Boy…you guys are bringing some heat.
Specter may be the only one who pays for his vote. I think Snowe and Collins are safe enough in liberal Maine to be re-elected. The sad thing is, I think more republicans would have voted for the bill if only their pork had been included too! I don’t think that all of them voted “no” on principle, but because their feelings were hurt.
Dear Leader Maobama broke a grand total of SEVEN campaign promises with this one bill.
Her Highness Pelosi ram-rodded this bill through the house Friday, early enough to catch her flight for an eight-day trip to Europe.
The Congressional Democrats locked the Republicans out of the bill’s conference, which was conducted in a secret, midnight meeting.
And the worst of it is, none of it would have been possible, except for the three turncoats, Snowe, Collins, and Specter.
