Comments on: The GOP in the US Senate did a good job http://www.redstate.com/firstchevalier/2008/12/12/the-gop-in-the-us-senate-did-a-good-job/ Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:31:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Mark Malcolm http://www.redstate.com/firstchevalier/2008/12/12/the-gop-in-the-us-senate-did-a-good-job/#comment-58 Mark Malcolm Sat, 13 Dec 2008 14:12:18 +0000 http://www.redstate.com/firstchevalier/?p=6#comment-58 (your responses above that is) is that they're political animals who know how the game works. Dole is potential fodder for the great white hunter so she voted yes because she sees no more consequences to her actions. The dems you mention voted yes because they're dems but the ones who voted no and are up for reelection recognize they have to start pandering. It looks like Dole, Warner, and Domenici have already become potential trophies for the great white hunter but I'm not as familiar with their past votes. That leaves the rest wandering the open plains to be observed. Should another culling of the herd be needed I believe the masses may call on the hunter again. (your responses above that is)

Warner, Domenici - all 3 serving last days in Senate. Bond - 2010 Lugar - 2012 Brownback - 2010, presumably not running again in 2010 The Maine Twins - Collins just reelected. Snowe - 2014; but I figure that's how they would vote no matter when they are up for reelection. Voinovich - 2010 Snarlin' Arlen - 2010 I think it's noteworthy, Burr (R-NC) up in 2010 voted Nay, while Dole (R-NC) on her way out voted Yes. Blanch Lincoln (D-AR) up in 2010 voted Nay, but Pryor (D-AR) was just reelected and voted Yes. And finally, Landrieu (D-LA) was just reelected and voted Yes, but Vitter (R-LA) is up in 2010 but voted No. Dole, J. Warner, Domenici – all 3 serving last days in Senate.

Bond – 2010
Lugar – 2012
Brownback – 2010, presumably not running again in 2010

The Maine Twins – Collins just reelected. Snowe – 2014; but I figure that’s how they would vote no matter when they are up for reelection.

Voinovich – 2010

Snarlin’ Arlen – 2010

I think it’s noteworthy, Burr (R-NC) up in 2010 voted Nay, while Dole (R-NC) on her way out voted Yes.

Blanch Lincoln (D-AR) up in 2010 voted Nay, but Pryor (D-AR) was just reelected and voted Yes.

And finally, Landrieu (D-LA) was just reelected and voted Yes, but Vitter (R-LA) is up in 2010 but voted No.

No, she didn't learn. Why should she? She's already been punished. Question for those who know more than I about The Ten, how many of them were voted out this past election and when do the rest come up for reelection (2010?) because of votes like this.

It is hard for me to put my disdain for that man into words. It is hard for me to believe but I am actually looking forward to the day when Obama takes office just so we can be shut of that man and all of the damage he has done to our Party and our Copuntry.
