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.

Me too --- when his name was added, it's with a question mark.

[Txsleuth]

I am not surprised about Graham...he is just following McCain's lead...and McCain has pretty much wrapped up his support in South Carolina.

[onyx]

I'll call senators from outside my state, since I know Lott and Cochrane are with POTUS.

[Txsleuth]

I wonder about the one new GOP Senator, Corker...anyone heard?

[eyespysomething]

I'll call Chambliss and Isakson, but I don't think I have to worry. I think I'll prod them (ahem, their staffers) into voicing, loudly, their support.

Actually, I bet they are with the President tomorrow at Ft. Benning. (Georgia and all)

[PhiKapMom]

He said he had names but I don't think he said who they were.

On his email form, Voinovich doesn't have a choice for any other state but Ohio. The cryin' coward.

[Txsleuth]

If no freepers are from Tennessee, I will call Corker's office.

I think I am going to call my Congressman's office, Joe Barton...he is a Texas Republican..and should be for Bush's plan...but, I want to tell his office I expect him to make sure everyone knows that.

Corker from TN -- he should be aligned with POTUS.

[Carolinamom]

I've already received an email from the WH acknowledging and thanking me for my email!!

[Yankee]

A-loon Spectacle has to be one of the other two.

[onyx]

I wonder if he'll screen calls too?

[Fudd Fan]

Still, it can't hurt to email every one. It's not like they have steel spines.

[Txsleuth]

Good...

When I heard about the blogger's interview with Tony Snow...I think I read that they are really going to pay attention to what feedback they get.

So....we should all give feedback.

I wish Tony still had his account.

[PhiKapMom]

Graham is on board but then he follows McCain's lead and McCain is out in front of this one.

[RGSpincich]

Ten GOP Senators looking for the homefield advantage in the WOT.

[streetpreacher]

I have a solution for the Senate.

[PhiKapMom]

I have Inhofe and Coburn -- will just send my usual keep up the great work!

[onyx]
