A repost from yesterday:
"I hate to point this out, ladies and gentlemen, but:
"They're a vote. They caucus with us. They give us Republican committee chairmen, and insure that the Republican bills come to the floor, and the Democrat amendments do not.
"That's the way politics work. If you want to be pure, you'll have to start a commune.
No one replied....
Since you didn't get a reply, here is one: you are right. If it weren't for Rino's like Snowe and Collins, Maine would have two Dims in the Senate. If it weren't for Chaffee, Rhode Island would have another Jack Reid in the Senate. It's sad, because these one-time Republican states deserve better, but it is certainly true.
That's right! And because we have a Republican majority, we've finally gotten a handle on deficit spending!
No, wait...
Our government is strinking!
Ummm...
Okay, well the Bush tax cuts are definately permanent!
No? Oh...
With a Republican majority we won't have to worry about the Farm bill or the Medicare plan or CFR or the Highway bill or...
Errr...okay, I give up. What, exactly, has a Republican majority in the Senate gotten us?
