Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is correct about the GOP

The GOP is nothing but a right wing cult group made up of birthers, the KKK, and other white supremacists. It doesn’t matter what any bill on the floor of the Senate is about, this Cult is well represented in the Senate and these republican Senators will continue to vote “NO!” on behalf of these groups, because none of them want the “big scary black man in the White House” to move our country forward:

GOP = Gonna Obstruct Progress!

Olympia Snowe on MSNBC saying why she will vote against the Healthcare bill in the Senate because it will cost too much and agrees with Joe Scarborough that it could hurt small businesses. Froma Harrop, syndicated columnist who votes for moderate Republicans writes from Providence, RI how Snowe and Collins are no longer free-thinkers in the GOP but have fallen lockstep behind the reich-wing “Party of NO!”

Snowe was perfectly placed to insist on a more fiscally stable reform in return for her support. She possessed the 60th Senate vote needed to move the legislation forward. Instead, she stood aside, empowering Connecticut independent Joe Lieberman to force the Democratic leadership to shovel more taxpayer dollars into insurance industry pockets. The end result was legislation that would probably pass anyway but at unnecessarily higher cost.

Meanwhile, Maine’s other so-called moderate Republican senator, Susan Collins, was less than useless. Her main contribution was to stand behind the media-enveloped Lieberman to get her mug in the photos.

Rumor has it that Sen. John McCain is soliciting Democrats from districts that voted for him to switch political parties and that we shall soon hear of Rep. Chris Carney of Pennsylvania’s 10th District to be one of the first to respond to McCain’s siren call:

Looks like the angry old white guy FAILED again:

Sophomore Rep. Chris Carney (D-PA) has now released a statement, obtained by the Post, in which he says …

“I am flattered by the overtures of Sen[ator] McCain and other Republican Party officials and consider their outreach a sure sign that I have worked in a truly bipartisan manner,” said Carney in a statement. “I appreciate the Republican Party’s outreach, but I have no plans to change parties.”
