RINOs Hutchison, Collins and Snowe voted with the Dems to cut off debate on the Military Defense Bill which was being filibustered by Repubs to slow down the health care bill. Hutchison is vying with Perry for Texas governor. I saw both their names on an older list of CFR members. Are they still members?
this is why all the hype about Lieberman or Nelson being the 60th vote for the obamacare cloture vote. I expect Coolins or Snowe or some other alleged republican to vote with the demholes..Graham for instance..
Candidate for Texas Governor KBH was recently endorsed by Dick Cheney. I don’t get it.
Don’t know about your question, but she is trying to get out of the Senate as fast as she can. Doesn’t really matter to her whether health impair passes. I’m not voting for her. She has a past that is not as conservative as I would like. Can’t name the paticulars, just when she pissed me off, I don’t forget that.
She lost me (I was living in TX at the time) when she joined all the FemiNazis piling on the USN after Tailhook ‘92. I couldn’t care less what happens with her - there are plenty of conservative Texans who could replace her.
It gets her out of the senate.
She is running for Gov. of Texas but won’t resign unless she beats Rick Perry in the primary. Loser
RINOs are lower than dems!
Are you calling me a loser.
“Candidate for Texas Governor KBH was recently endorsed by Dick Cheney. I don’t get it.”
Your kidding right? Dick Cheney is a career politician, owned by the bankers, could give a shit about America and only talks tough about the ware to save his reputation - typical GOP who would unleash the Army on the American people if they dared to rise up and demand the constitution be enforced.
I think it was directed at HBH, that she is a ‘loser’ because she will not go all in with her campaign - resign from the Senate and run for Governor.
Political paybacks. The same for Palin's endorsement of Perry.
Both Perry and Hutchison are huge RINOs and conservative Texans are going to be left with a choice between the lesser of the two RINOs next year.
FWIW, I think KBH is not only the bigger RINO, she has become a Washington elitist and doesn't know or care what's going on in Texas. Perry may be a big RINO as well, but Texas is the envy of the nation, these days, for having created more jobs and not running huge budget deficits. We can pick and choose things about Perry's performance as governor, but those are major attributes, IMO.
Yeah, and she has the gall to have commercials saying she is staying the Senate at risk to her political future to make sure we dont get ObamaCare. What a joke, she is staying in to make sure she has a job when she doesnt win the primary.

Let’s ask John (Freakonomics) Lott about RINO women, or about women, in general:
BC: You mention in your book that women’s suffrage led to a massive increase in the size of government, why is this the case?
Dr. John Lott: When I originally started working on this my wife begged me not to do the research.
Two reasons. I think that women are generally more risk averse then men are and they see government as one way of providing insurance against life’s vagaries. I also think that divorced women with kids particularly turn towards government for protection. Simply giving women the right to vote explained at least a third of the growth in government for about 45 years.
The effect on state governments was pretty dramatic, and I think that it not only explains a lot of the government’s growth in the US but also the rest of the world over the last century. When states gave women the right to vote, government spending and tax revenue, even after adjusting for inflation and population, went from not growing at all to more than doubling in ten years. As women gradually made up a greater and greater share of the electorate, the size of government kept on increasing. This continued for 45 years as a lot of older women who hadn’t been used to voting when suffrage first passed were gradually replaced by younger women.
After you get to the 1960s, the continued growth in government is driven by higher divorce rates. Divorce causes women with children to turn much more to government programs. Of course, changes in the divorce laws from “at fault” to “no fault” helped cause some of this change. As I discuss in the book, the liberalization of abortion also led to more single parent families.
