We need to develop a “Rinomoter” to gauge the so-called Republicans and how they vote - to make it easier to spot the real RINOs in the herd!

Brownback wants to be Governor, and is willing to sacrifice principles for personal political gain.

Screw the GOP!

Mark Parkinson a Democrat who jumped parties from the Republican party in 2006 to be Sebelius’ running mate.

I’m not surprised at the Democrats. But look at the Republican traitors going for political expediency.

Even McCain had the decency to vote no on this woman.

Brownback’s not a RINO, just a coward in this case.

I don’t have his voting record in front of me, but it appears that he can usually be trusted to vote conservative.

Since Specter forced the issue, Voinivich, Snow, and the other RINOS should be expelled from the Republican Party. At least we will have a consistent message.

I suppose it’s a matter of courtesy to a fellow politician from Kansas. But he really, really should know better. This will cut his chief source of out-of-state funding right out from under him. Very disappointing.

He THINKS he will be governor, but his opponent in the primaries will rub his nose in this whole mess and most assuredly win.

Oh, and the Sebelius replacement here in KS is a democrat too.

Brownback was placed into a very tight spot, which would have required him to have gonads the size of cannonballs (and made of steel to boot) to navigate with a “NO” vote.

Imagine the great groundswell of “Kansas Pride” that their governor would be selected to be DHHS secretary.

Nevertheless, a true Statesman would have voted his conscience anyway, regardless of the political consequences of his decision.

Everyone of you traitor dogs should take your soiled panties to the Dem side of the aisle. With FrankenFraud installed by judges and #1 Steeler Fan Spector already defected, we no longer need any of you. Go, cross the aisle where you belong. Take McStain with you! Go run in primaries against your own kind. You’ll be easier to beat.

I know Brownback and Roberts are both from Kansas, but good gosh stand on principle not because she is from Kansas.

I have lost all respect for Sam Brownback, a man I used to greatly admire.

I hope the good people of Kansas will make sure that Brownback’s days of public service will be over in 2010.

I’m very thankful that my two senators, Alexander and Corker voted NO.

I agree. Brownback’s whole reputation stands on his being pro-life. As a decent Catholic, I don’t know how he could square it with his conscience to support Sebelius. And as a politician, I don’t know how he can be so stupid about undermining his base.

And it’s not as if it’s just a token vote. Sebelius can do major damage in that position, directing funding away from real health care and toward the Culture of Death. Stem cells, euthanasia, RU-86, the morning after pill for minors without prescription; heavens knows what she’ll use that office for.
