Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison says she will vote against confirming Sonia Sotomayor to be a Supreme Court justice.
She said Tuesday she is concerned about Sotomayor's views on the Second Amendment on the right to bear arms. Hutchison is from Texas, where the population is more than a third Hispanic.

I didn’t say I like her. I just don’t think she deserves the label RINO. She’s no Jesse Helms but she no Lindsey Graham either.

Interesting that one of the “no” votes was cast by John McCain.
Gov.Perry wants to seceed. It is someting to discuss. Hutchinson is voting against Sotomayor because she is running for govenor.
When even someone as left wing as Erbe is singing your praises for being a rino then you have a problem.
Gov. “I can’t look a girl in the eye” Perry doesn’t want to secede. He is only trying to keep his political life relevant in case he might decide to run for the POTUS one day.
He may talk like he’s a right-winger, but a true conservative would not have tried the end-run he used just to cozy up to his buddies at Merck.
I’m still voting for KBH in the primary. I cannot think of anything she has done that is worse that those deeds done by Perry.
I always thought she would have been a good choice for McCain’s VP.
Bingo.
Interesting. Jesse Helms voted for her.
Wonder what the Demwit vote against nominees has been in the past?
Lindsey Graham thought that he would lead a RINO stampede, but it hasn’t worked out as he hoped.
For the most part KBH has voted fairly conservative.
Ted Nugent!
Now THERE’S a Patriot !! :^D
Who WOULDN’T vote for him !?!?!
Hutchison gets an 89.38 Lifetime rating from the ACU:

Which doesn’t make her a RINO.
But she has the personality and likeability of a
wet dishrag, imho. :)

MY favorite is Sam Johnson, with a 98.04 Lifetime
rating. He is a REAL American, imho. (And he is
MY Rep, too!). :)
Heee Hawww........RUN TED RUN.......LOL
Kay is voting against the sistahood? Is she running for something?/s/
