If you are one of the thousands of conservatives who are bombarding the offices of Senators Collins and Snowe in Maine concerning their support of the so called “compromise” bill. Or if you are a site suggesting calling will make a difference let me tell you one word.

HA!

No amount of outside pressure is going to change the way a person from Maine votes. No amount of shouting ranting threats etc will change the way that Maine votes. And the rants that they should have been kicked out like I’m seeing at Lucianne would mean 60 Democrats in the Senate. Those two votes gave us majorities in the past. Don’t so lightly through them away.

Now Arlen Specter is a totally different story, he is not only vulnerable to pressure but we have candidates such as Rick Santorum or Pat Toomey ready who can beat him in a primary is we put in the effort. That is where the direction should lie. The reports that no republican wants to be vote 60 is certainly referring to Specter.

I’m an agnostic on this either way. As Rush suggested we are not going to stop this bill. Any change to improve it is better than none. The best we can do is to pin it on Obama and the democrats so that if it is the disaster we all think it is they will own it.

Remember if they thought it was such a good bill they wouldn’t care if republicans voted for it they would be happy to take the credit and let us twist in the wind. The media will try to twist as a bi-partisan bill. That’s the fight we need to have.

Update: Michelle disagrees.
