going to look like, however.

Bloody.

My point, too. Republicans bring a nerf bat to a gun fight. Incomprehensible.
