Michelle: We must spurn “turncoat” Republicans like Collins and Specter
posted at 3:10 pm on February 12, 2009 by Allahpundit
Count her in, I guess, for kicking them out of the caucus. As I’m writing this, Bob Casey’s blathering about something or other on MSNBC and I’m reminded that the guy whom he replaced in the Senate was no squish. Neither was the guy whom Jim Webb replaced, nor the guy whom Claire McCaskill replaced, nor the guy whom Jeanne Shaheen replaced. If we’re purging centrists while purple-state voters are purging right-wingers, who’s left?
She’s 100 percent right about Maxine Waters’s incoherence, though, which you already knew. Somebody let Olbermann in on the secret, okay?

I loathe them all too, but I’ll loathe who replaces them even more I’m sure.
I mean, I loathed Gebhardt and now that we have Pelosi, I yearn for the days of Gebhardt. Pelosi has to be one of the dimmest people to ever darken the halls of Congress, Democrats just get worse and worse.

I agree with Michelle. Time to hit the reset button.

So you find out a family member is stealing heirlooms at the yearly thanksgiving dinner party. So you keep inviting that person back every year because it’s thanksgiving, and the only time you ever have the whole family there.
Yet you continue to express dismay that family heirlooms continue to disappear.
I understand completely.
Skandia Recluse on February 12, 2009 at 3:18 PM
Kick all officeholders out except for Ron Paul and a few others, and reboot the party. Somebody’s gotta follow the Constitution, right?
The Dean on February 12, 2009 at 3:21 PM
The centrists left haven’t done much good. The goal is to stop purple-states from purging right-wingers — not to move the caucus leftward.

It’s not the Party to which they are turncoats.
baldilocks on February 12, 2009 at 3:24 PM
Yah, sure would be a shame to lose these three clods because their replacements would obviously be far-left jackalopes…or not considering they keep getting reelected.
Bishop on February 12, 2009 at 3:25 PM
Our own squishy party members spurn those right-wingers because they are too right wing. They are the same ones who castigate Rush and Coulture.

That’s the guy that crossed granite staters by voting for TARP and allowed Shaheen to say (lie) that she was against bailouts going into the election.
lesson: stick to principles
Frogmorton on February 12, 2009 at 3:26 PM
Besides, those three “centrists” just decided to sell America for a pat on the head from Reid and a few shiny trinkets from Ogabe. There is nothing to lose from purging them now and everything to gain.
Bishop on February 12, 2009 at 3:27 PM
A la The Joker in Dark Knight, break a pool cue in half, throw it in front of Arlen, Olympia, and Susan, and tell them that there’s only one position available in the organization!

Christien on February 12, 2009 at 3:27 PM
Look if the Republican Party can only regain a majority using “centrists” i.e democratic pawns, what exactly is the point? Seriously, Allah, lets have some real party distinctions. Let the American people take a look at two stark options and then make a choice. These weak panderers who vote Democratic to ensure re election in the North East make me sick, its all about re-election for these morons. If conservatism is represented by actual conservatives and still loses, then the American people deserve the Country they get, but lets give them an actual choice. We have had 8 years of “Moderate” big spending Republican rule and look where its gotten us? Liberals right now are overreaching and it will backfire, but lets not muddy the waters by allowing these moderates to set the agenda because when people have the choice between liberal and liberal light, liberal wins. Its time to pick a side and fight for it, “Republican” power is meaningless if we have to act like Democrats to get it.
nswider on February 12, 2009 at 3:27 PM
Purge em. Since Specter, Collins and Snowe all demostrated their willingness to help bust the ability for Republicans to fillbuster, what do we have to lose anymore?
Viva La Revolution!
hawkdriver on February 12, 2009 at 3:28 PM
You know who else thought the “turncoat” thing was cute? Ned Lamont. He even made an ad with his coat turned inside out.
Maybe before we grab our pitchforks, we can consider how much we sound like the nutroots and Joey Lieberman. We can disagree with them, we don’t need to bite our nose to spite our face.
MayBee on February 12, 2009 at 3:28 PM
The choice if false. It’s not the choice between GOP and Democrat that should concern us, it’s the choice between the GOP candidates.
If Pat Toomey best fits the platform of the GOP, then he should be the candidate. If he loses, at least we ran the candidate who would uphold the party’s goals.
With guys like Specter, all we get is a sheep in elephant’s clothing. At best, he’s an undependable ally. At worst, he lets the Dems that “the few wise, moderate Republicans support this bill” and further marginalize the majority of our party.
hawksruleva on February 12, 2009 at 3:29 PM
In fact, all they are doing is giving Obama bi-partisan cover. If they are kicked out, and if they are true moderates, then they become a thorn in the side of the Dems. Its great to be them now cause they have so many people kissing their rear ends.
genso on February 12, 2009 at 3:30 PM
Kick all officeholders out except for Ron Paul and a few others, and reboot the party. Somebody’s gotta follow the Constitution, right?
The Dean on February 12, 2009 at 3:21 PM
If the constitution was being followed (even somewhat) we wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place. The federal government is controlling so many things that are supposed to be reserved for the states that the list is endless.

