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!

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.
