SPECTRE is for it. James Bond convinced him otherwise.

Obama already used up all his capitol. This would be a major defeat for him. If Spec is against it, you know there are a few dems we can pick off that are more to the center.

A RINO comes in handy occasionally.

Better a RINO, than a Democrat. We need them in our coalition to move legislation forward or stop it as in this case.

I myself would like to see him replaced by Toomey, though.

This is how the RINOs get re-elected. History is on his side.

2010 can't come soon enough. There has to be some way to eat into the congressional majorities in both houses. We are in peril and the worst part is, the almost worthless Republican party is our only realistic, near-term hope.

We are in serious peril

There are places that cannot possibly elect a true conservative Republican, therefore, a RINO is preferred over a DemonCrat.

Pennsylvania should not be one of them.

I agree. Voters held his feet to the fire, and he’s waking up.

As long as Philadelphia exists, this is about as good as it's going to get.

Jim Cramer got off the reservation for a while too and now he’s got his mind right. I’m sure the Senator will soon be waking up with a horse head in his bed to get him back in line.

If Steele had any smarts he would now spend bucks and start a TV campaing to fight this bill. It would be worth the millions spent if the TV segments made no bones about the fascist elements in the bill supported by Democrats. On second thought, I don’t know why I am suggesting this. The Republican Party is useless. Perhaps the Chamber of Commerce could be used.

I agree, Steele could help. But neither he nor the GOP will do so.
