Yesterday the Senate had the “wind fall taxes” on oil companies bill before them. In a 51-43 vote, the Republicans were able to kill this ignorant, patronizing and pandering bill.
Unfortunately, 6 Republicans voted in favor of the bill, they were:
- Grassley, IA
- Collins, ME
- Snowe, ME
- Smith, OR
- Warner, VA
- Coleman, MN
And it’s that last vote that makes me say I’m done.
Coleman is a RINO in every bad connotation of that word. He was a Democrat for years and became a Republican only because it was expedient for him to do so to further his political career.
Coleman believes in global warming, he believes in cap and trade, he won’t drill in ANWR, he has a lifetime Conservative voting record of 68.
I don’t like his position on many issues but I could give him some cover under the “we’ll agree to disagree” argument. However, when a simple issue like artificially taxing a business because you don’t like them, comes up and he doesn’t have the courage of his convictions to vote NO, than I will show him how it’s done.
I will not vote for Coleman in November. Neither will I vote for Franken.
I wonder if the Libertarians have a candidate for Senate?

Don’t be surprised if Jesse Ventura is on the ballot.
I won\’t be surprised but he also would not get my vote…fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!
Ventura is just as liberal as Amy Klobuchar and is much more ill tempered….and that\’s saying something!
