Sebelius confirmation Roll Call vote

US Senate Clerk ^ | 04/28/2009 | US Senate Clerk

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.

[GOPsterinMA]

Thank you both!

[joesjane]

Thank God I read your post! For a minute I thought Senator Vitter voted for her and I figured he was coming down with the flu or something. Thanks, I am relieved.

[Frank Sheed]

I get mail from Brownback all the time due to my Pro Life stand. It now goes directly into the paper shredder.

[AliVeritas]

... and the usual suspects: Specter, Snowe, Collins, Voinovich, Lugar and Gregg

Sessions was a no vote, does that mean he was there?

[Non-Sequitur]

Is the new governor of KS a Republican?

Former Republican. He pulled a Specter about 6 years ago.

[Cicero]

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.

[utahagen]

You're right. I don't get why Brownback caved on this.

[armymarinemom]

Snowe is not seeking another term. People remember Collin’s votes years from now. She needs to go.

[GOPsterinMA]

Sounds like a disease - maybe the aptly named “swine flu”.

How about labeling the party switchers as cretins stricken with “Rino Flu”?

[Bean Counter]

Never waste a perfectly good Public Health Crisis...

[buccaneer81]

Remember this RAT!

He's already announced his retirement at the end of the term (2010.)

[egfowler3]

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.

[Non-Sequitur]

How about labeling the party switchers as cretins stricken with “Rino Flu”?

Or how about swine flew?

[GOPsterinMA]

Good one!

[Twinkie]

Thanks to Corker and Alexander (Republicans from Tennessee for voting NAY)!

[bt_dooftlook]

RINO virus...

[iowamark]

Sessions missed both roll call votes today. I don’t know why.

[HotLead61]

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.
