Not only have these five Republican Senators joined with Democrat environmentalists to scuttle all attempts for citizens of the U.S.A. to begin to achieve some semblance of energy independence, but they may have robbed John McCain of the hottest issue to emerge in this presidential campaign...

Talk about friendly fire.

How in h*** do we keep re-electing these eunuchs? Graham in particular, he has got to be the wimpiest Senator I have ever seen.

The issue hasn’t been robbed. The Gang of 10 isn’t going to get anything. I’d kick Lindsey Graham off my bus if I were John McCain. He had to know this was stupid and man is he stuck on it. Some of the guys I really don’t understand. Thune and Chambliss especially. They really need to get back on the Drill Here Drill now wagon. It is time we give them a call while they are on vacation.

Maybe because they want to keep the issue alive.

If a compromise like that were to occur, it would definitely take the air out of ‘drill here drill now’ balloon.

Just bringing up the possibility.....not sure if that is the case.

However, as far as political capital goes, that one issue is the ONLY one that seems to be giving GOP *any* traction.

Everyone please keep in mind that John McCain voted against drilling before he was for it. That is, when he was actually voting.

Gramnesty, taking up the slack while the maverick is otherwise occupied. It was cool when Bush was the recipient, not so cool when McAMNSETY gets it.

I am becoming convinced, Republicans don't get it — At all.

These five turncoats are not Americans. They have driven a nail in America’s coffin with this garbage. They are a disgrace!

Cork Soaking Ice Holes.

With friends like Republicans, who the heck needs enemies?

I am more convinced every day that the Republicans haven’t had a clue since Reagan, don’t have a clue now and never will have a clue.

Somebody like Rush was calling these five Republicans “the Obama Republicans.”

This should be their title from now on. Not only have they sold out, they have sold out on the one issue that could bring conservative victory this fall and solve major problems for the American people.

Bob Corker, Johnny Isakson, Saxby Chambliss, Lindsay Graham and John Thune:

The Obama Republicans.

Rush had one of these RINOs on his show last week and listening to him reminded me of the part George C. Scott played in “The Flim Flam Man”. He talked in circles and broad generalities and never said anything of substance all the while practicing mental slight of hand.
