Agreed. Part of the reason Obama is in office right now is that he inspired his base while Juan McCain didn’t.

Snowe depresses turnout. She has to go.

We’re SO SCREWED

Only if we let ourselves.

Our Founding Fathers did not, and now it is our turn.

“She should be drummed out of the party.”

The democrat party threatens its members with loss of chairmanships, committee memberships, seniority, and for all I know parking privileges if a congressman steps out of line.

The Republicans don’t do anything of the sort, and oddly enough seem to be drifting to the left.

Okay, so today we get socialized medicine. Soon we get amnesty, gun control, higher taxes, more "spread the wealth", reparations, Fairness Doctrine, bloated bureauracracy, more government rules and regulations, "monitoring" of "domestic terrorists," (that's me for sure and maybe you),and on and on.

So what's our tipping point in this Fight for Freedom with this communist government? What's yours? . . and what do we do? . .

Call the RNC and tell them that you will not donate until they either get GOP voting conservative or no $$.....I only donate directly to conservation, pro life, pro gun bitter Bible clingers! None to RNC and I am a RNC life member!

Great job Snowe, now the left wing media and all the libs/dem congress critters are going to call this a “Bi-partisan effort”.

“So, if it was 14-9 why was her vote even needed?”

If even so little as one Republican votes for it, the libs can claim it was bipartisan. Then when Obamacare turns into the disaster we know it will, the libs can point their fingers and say, “the Republicans helped pass it! They are to blame!”

This woman is such a turncoat. She should be drummed out of the party.

Go ahead Olympia, become a democRAT....you’re a RAT already.
+++++++++++++

Time to start a massive campaign against the RATs socialism and against Snowe in particular in Maine...

Defeat the RINOs!

Practically speaking, that is baloney. 1 out of 40 is not bi-partisan, the idiots at the Fringe MSM notwithstanding!

“WHY DO YOU SAY WE ARE SCREWED? IT GOES TO THE FLOOR FOR A VOTE...IT CAN STILL BE STOPPED”

Ever hear of Reconcilation?

Snowe said she didn’t support the bill but voted for it to get the discussion going....

Does she believe we're ALL idiots. Seems a 13-10 vote would have done just that without her creating a bi-partisan aura so Bambi & Co. could boast.
