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.

Sad, isn't it?

Voinovich was either sleeping or sobbing so loudly he didn't hear the returns this past November. Ohioans don't like RINOs. Some people never learn.

The only two who surprise me are Brokeback and Coleman. I expect nothing else of the others including Warner. He has gone very wobbly lately.

I don't believe that list...esp Senator Brownback.

It's true, search Brownback on Free Republic for more.

To H with them

The Senate has to be the most over-estimated, pompous, exaggerated self-aggrandized group of individuals I have ever seen.

Thanks for the info. I'm pushing 50 and have avidly followed or been involved in politics for 25 years, and I can't remember a time that I've been angrier. This is an outrage!!!!!

[ilovew]

Those are the two that surprise me as well. I thought those two understood the importance of this.

Here's the toll free number for the US Capitol......you know what to do......

Already e-mailed the White House. The turncoat Republicans are scared to death, and probably won't change the votes. The hell with the cowards!

[mystery-ak]

We need to find out the other two.

What do Arlen Specter and Dick Lugar think? I forgot the former governor of Iowa is running for president. He is a mental defective. Sad really.

I don't believe that list...esp Senator Brownback.

Brownback opposes Iraq plan, Roberts offers cautious support

The article contains several of Brownback's comments, mostly against the President's plan. (preemptive strike from a Presidential wannabe).

Brownback can close down his Presidential campaign. Can you imagine this coward as Commander in Chief?

[Howlin]

Write to these ten senators and tell them to support the President in Iraq.

And write your OWN representative and tell them you appreciate their support for the president.

They disappointed us for the last six years; it is TIME for us to get our pound of flesh.

I was wondering what Oliver North was going to say and I just heard him on FOX with a supporting tone.

[Ironfocus]

Sad. After 4 years of continuous badgering the mainstream media and the Hollywood left has finally swung pulic opinion, and these senators would rather do what is popular instead of what is right.
