		<description>I had a long screed about your constant whining about us super serious conservatives, but I thought of a more simple and to the point response. 

If us conservatives are so dangerous, that we can defeat RINOs at will, then why do the RINOs vote and fight against us so much? Why don&#039;t the RINOs worry more about losing conservatives then they do about the center left voters? 

And for the record, I voted for Coleman. I may not have done much to help him get elected, but I voted for him and told others not to play around with silly protest votes. And Coleman knew there would be consequences going into the 08 elections, for his votes. You can&#039;t blame us for his loss, in fact you can look n the mirror. It is squishy liberal Republicans who can only about the (R) that have thrown this party into the dumpster and the nation into economic turmoil. 

Principles matter for a reason.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Of course freedom loving Americans would tell them to vote no, but these are 2 very left wing – I believe the term they prefer is ‘Progressive’ – Democrats, &lt;/i&gt;

Whew, it&#039;s a good thing that conservatives were able to defeat Senator Coleman.  Anything is better then a RINO.  Anything!  At least that&#039;s what my conservative friends tried to tell me after the election.

But who knows, maybe we&#039;ll get someone who reads the bill in question.  That ought to count for something.</description>

		<description>It would take an act of God for them to vote no. Angry Al ran on the Obamacare notion. And A-Klo ran on a shadow universal (which she denied, but we all knew meant singlepayer) notion in &#039;06. These are 2 very radically progressive Democrats when it comes to the Government takeover of our health care, they won&#039;t vote no. 

That being said, I didn&#039;t mean to imply that people shouldn&#039;t still voice their opposition and urge a no vote on the bill. I just wanted to highlight how these 2 are going to be incredibly tone deaf to their rank and file constituents, and simply rubberstamps for Obama and the special interests. 

 I think if they refuse to read it or fight against the GOP motion to have the bill actually read by the clerk before debate begins, then it will be extra politically painful.</description>

		<description>It is more important to vote against the bill than it is to read it. But that&#039;s just me.</description>
