Geithner Confirmed with some Repub Support
Fox News Live | 1/26/09 | vanity

Posted on 01/26/2009 3:48:28 PM PST by pabianice

Geithner vote of 60-34 (near strict party line), Gibbs' Press Beatings, Pelosi's $300M for abortion, Obama's "I won so shut up" -- The speed with which the Obama Administration is going down is breathtaking -- and wonderful!

All Obama's big talk about ethics. All of his new admin officials talk to the same.

Salazar, new Secretary of the Department of the Interior sent out a big memo today talking about how great it was to have the most ethical administration and strongest ethic rules ever in government.

Then one of Obama's 1st acts is to waive his own rules for his pic as Treasury Secretary. A man to be in charge of our tax policy who himself has not paid.

Says it all right there.

Thanks! I’m going to work my everliving ass off to get these losers fired! Or at the very least, everything they do become absolutely meaningless. I want these traitors OUT of my party, now!

I guess elections have consequences. Maybe we should have run a conservative candidate.

What 6 people didn’t vote? I guess it’s actually five, but what’s up with that?

And who crossed the party line? I want their name. They need to find something better to do with their time, than betray us on a regular basis.

I have some suggestions for Obama as appointments given the confirmation of Geithner, and the appointment of that ACLU lawyer to the CIA...

For the head of Bureau of Prisons, Charles Manson.

For the head of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, former rep Jefferson. I mean, who known more about “cold, hard cash” than Jefferson?

Deputy to Geithner, head of the IRS? Marc Rich.

Head of the Food and Drug Administration? Unfortunately, Jeffery Dahmer would fit in well, but he’s dead.

Head of the BATF? Sara Brady or Pete Shields.

Mark

Too late. Voinovich is already gone (retiring). An ultra-liberal will get his seat, maybe Kucinich. You watch.

GOOD! At least then I know the enemy is at least outside of my own friggin party!

We Need Names As if a few minutes ago, the IS Senate website hadn't posted the roll call vote. I'll post it here as soon as it's available.

Then we probably would have lost 62-38 instead of 54-46. No Republican was going to win in 2008, conservative, moderate, or liberal. The country is trending liberal, and that means ‘Rats are going to be the odds-on favorites to win. We’ll get back in if there is a big-time screw-up by the ‘Rats, like in ‘80. Barring that, I think we’re sunk unless we get a candidate with very broad appeal.

I sent my two senators an fax last week and said either start voting GOP or officially change parties so we can replace you.

Do you think they are getting our protests? I’ve written my rep, Sensenbrenner, Yeah, at least I have that. And my state reps (good conservatives, biggest conservative county in Wisconsin), that we’ve dumped the GOP, but will support conservatives directly. His response was, I’m battling for you. I don’t bother with Kohl and feingold, they just send canned letters.
