Dear Sen. Snowe:
I am not horribly surprised that you finally fell in step with the artificial health-care panic incited by President Obama and the Democrat party. You teased me and all conservatives there a bit, Senator, giving us the illusion of resilience and actual thoughtfulness on the topic. Alas, you once again let down the GOP and a majority of the American people.
In voting yes for ObamaCare, you are voting to kill Medicare and slash health care benefits for senior citizens, and worse. Thanks to your support, Americans are now one step closer to losing our very bodies to a government take-over. When Americans cannot make their own health care decisions with their providers anymore, we might as well be called slaves.
The economic tricks that appear to make this plan revenue-neutral are bogus, of course. And yet, I can't imagine that you have actually read the whole bill in order to determine this. If you have, I'd be keen to hear your take on it. All that America sees, however, is that you are not a "fiscal conservative", as you have claimed. You are a big-spending liberal, period.
I sincerely hope that your constituents will rethink your position as Senator of the Great State of Maine. If I were a Maine resident, I would beg for you to change parties. Heck, I'm NOT a Maine resident and I AM begging you to change parties, just so we can keep the scorecard straight.
Hopefully, the remaining Senate Republicans and thoughtful conservative Democrats will continue to thwart this radical takeover of 1/5 of the nation's economy, not to mention our very lives.
Respectfully,
TMH
