ERROR in article. Olympia Snowe is NOT a republican. She is NOT a conservative. She's a RINO (republican in name only) who represents the problem with the republican party and she needs to be defeated or removed from the party immediately.
With support from a lone Republican, a key Senate committee Tuesday approved a middle-of-the-road health care plan that moves President Barack Obama's goal of wider and affordable coverage a giant step closer to becoming law.
Maine Republican Olympia Snowe said she was laying aside misgivings for now and voting to advance the bill, a sweeping $829-billon, 10-year health care remake that would help most Americans get coverage without creating a new government insurance plan. "When history calls, history calls," said Snowe.
Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., called his bill "a commonsense, balanced solution." A distance runner, Baucus has endured months of marathon meetings to get this far. It's not the finish line.
Health care legislation is expected to be on the Senate floor the week after next, said a spokesman for Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. But it won't be the Baucus bill. Reid will combine the Finance version with a more liberal proposal from the health committee — with unpredictable results. READ MORE...
NOTE- If you think 829 billion doesn't really mean 1.7 billion, then you just might be an idiot. Again, the middle class, working poor and the wealthy job providing, tax paying 'producers' of society are bending over for the democrats in congress who have tortured them with tax hikes, higher premiums and more debt for their children, while further destroying the health care system. What rocket scientists! Even Obama didn't read the bill. See video below of 'uh, uh, duh,' Barack Obama lying as usual.
We expect incompetence from Obama and the democrats, but this RINO and disgrace to the Republican party Olympia Snowe, needs to be defeated in 2010.
I do not like the call for a public option in the video. how about NO public option, no trojan horse co-ops and no triggers.
ReplyDeleteWe made our first mistake in a year! Thank you for that note. It was supposed to show that even the loons on the left are crying about the Baucus plan. We removed it and are waiting for a Stuart Varney response anyway, since we find him very credible. Thanks..
ReplyDeleteI would not dignify the Baucus markup as even a bill. It's vapor, imaginary and now that it's passed out of committee, it has disappeared. Whatever results from this point needs and will not look anything like either the finance or health committee bills.
ReplyDeleteWe are entirely and completely disenfranchised, taxation without representation.
There seems to be no mechanism within the GOP to target and excise absolute fools like Snowe. Unfortunately, too many Republicans are really "Washingtonians", loyal to the mafiaesque atmosphere in DC. Both sides of the aisle are impressed by nothing but who can be reelected the most cheaply. They are loyal to the perks of the welfare body known as "Congress". We could do no worse ejecting all 540+.
ReplyDelete"Ron paul should take her into a back room and bitch-slap her."
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty crude and misogynist. But you want paint conservatives that way, feel free.
