South Carolina Republican and conservative firebrand Sen. Jim DeMint introduced legislation to repeal Obamacare on Wednesday, the first official step in bringing the House-passed repeal bill fight into the staid upper chamber.
But a slew of mostly moderate senators declined to support DeMint’s legislation, raising questions on the unity of the Republican caucus.
Backing him are 34 Republicans including Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, and Republican Whip Sen. John Kyl of Arizona.
Conspicuously absent from the list of cosponsors are Republican Sens. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Scott Brown of Massachusetts, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, Susan Collins of Maine, Michael Enzi of Wyoming, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, John Hoeven of North Dakota, Mark Kirk of Illinois, Richard Lugar of Indiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Jeff Sessions of Alabama and Olympia Snowe of Maine.

Didn't this jerk run on NOBAMACARE?
They ain’t been paid off yet. Grassly needs more Ethonal “subsidies”.
*** TAKE NAMES !!! ***
This is when we see who is the wheat and who is the chaff.
Brown has been a huge disappointment. I just shake my head.
How is Scott Brown not on this list?
Call everyone of those senators everyday!!! Starting NOW
The congressman says he was injured by the sandwich on April 17, 2008.
Sorry, wrong thread!
John Stewart called it right when he was elected he said “He’s a Massachusetts Republican, that is like a gay Democrat anywhere else”
I just got off the phone with Scott Brown’s office. He IS a co-sponsor. I suggested that his office get out that fact. I am willing to kick RINO butt, however we need to make sure we have correct information.
He’s a disappointment because he lied. I always wondered why he never showed his wife until the end. That alone should have been a red flag showing he wasn’t completely honest with the voters. There should have been no reason that she did not campaign with him. I know it doesn’t seem like it; but that very act was a big slap down to his voters.
Either get rid of him next time or recall him. He is not needed.
Did they decline to be co-sponsors or did they indicate that they would vote against the legislation?
Soon to be unemployed senators IMHO.
This wasn’t going to pass the Senate anyway. Good thing is, the RINOs are revealing themselves, and now we all know who to “primary” next election cycle.
That’s a very important claification, one I will forward to the Daily Caller.
“....he suffered permanent injuries from biting an olive pit hidden in the sandwich wrap he bought at a House of Representatives cafeteria.”
.
Identify the RINOs and harvest them from the herd.
I guess that Scott Brown should get the RINO Weasel Of The Year Award.
please note the post above indicating that Brown is indeed a co-sponsor.
This thread illustrates perfectly the tactics of the Soros-funded propaganda machine, and the "change-the-subject" attempt to obscure the obvious :
"The Dance with the Stars" crowd, the beer-swilling sports fanatics, disconnected from reality, the zombies connected to their ipods, and they all vote, miss the substance of the problem; they all claim, what's the point? If the House passes the repeal of Obamacare, the Senate will block it; and should it pass the Senate, Barack Hussein will Veto it.
That is precisely the objective. To identify the RINOs who escaped the wholesale rejection of the Socialist "Progressive" agenda, the promoters of both parties, in order to deal with them in due course.
These people have no clue about the significance of Barrack Hussein planning TO RAISE A BILLION DOLLARS TO GET RE-ELECTED! THAT'S $1,000,000,000!
If money alone determines who wins the next presidential election, and the rest of us just sit and complain, we are done for as a special culture, a free country where the excellence of the individual rules.
Of course, we, the rest of us, can raise TWO Billion Dollars and give the Soros crowd a run for their money.
