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.

Aldrich Ames is a traitor. Robert Hanssen is a traitor. The Walker bunch are traitors.

FReepers who have a different opinion about the war in Iraq than you are not traitors.

You, and others, continue to devalue the meaning of "traitor" and "coward."

You should be ashamed.

If anyone cost the Republicans the majority, it was the senate and house RINOS and the "moderates" (i.e., liberal-tarian, drug lovin', homo-apologist, pro-abortion, illegal alien pandering bunch).

If the war on terror is the most important thing, illegal immigration must be dealt with and every illegal thrown out of here. Also, somebody that has a track record of screwing the second Amendment, resisting federal immigration laws and pandering to the homosexuals isn't worth considering...

You can probably take the question mark off Lugar. We Hoosiers know he has no allegiance to Republicans.

[NeoCaveman]

...Warner is positioning himself against Mark Warner in '08. Of course, JW has been leaning left for quite sometime.

Almost the entire list is up for Re-election in 2008, call my cynical but I think that's the common thread.

And another number for the US Capitol

LOLOL.....as if the jews don't have enough problems, Weasley had to pretend he just discovered his jewish roots.....ala madama halfbright!

I'm ready to discover some traditional Southern Baptist roots.

[OldFriend]

And it seems Brownback made his comments from Iraq. What a lowdown lowlife.

[KenmcG414]

Tell the GOP "NO" when they ask for contributions to the party.

[OldFriend]

Wonder if Weasley has the eyes of hundreds of thousands of Rwandans staring at HIM in the night.

Early on Coleman stated that he intended to honor Wellstone by carrying on with his legacy.

He has been in the forefront of the Oil for Food scandal, but otherwise he's been a disappointment.

[King of Florida]

FReepers who have a different opinion about the war in Iraq than you are not traitors.

Thanks for that. It's why I don't post on these threads. FReepers who subscribe to the realist foreign policy school are routinely pilloried.

[leadpenny]

Thank you for your comment.

Late last night I caught what may have been a re run on Anderson Cooper. He had a former Iraq veteran on who sounded exactly like Kerry when he came back from Iraq.

I believe he mentioned that he had worked on Kerry's presidential campaign. It was chilling to hear that type of anti American rant coming from a former soldier. He insisted nothing good could possibly come from this war.

[pgkdan]

I stand corrected. I wish I had been right. Ever since the election Republicans seem to disappoint at every turn!

[roses of sharon]

Very accurate description of those who has cast their allegiance with the anti-American Dim party, and betray their CIC in wartime.

If those on the Hill disagree with the CIC, they should tell him in private, come out of the WH telling their constituents that they have made their disagreements know privately so as not to give aid and comfort to the enemy, for all that matters is victory.

[Maynerd]

Well, first of all, I'm not a "bro". Secondly, this thread was very specifically about the GOP senators not supporting the Pres on his Iraq policy, not about national security in general.

An third of all your wound real tight.

[Mrs.Liberty]

thanks for the ping, Howlin. I am on it this morning. Is there any change to the *RAT 10 listed in #1?

[Howlin]

Not that I have heard.

BTW, I called MY two senators, Burr and Dole, and they support the president!

[sissyjane]

No point in me calling Babs and Dianne... :>(

[maica]

Wasn't Coleman a democrat who became a Republican?
