Olympia Snowe: "I Truly Do Not Understand The Skepticism" About Republican Delaying Tactics...
Edited on Wed Sep-23-09 09:09 PM by BlooInBloo
Just heard the quote on the Olbermann rerun. Looking for video now.

If that's true, Snowe, and you're not just a liar, then you're too stupid to be a senator.

But I think you're just a liar.



EDITL: Meh. Politico link was all I could quickly come up with. http://www.politico.com/livepulse/0909/A_dealbreaker_for_Snowe_.html

2. I like how the MSM makes a lone Senator from the minority party
the most important person in crafting the legislation.

Why do we try so hard to gain a majority if the real power is in the minority?

4. I was wondering today, when they said she's the only Republican who would
maybe support us, why are we wasting so much time kowtowing one Senator?

15. You know how people perceive things as going too fast
as they get older- and they ask you to slow down even though you're not really going fast? I think thats what's happening to her. She can't keep up with the job and needs to retire if its too fast for her. She's too SLOW.

16. If I didn't already think she was just plain lying, that might be a speculation I entertained.

19. Olympia Snowe is a corporate lying republican pile of dog shit....Doing the stall
Edited on Wed Sep-23-09 11:58 PM by GreenTea
number for the republicans...

Snowe is pretending to want to work with the Democrats, but just like the other republicans fucks in the gang of six who stalled and diluted the bill now it's Snowe's turn to do the same in her own "moderate" way to fuck up the Dems and the people's will & need for health care reform.

Snowe is a fucking liar and just wants to help the republicans & the insurance corporations by doing the big stall....Another republican will pop up after her then another with more bullshit reasons to stall to kill health care and the much needed public option by waiting it out as the republicans have done for so many years (decades)!

20. Personally, I think her hair dye has damaged her brain and ability to think.
Usually, I figure people are entitled to whatever appearance they want, but her hair dye has always put me off.

I had a hairdresser once who refused to work on hair like that. He said he was afraid of his reputation as a master colorist if one of them told people that he did her hair.

Her face is old and lined. soften the hair color, she'd look better.

22. I am more pissed off that Maine keeps putting her in office and that...
a state with less people in it than my county, is deciding anything about the entire population of the U.S.

The real shame is that the Blue Dogs are no better than she is. At least she is supposed to be a bad guy.
