fuck you Senator Snowe: Facing possible Tea Party challenger, centrist Snowe moves to the right

By Alexander Bolton - 05/06/11 06:00 AM ET

Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), once the Democrats' great hope for bipartisan healthcare reform legislation, has taken surprisingly conservative positions in the Senate this year.

Snowe stunned longtime Democratic colleagues Wednesday by blocking action on a small-business bill she co-wrote because Democratic leaders refused to allow a vote on an amendment they saw as a political hit job.

“Sen. Snowe actually wrote this bill,” said Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), chairwoman of the Senate Small Business Committee. “She killed her own bill under the guise that she feels so strongly about reg reform.”

Snowe, the ranking Republican on the Small Business Committee, filibustered the bill because Democrats wouldn’t allow her a vote on an amendment she co-sponsored with Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), one of the Senate’s most outspoken conservatives. The amendment would curb federal agencies’ power to implement regulations. For example, it would require regulatory agencies to first study the potential impact on small businesses.

I hope she gets her ass handed to her by a tea partier. craven piece of shit.

to move to the right. Ha, probably the wrong statement, but don't any politicians have any balls anymore in this country!

When the nut jobs have a choice between a tea bagger and a Republican pretending to be a tea bagger, they will pick the real tea bagger every time.

Be who you are or be gone.
