Senate Overwhelmingly Reject Aid Cuts to Egypt, Pakistan and Libya!

Daily Caller ^ | 9/23/2012 | W. James Antle III

[kozanne]

By a vote of 81 to 10, the Senate on Saturday defeated legislation that would have suspended foreign aid to Pakistan, Egypt and Libya in the wake of the violent anti-American demonstrations in those countries. All 10 supporters of the bill were Republicans.

Use this link to see how YOUR Senator voted. Let them know how you feel about the insanity of giving OUR MONEY to nations who are our sworn enemies!

Sorry, I pretty much have given up on the GOP as a party of any kind of American leadership
Democrats, well they lost it decades ago

Throwing borrowed money into a rat hole that will likely wind up in the hands of west-haters should be an easy thing to vote against. We are SO screwed.

[svxdave]

Our politicians just don’t get it.

[LegendHasIt]

Well, I don’t have to look to know how my two leftist Senators voted.

There MAY be 10 senators worth re-electing.

But just to be on the safe side, throw them all out.

[kozanne]

Some days the best word I can think of when it comes to this kind of insanity is ‘gobsmacked’.

What the blazes is in the water in DC?

[Gaffer]

I know after this election, my two GOP backsliding Senators are dead meat to me. Primary them. Do it hard.

[ColdOne]

It is really hard to watch this on a daily basis.

[Gaffer]

Power is an intoxicating thing. Power of the ‘ruling’ party is GREAT! Power of the losing “loyal opposition” is still great.

These people have been in that rarified environment far, far too long. They all need to be bitch-slapped and sent home.

[MadelineZapeezda]

was anything else attached to this bill???

[SatinDoll]

Read the information at the following link, then go to the blog called ‘Gates of Vienna’. It is all about global conquest by Islam. The communists are involved, but they’ve been subsumed by Saudi Arabia.

The oil embargo failed in the 1970s to achieve altering Western Civilization. But BHO2 has put the US, and its economy, completely at the mercy of the Middle East’s oil nations, and they want submission to Islam.

Does 1979 newspaper column shed light on 2008 campaign story? (Possible Saudi support for Hussein)

Yes, but I haven’t gotten to that part in the reading yet.

You can read the text of the bill at the link. The title says “and for other purposes”, but I don’t see anything unrelated to the main reason.

[annieokie]

It will not load up fully, cuts off at New York, right side of page will not load for some reason.

How did Okla. vote? I think I already know.

[Texas Fossil]

Now a comment.

There were other similar bills introduced. Ishtook for one also had a bill.

I think part of the lack of zeal for this version was that it was introduced by Rand Paul. Should not make a difference, but I think it did.

[Texas Fossil]

No Surprise.

Murkowski is a worthless RINO B
