Voinovich sticks to his conscience (FR Mention)

Voinovich looks so much like just another Ohio commie with an Eastern European name ~ they've had a number of them run for the Senate over the years.

Usually they run as Democrats. This guy ran as a Republican, so I guess that makes him smarter than the others of his kind.

[kcvl]

Let Democrat Senator Voinovich get his money for reelection from the democrats.

NOT ONE PENNY!!!

The Republican Party can KISS MY *SS if they think I'm going to donate one dime to the party that supports people like Voinovich! I'll donate to the individual candidate before I give them another penny to spend on people like that IDIOT who didn't think it important enough to even SHOW UP during the hearings!

"Voinovich looks so much like just another Ohio commie with an Eastern European name"
I happen to be a Republican Ohioan with an East European name. I ain't a commie but a solid conservative disgusted with Voinavich.
Don't paint us all with the same brush.

If you beat all the bull shit out of that article, it would only consist of two words.

[SoCar]

Of course he's "sticking to his conscience" and "oh so principled" when he does what the liberals and their lap dog media want! If Lieberman or any other Rat supports Bolton, I guarantee the coverage will include no such noble sentiments about their "conscience."

The mainstream media in this country is so far in the tank for the left that all of us who are right of center should be denouncing them daily, loudly and clearly. Our Reps should be shouting their double standard crap from the congressional floor. This is such BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NonValueAdded]

Gee, no mention of screaming at the air traffic controllers. How does that jibe with civility towards government employees?

"If you beat all the bull shit out of that article, it would only consist of two words."

Yep. Bull shit.

[SuziQ]

So he was personally repulsed at what he saw in Bolton.

No, he was personally repulsed by what the partisan Democrat operatives had to SAY about what Bolton was like. Has Voinivich ever had the opportunity to work directly with Bolton? If not, then how would he know for sure what Bolton was like?

I wonder if the MSM will treat Joe Lieberman so lovingly if he jumps from the Democrat ship and votes FOR Bolton. The media always talks about Repubs. marching in 'lock step', but they never seem to mention the Democrats who do the same thing. It's BAD for Repubs, but I guess it's ok for Dems.

While he's trying to convince "them" they should "get on board with us" maybe he should be paying attention to the "us" he wants "them" to get on board with.
Like an activist judge or elitist democrat _________ (fill in the blank), he is going to follow his conscience, regardless and in spite of those he has pledged to represent. And if it turns out that "little voice" he followed was his ego and not his conscience, well "so what?". He is "The Senator".
Just another McCainesque quisling in RINO's clothes.

[muawiyah]

If you are not a commie, there was no insult directed at you. However, there have been a string of these guys bouncing around over there for many decades, and it's always the same pattern.

The point being that both Indiana and Virginia cleaned up their problem with the Ku Klux Klan 3/4 of a century ago yet Ohio continues to play footsie with these Wobblies and Anarchists down to the present day.

Time to clean the place up.

Oh, yeah, he looks really sad in those pictures---

I think this call for the "somethin ain't right" club!!!

He was reading his testimony yesterday like he had never seen it before---I wonder who wrote it? Ms. O'Connell?

If he was following his conscience, he would have felt proud and exhilarated, I would think, not tired, and near tears....

[Txsleuth]

"Right now, we're Uncle Sugar"?

[kcvl]

If "elected officials" were fired because of their arrogance, temper tantrums, outright lying, campaign irregularities, not doing their jobs, law breaking, etc., etc., etc. D.C. would be EMPTY!

“Go to hell, Voinovich,” said one blogger on freerepublic.com, a leading conservative Internet blog. Another blogger dismissed Voinovich as “a gun-grabbing, tax raising RINO” – Republican In Name Only.

Hey Ma, look at me, I'm a blogger!

[Chi-townChief]

Jeez, I think this guy Condon wrote for the PD when I still lived in Cleveland 40 years ago!

[small voice in the wilderness]

Selling out takes a lot out of a man, I suppose. But is he sleeping any easier these days..? Maybe his slumber is interrupted by that still, small voice crying softly into his ear, "George, you sonofab**ch! Wake up, damn you, and march your sad a** down to the Senate and apologize for the turmoil you've caused. Get UP, you worthless POS and face yourself in the mirror. !#%! for brains, I tell ya. !#%! for brains." I pray that is the conversation he's having with his conscience. IF he can recognize its voice anymore.

[Chode]

i sent him an email calling him an Oxygen Thief...

[Rommel76]

I live in Southern Ohio and you can bet I will never vote for him again.

I dare say there are alot of Republicans like me aound here.

[Investment Biker]

No his name is Rinovich
