*** BREAKING NEWS ***
Liberal GOP Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) has indicated that she will vote for the health care bill currently before the Senate Finance Committee.
"When history calls, history calls," Ms. Snowe said in a statement. "I happen to think the consequences of inaction dictate the urgency of Congress to take every opportunity ... to solve the monumental issues of our time. There are many, many miles to go in this legislative journey."
With Snowe’s vote, Congressional Democrats and the Obama Administration will now claim that ObamaCare has “bi-partisan” support. This will probably be used to help break loose moderate Democrats who face tough re-election battles in 2010.

Good job Senator Snow. This is long overdue.
I smell a tea party at her office vote her out the people will be heard !!!
336, JT, Is that you?
Nobody has seen this new one they're working on. It's a secret this time. last time they put it out on the table, they found people READING the damn thing! How do we know it's not the perfect solution this time?
We could use history to speculate, though.
Longtime Rhino. No surprise. Former gang of 8 member.
"Is this bill all that I would want? Far from it," she said. "Is it all that it can be? No."
Leaving that part off of the quotation has a large impact on the way people will look at her statement. It appears to me she is voting to move the bill out of committee more then throwing her support behind just this one bill. By doing this she allows the debate to begin in both the full House of Reps. and the Senate and not just in committee.
What a discusting turn-coat. Get her out of office!
She's toast
I like how you guys all thik you know more about her constituents that she does. Maybe she is representing them, maybe they want healthcare reform. Why the attitude that anyone who disagrees with you is automatically wrong?
Why doesn't she just become a democrat?
"Why the attitude that anyone who disagrees with you is automatically wrong?"
Simple. Because anybody that wants something but wants somebody else to pay for it is automatically wrong.
Get rid of the pig. Kind of reminds me of some of the RINO's on the County Council.
"Simple. Because anybody that wants something but wants somebody else to pay for it is automatically wrong."
-And anyone who thinks people should just get sick and dies if they can't afford health care is automatically a terrible person.
A bullet will change the debate
show me one person that has died because f no health care? it may take them forever to pay those bills but they do get treated. period....if you get sick and you dont go to the dr then its your own fault.....you can go to the dr....you wont die if you go...you will die however when you see the bills....we do need reform but im not so sure that they have the answers.....every time the govt calls themselves helping you ...yu better get ready because of the bul behind it ..it almost isnt worth it...d your home work...there is more ppl(claims) turned down by medicare than my independent coverage....what will happen when the govt takes control? you may die then waiting to get into a dr and they may then deny your claim so agian you will die when you see the bill and again it may take you forever to pay it off.
The time for debate is over it is time to raise guns against the government .
We need to remember who votes for this and vote them OUT next election.
A call to arms
4:03 Snowe's vote was not needed to get this monstrosity out of committee. It could have been done without her vote.

What country are you living in?!!
The insurance company death panels are sentencing people to death every day, by simply saying "that's experimental" or your coverage is maxed out.

You are an idiot. Avocating volient overthrow of the government just because the democratic process did not go your way. I hope the government that you want to attack has their eye on you, and we read of your arrest soon.
Earlier today I emailed the GOP with the following . . .
I just read a headline that said, "Senate Finance Committee approves the $829 billion, 10-year health-care bill sponsored by Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) with the support of a lone Republican, Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe."
Of course that's just in Committee, I suspect other RINOs will ooze out of the cracks once the bill reaches the floor.
How is it that anyone (for instance, Arlen Specter) can just walk in to the Party and claim "Republican" status?
Do you have any requirements to join this club? What if Barney Frank wanted to join? How about Fidel Castro? My guess is that you'd let them in!
Perhaps if you required "Republicans" to actually be Republicans then you'd get a little more respect.
I went to the RNC web site to find your email address, but all it wanted from me was my money -- fat chance. I'm now actively looking for a party that holds to my values, you know, like the party I used to know as the GOP.
I've not changed my values, it looks like the GOP has.
8:46 not only do I advocate it I demand it and will commit it the time for talk is over violence is what you people will listen to violence is what you get!!!
I read where the Democrats crafted a hypothetical bill aimed at Snowe which she signed but she also said she probably wouldn't sign the finished product.
Sounds like 9:18 needs to be interviewed... got his IP address?
6:48 I'll do you one better I'll come to your house and discuss the matter with you how does that sound ?

Please get some mental health counseling. Patriotism is not a synonym for criminally insane. And just what is your weapon of choice?
Deer rifle or fertilizer bomb? Inquiring minds want to know.
Anyone who disagrees with you has a mental health issue ? What a pea brained idiot you are people are fed up with Obama shredding the Constitution and are outraged I completely understand. And left wing socialists like you just roll over for the Mack daddy like cult followers I think you and your twisted ilk need counseling !
No, not everyone who disagrees has a mental health issue, only the ones who disagree and then threaten me and the country with volience. Let the process work, or please use the gun on yourself.
Ever heard of the Boston tea party they were Patriots that had enough which led to a revolution . Your the one who implied a threat with trying get my I P number for an interview I just offered up a meeting and you take that as a threat ? What a punk ! If you don't want someone in your face shut your mouth.
9:43 ever wondered why we have the second amendment ? For citizens to take back their country from a government that has grown to powerful and is trampling on their rights.
I have family putting their lives on the line every day to protect all of America from threats, both from within and from afar. You and those that want to overtake our Democracy by volience will not succede. Regardless if you call yourself Al-Qaeda or NeoCon wingnut.
The attack is from the democrat Socialists party of extremists. And if you did have family in the military which is a lie they should knock some sense into your empty head.
