Here are the thirteen Republicans who gratuitously gave Obama his biggest foreign policy victory of his presidency. They pointlessly voted to entrust Putin and Obama with our missile defense, and capitulated to a tyrant during a time when American is exuding weakness throughout the world. All they had to do was hold out for two days and the session would have been over. Not only did they support this repudiation of American exceptionalism, they did so in a lame duck session, thus empowering those whom the voters rejected, while disenfranchising those new Senators who were elected. The resolution of ratification passed with 71 votes, but 9 of those supporters no longer belong in congress.
Sens. Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Bob Bennett (Utah), Scott Brown (Mass.), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Maine), Bob Corker (Tenn.), Judd Gregg (N.H.), Johnny Isakson (Georgia), Mike Johanns (Nebraska), Richard Lugar (Indiana), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Olympia Snowe (Maine), and George Voinovich (Ohio).
The amazing thing is that they are from such conservative states as Alaska, Georgia, Indiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Tennessee, and Utah! Imagine if the Democrats had as many traitors among their ranks as we do. Imagine if Democrat Senators from Vermont and Massachusetts would vote for staunch conservative legislation. Unfortunately, they don’t have any sellouts.
Bennett, Gregg, and Voinovich are retiring, but felt the need to flip one last birdie at the American people. Isakson took the resounding conservative support he just received in his reelection and pocketed it. But Brown, Corker, Lugar, and Snowe are up this cycle. Corker and Lugar must be toast at all costs. Collins, Cochran, Johanns, and Alexander are up in 2014 and every one of them must be defeated. This is not the first infraction of any of those on this list, and many of them were part of the lame duck massacre that has served to undermine the mandate of the midterm elections. Hey, when Lindsey Graham thinks that the Senate Republicans have wimped out, we really have a problem.
Which of these Quislings are up in 2012?
The old 60s hippies, the union thugs and the sexual deviants are in charge now. A real freakshow.
Each of these super RINOs will play the same song during their campaign-—”you’d better support me or you might get stuck with a democrat!!” Uh huh. And we would be able to tell the difference.....HOW??
Brown, Corker, Lugar, and Snowe are up this cycle (2012).
BUMP! I’m keeping the list and will use it to let those RINOs know how we feel about them.
Any Dems that can be picked-off in 2012?
Bennett’s just showing his true colors, now that he’s been ousted. He’s got nothing to lose. Hey, Bennett, THIS is why we voted you out of office. Slimy b@stard.
Once again, these RINOs are proving the fact that bipartisanship means that *we* give in to *them*. They are sorely lacking ANY conservative principles.
That alexander is a slippery worm. He needs to go fast.
Whoever thought America would be destroyed by a lame duck?
Is there anyone in Tennessee that might take a crack at Corker and Alexander?
I just keep getting sicker and sicker in my stomach every day because I have no control over how, what and why my country is. The elected are throwing my life away, laughing and making money off me at me at the same time. When will the madness end, at the end of my miserable life I suppose.
You have a real talent for headline writing!
I have been told my whole life about how brilliant the guy is and I think he is just a wannabe Rat, or a Rat mole, who gets praise from the Left and the lamestreams because he always votes to the left.
Dull witted, self-important, all that.
Rhodes Scholar.
Ha! Rhodes Scholars are smart the way Nobel Peace Prize winners are smart: They are just doctrinaire commies, praised and credentialled by the Left.
Just a game.
Corker and Alexander voted for it because Oak Ridge, Tennessee facilities will be getting more nuclear decommissioning work.
It’s all about the dollars.
You are correct about and it is going to get a hellofalot worse before it gets any better.
There are 23 Dems up in 2012, and we have at least a shot at more than a dozen of them.
