Sadly, this is where the RINO's and the moderates get their power, as they did in 2006.
Boehner and Mitchell and the real conservatives are powerless and out of the spotlight.
Collins, Snowe and Specter are up front and wheeling-dealing.
Threats from conservative base have no effect on them. The drug of power and celeb trumps all!
The guy on CNN said Republicans gave this a ‘wink-and a nod’ even though they may not vote for it. Then he said some House members may vote for it and called it a victory. Then he said something about Rush Limbaugh losing.
The GOP should have taken out Specter when they had the chance. Maybe, maybe they will get a clue and take him (and the other two) out when they come up for their elections. I, personally, would love it if Steele told them not to count on any party funds.
I remember my daughter going to her first school board meeting. “Mom, you could talk forever. They had their mind made up before the meeting”.
