Is George Voinovich going to screw the GOP on health care?

His office says he is against healthcare. Thanks to Michelle for bringing it to our attention.

I wonder if he knows how it feels to be flattened in the middle of the highway by a steamroller. A big one.

I dont trust this fool.

Is this jerk THAT hungry for press coverage?? Say buh-bye Georgie........this will be your last term if you go through with this. It should be your last term for even THINKING about it.:(

Not trying to be a smartass, but could you please elaborate on your post? CC? Who is CC and why will CC people go crazy?

I am not from Ohio but after reading through this CC is the Cleveland Clinic, which seems to be the largest, and possibly only, employer left in the city of Cleveland.

The health care bill would destroy the clinic and make Cleveland start looking like Nagasaki after August 9, 1945.

Funny business like that will spark a populist revolt and a tidal wave in November. I agree, ALL Dems would be thrown out of office.

They’ll use Brown it health care fails and they need someone to blame, so that is they only way Brown could win.
Election fraud is out of control and impossible to stop as long as the RATS control the necessary seats that can stop anyone from any thing, from the smallest of crimes to the highest. Many of them guilty of TREASON and not one has been convicted yet or even brought to trial. I would like to see many of the RATS get the DEATH PENALTY FOR TREASON.
Any other country they would have stoned them, beat them or shot them but in America were afraid to get involved.
America at some point has to understand and realize that obozo is a mouth piece and puppet for the communist, liberal Rats. The Czars that have been appointed are extremely DANGEROUS to this country, we also have some very dangerous people in office like, Hitlary who truly belongs behind bars and nobody will go after her, so she travels around the world on one hell of a honeymoon, selling us out at every turn. Emanual and Astlerod along with Barney Frank and Chris Dodd need to be placed behind bars before they do anymore damage to this country.
Once before Americans in mostly large cities were forced into buying Insurance, Insurance was protection from the Mafia, only this time around you will give them the right to die law. obozocare will weed out the sick and elderly, they will be denied medical help or medicine. Clinton cried, I'm the first black President and expected everyone to fall in line and to as he said but with a Republican congress Clinton couldn't get his right Hitlarycare passed or his right to die law passed, so they FRAUDULANTLY put obozo into the white house to do the same dirty work the Clintons couldn't get done.
Keep a close eye on Hitlary and Russia, I think she will sell us out and Russia right now is trying to make a fool out of us. They know the STUPIDY of obozo and Hitlary and it could cost us our lives. There is also the matter of Clinton behind the iron curtain, a time when nobody knew where he was or how or Russia let him go.

Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.

[suijuris]

he’ll realize Hussein doesn’t really care one whit about him.

Doesn't matter. Voinobitch is a NWO POS. When he fist won the Senate seat he received more campaign money from out of state than any US senator in history. Prior to that McCain was number one.

Guys like McCain and Voinobicth are the bought and paid for whore representatives of the NWO money elite.

IMHO McCain's job was to take the fall so Obami can set up the US for the World Government.

Whores like Voinobitch quietly work on the sidelines to help make sure it happens.

[wilco200]

He is many of those things and I am 100% behind him, but don’t get crazy.

He is for “healthcare for all” just not this plan. He often praises the Mitt plan. He is pro- Roe v. Wade. and last year he did vote against lowing the State tax rate.

I should rephrase. He is definitely a Republican and a solid one. He’s just not the second coming of Reagan or a the kind of right-wing idealogue that many portray him as.

[rebapiper]

Your vote doesn't scare them one bit. They have the power to do what ever they want. They have the seats to control everything in this country. The Czars replace them, you won't see them sitting in the seats of the Senate but they will be sitting in the white house with full power and they don't have to answer to us. If they were scared obozocare would have been dropped like a hot potato. Those that can be blackmailed or don't want to be blamed for the obozocare or should I say the right to die care are resigning. Those cowards that are running don't have the guts to stand up and defend this country and their seats. The yellow streek they wear has gotten so heavy all they can do lay down and rolled over for this bunch of thugs.

[TheThinker]

Not if he wants to keep his job. And can he trust the Rats to really give him what he wants to sell out? I don’t think so.

[rebapiper]

He's never been much of a Republican if I recall. His greed for money and perhaps a little blackmail he wlll do tricks for this bunch. We have very few really truly Americans in office that would fight for their country. He wants to retire WEALTH and if he sells out he American people he will live the good live here on earth but one day he will answer to someone greater them these thugs in office. obozocare is MURDERCARE, TREASONCARE.

[CharlesWayneCT]

I don’t see why it would be hard for Obama to buy off Voinovich to get his vote. He could even become a Democrat.

If you can’t win an election, buy off an elected official. If you or I did it, we’d be arrested, but if Reid or Obama does it by putting the payment in a bill, then everything’s peachy-keen.

Or Obama could trade him an ambassadorship.

[xzins]

See, Wm. Read this. Voino is my senator. He doesn’t answer emails or phone calls, and like Malkin says, he’s a touchy-feely Rino.

Win Mass and lose Ohio to a Rino. Rino out; Rino in.

They gotcha covered.

[KansasGirl]

Wonder what payoff Barry is offering him...

From NRO online:

“UPDATE: ABC News Tweets:

Sen Voinovich at WH today says “I am not a vote for the health care bill, period.””

Jeepers. Thanks for the ping!

[Daisyjane69]

I’m sorry folks. I should have been more clear. What I meant by CC is Cleveland Clinic.

[wmfights]

I have to get back to you on this. :-)

[Jaidyn]

I called his Toledo office, and the staff reassured me that the meeting was about a different issue, that Voinovich is still opposed to the health care bill, and will never vote for it.
