Overtime Bill Passes Senate 52-47: Kudos to 5 Repubs that Crossed...

Specter, Campbell, Chafee, Murkowski, and Snowe...

A big "Fuck you" to the Zell-out for doing his thing yet again...

1. Maine, shame on you for voting in Collins.

Chellie Pingree would have made the vote that much sweeter.

2. Collins isn't too bad...

She usually gets it right. I was surprised to see this...

4. Collins ain't great either. Would rather have had Pingree

sitting in her seat, no doubt about it.

Will email the Senators and let them know what I think of their votes.

7. I didn't vote for her!

And I can't wait to see who runs against her ...

Olympia Snowe has turned away from the dark side more frequently than Collins, but both of them have acted sensibly a few times.

I still think they should both turn Independent and hold the balance of Senate power in their hadns.

6. The labor dept pimp-for-employers

was on C-Span saying how wonderful that these regulations were, just because they weren't the previous ones!!

So we had the choice between horrendous and horrible?

Three cheers for all the Democrats except Zell, and the 5 Republicans!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

When Democrats get a SPINE and MAKE THE CASE, THE PEOPLE CAN PREVAIL!!:toast:
