Only the Senate and House Republicans can save Obama now by compromising and lending his extremist legislation the veneer of bipartisanship in order to remove it as a political issue.
If the likes of GOP Sens. Olympia Snowe (Maine), Susan Collins (Maine), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Orrin Hatch (Utah) and others refuse to go along with Obama on healthcare and on cap-and-trade, they will force him to pass both programs as one-party bills. Not only is it possible that as public support runs out on these measures he will fail even to get 50 votes to pass them, but it is likely that even if they go through, they doom his administration to perpetual unpopularity.

I’m sure the RINOs can be counted on to show their “bipartisanship” yet again, to the embarrassment of anyone who considers themselves to be Republican. This is a sad time for the once-GOP.
You’re a dreamer if you think Snow and Collins won’t be licking Obama’s bootstraps.
They've turned their back on the GOP many times before... what makes Dick think they wouldn't do the same now? And what will the GOP do to punish them? Same as before: nothing. They screwed us before and the GOP did nothing about it.
yes, and even mary bozo-mack voted with the socialists in the house last week on cap and trade.
