See? I told you so!

Back in December I believe, I wrote that the Republican Party could shore up its conservative credentials by becoming more regional. I even said something to the effect that we didn't need Yankee liberals or "moderates" from the Northeast, that they were a drag on our brand.

Well, lo and behold, if I haven't been proven right. The unholy trinity of Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins gave Obama his "stimulus" package. Every other GOP senator held firm, but thanks to these three miscreants, the United States has now officially become a banana republic, with trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see.

Thanks, ladies.

What can be done? How about seriously considering kicking them out of the Republican conference? Even if we lose them to the Democrats we're better off being more ideologically consistent than having to kiss their butts because we're scared they're going to screw us (and then they wind up doing it anyway).
