It is reported that Senator Lott has a list of 10 names of GOP senators who have elected to stand with the democrats, instead of supporting our own WAR TIME, GOP POTUS.

---

The list thus far:

Brownback;

Coleman;

Lugar?;

Snow;

Collins;

Hagel;

and likely

Voinovich;

Smith;

Two have not yet been named (outed).

.

A few quotes:

• “I do not believe that sending more troops to Iraq is the answer. Iraq requires a political rather than a military solution.” – Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan.
• “If Iraq is going to fulfill its role as a sovereign and democratic state, it must start acting like one. It is for this reason that I oppose the proposal for a troop surge.” – Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn.
• “This is a dangerously wrongheaded strategy that will drive America deeper into an unwinnable swamp at a great cost,” said Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb.,
• Several Republican senators are candidates for backing the resolution against a troop increase. Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, Gordon Smith of Oregon and Norm Coleman of Minnesota said they oppose sending more soldiers.

  Republican Sens. George Voinovich of Ohio and John Warner of Virginia also might be persuaded. Warner said he supports the Iraq Study Group recommendations, which strongly cautioned against an increase in troops unless advocated by military commanders.

Well that's good news

Onyx, you're awesome! I should have known I'd find this info on FR. I just emailed Lott to ask that he publish these names. I also emailed Brownback cause I heard he was not planning to support the President's position.

I will call each of these people. Toll free number to U.S. Capitol..1-866-220-0044.
This is the reason we lost the majority in the House and Senate. Cause the R's didn't stand strong and united. They were too busy reacting to the 'poll of the day'.
I'll also call White House comment line to show support of our President. God bless him.

Oh, okay. Well, I'm going to be spending a lot of time calling those stupid senators tomorrow.

[Wolfstar]

Well, write them a nasty letter

Actually, I think I'll write to remind them what they were all saying back in 1998, when the Dems from Clinton on down were all talking tough on Iraq. Phony SOB's.

[swheats]

Hard to believe Coleman is among this bunch. Must be running scared towards the next election.

I am disappointed!!!

Sam never took to the Senate floor,lets give him a chance to correct the record.

[ilovew]

Yeah, the post said that it was the list he had, not that he had named them. I wonder who did name them.

"Wow, who the heck made up this list?
Wonder if Coleman is off the list too. sheesh."


Coleman announced it on the Senate Floor today .. he is against more troops

They did it; I'd say the Mods were wonderful, but a whole fresh thread would go up you know where.

What is it with people who want to turn every thread into a discussion on immigration? I thought this thread was about IRAQ.

You're the awesome one!!!

I just emailed Lott to ask that he publish these names.

Excellent idea! And I can call his MS office tomorrow!

Chris Matthews named quite a few of them.

They'll out themselves by dawn.

[mystery-ak]

Sam is in Iraq and said it there...

LOL -- oh yeah, those miserable bitter afers like to "publish" what shallow, wasted lives. LOL

[A Citizen Reporter]

Well one thing that I'm going to do is make it VERY CLEAR to the GOP that incumbent or not, these ANTI-AMERICAN Jerks, will not receive a dime of my money in support.

The Party had better understand that it will have financial consequence for these traitors that call themselves Republicans.

They might as well all call themselves "Jefford's".

[OldFriend]

thanks. perhaps he watches too much ollie north.

[OldFriend]

So North was against the surge before he was for the surge.

Blech
