Not too many surprises there.

Maybe Kelly Ayotte, but I've seen rumblings about her here on FP that she isn't what she purported to be.

Lindsey Graham (South Carolina – primary 2014)

I wonder what Mizz Lindsey knows that we don't know about her re-election chances? Has Juan promised her some ballot monkey business in the primaries?

Doesn’t sound correct;.

I recall Obamacare stayed funded during the shutdown with no CR and no budget signed into law.

It was funded in the original Obamacare bill passed 2010.

So even if they successful killed this budget Obamacare would still be funded.

...she isn't what she purported to be.

Beside the few noted exceptions, what politician is?

Where is traitor Chambliss in this mix? Did the traitor get a conscience or something. I see his little tard brother Isakson voted for it.

I posted this on the last thread about the appropriatations bill, but the reason Sen. Moran (KS) voted for it is (presumably) because according to Gun Owners of America he added an amendment which will ban funding for any attempt to enforce the UN Arms Trade Treaty in the US.

Per Gun Owners of America:

For a year now, we have told you that we easily have the 34 votes necessary to defeat ratification of the UN Arms Trade Treaty. That treaty would set the stage for far-ranging gun and magazine bans, gun registration, and gun microstamping requirements.

We have told you that the next task would be to pass an appropriations bill amendment which would defund any Obama effort to implement the ATT by executive fiat. And we have drafted such an amendment and made it available to Congress.

That amendment to defund the UN ATT is about to happen.

Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) has announced that he has amended the must-pass omnibus appropriations bill to ban funding for the implementation of the ATT.

That big appropriations bill has pluses and minuses, and it probably is not the bill we would have drafted. But the win on the Arms Trade Treaty is huge.

Maybe Kellie Ayotte

Maybe????? Not only did she not stand with Ted Cruz in his 21 hours, she was up there right alongside McCain spouting the RNC backstabber line as soon as it was over. She bare-a**ed lied to get elected, espousing conservative policies. I don't know why the people of NH even let her come back and visit the state.

The ones I have lower-than-dirt regard for are those who get elected as conservative Republicans with promises to that voting base in order to get elected. Then they backstab us before they've even had time to unpack. Why do I have the lowest regard for them?.....they're holding a seat that a constitutional conservative by rights won.

“We have told you that the next task would be to pass an appropriations bill amendment which would defund any Obama effort to implement the ATT by executive fiat.”

Does anyone else see the fatal flaw with this line of thinking? “Obama is lawless so we’re going to make a law to stop him.” High five!!

Wish I were as optimistic that Mark Kirk was toast, or that if he is voted out, that the Chicago libs don’t get someone even worse elected, since the IL GOP has been neutered.

I’m somewhat surprised at Shelby. He’s usually fairly reliable. Not in the league with Sessions but this is a disappointment.

They’re quite a pair, huh?

I was surprised to see Chambliss missing, as well.
Glad Chambliss is retiring, and will support anyTHING that runs against Isakson.

As far as I’m concerned, anybody that runs for Chambliss’ seat and speaks well of him, or he of they, is dead electoral meat in my book. Anybody HE endorses, or the GRNC endorses is dead meat. ANYBODY.

As for Isakson, a more despicable public trough moocher has never existed. He ran for anything and everything trying to fill his gut at the Federal trough. No principles, no morals in my opinion. A waste of air. I’m gonna primary him so bad in 2016.
