It's unfortunate, but not shocking, that every single Democrat in the United States Senate (with the exception of two abstentions) voted to give Muslim Brotherhood-controlled Egypt brand-spanking new F-16 fighter planes and M-1 tanks. What is shocking is that 26 Republicans voted with the Democrats and squashed the Rand Paul Amendment that would have prohibited the "the sale, lease, transfer, retransfer, or delivery of F-16 aircraft, M1 tanks, or certain other defense articles or services to the Government of Egypt." And if you want to know the names of the 26... just have a look...
Do any of these Republican Senators serve in your state: Alexander (R-TN), Ayotte (R-NH), Barrasso (R-WY), Blunt (R-MO), Burr (R-NC), Chambliss (R-GA), Coburn (R-OK), Cochran (R-MS), Collins (R-ME), Corker (R-TN), Enzi (R-WY), Flake (R-AZ), Graham (R-SC), Hatch (R-UT), Hoeven (R-ND), Inhofe (R-OK), Isakson (R-GA), Johanns (R-NE), Johnson (R-WI), Kirk (R-IL), McCain (R-AZ), McConnell (R-KY), Murkowski (R-AK), Portman (R-OH), Toomey (R-PA), Wicker (R-MS)
See the link I posted. No accusation. Showed my work.
The "accusation" is a fact and has NO bearing on the topic.
Freaking retard
I love you too, Mindy.
how come you never do that when posts are from your buddies at CNN and MSNBC?
Do WHAT? Accuse them of promoting their own crap here?
They do that? Point it out, I'll be all over it.
Tom Coburn??? It really is over, isn’t it.
Care to comment on the content rather that ridicule the source?
Nah, you never do, you're not capable.
Take your disruption some where else.
and has NO bearing on the topic.
Duh, that's the point!
You fail to comprehend that you are being roped into an advertising scheme designed to present topics you agree with.
Mark Kirk has always been a Dim wearing a Republican cape.
The Lockheed Martin lobby is a strong one.
Coburn (R-OK), Corker (R-TN), Toomey (R-PA)
You disappoint me...
They are all Chuck Hagel.
Learn to add to a conversation, not disrupt it....hell, even you might learn something in the long run.
Any opinion on the content of the op?
Of couse not....
The 17th Amendment insures Democrat control of the Senate for years to come...
I applaud Mark Kirk’s recovery from his stroke; it took a lot of hard work, determination and guts to do that. So, we know Mark Kirk has some intestinal fortitude. Would he applied that strength to preserving the Constitution and saving the country. Unfortunately, he chooses not to. But, he’s from Illinois, and the people of the state know Kirk is a Dim in Repub clothing; had he had an opponent that was just a shade less tainted than Giannoulias he would have lost his senate bid. Hell, JFK could run in Illinois today and he wouldn’t stand a chance of winning, as he would be considered a right-wing extremist.
True. However I suspect it was because of Lockheed Martin.
Miss Senator ping
Apparently you are unable to grasp that you are being manipulated by a sympathetic topic.
If I faked up a blog and re-wrote (or manufactured) a story
with which you agreed - just to get some hits - would you support me?
The part that says no state shall be involuntarily deprived of its representation in the senate ought to be enough to simply remove a senator who has a stroke, brain surgery, heart attack, or severe gout.
The headline is dubious. Was this a gift, or a sale, of this equipment? It matters. I’d be against either, but it does matter.
Chambliss and Isakson truly must be idiots, uh... low information congresscritters. They either never read, or Jabba the Rove is their hero.
Good thing Chambliss is not running again. Isakson should follow his example; if he doesn’t, I can imagine those he claims to represent will show him the door.
You didn't answer the content of the op.
Is it false?
IIRC, it was buckhead, a fellow FReeper who has a blog and busted Dan Rather.
I guess your only sources are MSNBC and others that can be posted here, you NEVE scrutinize those sources, do you?
Buzz off troll.
popcorn self-ping
Answer the question.
If I faked up some unsubstantiated crap, would you pay me some hits?
