The “gang of three” — liberal Republican Sens. Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins — who handed President Obama the stimulus bill he so desperately needed, apparently sacrificed billions in tax cuts during final negotiations over the measure in order to reduce its cost.

Though Republicans who crossed party lines apparently got rewarded. The New York Times reported Thursday that Sen. Specter got $6.5 billion for medical research. The Senator is ailing from cancer. Questions is what did the other two SELL OUT for?

All three should be removed from the Republican Party, one for not supporting the Conservative Republican values and second for doing a smoke filled room deal for their benefit, not the American public.
