The question asked was which RINOs voted for Obamacare. Olympia Snowe voted for Obamacare.
you can rant all you want, and I understand the frustration, because I share it. However, it doesn’t change the fact that not voting, or voting Democrat, DOES NOT TEACH THEM A LESSON. It just DOES NOT DO THAT. They don’t suffer, they don’t learn, but we suffer. If it really would teach them a lesson, I would think differently, but it just does not do that, not at all.
ALSO Whatever Democrat who might beat McCain or Flake will vote for Obama Care and for the IRS and with Obama all the time - as bad as McCain and Flake are - will not do that. They will not vote Harry Reid for Majority Leader. Period.
How do you show them? You win a few more primaries. You join Tea parties and contribute to good candidates directly. It’s a process, not a destination.
Keep pissing on your base, GOPe shill. It’s a winning strategy. /s
See #63, GOPe shill.
Snowe's vote in committee was necessary for the bill to come to the Senate floor, and she knew it. She was getting plenty of heat to vote "no" and kill the thing in committee. She knew, too, the plan to get a Senate vote, bypassing the supermajority (60 vote) thingamabob that attaches to most legislation.
I’m willing to concede to you....she’s a weasel and I’m sure as hell not going to defend her!!
“What did they do then to roll back liberalism? Nothing. In fact, they couldn’t wait to roll-over for the Dems in the minority and the MSM.”
The republican party is the false front of opposition to
the democrat party. They are there simply to look like they
are opposing the democrat party but in reality they are in
on the coup. The establishment republicans knew all along
what the Obama was doing to the TEA party and said and did
nothing about it because it was to their advantage also.
There are only a few conservative republicans, the rest
are democrat or democrat/lite.
So in the case of John Cornyn where there is a lying
democrat and a lying democrat who says he’s a conservative
republican on the ballot, whats the point in voting for either?
I think I’ll write in Ted Nugent.
“Staying home is the same as voting Democrat.”
And voting for RINO’s is worse, because we get the liberalism, only it has a GOP label on it.
Given the two options, only voting for the races with good choices in them makes the most sense.
What you, and Rush, have failed to do here is provide something that WILL work on the GOP.
Nobody’s got a plan - not you, and not Rush (who ought to be doesn’t). Rove is out there pleading for votes and cash, and can’t understand why he isn’t getting any (and of all people he ought to know what to do).
As such, vote your conscience. It’s as simple a plan, and it has the benefit of being honest and straightforward.
Really, they ran the whole shooting match for two yrs. House, Senate, White House and yet did not do amnesty, why? It’s a loser for them politically or they would have. They want the Republican eunuchs to do their dirty work and they almost did so or will do so soon enough.
When Republicans do go through with the Chamber of Crony Communism’s plans for amnesty there will still be Republican Party kool-aid chuggers on here telling us how we have to vote GOP or insert the world ends excuse of the day.
I can’t vote democrat but right now I don’t have any reason to vote republican either as they are essentially the same party with the difference being the price tag.
Reminder, Obamacare passed without a single Republican vote.
Are you a liberal troll? You got it backasswards. Besides, Dems and GOPe use open primaries to shove RINO’s down our throats.
BS. Voting for a RINO is the same as a voting for a Dem.
It's about ousting them altogether and replacing them with a new crew that's more representative of conservatives.

I don’t think anyone should vote Democrat.
I don’t think they should vote RINO either.

Give me somebody worth voting for and I vote for them. Don’t and I don’t. It’s very simple. When given the choice between Romneycare and Obamacare I found nobody worth voting for.
we need more free agents

She voted no on the final bill but did her part to advance it to passage. So yes, we have Obamacare thanks in part to a GOP RINO.
but will a RINO vote for Reid or Pelosi as leader?
