“Not enough” republican votes suggests that they have some republican votes.

Typical. And the usual last-minute cavers will provide the balance.

Figures McLame would be more worried about bruising Carl Levin’s feelings than the fate of our National Defense (and the entire nation of Israel).

FOR THE THIRD TIME, only two GOPers will vote for Hagel, Johanns and Cochran, Fischer is now on record as being against Hagel.

“Although I do know that the Dems do it so I guess turnabout is fair play. It is not a good precedent. “

My friend, you have just explained why the RINOs are a worthless lot! Turnabout is fair play. This notion that as Republicans “we” must adhere to the Marquis of Queensbury Rules while the RATs do whatever suits moving their agenda, is pure BS. The Republicans NEVER work to consolidate their gains, leaving themselves open to being Effed out of their chairs at the earliest point in time. the RATS have made government a blood sport. Time the Republicans returned the favor. The only way it will ever change is when the RATs are made to realize that they will get what they give, every time.

Are you calling me a RINO? It is hard to have some one like Mark Levin go on the air and say that there is no constitutional requirement for a super majority in the advise and consent role, then using it.

I am not againt playing hardball, but don’t complain about it in the future.

“Are you calling me a RINO?”

NO, read what I wrote! I said you were describing how the GOP operates! They are ball-less wimps who don’t have the intestinal fortitude to give back in spades what the RATs give them. They never make it painful for the RATs when they control anything. So the RATs assume that there will never be any payback for the stuff they pull when they are in the majority. They are like pledges at a fraternity hazing. “Thank you, may I have another!”
