Spector, Collins, and Snowe receive fitting award

A much deserved award goes to Specter, Collins, and Snowe AND they won it in “a landslide.” So glad to see the turncoats get this kind of deserved recognition. Thanks Club for Growth.

February’s ‘Comrade of the Month’ Is….
Washington – The Club for Growth’s Comrade of the Month Award for February goes to-drum roll please-Senators Arlen Specter (R-PA), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Olympia Snowe (R-ME).
Eighty-six percent of Club for Growth members chose to award the three “moderate” Republican senators the Comrade of the Month Award for their support of President Obama’s $800 billion stimulus bill. While every other Republican member of Congress-and even some Democrats-had the courage to vote against the bill because of its steep price tag and piles of waste, Senators Specter, Collins, and Snowe joined with the Democrats in the Senate to jam the monstrosity down the throats of American taxpayers.
“As future generations of American taxpayers struggle to pay off the country’s mountain of debt, they will have these three Republican Senators to thank,” said Club for Growth Executive Director David Keating. “While Senators Specter, Collins, and Snowe tout the stimulus bill as a compromise, it was more of a capitulation to the Democrats than anything else. Had these three senators voted with the rest of their party, President Obama would have been forced to engage the Republicans in a genuine compromise. Instead, American taxpayers are saddled with an $800 billion bill that will do little to stimulate the economy.”
The Club for Growth’s Comrade of the Month award is awarded at the end every month to the public official or figure who best lives up to the policies of big government and favors restrictions on economic freedom.
