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!

[The Mayor]

Then these are the ones we have to take out in the primary in their next election, along with McCain....

Here are the RINOs that voted for this thief -

Going down? They appear to be prevailing on everything they want.

[The Mayor]

Let’s list them all and start right now in both houses.

[usconservative]

McCain voted NO! I was stuned!

I'm shocked, honestly I am.

Although Voinovich and Snowe were no surprises. I hope they have big targets on them for 2010 (or whenever they're up for Re-election.)

The biggest surprise to me here is that in large part, the Republican Party seems to have grown a pair of balls. Let's see if they can keep it up.

[Cedric]

Are you ever gonna get around to condemning the 60 Democrat votes?

[buccaneer81]

What is with most of you? The pubbies held together in almost complete unanimity and you bitch about the 2 who broke ranks?

TEN! Ten voted yes.

But the love of your life, McCain, actually voted no.

[buccaneer81]

Although Voinovich and Snowe were no surprises. I hope they have big targets on them for 2010 (or whenever they're up for Re-election.)

Voinovich announced that he's retiring in 2010.

[Cedric]

So now Crapo, Ensign and Shelby are RINOs?

[anniegetyourgun]

Can you explain to me how he failed on getting his nominee through? Or anything else he wants?

[buccaneer81]

So now Crapo, Ensign and Shelby are RINOs?

They were tonight.

[usconservative]

No doubt he'll be replaced by some other "moderate/liberal RINO".

I just saw the list of the ten (10) Republicans that voted for Geithner.

I'd like to say I'm terribly disappointed in the Republican Party, but frankly this is the very type of behavior we've come to expect from them. (sigh....)

[Carry_Okie]

Seems to me Graham is the easiest to replace with a conservative.

[DoughtyOne]

There weren’t 60 Democrat votes. They don’t claim to be Conservatives. And I should think you would understand why I take those to task who claim to be, yet crossover to vote along side the Democrats, or don’t even show up to vote.

There are only 58 sitting Democrats in the Senate right now. And they are not the problem. Our side could have filibustered.

And last but not least, why would you ask me that question? Is being angry because our side wouldn’t stand up for what is right, supposed to indicate I support the Democrats? In what alternate universe would that make sense?

[PhiKapMom]

Because some Senators still believe that the President has a right to choose who he wants for his cabinet when he first takes office.

BTTT

The biggest surprise to me here is that in large part, the Republican Party seems to have grown a pair of balls. Let's see if they can keep it up.

10 Rep's voted for the nomination. 3 Dem's voted against. That leaves 10 of 31 Rep's voted for Geithner --- almost 30% voted for a nomination that a large majority of Americans disappoved. That's growing a pair of b***s? That's fear, IMO.

[gondramB]

>>He had the RINO votes of Voinovich and Snowe. But McCain voted NO. I was honestly shocked at that.<<

Maybe McCain thinks he is running again in 4 years.

[buccaneer81]

No doubt he'll be replaced by some other "moderate/liberal RINO".

Well, the rumor is that Kasich is running for Governor. Rob Portman looks like the probable candidate.

[Does so]

"...The country is trending liberal..."

It's certainly trending "foreign". Has there ever been an election with more foreign influence?
