And once again, Republicans fail to come through. It is a definite pattern.

[lightman]

Yup, a couple of stones short of a pair.

A Censure does not really change anything professionally for the recipient, does it? Just a “Sternly worded note has now placed in your career files!” The deeds have already been done and cannot be undone. Didn’t CheneyDottir-Liz get such a Censure as well? You can see how concerned she is about it
—NOT!

“The Republican Party needs unity, not a purge,” Joseph DiSarro, a political science professor at Washington & Jefferson College in southwestern Pennsylvania

Yes, it does need a purge of RINOs from leadership. The party is going nowhere with those dickweeds in charge.

We ddn’t want Demo-lite.

Mittens 2012 was a disaster and has been a fustercluck ever since.

Committee members were given the choice of voting for a statement proposed by Chairman Lawrence Tabas that “strongly rebukes but does not censure” Toomey, and a second statement that does censure him.

The censure movement was blocked by a narrow 128-124 margin, with 13 abstentions, according to a source who had been briefed on the results.

So they voted to "rebuke" but not to"censure"?

Is there really a difference? Aren't they both just verbal criticisms?

He was a cluster back when he threw the 1994 Massachusetts senate election to Ted Kennedy. He out abortion righted and gay righted the Tedster in the final debate. He was ahead and went into freefall.

The 2012 “choice” was between Øbama and Øbama-lite.

We need to fill the vacant Committemen slots with those who support TRUMPISM.

Pennsylvania conservatives should sit on their hands next election - or vote for the Democrat.

Pathetic

[GOP Poet]

I’m going to have to read up on censuring.

[caww]

Well our county here in Western PA. has indeed ‘censored’ Toomey regardless of the state's position.....We've been fighting Gov.Wolf all along as well as in the state Supreme Court.

Thirteen cowards.

Basically 13 cowards afraid to offend anyone.

Oh my, there are good arguments on both sides. I just don’t know. I’ll just have to sit this one out.

Just like Obama back in the Illinois Senate. They can’t be bothered to know what the issues are and they can’t take a side.

"So they voted to "rebuke" but not to"censure"?"

They could have expressed their displeasure, reprimanded him, issued a reproach, admonished him, chastised him, or rebuked him. But I would have liked to see them thoroughly castigate him.

Good luck in the 2020 elections Pennsylvania. If you are not interested in identifying and purging RINO’s, you are NOT true Republicans and there’s little reason to vote for your RINOs.

Hé was also admonished.
