Olympia Smowe gave us Obamacare by casting the vote to give the Senate Finance Committee the 60% they needed to move it out of committee. No reasonable and sane human could have imagined it would not succeed on the Senate floor when the Dems at the time had the floor. So you have someone who you say is 50% worse than Snowe? On every vote that mattered, all I can remember is that she wasn’t there to keep the wolves at bay.
Snowe always was a progressive, period. End of story.
And she was not primaried out, because too many of us sat around bitching about it rather than actively opposing her.
Thanks for posting this. In the long drawn out saga that is the Obamacare mess Snowe’s key vote is often forgotten. She is the reason that this expensive monstrosity is the law of the land. Rinos who vote with the democrats when it really matters are really just wolves in sheep clothing deceiving good people who think that they are really better than the dems.
That being said, I live in South Dakota and will vote for Rounds so that the democrat doesn’t win. All candidates support amnesty anyway so what’s a girl to do. Reid needs to go and we need the Senate.
I will never however hold my nose again for POTUS. The list of people that I will vote for is VERY small and is led ( so far) by Cruz. Christie, Rubio, Jeb and god forbid Romney will not get my vote. I will write in Mark Levin.
Just thought that bore repeating. On the most important votes, RINOs vote with the Democrats--that includes nominations.
