George Bush: Bailouts, ignored immigration problem with protecting our borders, Prescription Drug Program,
$100's of millions to Africa while America suffers.
 Collins, Snowe, and Specter: Collins, Snowe and Specter had a chance to send a message to Obama that he had to deal with
the Republican Party to avert a filibuster. They could have made it clear that genuine bipartisan cooperation was necessary
to pass legislation. These three senators, pledged to cut taxes and oppose massive growth in federal spending, could have
demanded a 2-to-1 ratio for tax cuts over spending, rather than the reverse, as Obama is succeeding in getting. Instead, the
three wimped out and caved in for peanuts from Obama. Now the actions of three people who told their voters that
they were Republicans have eliminated any hope that the GOP has for influence on this Stimulus Package. By making
their own deals with the Obama administration and settling for cosmetic improvements in the so-called stimulus package, Sens.
Collins, Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) and Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) have sold out their party, their state and their supporters.
