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!!!

Grassley voted against. Having called at least once a week on this, called to thank him for his wise vote today.

Here is a demonstration of the need to purge the demsymps.

No, the POS has just enraged the populace even more. Also the RINOs.

FYI, the nay votes...
Hutchison (R-TX)
Cornyn (R-TX)

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.

Bush pulled us out of the ABM treaty, remember?
I assume there is a similar out clause if a future president wants to end it.

Real change in the GOP will come from removing “leaders” with spines of Jell-O. McConnell needs to be replaced with someone who can actually maintain some discipline.

Just this week, Grassfire Nation delivered more than 78,000 petitions and letters to each of the five FCC commissioners opposing any move to regulate the Internet.

Amazingly more than half of the total number of petitions came over the last 48 hours leading to the delivery -- a testament to the incredible viral powers of our team!

Now we are calling on you again...

This time we need to quickly build a coalition of at least 100,000 citizens as we direct our attention to Congress -- demanding they use their power to reverse what amounts to another statist grab by the Obama administration!

Right and WTH good does it do? The commies have taken over. They could care less how many petitions there are. Constitution...laws, ethics...they don't let those stop them. Do we have anyone that can out-maneuver these scubwads?

This is extremely disappointing.

As a general rule, I am very proud of our two senators from Tennessee--both Republicans--but this was surely not their finest hour. To put it mildly.

Both Sens. Alexander and Corker voted for START.

Whether they did this because they genuinely believed that it is a good thing, or simply in the name of pragmatism (i.e. a desire not to "weaken" President Obama by handing him a major foreign-policy defeat), I do not know.

Either way, this one stings. A lot.

The Russians' reading of the preamble suggests that we may be dissuaded, in the future, from pursuing a serious missile-defense system, lest we should irritate the Russians, and thereby provoke them into withdrawing from the treaty.

The question remains, what did the Russians have on the usurper in chief that made this so important to him. So important they warned him and said DON’T YOU DARE CHANGE A SINGLE THING IT!

The only thing was the vote was not 80-20 or 90-10. The only thing that the politicans do would be to do something good and decent.

But, in the end, I can’t blame them. Each one of them were put in office by a majority of votes. In the end, what one sows, one also reaps.