And if The Boss is for purging centrists, Allah better dust off that resume. Maybe he can team up with Hitchens over at Slate…
BadgerHawk on February 12, 2009 at 3:32 PM
I don’t care about having some moderate Republicans or even left leaning Republicans in terms of social issues in the party, but there is no point in having a statist portion of the GOP. Advocacy of the free-market is the main pillar that holds the different factions of the Republican party together. If you’re not going to stand up for that, get out.
V15J on February 12, 2009 at 3:35 PM
New York Slimes is looking for a “conservative” liberal columnist?
The Dean on February 12, 2009 at 3:35 PM
Here is the proof they are clueless. Were not the current Senate leadership part of the “Bush administration”? Didn’t Chris and Barney act in their own interest with Sally and Freddie instead of the country while in the “Bush administration” era? Didn’t they contribute to this whole “economic mess” under SanFranNan’s oversight while part of the “Bush administration”? So who are the criminals? Idiots.
BoSox_or_Bust on February 12, 2009 at 3:36 PM
The country has already made a substantive shift to the right since the 70s. Now its lurching swiftly back to the left. AP et al. are advocating a multi-decade prevent defense strategy. Michelle et al. are advocating a “best defense is a good offense” strategy.
Who’s right?
Who is John Galt?

Steele’s job is party unity and he has the purse strings to make it stick.

Jeanne Shaheen!! How to ruin ones day. I spend a lot of time trying to forget she exists. She was quoted this AM as saying that she thought the Bill was excellent. I had just recovered when she turns up again. I suspect a good GOP candidate could beat her. She only rode in on the the hate Bush,love Obama horse. She is a smiling puppet whose husband tells her what to think and how to vote.
jeanie on February 12, 2009 at 3:39 PM
The Malkin Theorem is 100% correct. A Congressman’s propensity to grandstand and bash CEO’s in inversely proportional to his experience in running any kind of a business… or in ever having held a real job. It’s a disgusting sight to see these arrogant n’er-do-wells lecture CEO’s how to run their businesses when they themselves can barely find their way to the men’s room.
petefrt on February 12, 2009 at 3:39 PM
Having the fed meddle in things reserved to the states is bad enough. But having them meddle in an endless list of things reserved to the people is even worse.
MarkTheGreat on February 12, 2009 at 3:39 PM
Michelle is from PENNSYLVANIA… (hint hint)
The Dean on February 12, 2009 at 3:41 PM
What good does it do us to keep them in the party when they abandon us at every critical opportunity?
Jim Webb? Come on, he replaced a guy who ran the worst Senate campaign ever.
t.ferg on February 12, 2009 at 3:42 PM
It’s hard to stay on message if you let anyone stay.
Spurn them.
They’re just there to give the false impression of “bipartisanship”.
the_nile on February 12, 2009 at 3:42 PM
Hello from Maine. We would love to get rid of them so we say. but we are a nanny state. for the last 30 yrs the Dems have not lived up to their promises yet this drunken high head in the clouds state still elects the same morons. The people here are outraged. But they vote the same stupid back every time. the second highest taxed state only by.1% in the US. For all its short comings The people here are great and the land is beautiful.
tengger on February 12, 2009 at 3:42 PM
As for Collins, she has been bought,at a goodprice I’ll admit. This 2 billion will be dropped into the bottomless maw of Maine’s problems and disappear as quickly as TARP one did with the banks.
jeanie on February 12, 2009 at 3:42 PM
Satisfying but pointless. It would be like offing the Pope and the Cardinals. You’d just get another set exactly like the first in a month’s time.
You have to change the culture; change the ideas by which candidates are chosen and the ideas they follow once in office.
Much harder, but it’s the only way.
JDPerren on February 12, 2009 at 3:44 PM
Run then out of the party on a rail now today!!!!
thmcbb on February 12, 2009 at 3:48 PM
I gotta put this up with Michelle’s McCain-derangement during the primaries as probably one of two times I have vehemently disagreed with her.
We don’t need to, nor should we, be “purging” anyone. I mean, dang…if we can’t convince fellow Republicans of the worthiness of the conservative cause, how are we going to convince anyone else?
Big Tent, people….we need it.

