You missed that other blizzard witch in Maine - Collins.
Sorry, I missed that RINO. No surprise.
Collins, Brown, Snowe, Voinovich — thanks for nothing, RINOs.
And what is this sh*t about 16 not voting???? Where the hell were they?????????
I noticed VA’s esteemed senior Senaturd Jim “Born Fighting” Webb is among those not voting. Show your hand, Webb.. chickensh*t.
16 not voting? Jeesh! And DeMint is one of them? That doesn’t seem like his usual style at all.
” We have that in TX with both KBH and Cornyn. “
I can beat that - we have Binghaman and Udall — both ‘empty suit’ Dem hacks...
I think we have a chance to bury Binghaman in ‘12, though... ;)
Judging by DeMint’s not voting and the time of the vote. It may be that the Dems placed a stealth vote after some Pubbies left for recess. Not sure.
Of course it makes no difference, the Dems “lame duck” Congress still has the votes to do whatever they want until the 112th Congress is sworn in.
The point is, we must not be caught asleep before January.
I pray you are right about him. I despise the cretin. Many years ago he beat a friend of mine when he won his first senate race. He is a vile hard left corrupt slime. I could write you a book about he and Ann (his wife). And about his uncle John who was the local Dem King Maker who got him elected. That is NM politics.
” I pray you are right about him. “
Me too - but it depends on a lot of things going ‘right’, since we have to overcome the entrenched Dem machine that’s ‘owned’ this state forever...
At the very least, our new Republican Governor has to do a bang-up job, and then we need to recruit a viable candidate from our heavily-Republican (my precinct went 60% R on the 2nd) downstate area....
The good news is that the Crystal-gazing, tree-hugging, ORGANIC-GARDENING crowd that dominates the North end of the State, are really up-in-arms about this Food Bill....
So, we have a chance.... ;)
Toll-Free number to the Congressional Switchboard
(866) 338-1015
Tennessee’s Lamar Alexander (RINO) is a Co-sponsor, Bob Corker (R) also joined in the YES voting. I’ve called several times.
Glad to see Corker’s name on the NO list...where is Alexander’s he is a co-sponsor...must be one of the 16 not listed. Corker is up for re-election in 2012.
Why are they not voting? This is not sitting well! The blood is still fresh in the waters beware GOP!
If this passes I will have to become a Broccoli Bootlegger!
Yes, Alexander was a "Not Voting", See my post # 9 & 15
We must always remember that the RINO's must go.
Freepmail me to be added / removed from S510 list. And please ping me to relevant threads.
Republican Ayes:
Brown (R-MA)
Collins (R-ME)
Snowe (R-ME)
Voinovich (R-OH)
Thank you Senators for deputizing the Food Police and driving even more independent farmers out of business so big corporate agribusiness can come in, collude with one another to jack up prices to new and loftier highs. Look for Archer Daniels Midland stock to jump Monday and well as John Deere, Monsanto and the other usual suspects. This is truly becoming a Vaseline country.

Not voting does not mean they support this bill. It could be the timing, and if all repubs voted, they are out numbered by the democrats for right now.....I talked to Jim Demints staff
and he is against the bill, and said he was not going to vote on the bill......probably for a reason....maybe something else is up
