Because the obvious truth is - Communists have infiltrated every corner of this country - all the way to the White House (and obviously, the Senate chambers).

Alexander to Support Sotomayor for Supreme Court By Jessica Brady Roll Call Staff July 30, 2009, 10:37 a.m.
Senate Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander (Tenn.) announced Thursday that he will join five of his GOP colleagues in supporting Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court.
Lamar has been in DC too long. He needs to be replaced by a true conservative. In fact the same applies to Corker. Neither are worth much.
Another Benedict Arnold.
Anyone voting for this racist, poorly vetted wide Latina should be shut off from any support from the party they are SUPPOSED to be representing.
Long overdue.
La Raza Lamar
Voting for this Hispano-Racist...totally despicable
Besides Lindsey Graham-nesty and Lamar, who are others besides Snowe and Collins, presuming these two raging liberals will be reliable votes as usual.
I used to like this guy... What a shame he’s a sheep now.. following the RINO path like so many others.
Lamar, where’s your principles? How bout your brain?
Traitors. Anyone, regardless of party, who supports this racist and seriously flawed appointee needs to be out of office post-haste. She easily represents the most radical, and least appropriate candidate for the SCOTUS we have seen in any of our lifetimes, maybe in history.
Who are these "Republican" senators trying to appease? What back-room deal was cut to get their vote? Who has dirt on them? Or are they just plain liberals that don't belong in the party in the first place?
NOT ONE MORE PENNEY FOR THE GOP. NOT ONE...
I live in TN and will call his Jackson and DC offices as soon as I leave work. This is unacceptable.
Because the obvious truth is - Communists have infiltrated every corner of this country - all the way to the White House (and obviously, the Senate chambers).
Lamar! is a Howard Baker protege. No surprise here.
Lamar should just quote Obama when Barry was saying how Roberts was totally qualified for the SCOTUS, but he still voted against him on political/ideological grounds.
Stop playing so NICE or we’re all doomed!
When you call Lemar’s offices,, you might
want to ask them how many Mexicans are
newly working in Tenn, how many have
registered, etc.......
I live in TN too. Gees this is infuriating! Lamar is such
a go along to get along RINO. I’ve heard that Susan Lynn
might be running for the Senate I think. She would be a good one to replace him. God knows we deserve better!
Another RINO bought and paid for by Pelosi and the Demrat Party. And these are the people some so-called conserevative Pubbies think will provide the ticket to conservative ascendency. Total lunacy.
LMAO..... However, I will allow myself to be killed because of Lamar's betrayal....
Lugar is one, from Indiana. Another RINO that needs to be put out to pasture.
Donate to individual candidates and not to the Party, but 5 out of 40 voting for this woman is not a lot to take out the GOP in total. Half the Dems voted for Roberts. Our Minority Leader is voting against her along with 34 other Republicans which is a pretty good percentage since truthfully he could have put up someone much, much worse and we could not stop them.
This nomination is replacing Souter who always voted against Conservatives but she also is not a leader. Think she will drive Kennedy to vote with the Conservatives almost all the time now. He has gone more conservative the longer he has been on the Court.
So how exactly does he get replaced by a conservative in the RINO-led GOP—an arm of the Demrat Party?
These vermin need to be flushed. In their case we might have to pull the flusher twice, material like them has a tendency to stick to the sides of the bowl.
I think we just reelected him too so he shouldn’t be up until 2014.
Party? What happened to "the people" they represent?
Nothing personal but this allegiance to "Political Party" will be the death of the Republic, as fore told by our first President upon his leaving office many years ago.
“should be shut off from any support from the party they are SUPPOSED to be representing.”
The point of my post; shut off funds from the party that is helping fund them. You make a good point, but one that has nothing to do with mine.
I did not support him.
Take Nashville proper and Memphis out and TN is a great state.
it could be worse...they could be replacing conservatives
Lamar is a disgrace! I have to put up with 5 more years of this crap until his seat is up again! It baffles me how he could vote for this woman. What the hell? She was going to be confirmed WITHOUT REPUBLICAN VOTES anyway. Why is he voting to confirm?
That's the point. They are one vote away from creating a super legislature that doesn't depend on Blue Dogs. Obama may be able to appoint three justices in his first term. One would think that the brain dead GOP would fight for EACH SEAT?????
they don’t have the votes April
thes votes are just symbolic
i have no idea why Lamar and Graham are doing this...are they getting something for it?
or are they just stupid
It is time to dissolve the federal government and return to strong state governance. Let the liberals have their states and then let the conservatives have theirs. We cannot live together and a civil war only hurts everyone.
It didn't work, so give it up and lets get on with building our lives the way we see fit. In separate jurisdictions.
Vote these guys out fast! And this is the jackass who once sought the Reoublican nomination for President. God help us all!
Why an I typing all of this? If the GOP hasn't figured it out by now, they, in fact, are brain dead... READ BORK....
So they should stand on principle and just vote no. Whores all.....
The voters need to get off their fat lazy butts, get informed and vote. See wasn’t that easy?! No political party should be running this country, we should. They’re only the ones that represent our interests and we tell them what we want done. In fact all too many voters are paralyzed by defeat (of the mind) or are happy for the govt to steal from their neighbor. If we want govt to change we need to look to ourselves first. If they’re corrupt then we were corrupt first.
Laura Ingraham took Lindsey to the woodshed this morning. He didn’t know what hit him. It was very enjoyable.
Of course he will...
Was there any doubt thgis liberal is in the wrong party ???
His side kick, Corker, plans to vote against Soto...
I got an EMail last night...
Corker is “disappointed” he wont be voting for her...
Typical CINO/RINO junk...

Corker Announces His Intentions on the Sotomayor Nomination
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bob Corker, R-Tenn., made the following statement today regarding the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Judge Sotomayor has an impressive background and an inspiring American story. I enjoyed meeting with her in June and let her know I would reserve judgment on her nomination until the conclusion of a fair and thorough hearings process,” said Corker. “After much deliberation and careful review, I have determined that Judge Sotomayor’s record and many of her past statements reflect a view of the Supreme Court that is different from my own. I view the Supreme Court as a body charged with impartially deciding what the law means as it is applied to a specific case. I believe Judge Sotomayor views the Supreme Court as more of a policy-making body where laws are shaped based on the personal views of the justices. Unfortunately, nothing I heard during Judge Sotomayor’s confirmation hearings or in my meeting with her in June sufficiently allayed this concern. For this reason, I’m disappointed to say, I will not be able to support Judge Sotomayor’s nomination.”
There is a fatal lack of spines in the Republican ranks.
Well done for Corker for at least voting the right way.
It almost sounds like these guys were *hoping* they could roll over a play dead, and got disappointed that so many Americans wouldnt let them!
The word “Republican” now means nothing.
Just one more treacherous bastard carrying the coffin of America to the graveyard.
From a perfectly technical point of view you are right. However, life if rarely perfect.
As I see it, the political process may be too far corrupted to ever set it right without revolution. Our country was born of revolution and may need to be reborn of revolution.
Some 47% of voters did not vote for The Marxist Onada. So that is a start. But history teaches us only about 21% of the colonial population actively participated in the War for Independence. Even with the issues as clear was they were then, the majority simply sat it out. I suspect a similarly large percent of the American population will do likewise.
There is nothing in our Constitution that precludes another revolution. Moreover, some of the Founding Father’s were prescient enough to understand the potential necessity of another revolution. They even wrote about it.
