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.

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

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.

We all need to call and write the RNSC and the Republican leader in the US Senate and these SOB cowards and terrorist supporters and make it known that they will NOT be reelected next time nor will be give any money to the anti-American cowards and SOBs. If this is true they are the scum of the earth and should be recalled immediately to live in their adopted country of Iran.

Did Lott actually name them? I'm working on e-mailing all of them right now.

Take Sen Warner off that list. I just heard his speech where he is in full support of this plan. Also it was good to here SC Lindsey Graham say he supports the plan even though it might not be popular. He basically said he doesn't worry about his political future as this is an important issue for America.
