Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine) released the following statement today on the status of the health reform legislation currently pending before the United States Senate: Having been fully immersed in this issue for this entire year and as the only Republican to vote for health reform in the Finance Committee, I deeply regret that I cannot support the pending Senate legislation as it currently stands, given my continued concerns with the measure and an artificial and arbitrary deadline of completing the bill before Christmas that is shortchanging the process on this monumental and trans-generational effort.

Snowe could have voted no in committee and kept this monster from ever affecting our lives.

BINGO!
The dog crap smells better and is far more useful.
If Snowe had voted no in committee what would have happened? Could she have kept it from coming to the floor for debate?
Should have thought about that a looooonnnnnnngggg time ago.
OK,then.Why don't you wave your magic wand driving them both out of the Senate and see what you get as replacements.
Good God,you guys just don't get it.NEW ENGLAND IS LOST! LOST....LOST....LOST! The *VERY* best we can hope for from New England is an *occasional* reasonable vote.You'll *never* get that from a New England RAT.Chances are you'll occasionally get that from a New England RINO.
It's *JUST THAT SIMPLE*.
“See, we’re not prostitutes after all.”
How effing decent of them.
Perhaps we shouldn't put them on trial after all.
You are stupid. NO GOVERNMENT has spent their way to PROSPERITY. Cry all you want. The ship is going down hard. You are a FOOL.
Yes. When she voted she said that she believed we “should move the process along”. She had to know that the rats would get their votes one way or another after it was out of committee.

Sure you don’t support it as it stands...means I want my bribe and I want it now!
Now we know just what a stinker this bill is. Snowe, Collins, Dean and the Seattle Times editorial board are all agin it. It must stink to high heaven.
Well their vote isn’t needed. If it was...
Who the heck knows. I wouldn’t bet against one of them caving in that situation.
That’s a good point. With NO republican votes Obama and the democrats own OBAMACARE.
Harry Reid released them both after Nelson got his dough and made 60 votes.
And, we should all issue apologies to Dog Crap everywhere.
High level whoring a la Nelson.
One can only hope.......
They probably have him propped up with a bottle of bourbon in a broom closet somewhere in the senate building so he's sure to be around to vote if the weather gets impossible.
