[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	She'll probably go the way of Evan Bayh.

	There has been nothing moderate about her voting record over the past couple of years. She moved to the far right and kept in lock step with her party. Yes, she still talked the moderate game, but she sure as hell didn't vote it. I suspect she simply got sick of voting time after time for crap she knew was crap....but couldn't find a way not to support because her parties leaders forced her to support it. Good riddance. -----signature----- (none)

	The dialog has been pulled so far to the right, she could no longer survive within her party. If she were a new candidate deciding to run today, is there any doubt she would now have to be a dem? Her views have been fairly consistent if you listen to her speak. It isn't her that's changed. -----signature----- http://www.fairvote.org/reforms/

	At least now she can vote the way she feels like and doesn't have to worry about being pressured by her party to do what they want instead of what she wants. Snowe isn't a RINO, she is an almost perfect example of a Reagan Republican (which is a shitty thing to be, but no where near as shitty as being an evangelical/Koch Republican). She didn't leave the belief and convictions of the Republican party behind her, the Republican party went batshit insane and became the party that hates freedom, hates women, hates gays, hates sex, hates the 21st and 20th century, hates the USA.....and worships whatever the far right extremists that bankroll it tell them to worship. -----signature----- (none)
