Another Snowe job

What is it about RINOs that make them want to perpetually thwart the Republican Agenda? This from here:
Snowe blocks tax cuts By Jonathan Allen

Finance Committee conservatives capitulated to the will of centrist Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) yesterday by supporting a package of tax cuts that does not include an extension of the 15 percent rate on income from dividends and capital gains. But proponents vowed to fight to ensure those tax cuts will be restored to the package either on the floor of the Senate or in conference negotiations with the House, which was expected to mark up its version of the tax reconciliation legislation last night. “

"This is just the first step in the process,"” Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) said at yesterday’s mark-up. Sen Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) said he supported the revised package “for the sole purpose of getting it to the floor and eventually to conference.”
Will someone please visit this RINO moonbat and present her with a clue? Because she's evidently unable to get one on her own. In an IBD editorial:
Sen. Olympia Snowe may have killed an extension of lower investment tax rates in committee. But the majority leader has pledged to restore them. It's about time these renegade Republicans got rolled. Disney releases its film adaptation of C.S. Lewis' "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" next month. In this beloved tale, four children magically enter Narnia, a peaceful land that would be paradise except for the fact it's been cursed with perpetual snow by the evil White Witch. That's kind of the problem Republicans have had in Congress, especially the Senate. They've enjoyed majority control for a decade, but their repeated attempts to reduce high taxes, big government and burdensome regulations have been cursed by the handful of Olympia Snowes within their own party.
As far as I'm concerned, the RINOs have jumped ship from the Republicans in everything but in the initial next to their name, and in the past 6 years have largely thwarted the will of a majority of the electorate. Right in the middle of a huge economic recovery and low unemployment, this bozo-for-brains wants to starve our economic engine of the very fuel that is sustaining it. The republican leadership needs to once and for all threaten (with willingness to back it up) all RINOs with the stripping of all leadership posts in the Senate should they continue to obstruct the majority agenda. Either that or make them re-take Economics 101.