Speakup on February 12, 2009 at 3:50 PM
Collins, Snowe and Specter need to be removed from the caucus, even if it causes one or more of them to lose re-election. They undermine our political philosophy, dilute our brand, and obfuscate our debate with the Left. Then, at the most critical of times, they allow themselves to be used against us.
Less damaging is a reliable enemy than a back-stabbing ally.
petefrt on February 12, 2009 at 3:50 PM
Isn’t the Long Goodbye better than brooming them swiftly? Give them plenty of time to appreciate the extent of the damage they’ve done. Serve this dish cold, Steele.
Christien on February 12, 2009 at 3:52 PM
Boot them out. What’s the point of having liberals with an R by their name?
It’s not impossible to get a conservative elected even if it sometimes seems that way. Reagan’s landslide victories were not flukes. Squishy neutered Republicans aren’t any more popular than true conservatives. If they were, Bush, and to a lesser extent his father, would not be so reviled.
Grayson on February 12, 2009 at 3:53 PM
The people that will be left will be people with whom we actually agree, who are not actively destroying this country along with the Democrats; there is no reason to have Republicans that will collude in the destruction of our economy and freedom. When you do that, you get the UK.
The flaw in your logic, AP, is you assume that the country will remain purple; but look at what happened after Carter’s disastrous term. Obama’s policies will bring similar pain here and humiliation abroad, and if voters’ brains haven’t been totally rotted by the media, they will turn back to sensible policies. Since the Turncoat-3 are colluding in the passing of the policies that are going to bring about such misery, they have no place in our party, as they will not be to whom the voters will turn when this all ends in tears (and perhaps, blood).
blue13326 on February 12, 2009 at 3:55 PM
How about Boot all of them out.
Senate and Congress. What are they doing for any of us… or America in General?
upinak on February 12, 2009 at 3:57 PM
How can they be “middle” and vote for this liberal mish-mash porkfest. All that the left has wanted since Reagan is in this pos legislation.
Laddy on February 12, 2009 at 3:58 PM
That analogy is more perfect than perfect. Well done.
We all know what the prevent defense does – it prevents you from winning.

Rogue on February 12, 2009 at 4:02 PM
So are the Democrats kicking out any Democrats that voted against this? Are those Democrats thinking of becoming Republicans?
We need every Republican we can get. This purging of any one that does not agree with everything is the recipe for further failure. When has it ever worked?
And what did other Republican Senators do to convince these to vote the party line? Probably little or nothing.
albill on February 12, 2009 at 4:02 PM
Hint for all you “big tent” people:
If they vote with Dems for socialism, then they are not Republicans.

If you can’t vote conservative than run as a democrat.
GET OUT.

kthomas8268 on February 12, 2009 at 4:08 PM
Who said anything about purging voters? Specter, Snowe, and Collins failed what should have been an easy litmus test. YOU make the assumption that the “centrists” (which is just a euphamism for social liberal) are fully onboard with the Democrats on this issue. These three are unreliable at best and probably more accurately described as frustrated Democrats. Let them go. They will be more happier and so will the real members of the GOP.
highhopes on February 12, 2009 at 4:11 PM

