Watching the Senate vote live on C-SPAN 2, my near five-year old daughter asked what they were voting for. I told them they were voting to take her piggy bank away. Then I explained that they were voting so that families like ours who work hard and do our homework could have our money given away to those who do not.
Shame on the GOP 3, I will never forget how you merrily joined the Democrat socialist party in passing this Friday the 13th horror.
A pox on you and all who voted for this ‘monster’.
In your honor, a fitting tribute:

They have 60?
RC (Diary) Friday, February 13th at 6:05PM EST (link)I know they have 58 members, 3 RINOs, but Kennedy and Brown aren’t there.
That’s 59, not 60.
And it should be made very clear that if they have 59, it fails. They can’t hold the doors open for their absent members to show up.
The Senate will remain open for business
Hammer2008 (Diary) Friday, February 13th at 6:10PM EST (link)and the White House is providing transportation so that Sen. Brown (OH) can make it back to cast the 60th vote.
In the meantime, we could petition one of the GOP 3 to change their votes. I’m calling them again and counting on each of their mailboxes to be “full”.

So what will the RNC do?
SteveLA (Diary) Friday, February 13th at 7:10PM EST (link)Short answer…nothing.
Won’t cut off funding to their future campaigns.
Won’t back primary challengers.
Won’t push for any sort of “punishment”.
It’s the three against the rest of the party, and the party does not seem to care, or at not least willing to do anything to them when the vast majority of the party and Republicans country wide disagree with them.

Repeat - DEMAND THEIR RESIGNATIONS
msagacious (Diary) Friday, February 13th at 8:05PM EST (link)As I said in another comment… DEMAND their resignations!!! They didn’t do this for those whom they represent – they did it to get into the good graces of their new leader… If they don’t work for me, they need to leave!
Who will be running...
Matt Genk (Diary) Friday, February 13th at 8:43PM EST (link)…against these idiots the next time around? Hopefully I’ll have enough money in the bank to donate to a conservative candidates campaign.

Not a penny for the RNC or the NRSC
Lammo (Diary) Saturday, February 14th at 2:02AM EST (link)unless they publicly, in writing, ban, cut off, exile, disown, ignore and absolutely refuse to fund Snowe,Collin AND Specter. Not just one of them, all three. These three are the enemy and the friend of my enemy is my enemy.

Specter jeered at PA press conference
Hammer2008 (Diary) Saturday, February 21st at 5:09PM EST (link)serves him right; I expect a lot more of this:

Arlen "I'll take my chances" Specter video
izoneguy (Diary) Saturday, February 21st at 5:57PM EST (link)The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
thanks Izone
Doc Holliday (Diary) Saturday, February 21st at 9:41PM EST (link)I didn’t hear any jeers, just friendly people showing deserved disgust and dismay.
Molon Labe!
Jeers comment of course written by the MSM
izoneguy (Diary) Saturday, February 21st at 9:46PM EST (link)The MSM I think tries to play this up. They are trying to portray those that oppose Specter as rabid, foaming at the mouth right wingers.
That is why it is important to not believe anything written by the MSM.
Of course Arlen acts as if his vote saved the United States for sure ruin if we did not get a stimulus bill passed immediately.
As a follow up go look at this diary:
