List of GOP Senators NOT supporting POTUS, preferring to stand with the democrats

It is reported that Senator Lott has a list of 10 names of GOP senators who have elected to stand with the democrats, instead of supporting our own WAR TIME, GOP POTUS.

---

The list thus far:

Brownback;

Coleman;

Lugar?;

Snow;

Collins;

Hagel;

and likely

Voinovich;

Smith;

Two have not yet been named (outed).

---

.

A few quotes:

• “I do not believe that sending more troops to Iraq is the answer. Iraq requires a political rather than a military solution.” – Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan.
• “If Iraq is going to fulfill its role as a sovereign and democratic state, it must start acting like one. It is for this reason that I oppose the proposal for a troop surge.” – Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn.
• “This is a dangerously wrongheaded strategy that will drive America deeper into an unwinnable swamp at a great cost,” said Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb.,
• Several Republican senators are candidates for backing the resolution against a troop increase. Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, Gordon Smith of Oregon and Norm Coleman of Minnesota said they oppose sending more soldiers.

  Republican Sens. George Voinovich of Ohio and John Warner of Virginia also might be persuaded. Warner said he supports the Iraq Study Group recommendations, which strongly cautioned against an increase in troops unless advocated by military commanders.

Suggest we e-mail the White House in support of President Bush''s announced plans for the War in Iraq and also e-mail or call the TEN renegade senators. Dare I call them turncoats or cowards?

[Concho]

Just address it to Brokeback Sam.

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

Warner? He just used his last chance with me. Now I'm pissed.

Thanks for the list.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Call them Murthas.

[McGavin999]

I agree, Senator Brokeback it is.

[RushCrush]

Thanks for the list. Disgusting bloated pigs.

Pray for our military.

[Aussie Dasher]

I can't believe Brownback. Is that true????

[skippermd]

This brings new menaing to "kicking ass and TAKING NAMES" for me...

[Spunky]

bump!

[McGavin999]

Dare I call them turncoats or cowards?

I don't know, but come 2008 I'm going to call the unemployed.

[Howie66]

RATS*!!!

"Republicans Against Total Success"

Toss these ANTI-AMERICA A$$holes OUT of office!!!!

[onyx]

Please add the other two names if you know them.

[muawiyah]

Warner's staff ~ he, himself, is nearly totally calcified and cannot be considered to be aware anymore.

[cgk]

Thank you, onyx. I missed most of the discussion on this on the live thread, so - where does Lott stand? Is he one of the 10 or does he have the list for other reasons? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

[albie]

Warner? He just used his last chance with me. Now I'm pissed.


...Warner is positioning himself against Mark Warner in '08. Of course, JW has been leaning left for quite sometime.

[pgkdan]

I don't believe that list...esp Senator Brownback.

[jennyjenny]

Warner? I just caught a little of him on LKL and thought he supported this. But, I wasn't able to watch it all so maybe I missed something.

[Spunky]

ping!

[Rummyfan]

Me too - Warner has become a senile old coot! Time to boot his a** out of the Senate.

[PilloryHillary]

No big surprises here...thanks for posting this.

[cgk]

Sad, isn't it?

[nitzy]

Voinovich was either sleeping or sobbing so loudly he didn't hear the returns this past November. Ohioans don't like RINOs. Some people never learn.

[msnimje]

The only two who surprise me are Brokeback and Coleman. I expect nothing else of the others including Warner. He has gone very wobbly lately.

[msnimje]

I don't believe that list...esp Senator Brownback.

It's true, search Brownback on Free Republic for more.

[RunningWolf]

To H with them

The Senate has to be the most over-estimated, pompous, exaggerated self-aggrandized group of individuals I have ever seen.

[awelliott]

Thanks for the info. I'm pushing 50 and have avidly followed or been involved in politics for 25 years, and I can't remember a time that I've been angrier. This is an outrage!!!!!

[ilovew]

Those are the two that surprise me as well. I thought those two understood the importance of this.

[OldFriend]

Here's the toll free number for the US Capitol......you know what to do......

1-800-862-5530

[popdonnelly]

Already e-mailed the White House. The turncoat Republicans are scared to death, and probably won't change the votes. The hell with the cowards!

[mystery-ak]

We need to find out the other two.

[Torie]

What do Arlen Specter and Dick Lugar think? I forgot the former governor of Iowa is running for president. He is a mental defective. Sad really.

[cgk]

I don't believe that list...esp Senator Brownback.

Brownback opposes Iraq plan, Roberts offers cautious support

The article contains several of Brownback's comments, mostly against the President's plan. (preemptive strike from a Presidential wannabe).

[ohioWfan]

ARRRGGHHHHHH!!!! VOINOVICH!!!

He's going to hear from us LOUD AND CLEAR!!

Support our troops you wimp!!

[rjmarce1]

9.) Arlen Specter ta(R)d Pa.

Brownback can close down his Presidential campaign. Can you imagine this coward as Commander in Chief?

[Howlin]

Write to these ten senators and tell them to support the President in Iraq.

And write your OWN representative and tell them you appreciate their support for the president.

They disappointed us for the last six years; it is TIME for us to get our pound of flesh.

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

I was wondering what Oliver North was going to say and I just heard him on FOX with a supporting tone.

[Ironfocus]

Sad. After 4 years of continuous badgering the mainstream media and the Hollywood left has finally swung pulic opinion, and these senators would rather do what is popular instead of what is right.

[Howlin]

LOL........I love the "outed" part!

[jwalsh07]

<>IHe is a mental defective

Maliki has bigger stones than Vilsack, and a much higher IQ to boot. I'm trying hard to remain monosyllabic tonight.

[OldFriend]

I am glad that Lott named names!

While many dislike the man, I think he got a raw deal when he had to step down as Majority Leader.

[NinoFan]

Thanks for posting this.

[Fudd Fan]

Oh how nice, Snowe & Collins, the pigeon sisters. Twits.

[Howlin]

RATS*!!!

I love it!!!

[mystery-ak]

YES, Ollie is standing with the CinC...

[onyx]

Do you have anything else handy besides this on Brownback?

I am bizzeee on the FReepathon thread, doncha know? :0)

Hugh Hewitt just mentioned that Sen. Brownback is also against sending more troops