Building coalitions with others to ensure survival, if not supremacy, is necessary. Having formed coalitions with people/groups who you later find threaten your survival is another thing.
JiangxiDad on February 12, 2009 at 4:13 PM
Churches excommunicate. The Democrat Party excommunicated Lieberman. There is political precedence to evict from affiliation. Spurn RINOs Specter and his Maine female companions. Why would they be allowed to apply for re-election on the Republican ticket?
maverick muse on February 12, 2009 at 4:13 PM
Michelle needs to chill. It is what it is.
Does she really think that a strict conservative type would have any kind of shot in deep blue Maine or even purple Penn? Please.
While the Maine duo has angered me too during this vote, I’ll take them voting with us 50% (70% for Spector) of the time. A Dem from Maine would vote against us 80% of the time. How’s that sound?
You need to pick your battles.
Graham and McCain (from red states) are one thing. They can be replaced by conservatives. But in blue (Maine) and purple (Penn) states, count your blessings.
Even the KOK kooks know that they’re better off with a blue dog pain in the ass like Shuler (TN) than a conservative republican.
Pragmatism.
kevinkristy on February 12, 2009 at 4:15 PM
For the time being they may stay. But if the slightest glimmer of suitable replacements appears then out they go. They should be treated as they treat their fellow GOPers that is we make no promises.
jeanie on February 12, 2009 at 4:16 PM
I’d like to remind Michelle that the Dems took back Congress by accepting candidates and Members who weren’t 100% liberal in more conservative areas, rather than through spurning. (And before someone inevitably brings up Liebs, I’ll just note that they never *really* lost him, did they?)

OT: Hannity on radio is saying Judd Greg has withdrawn from nomination for post at Commerce
kayo on February 12, 2009 at 4:19 PM
I dislike this red herring ideas that get floated.
We all got behind Lieberman for one reason, because he was doing to the Democrats what our OWN candidates have done to us for as long as any of us can remember. It was FUN watching the Democrats have to deal with what we have to deal with all the time for a change. We got behind Lieberman because his usefulness on ONE TOPIC was more important to us than dealing with our own problems within the GOP. Lieberman is no Blue Dog Democrat by any stretch of the imagination. He was Gore’s running mate before this ‘transformation’ for Pete’s sake.
Think about it, really think about it. Why do you think Republican grassroot voters make such a big deal about getting a conservative in the Presidency so he can appoint the next SCOTUS nominee? Because time and time again, our OWN Presidents have nominated squish judges who have been turncoats to conservative ideas and giving us such things as Campaign Finance Reform, et al. The very things that ultimately end up shooting conservatives and their views in the back.
Now why do we continue to do the same things over and over and over again and let the squish Republican RINOs dictate to us that we have no other choice if we want to win? Why does it matter if we’ll end up with the very things we’ve been fighting against. I should just give up and go sit on the sidelines for all that would matter.
I WON’T APOLOGIZE FOR WANTING TOTAL FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPALS, IDEAS, PROGRAMS, BILLS, AND AGENDAS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN OUR GOVERNMENT. And if you were truly conservative you wouldn’t be embarrassed to say the same and feel like you need to explain, justify, and excuse your beliefs. To be ashamed of the GOP leads to ultimate failure and defeat. Why should anyone believe in you when you don’t even believe in yourselves?
Sultry Beauty on February 12, 2009 at 4:19 PM

starfleet_dude on February 12, 2009 at 4:19 PM
The fact is Conservatism wins when its run (in a campaign) in this country. Our losses
are caused by voters choosing the real Democrats over the Republicans who are trying hard to be Democrats. When Republicans grow a spine, and run as Conservatives (1994), we will regain all the seats lost by the ‘moderates.’
monotonousboy on February 12, 2009 at 4:19 PM
Damn right. They’re betraying our nation.
We’re soon going to be divided into two camps: those who believe in the Constitution and are willing to defend it, and those who are not. Then the real battle begins. As Mr. Lincoln reminded us many years ago, a house divided against itself cannot stand. There can only be one winner in this fight.
AZCoyote on February 12, 2009 at 4:21 PM
I don’t think we really know what happened/will happen to those Dems who voted against this Bill. But, if asked to guess, I’d say it is not pretty.

