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.

ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

I want them to throw everything that they have at them, though.

Well, President Bush has nothing more to lose so I hope the gloves come off and we crush Al-Sadr, bomb Iran and Syria, etc.

The whole field looks like a race for the bottom to me.

I am looking at Romney right now. Rudy would be great for the military, law enforcement and taxes, but wrong on guns and gays and I don't trust him to appoint conservative to the bench.

The rest of them either plain suck like McStain, or stand no chance of winning like Newt.

Good for you!!! I don't care how much McCain stands behind Pres. Bush on the war....he isn't what we need as POTUS>


BTW.... I saw ole Wesley Clark on Bill O'Reilly tonight..and I thought he was gonna LOSE it..because Bill was not buying his BS!!! LOL

[onyx]

Excellent! Persuasively and respectfully stated. Well done!!!

[streetpreacher]

This is just downright embarrassing.

Democrat Rep Marshall, Ga is also on board. He liked the Pres's speech and is firm in saying that abandoning Iraq is a disaster he will not support.

McCain added that those who are calling for a withdrawal must explain what they’ll do when Iraq and the Middle East crumbles

Thanks, onyx! Now I know who to send letters to. BUMP!

[Chena]

BUMP!!!!!!!!!

Well...I hope that McCain stands up on the Senate floor and asks just that...especially to the RINOS.

Oh..but, that is right, Brownback the POTUS candidate is too busy campaigning in Iraq...blech.

[nopardons]

No, they'll DAMN themselves by dawn! :-)

Here's the toll free number for the US Capitol......you know what to do...... 1-800-862-5530

BTTT!!! Thank you, OldFriend!

[roses of sharon]

I think the debates will help us decide, there may be a standout.

[It's me]

I can't believe Brownback. Is that true????

Very disappointing!

[Dawgreg]

Send him and Sheets Byrd to the basket farm.......pleeeeeeze!

[Chena]

BTTT!!!! Well said, penelopesire!

[ilovew]

McCain isn't even an option. He has no idea what's going on. Everything he's ever done in his life was so that he could run for president. I don't trust him.

Lol I bet that was funny. Clark thinks he's a god. He gets very irritated if people don't agree with everything he says.
