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.
Brownback;
Coleman;
Lugar?;
Snow;
Collins;
Hagel;
and likely
Voinovich;
Smith;
Two have not yet been named (outed).
.
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.
LOL...you don't have to worry, do you? Your state votes in good Senators.
I actually feel a lot more optimistic (as optimistic as a realist/pessimist can be) about the war after hearing the President lay out his vision for Iraq tonight.
His only choices on the form are Ohio and military areas.
LOL. Maybe if the RNC stopped supporting its RINO incumbents against primary challengers.
Wasn't he Elizabeth Taylor's bitch during her "Fat Elvis" years?
He's always been a wobbly piece of shit.

That's not true. I don't know where all those polls are coming from. I don't know ANY Republicans in South Carolina who like McCain. At all.
I'm so tired and angry by now I'm punchy.
I felt good after the speech...but, then to hear about all of the mischief and shenanigans that the Dems and some Rinos are going to pull...
While we are at war...while we have troops fighting for their's and our lives...it just makes me sick.
I'm glad to hear that, SP.
I want them to throw everything that they have at them, though.
Iron, that's exactly the case. We keep hearing that the "public" has turned against the war; when in fact, it's the media's continuous and continual undermining of our war on terrorism that is behind America's wounded will to win.
You have summarized the situation quite succinctly.
.
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.
I can't get this video to load .. but this is from last week .. I don't know if he's changed his mind
Though .. keep in mind the Source of this info

In an interview with Chris Matthews, Sen. Trent Lott, who holds the No. 2 leadership position in the Republican Party, said he may not vote for a troop surge in Iraq. Click here or on the image below to watch the video
I don't think so. She was standing with Mitch McConnell yesterday when he was criticizing the dims.
That b#$tard --- he wouldn't dare!
They probably got that information from the McCain campaign people in South Carolina....just to scare off anyone else.
I see it -- thanks!!!
Sam wants a political solution???
Well..in case he hasn't paid attention, OUR political community isn't behaving very well themselves...so how does he think that WE can show the Iraqis how to deal with this politically??