Purple state voters huh? Missouri is red as heck in 2 areas of the state, St. Louis and Kansas City with maybe jefferson City/Columbia thrown in because of all the democrat state workers and stupid college students. Unforunately, that’s where the majority of the population is.
McCaskill lied, lied and lied again and she won like all democrats win, more money, more lies and Talent being a gentleman. Dork! Also, the black population voted this time.
Vince on February 12, 2009 at 4:30 PM
Maybe Collins and Specter were planted by the Democratic Party to run Republican so they can claim bipartisanship?
It wouldn’t surprise me! HAR!

Boot ‘em. Repubicans that vote like Democrats do us no good whatsoever. Let them go be Democrats. You big tent Repubicans…ever notice there are no big tent democrats? Ever notice Democrats that reach across the aisle like Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman get savaged? Why should we always compromise our principles? When was the last time the Democrats compromised on theirs? If we lose as true conservatives, then we lose. We keep teaching and we try to bring the cycle back around; and the country will suffer under the lefts control. It happens. But if we abandon our principles, we have nothing. We don’t win, we don’t lose, because we have no stand other than go along to get along; it’s like changing jerseys in the middle of a game. I don’t want to be on the losing team, so I’m going to change my colors. What the hell good are you? I mean, do you teach your children that spineless cr*p? Ok honey, if you ever find yourself losing an arguement, start agreeing with the person you’re losing to, so you don’t have to be a loser. Yeah, I’d be proud of that kid. Grow a pair, people, or find a new hobby.

In what manner do any of these three have a claim to the platform of the GOP?
HR 1 is completely at odds with the GOP platform on taxes, on government waste, on the permissable scope of federal government power, on entitlement reform, on the budget process, and on and on.
As others have noted, it is understandable for party members to have disagreements regarding some social issues. However, if one disagrees to this extent about the balance of government vs. private control of the economy, one has no business remaining in the Republican party. HR 1 is a repudiation of most of the core of the GOP platform.
I emailed them all promising to send financial support to any people running against them should they vote for cloture, primary or main. I intend to keep that promise, becuase better to have an enemy I can trust to be stand against me than an ally I cannot trust to stand with me.
Kick them to the curb.
Troll Feeder on February 12, 2009 at 5:01 PM
While that “other Team’s” Michelle is not.
the_nile on February 12, 2009 at 5:08 PM
That is the problem, not the solution. Michelle has said before she supports a bigger tent and find areas where we can agree. Her example was abortion; even if you are pro-choice fiscal conservative, we can agree that we don’t want to fund abortions in foreign countries. We agree for different reasons, but the result is the same.
N.O.W. doesn’t actively pursue serial rapists as members, the NRA doesn’t go to Cindy Sheehan’s house to sell memberships, and the NAACP doesn’t recruit at KKK rallies. If someone is fundamentally opposed to your most basic principles, it is hard to work together on anything.
These three useful idiots are traitors to our country and our beliefs. They should not be allowed to call themselves Republican, conservative, or even American.
Laura in Maryland on February 12, 2009 at 5:14 PM
And this, my friends, is why Allahpundit needs to be booted off Hot Air. I’d be happy to replace him.
The GOP has a chance upcoming in the next election to pick up at least 40 seats, maybe more if Obama keeps melting down like reactor 2 of Three Mile Island. I don’t want people like Allahworshipper dragging us down.
Michelle should draw up his walking papers. And quick.

The reason Obama was elected is because McCain became very Unmavericky and picked a wingnut as his runningmate and started cottoning up to the Far Right extremists who have usurped the GOP – Independents, Libertarian, reasonable Republicans and the general populace of the United States of America – a Moderate Country (remeber we are spending blood and treasure fighting Far Right Extremists abroad) was motified and either didn’t vote or voted for Obama.
But your type will continue to deny the facts until the GOP is decimated, which will happen in 2010, the approval rating of the Republican Party is in the crapper, because most Far Right Extremists like you – are out of touch with reasonable Americans and the general populace – like me.
No one likes obstructionists who choose to grandstand, spit venon and fire while getting nothing done.

Go buy a vowel. Having congress do “nothing” will fix the problem. The recession is the answer to the past fake economy IT’S NOT THE PROBLEM! Libs simply do not understand free markets nor economics.
