Snowe: I Haven't Abandoned Fiscal Responsibility, Support For Porkulus Says Otherwise

Olympia Snowe (R-ME) was quoted yesterday saying:

"I believe in the traditional tenets of the Republican Party: strong national defense, fiscal responsibility, individual opportunity. I haven't abandoned those principles that have been the essence of the Republican Party. I think the Republican Party has abandoned those principles."

She does have a point that Republicans have abondoned fiscal responsiblility over the past few years. That's why they got voted out of the majority. The GOP have been trying to return to that basic tenet since they got their wake-up call last election.

Unfortunately, Sen. Snowe, one of the reasons why so many are furious at the Turncoat Caucus, including you, is that they didn't live up to the tenet of fiscal responsibility when they voted for the porkulus and overspending bills.

Specter lost Republican support because of his fiscal irresponsibility not for any other reason.

Specter Receives Backlash For Turning on Fiscal Responsibility

Sen. Specter Jeered For Voting For Stimulus Plan PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ―

U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter was greeted with jeers at a press conference in Cranberry Township.

Conservatives are fuming after Specter cast the deciding vote that led to the passage of President Barack Obama's stimulus plan.

Specter, 79, acknowledges his run for re-election will be tough.

He says he's not completely happy with Obama's plans but he points out that he was able to cut the price tag by over $100 billion and he says he was able to increase the amount of tax cuts.

Even so, Specter acknowledges the Republican Party's conservative wing will attempt to unseat him in next year's primary race.

Six years ago, Specter barely won the Republican primary, but he says he's not afraid to fight for the job one more time.

My Thoughts

He deserves worse. I think that the people in Pennsylvania need to send him pork rinds, protest outside his office, call and write in their displeasure with his actions. We cannot let up. If we do we'll wake up one day and be Sweden or, dare to think, California.
