But...really? We lost both Senators from Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah? What the hell? Didn't we win all of those by at least 35 points? Okay, Colins, Murkowski, Snowe, and Lugar I get. But…really?

According to DeMint the bill was not available on Friday for Staffs to try to decipher in a day or so. No amendments and no real debate, certainly that's bipartisanship. NOT No time to read the bill, yet these RINOs felt they must vote for it, no idea what is in it, but I must vote for it. If folks want to defend that, then go for it! I'll enjoy watching. This is Reid's debauchery at its finest and the RINOs went right along with it . I know some will be apologists for one Senator or another, but if it quacks like a duck,(voting for the socialist's bill), walks like a duck, and you know the rest. The actions of our senators speak so loud, I don't hear what they are saying. We should consider that every vote.

This seemed like a good candidate, but wow we caved like a house of cards. Specter provided cover for people like the ladies from Maine to block Holder, but now squishies like Hatch are caving. We already know whatever stimulus Obama wants will pass. The GOP had better pick a target and show some unity or this will be the most irrelevant minority presence ever.

Why are we even bothering to show. If we are going to start rolling over on everything, then let's walk out and make them own everything lock, stock and barrel. That would be a better strategy that giving the appearance that you support a piece of total crap. little cover from the NRA and Hatch, and if anyone cares Retired Warner, on holders nomination.
