After looking at the voting record of the Republicans in the Senate, I came to a conclusion there is a pattern for some Senators. A pattern of consistently voting with the Democrats. A possible exception is concerning the Budget. Some Senators out of a nature of responsibility appear to have held their nose and accepted the short extension. I feel that was a mistake because the Dems simply used it to sandbag.

What do you think?

Thanks for the chart, I was mad as hell, now I'm madder than hell.
The bastards have no fear of conservatives.
I'm definitely going to bookmark this thread and I think all Freepers should so that we do not forget.

I believe Cornyn and Hutchison voted NO on START.

I wouldn’t pee on Brown, Snowe and Collins if they were on fire.

Whack-a-mole. The anti-American Soros sponsored GOP Senate geldings are trying to hide behind each other’s skirts. The tea party bell tolls for them. 100% dead wood.

I think you have just published the list of Senators who MUST face a primary challenger in their next election.

Hey at least Mark Kirk only voted for 3 out of 4 pieces of crap. Of course I already knew he’d vote the wrong way about 60% of the time vs. his opponent who would vote the wrong way 100% of the time.

This is the RINO Roll Call...

You are correct about Hutchinson, she did vote NO on Start.

There is a column alignment problem in her data that I did not see before I posted it. She voted YEA on the Budget extension. There may be others with that issue. Guess I should have proofed a bit more.

There were several Senators who voted only for the Budget Extension, who otherwise consistently voted against the Dem legislation.

I think I found the problem with Hutchinson. It had to do with how I highlighted the background on the cells. I did not color them one cell at a time, but adjacent cells in blocks. That messed the alignment up on at least the Hutchinson cells.

I noticed a blank line that should not have been there.

I created the HTML from Gnumeric spreadsheet, it normally does a very good job of creating HTML from spreadsheet data. This was operator error.

Yes he did, it was a column alignment issue because I put the blank columns before the date entries. Cleaned it up again and reposted.

Sorry for the confusion.

This took a while to compose form Senate.gov. Some of the entries were tricky because the “tricky” dems renamed the bills. That is always messy.

Good for you for cleaning up the first chart, the START vote was bad enough without lumping nine innocent pubs in with the actual pub traitors.

The chart isn’t right. Alexander voted YES on START. And about 13 voted YES on final passage of START.

Murkowski, Snowe, Colins, Voinovich, and Brown.

Alexander also vote YES on S.510 and START. He also voted NO on 7 of 9 amendments to improve START.

PLUS, they have confirmed at least FIVE liberal judges. And Alexander was in there nearly every time to give his support to Obastard.

See my repost on #12. I had a column alignment problem with the data because of the way I handled the dates.

There can be issues in posting votes where there are multiple votes on a single bill before passage. Have had that problem before. The initial passage in the House is not always the final passage of the bill. Some change their votes from first pass to final (and intermediate). The Dems are notorious for renameing an unrelated bill, that makes it very difficult to identify what they have done or how they voted.

If there are errors I am sorry, it was the best I could do. The main point is the obvious Republican Senators who stand out as Traitors.

I never thought I’d see a Republican Alaskan senator with a voting record that is so liberal. Is Murkowski crazy? Seriously, do any Alaskans have an insight on this?
