Geithner Confirmed with some Repub Support

Fox News Live | 1/26/09 | vanity

[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!

[MAD-AS-HELL]

HAHA! GREAT ONE!!!

[stylin19a]

don't be ...Repubs can vote “no” for political cover, knowing that these guys have enough votes to be approved.

[DoughtyOne]

I guess the fact that we have a 41 to 58 status right now is lost on you. We could have blocked this nomination with some leadership? Instead we actually have our people cross over, and others not even vote.

Do we stand for anything anymore? Here’s a tax cheat, and we don’t care enough to block his nomination to be the head of the Treasury, the IRS, the Secret Service.

This guy, is unfit to hold this office. It’s a glaring affront to common decency that our party didn’t care more than this about the subject.

Obama:FAIL

[MarkL]

Voinovich...arrrgh!!!!! The Ohio Republicans better not ask me to vote for another RINO to replace him. OOOOOHH

Isn't he the "crybaby" who broke out into tears on the senate floor? Nice display of strength to our enemies while we're at war.

What the hell happened to Cornyn and Shelby?! Especially Shelby!

[Arizona Carolyn]

How, pray tell, does that help us going forward? We know Voinivich is retiring.... are the people in the state too stupid or lazy to identify and support a good conservative over the next year?

[buccaneer81]

But he's...he's...a...Maverick!

Man, I thought Cornyn was one of the good ones. I’m real surprised by that. Does somebody have something on him?

[EGPWS]

Voinovich and Snowe may have (R) after their names but they are NOT REAL REPUBLICANS.

Gosh what a revelation to behold. ...For one who is too young to leave the sustenance of the political teat anyway.

Senate Votes

[Sgt_Schultze]

Republicans should immediately call the press to hear about their new Geithner Bill which will disallow prosecution of all tax cheats and employers of illegal aliens. Democrats should be encouraged to add their names as they have already approved it as policy.
