President Obama secured another major legislative victory Wednesday with the Senate ratification of a nuclear arms treaty with Russia.
Vice President Biden presided over the Senate's 71-26 vote with Secretary Hillary Clinton in attendance.

That can’t be true....FReepers have been telling me for 22 months that if we just call, fax, write, rally, etc., we will prevail.
Left is getting as much of their legislation passed as they can before the New Congress convenes in 2011.
Hopefully, their last hurrah.
Was there ever any doubt? and that POS has just got a second term with the full help of the rinos.
Amazing how much damage these weasels can do in a short amount of time. I’m all for starting a movement to make it illegal for them to be in session from the moment voting starts until the new Congress takes office. What would that take? Would it have to be a Constitutional Amendment? Make the whole Lame Duck thing illegal, because they answer to no one.
The “public servants” don’t pay much attention to Americans anymore. They’ve ALL got their own agenda and America is their target.
Makes me scared to think what Obama will do once he's a lame duck!
The bribes to the 13 must have been significant.
Here are the sippiest (R)s in the US Senate.
The 11 Republican senators who voted in favor of moving ahead with the treaty Tuesday were Richard G. Lugar (Ind.), Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Robert F. Bennett (Utah), Scott Brown (Mass.), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Maine), Bob Corker (Tenn.), Johnny Isakson (Ga.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Olympia J. Snowe (Maine) and George V. Voinovich (Ohio).
All also voted in favor of ratification Wednesday, as did Gregg. In addition, Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) voted for the treaty, pushing the total yes votes to 71.
These people have no regard for American Safety and are typical “go-along-to get-along” republicans and should be voted out of office as soon as possible.
I’m so disgusted with the Republican Senate I can’t hardly stand it any longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still in denial? He will continue his agenda...using any means available.
This AH is too STUPID to be in a position of any kind of power.
Every RINO that voted for this and DADT repeal must be fired in 2012
Maybe we’ll just have to wait around for it to be “wikileaked.”
Can any of this be undone, I wonder?
This is why Mookowskis “big win” in Alaska is so important. The public servants found out that they don’t have to listen to Americans and can still be reelected.
I wonder if these idiots know that Russia just started deploying the TOPOL-M SS-19 Road Mobile Missile System with MIRVed capability? No wonder Russia signed. They got their latest hardware out just in time.
Please provide a link so that I may share it.
Ping.
The Russians got what they waanted, they won’t rnogitiate te treaty.

I really don’t know.
Some poor gal in Isackson’s office might move to Russia after the chat we just had.
I can hardly stand her face.
LOL
They should be shown the door with a swift boot to help them along the way.
By an amazing coincidence, the 71-26 vote in the Senate is almost exactly the same percentage as the Parliament’s vote in support of Chamberlain’s Munich Agreement (369-150).
Just for the general FYI, here’s a couple of links:

Really, what’s the point though? So I call in and blow this poor lady’s eardrums out. What does he care? She’s just some scum he hired to keep me away from him as far as he’s concerned.

“Some poor gal in Isacksons office might move to Russia after the chat we just had.”
You got through? Yesterday no one was answering the phones and his mailbox was “full”.
From the way I understand it, mobile systems and nuclear sites not declared are not subject to the phony “inspections”. We the Poeple lost this one bigtime. Barry sold the ranch to try to boost his image as some kind of a “peacemaker” instead of the Marxist dictator that he is.
I did. They don’t care.
“Left is getting as much of their legislation passed as they can before the New Congress convenes in 2011.
Hopefully, their last hurrah.”
New Congress convening will mean nothing.
Thank you for posting that!
I know, you gotta vent, but really, it’s an exercise in time wasting.
And none of it, or at least most of it, would NOT have passed without the traitorous republican rino moderates!
These 11 traitors need to lose their next primary.

First time in US history that a lame duck congress has passed a treaty.
I would say it is not just the British Parliament that the Rooskies have infiltrated with staffers!! We need to have a nice little investigation of the staffs of eleven particular Republicans, I believe!!!
Here is a demonstration of the need to purge the demsymps.

No, the POS has just enraged the populace even more. Also the RINOs.
Incredible. I am not sure if the new congress has the votes to un-ratify this treay if there is even such a thing
If you add McCain and (Nancy) Graham you have the 15 liberial republicans that DeMint said there are in the senate.
Both KBH and John Cornyn have RINO tendencies to varying degrees. On other hand, they'd likely be considered strong Conservatives in Yankee-land.
However in this vote, I am proud of our two Texas senators taking a principled stand for Peace and Freedom.
In my book, "peace" isn't the absence of conflict. Instead, it's a strong and mighty America that defeats the forces of evil. And yes, I may be old school, but I still don't trust Russia one iota.
God Bless America and God Bless Texas!
Look, folks, The Pubbies cut a deal to get the Bush tax cuts to remain in place. Now, you can rant and rave all you want, but neither “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” repeal and the “Start” treaty mean zilch. First, no one except the gays cares a hoot about the repeal. Plus, it is a long way off before it goes into effect. As for “Start” the Ruskies worked Obama over, which makes them look good to America haters, where the real nuclear threat lies like in North Korea and Iran. Don’t you get it? These outlaw countries have Mr. “Weakness” Obama wired. As for our left-wing media praising Obama’s every move, don’t believe everything you read!!! At the end of the day, as my British friends say, this lame duck session of congress does nothing for Obama in the long run. He is about to be twisted like he never dreamed he could be, thanks to sixty-two new Pubbies coming on board in the House. Remember, it is not only Obama that needs to go. The entire Democrat Party needs to be destroyed politically from top to bottom. November, 2010 was just the beginning salvo!!!
The RINO trade off... tax cut extention and you can have your extended unemployment checks, START and DADT. Anything else you want 0 dear? Amnesty? Net Restrictions? Radio Restrictions? Speech Restrictions? Food Restrictions? Okay, we’ll work on that.
What exactly did we win in November and does it really matter?
All I can say is we had better see some damn good leadership in 2011 or else.
This is starting to look like another N.K.
The socialist commies set restrictions and laws for everyone then proceed to pick and choose the ones who will have to follow them.
The pat- downs, the scans...everyone has to abide by them except the people who we really need to watch. I’m sick of these so-called leaders.
