Brownback Can Kiss '08 Run Goodbye [buh-bye!]

HUMAN EVENTS ^ | 03/27/06 | By: Robert B. Bluey

Don’t take Sen. Sam Brownback (R.-Kan.) seriously when he talks about running for President in 2008. Brownback’s vote today with Senate Democrats on an amnesty bill should put an end to any remote chance he had at the White House.

Brownback joined Republican Senators Arlen Specter (Pa.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and Mike DeWine (Ohio) to move a Teddy Kennedy-endorsed immigration reform bill through the Judiciary Committee. I’m being generous by calling it “reform.”

Another turd-in-the-punchbowl for amnesty.

He has made a permanent enemy out of me for certain. So has the smurphy Lindsey Graham. I watched his performance in the Judiciary Committee yesterday. I don't know what people were thinking when they elected that mental light weight to any office.

He's losing to Fred Thompson in the Presidential March Madness.

What a time to get weak in the knees.

I can't believe the GOP senators went for a compromise on this issue.

I guess it's official now: We are, after all, a nation of men, not of laws.

Nothing good will come from this.

[Little Ray]

Oh, no. Pukin' Dog will tell ya that Bush and the Senate just saved the Republican party.

For what? Beats me...

[gopwinsin04]

He's not going to win any votes in the primaries with what happened yesterday.

[TXBSAFH]

Agreed

Graham and Brownback were toadies for The Toad Kennedy. Kyl & Sessions were great as was Cornyn when he was there.

Brownback carried water for the Dems all day. Disgusting.

[johnny7]

This issue will separate the wheat from the chaff... scratch another so-called... conserrrrrrrvative.

[pissant]

Remote to start with, impossible now.

[alloysteel]

If Ted Kennedy is in favor of ANYTHING, that is a strong endorsement for opposing whatever it is that is up for vote.

Make you a deal, Teddy. Allow the installation of wind-driven generators off the shore of Cape Cod, and when you have demonstrated your dedication to energy independence, then you may be considered for amnesty relating to certain events that took place on July 18, 1969, at a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island.

That is the only amnesty Teddy shold be talking about.

"What a time to get weak in the knees."

Kinda reminds you of Spain..sheesh! Spineless!

[johnny7]

Whores of the little pimp... Johnny McCain.

We should just open all prison doors and release every prisoner in this country. The only people in the USA that pay for breaking the law is citizens born here.
America is full of weak back A$$holes and most of them are in Congress or government.

Graham is McVain's "mini me" and lackey and overall stooge. I can't wait for him to come up for reelection. Unfortunately, I will have to wait until 2008.

Graham ran as a conservative before. I hope somebody--anybody--runs against him in the primary.

[cowboyway]

I don't know what people were thinking when they elected that mental light weight to any office.

We were thinking, based on his record in SC and his campaign, that Mr. Graham was a Reagan conservative. Also, his involvement in the Clinton impeachment when Graham was in the House put him in good stead with the local conservatives.

He grew up near where I live and he had a good reputation in these parts.

However, it does appear that Graham will have a serious challenger in '08 from a businessman named Thomas Ravenel. Ravenel has called Graham "the third senator from New York." And based on Graham's evergrowing RINO status, I think this will stick.

Brownback: perfect on social issues, weak on immigration.

Other candidates: weak or bad on social issues, weak on immigration.

[gopwinsin04]

Sam may have killed his chances for the VP slot as well.
