is she brain dead or from a democrat district?
Treasonous Ho.
In order to be brain dead she would have had to have a brain to begin with
Shoeshoe face having a meeting with her head commie.
Isn’t it weird how the commies in the politburo don’t sign on for the same crap they force people to?
Isn’t it obvious how this works? we are having the same scam being run in Florida - You take a commie RINO, in this case Crist, the media gets behind them, they win, and then they vote with the rest of the commies. Their prize, a seat in the WDC politburo.
maybe dorothy’s house will fall on her
Snowe is an utterly reprehensible, contemptible, moronic dirtbag, IMHO.
Just sent an email to her Senate website, like that does any good to these RINO progressi-fascists.
Do you think Congress should vote on bills without reading them? How about voting on bills that don’t even exist yet, except in fragments?
The Senate Finance Committee is poised to vote on a massive health care reform bill on Tuesday allegedly authored by Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.). A glaring, outrageous, unreported fact is that the bill’s actual text has been kept secret. No one actually knows what’s in it – not even the senators who will be told to vote for it.
Perhaps the Nobel committee will award President Obama another prize to share with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, for “imagination in medical financing.”
Bits and pieces are leaking out, but entire sections will be added later. That’s what happened with the House version. Nobody read the bill, and 75 “phantom” amendments were added after the vote. A similar maneuver happened in the Senate when a key committee approved another version of a sweeping health care bill in July without seeing the text. Actual language was unveiled months later in September.
In short, senators will follow recent precedent and be voting on something that does not even exist yet.
Even the Congressional Budget Office, which issued a report this week saying the Baucus plan would cost under $900 billion instead of more than a trillion, was operating without actual text. When the CBO crunched the detailed, 1,018-page House version this summer, it reported that it would cost far more than President Obama claimed. Obama then broke precedent and summoned the CBO director to the White House for a “talk.” Now the CBO says the Senate bill will cost less. They think. They hope. They speculate.
What’s more, CNSNews.com reports that an aide to Sen. Harry Reid said that current debates may be irrelevant because an entirely different version might be inserted into an unrelated House tax bill, HR 1586. That’s the measure that levies a 90 percent tax on bonuses given to executives of firms that receive bailout money. Among other things, this could be a way of getting around the constitutional requirement that all tax bills originate in the House.
you can only excerpt one line but that one was enough to make me puke.
“diligence” meaning not reading the bill and not having any curiosity about it.
Hussein and Snowe, best buddies.
Re the photo: (Obama) “So, are you dating?”
I thought that Vulcans were intelligent. This Moxie Chick is an imbecile. Bob
great picture of a couple of left wing nuts
Olympia,did I tell you how beautiful you are-Obama
If the Republicans had a spine they’d strip her of her party credentials. She has always been a plague on the party, but this is beyond the pale. She is a female Arlen Specter.
I’d propose three separate bills to my congressperson but he’s an in-the-tank liberal.
First - No bill can be any longer than the original Constitution. Period.
Second - We should be governed upon whatever langauge our representatives voted on. If they only read the “conceptual language” that is what we should adhere to. No legalese
Third - All bills must be about one subject. No defense spending bills that have healthcare provisions.
Can someone who is represented by a congressman with a brain please submit them? They’d go a long way into fixing this morass in WDC.
It will be interesting to see just what it was that she sold out for. Follow the money. Follow the perks.
