Despite strong opposition from Thune and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), several Senate Republicans are considering voting for the bill.

“That’s my intention,” said retiring Sen. Bob Bennett (R-Utah) when asked if he would support the package.

Bennett said earmarks in the bill might give some of his GOP colleagues reason to hesitate but wouldn’t affect his vote.

“It will be tough for some, but not for me,” he said.

GOP Sens. Kit Bond (Mo.), George Voinovich (Ohio) and Susan Collins (Maine) also told The Hill on Tuesday they would consider voting for the omnibus but want to review it before making a final decision.

On second thought, please do let the door hit you on the way out.

20 days left for Rinovich.

Between this asshat and McLame, we are screwed.

I will guarantee that my two RINOs, Alexander and Corker, are in that bunch.

I just listened to “Senator” Oral Hatch on Hannity. What a flaccid piece of RINO that moron is! He is selling out to the Libs because he thinks its the best we can get. He needs to resign. He is there to fight not suck...Dhimmitude at its finest...

By all means, Senator Reid - keep it in session until the next Congress is sworn in.

And we can all be happy that Senator Bennett will no longer be there come January.

Bennett, Bond and Voinovich are three GOP retiring senators. Showing true colors?

Translation: "I've got mine"
