Well, I do admit that this was a pretty dumb way to protest.

However, Snowe ignores Conservatives at her own peril. And, I liked the dismissive contempt that the bloggers showed the protest.

Far better to be underestimated and overperform, than be overestimated and underperform.

Yeah, I liked the quote:

“If the Republican Party does not open up to diverse ideas, they may see more senators, such as Sen. Arlen Specter from Pennsylvania, leaving the party."

good riddance. See ya. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

This is a great idea. It’s along the lines of when we protested the toll hikes by paying in pennies and nickles.

Agree. Like there would be any difference if she had a D after her name instead of an R(ino).

Sen. Snowe, for her part, was unfazed by the white crystalline substance that found its way to her Maine office. “Everyone has their own prerogative,” she said. “I have a job to do, and I choose to focus on doing that job.”

"....... and that job," she added with a chuckle, "is to outliberal ANY Democrat and STUFF IT IN THE FACE OF REPUBLICANS whenever possible! God, I love this job."

“Snowe’s press representative, however, said Tuesday only 23 bags had arrived, and that they had been shipped by AG Lock and Hardware, an ACE Hardware outlet in Brooklyn, N.Y. All rock salt that the office receives will be donated to Preble Street Resource Center, a homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Portland, the spokeswoman said.”

Good lord..just what the homeless people need right now Ms. Snowe...a bunch of rock salt.....lol!! How about you back off from helping the Obama administration destroy our economy with government run healthcare and cap and tax and maybe these homeless people can get JOBS!! Instead of promises of ‘hope’ and ‘change’ and rock salt, they might prefer to have good paying jobs again!

The RINO’s are dividing the party. They need to stop pushing conservatives out of the party!

Great plan. 1200 pounds of rock salt should last them a while. Or are they going to feed it to people? Or they could have a rock salt sale. Or they could make a lot of ice cream.

Snowe went on to say that she knows this is not a job for most women and she isn’t really smart enough or strong enough to stand up to the bullies, just like when she was in the 7th grade, so her strategy is to be nice to them so they won’t laugh at her in the lunchroom. So far it is working and we have a bi-partisan section of the Capital lunchroom. I only have to clear their dirty dishes after lunch and they let me sit near them. It’s great.

"Snowe said that she had not seen any rock salt in any of her offices."

And this wonderfully illustrates the problem. These idiots are insulated from the opinions of the voters by their staff who open the mail and answer the phone and read the Email. It's about time we forced these idiots into permanent 'Town Hall Mode' until they relearn that the voters are the Managers and they (Snowe) are the servants. Not a good permanent way for government to be run, but by god, it's needed as a short term dose of reality.

For history sake. During the election there was a few signs out there highlighted by a picture of a snow plow that stated “Snowe Removal in Progress”. Cute protest.
