I appreciate the votes of Senators Susan M. Collins and Olympia J. Snowe of the Vacation land State of Maine in support of Sonia Sotomayor for the position of Associate Justice on the United States Supreme Court,and I respectfully ask that both Senators seriously consider leaving the present day Republican Party.
It should be clear to all who wish to see it,that the Republican Party,the once venerated party of Lincoln has unceremoniously yet convincingly become the bed for arch right-wingers,reactionaries,low information voters and poorly educated,neo-conservatives, Gun Enthusiast's,Pro-Lifers,Southerners,misfits,ne'er-do-wells,extremists and supremacists, and holdover Nazis. There is absolutely no place in the present day Republican Party for decent non-bigoted people like Senators Collins and Snowe who have so much to offer to the American people,and citizens of the great state of Maine.
How can the two great Senators from Maine be in the same pathetic political party with Russ Limbaugh and Sarah Palin ?
The cantankerous demagogue Russ Limbaugh may be interested in being informed that the piece of advice that he heard many years ago is the Serenity Prayer,by theologian and Philosopher Reinhold Niebuhr in 1943,and reads as thus:"God give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed,courage to change the things which should be changed,and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other." To this I might add and he might be reminded of a quote from Robert Frost: "Half of the world has something to say and can't say it; the other half has nothing to say and keeps on saying it."
The roles with greatest potency in world politics are those heads of states and corporations and foreign policymakers who make peace and war and economic decisions that affect the lives of millions of people. Wheter or not potential power is turned into actual power depends upon the combination of perceived situational opportunity,personal decision making and self determination. These are the crucial components of the political man and woman. Power is a social relationship between people in which some have more of their needs satisfied than others.
After all is said,I would submit that our best gain and our best advantage lies in working together in a cooperative spirit rather than in a climate of acrimony and personal enmity. Senators Collins and Snowe must understand that we have common friends and common enemies. We must be considerate to the one and proselytise the other and if possible convert the "The other misguided Republicans".

The power brokers in the Republican party basically dupe and trick the Joe&Suzie Sixpack types with the false culture issues such as abortion,prayer in schools,guns,Gay marriages&Civil Unions in order that they vote against their economic interest. The movers and shakers in the Republican Party the Waltons,Hiltons,Ralstons,Hillman's Mellon's,and the other ruling famalies don't give a tinker's damn about Abortion,Guns Rights,Prayer in public schools,Gay Marriages or Civil Unions;they are only concerned with having their interest served,and that's the job of people like the Republican&Democratic front men and women in the Senate and House.
These Joe&Suzie Sixpacks have nothing remotley in common with the ruling elite except their race white;as a matter of fact the ruling elites in this country keep the Joe&Suzie Sixpack as far way from them as possible and that's why we have the very rigid class structure in this country,which is a carry-over from the classism of Europe.
Elsie Hillman,a wealthy power broker in the Republican Party once told me that those cultural issues"Those arent my particular issues".
The poor Joe&Suzie Sixpacks are so concerned about holding on to their little white privilege they can't see forest for the trees.
These Joe&Suzie's Sixpack types are manipulated by the power brokers in both major political parties by making them feel this is their country and everyone that dosen't look like them doesn't belong such as Blacks,Hispanics,Native American,Asians,Arabs,and sometimes Jews.. That's why you low lifes& poorly eduacted people saying "I want My Country Back ".
It is in the interest of the ruling elites to have this on-going class warfare between Blacks&Whites,Blacks&Hispanics,etc..Thus this is why the Power brokers in both major parties pormote this incessant class warfare.
Correction: This is why the power brokers in both major political parties promote this incessant class warfare between the Joe&Suzie Sixpacks and all people of color.
I wonder how my Native Americans ancestors felt when those trashy women in Delaware and Arkansas said"I Want My Country Back" ?
