Looks like a lot of usual suspect RINOS ran and hid with the Democrats as the letter was being passed around.

I'm cut and pasting the names of the signers from a post at http://angela-stevens.com that I was able to find on google:

The letter was sent by Senators Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma), David Vitter (R-Louisiana), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Saxby Chambliss (R-Georgia), John Ensign (R-Nevada), Jim Bunning (R-Kentucky), Jon Kyl (R-Arizona), Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), Mike Johanns (R-Nebraska), Kit Bond (R-Missouri), Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi), James Risch (R-Idaho), Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), Pat Roberts (R-Kansas), John Thune (R-South Dakota), and Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama).

How DARE they bother Hillary! with such fripparies as her performing her actualy JOB!!

Don’t they know that ‘...We are the President!?’

Actually, I’m glad they’re poking her. I hope the stick is sharp enough.

She. Is. Worthless.

“Looks like a lot of usual suspect RINOS ran and hid with the Democrats as the letter was being passed around.”

To be expected as RINO’s are nothing but agents of the Leftist agenda whose Commie haircuts are shaded under the umbrella of the GOP.

They have to be exposed, shine the light upon them, and make them scurry back to their own side.

There must be two distinct political platforms for our Constitution to survive, and one of those platforms has to be in favor of that Constitution. Conservatism is the only political platform protection of we the people.

Whoa! Did I misread the letter? Didn’t it state that the signers were backing the ousting of Zelaya and deriding the attempted legitimazation of Zelaya? Are you saying John Kyl is a RINO? What the heck?? Where am I going wrong?

I think they are saying there should have been MORE than 17 signatures.

“Whoa! Did I misread the letter?”

That I don’t know, but you definitely did NOT get that my post was about the RINO’s that did NOT sign the letter.

Poster “Perchant” noted in the first post “Looks like a lot of usual suspect RINOS ran and hid with the Democrats as the letter was being passed around.”

An astute observation by “Perchant”, thus my rant.

Thanks for your response.

This article from the Honduran constitution ought to be included so that brilliant constitutional lawyers like Zer0 and Hildebeast can contemplate it.

ARTICLE 42 .- The quality of citizen is lost:

1. 1. Por prestar servicios en tiempo de guerra a enemigos de Honduras o de sus aliados; For service in wartime enemies of Honduras or its allies;

2. 2. Por prestar ayuda en contra del Estado de Honduras, a un extranjero oa un gobierno extranjero en cualquier reclamación diplomática o ante un tribunal internacional; For assistance with the State of Honduras, an alien or a foreign government in any diplomatic claim or before an international tribunal;

3. 3. Por desempeñar en el país, sin licencia del Congreso Nacional, empleo de nación extranjera, del ramo militar o de carácter político; To play in the country, without license from the National Congress, employment of foreign nation, or military branch of a political nature;

4. 4. Por coartar la libertad de sufragio, adulterar documentos electorales o emplear medios fraudulentos para burlar la voluntad popular; For the freedom to vote, electoral documents adulterate or use fraudulent means to circumvent the popular will;

5. 5. Por incitar, promover o apoyar el continuismo o la reelección del Presidente de la República; y, Incite, encourage or support the continuity or re-election of President of the Republic, and

6. 6. Por residir los hondureños naturalizados, por más de dos años consecutivos, en el extranjero sin previa autorización del Poder Ejecutivo. Naturalized Honduran resident for more than two consecutive years abroad without prior approval of the Executive.

En los casos a que se refieren los numerales 1) y 2), la declaración de la pérdida de la ciudadanía la hará el Congreso Nacional mediante expediente circunstanciado que se forme al efecto. In the cases referred to in paragraphs 1) and 2) the declaration of loss of citizenship will file the National Congress through circumstances that formed for the purpose. Para los casos de los numerales 3) y 6), dicha declaración la hará el Poder Ejecutivo mediante acuerdo gubernativo; y para los casos de los incisos 4) y 5) también por acuerdo gubernativo, previa sentencia condenatoria dictada por los tribunales competentes. For the cases of paragraphs 3) and 6) That the statement made by the Executive Government Agreement, and for the cases of subparagraphs 4) and 5) also by governmental agreement, after the sentence handed down by courts.

It is easier to read at the link.

++++++++++++++

Or make them scurry back to our side - why not that? (there is that trust issue...) With enough pressure in the primaries, some of these dolts will do that. But the key is frighten or beat some of ‘em.

That trust issue you mentioned is my point. They can’t be trusted, send ‘em packin’.

We’ll see if we have the electoral muscle to do that. I’m all for that. But short of that, I want to drive ‘em back into our camp, with the fear of God in ‘em.

Maybe more of them can sign on? For instance, I’m shocked Patty Murray didn’t sign...lol...
