It will be very good to see MM fade into oblivion – and I have distrusted Kyl for quite some time now. Still, with both of them, I don’t think it’s just laziness or fecklessness. I think they believe it will be just peachy when a Republican is elected – and not THAT bad with Obama.

It is the same greed and desire for indulgences infecting millions of Americans; these goofballs don’t want to deny anybody, because they don’t want to be denied when their turn comes.

Why did Conservatives rally to Scott Brown and help him get elected?

I’m sure he was better than the alternative, but I keep seeing his name on stuff like this.

was my first thought! Let’s see what the Senate can accomplish when they won’t be spending so much time on confirmations by eliminating the positions that require confirmation. . .

who needs an opposition?

I mean really – what does this idiot think he’s doing. I’m sorry Erick, I know we’re supposed to be respectful here, but respectful of what? We need to get these people the heck out of Dodge.

over 1,000 presidential appointees require Senate confirmation. I’m not sure cutting that number back to a smaller number qualifies as an abdication.

Remember, the Dems used the confirmation process on Bush in 2001 in retaliation for the whole Bush v Gore debacle. As a result most of the people at Defense, etc., on 9/11 were Clinton appointees. I’m all for confirming the top couple of guys at cabinet/independent agencies and members of commissions, but I think confirming deputy assistant secretaries goes way too far.

And the rest of these lefties…need to be primaried. I don’t care if he just got in and took Kennedy’s seat. If he’s going to be no better than Kennedy…get him out.

Either get in a real conservative…or just give the d*mn seat back to them. What difference does it make?

…for Scott Brown’s campaign.

Did I get scammed…

Or to put it another way, if everything is a hill to die on, then none are – our representatives will just ignore us because it’s too much noise.

Furthermore, in this case I think the better argument is with those arguing if we’re talking the 200 lowest on the totem pole our of about 1,000 appointments then it actually may be better to reduce the number – especially if it allows better examination of the higher positions.

That is, with limitations of staff resources and time, who is going to be able to vet 1,000 names in a reasonable amount of time. It’s much more likely to have dangerous people slip through the more important positions with the higher number than the lower number.

How about we start holding folks feet of to the fire on the really important issues that may not be quite as sexy – like cutting funding to the NLRB and the EPA and the energy regulatory agencies. I’m glad that we’re seeing holds on some of the Obama appointments as leverage – that’s what we should be encouraging.

And for those who argue that we should be reducing the number of executive appointees – that’s a good target to shoot for as well in the appropriations process, but it’s going to be fragmentary at best unless we win both houses and the Presidency in 2012.

These Republicans are afflicted with this serious disease that sometimes affects conservatives. It comes from an excess of power that leads to a swelling of the head. . .
Rinoapathy!

What is wrong with these Senators? Don’t they understand our US Constitution?

They just ripped another page out of the greatest plan for self-government ever created by man, the US Constitution. WE can’t let these BFG(Big Feudal Gov’t) Ruler-crats ruin OUR nation.

Write them. Call their offices. Stop in to visit them. “Storm the Hill”, July 28-30, 2011, with the FairTax Freedom crowd.

be intent on becoming totally irrelevant, and to hand the ‘community organizer’ dictatorial powers. They are succeeding quite well!

You think the Dem senators would hand this little present to a Republican president who may have 5 1/2 more years in office?

Another example of the GOP = the stupid party.

If you can’t handle your job duties, go find another job!

I AM SHOCKED, SHOCKED I TELL YOU!
This man has to go next time. In fact it will be him or me because this man is enough to turn a Republican into a libertarian.

So many RINO’s, So little time!
And Dick is their leader!!

That this congress and administration is blatantly ignoring the constitution already perhaps it is time to make them uphold their oath of office and impeach them for violation of that oath and their duties.

No one on the list surprised me. This is what you get when you elect RINO’s and Democrats. It is very hard to tell the difference between a RINO and a Democrat. I wish tht people would wake up and stop electing Republicans that really aren’t. A good Friend of mine got mad when i criticized John Boehner. Boehner represents his district. He told me tht Boehner had done a lot of good for them. My response was “What has he done to the country”? We have to stop just thinking locally with this guys anymore. While they maybe good for district they can destroy a country. I will fight against RINO’s wherever i find them. I do not send money to the RNC anymore. They only support who they want to. I send money directly to the candidate that way i am sure where it goes and not to a RINO.

So we have McCain standing up in the Senate and confronting Obama for flipping Congress the bird on Libya by saying “let’s vote to approve what he has done”. Wow.

Now we have Republican Senators confronting Obama for having eluded the confirmation process by saying “let’s vote to approve what he has done.” More wow.

The wild expansion of Presidential authority under this administration is surpassed only by the craven willingness of Congress to go along for the ride.

Every Republican on this list needs to be replaced at the next election. Especially, Richard Lugar, and Mitch McConnell, one more classic example of the need to throw out anyone who has been there for more than 3 terms. Dump them all!
