Track-A-’Crat: The Roll Call of Democratic Delinquency

Just about top of my “Reasons Why Politicians Are Awesome” list is their habit of running for office claiming that they will be accountable to the electorate, only to swiftly decide once in power that they’ll in fact be accountable to no-one but themselves.

That never gets old.

And the prime personification of this – for today, at least – is Sen. Olympia Snowe, hiding in the photo above either from her constituents or from the sunlight that would cause her to burst into flames, you decide.

Having already voted for TARP, the largest legal fraud ever committed, Snowe is now doubling-down by voting for Barry’s state takeover and destruction of America’s thriving health care system.

I’m all for bucking party lines, but in the exact opposite way to this.  If what the nominally conservative party decides to do is not conservative (as it very often hasn’t been in recent years), then please do a reverse-Snowe.  If, however, you decide that pretending to be a conservative was only a ploy to win office and that you’ll henceforth do your best impression of a statist, then please just go the whole hog, à la Arlen Specter.

Of our pathetic choice of parties, one occasionally (and very erratically) pays tribute to some long-held principles, while the other follows nothing but the creed of redistribution.  The only thing worse than either of these is someone like Snowe, who knows a little of each but not enough of either.

Only when these cretins sign up for the same health care plan that they’re trying to impose on us should they sign it.

RINOs Collins, Specter and Snowe should be made to wallpaper their entire homes with pages from biographies of Ronald Reagen and Margaret Thatcher.  Inside and out.  I’m not even going to provide a link to what they gone and done did.
