Snowe to Vote Yes on Finance Bill

Exactly. The people have waited way too long for us. Its time to get it done once and for all.

You don't know Maine very well do you? She she gets voted out, very unlikely, she'll be replaced by a Democrat.

You not only don't know Maine very well, you also don't know politics very well, or how to read a calendar. Snowe won in 2006 (with 74% of the vote), which means it is IMPOSSIBLE for her to be voted out in 2010. I personally wouldn't bet on her losing in 2012, but at least she will be on the ballot then. Please do not make silly comments, it just wastes my time.

Because she voted for health care reform?

That's funny...unless of course, you're saying the Republicans are even dumber than first thought.

Is that it?

Aw jeez mfbattle you sure nailed me on that one. We've got 100 senators and I got mixed up on one. High 5 on your ability to split hairs. Not that I give a rats behind whether I waste your time or not.

Knowing some basic facts is not spliting hairs.

Please keep voting out the rinos. Then, when the theocratic wingers only have 30 seats, they can be safely marginalized.

SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. — Any attempt by Senate Democrats to pass health care legislation with no Republican support won't have the vote of Nebraska's senior senator.

Sen. Ben Nelson, a Democrat, said Sunday that he would vote against using a tactic called reconciliation to push through a health care bill.

Just to pile onto what Stuart said, the GOP is the least popular party this side of a NAMBLA summer picnic:

Why should anyone care what any of them think about anything?
-
Also, can anyone find a single example of any Republican ever saying, "let's not do this without Democratic support" during the era of Rove?

At least the NAMBLA summer picnic doesn't have an aunt problem.

Whoops, my link goes to the wrong thing. Well, somewhere out there on the Internets there's a thing about how support for Dems has softened, but support for the GOP hovers around 20%-- south even of the crazification factor.

Elvis, I see it has occurred to you to that while the republicans are predicting huge gains in 2010 because support for the democrats has softened, they ignore the fact that support for their own party has fallen off the cliff. Reality will never play a part in their plans.

I think also that they get this false sense of importance by proudly sporting the viewership totals of the FOX programs. I've been pointing out that they have a serious viewer overlap problem there.

Now that something has been passed, they might just find themselves to be force of none.

You all don't need her, you already have us outnumbered by a large margin. Which begs the question: why is it taking so long to get this garbage passed?

Because the democrats are trying to get at least a little bipartisanship. Personally, I'm all for ramming through a plan with a strong public option and running over any republican that gets in the way. The republican party has no alternative plan and are working under the idea that any defeat for the President is a victory for them. The people without insurance aren't a factor for the republicans. It's what's best for their dying party that matters.

"You all don't need her, you already have us outnumbered by a large margin."

2/3rds of a nut:

On the FOX thread you crowed all about how numerous you guys are.
.
Can I recommend you up your dose? You seem to have problems tracking yourself...

So I ask you once again sacredh, what's taking so long?

See 7.2

She's just playing the "I'm doing what's best for my constituents " thing. She's been in the Senate long enough to realize that party loyalty should always trump doing the right thing. I suspect heroin addiction.

"I Know I'm foolish, but I thought her vote was supposed be for the benefit of those who sent her to Washington."
.
That is a good question for all the senators not just Snow. But for some reason it never seems to get asks by our esteemed press core. Not sure why though.

We're not the party of no, we're the party of HELL NO!!

And that is why only 20% of voters identify themselves as republicans.

^ And, interestingly enough, and much more importantly, a much more Americans consider themselves conservative than liberal.

Should not be an "a" there.

Id rather see Prohibition repealed.

We have about an equal number of bars and churches in my area. The bars have larger and more faithful congregations.

Amen to that!

^ Good one apollyono7. I don't go to either. I think that in the last 10 years the only times I have been in a bar has been to pick up fish sandwiches on the way home from work.
