Oh I think they heard us alright. They just plain out don’t give a damn.

I predict Senatewhore Brown will come out of the closet and run as a dem-o-rat.

Can someone point to the repeal language that would cause this to happen? Merely backing out DADT clauses would not suffice.

“Thats it for me - I’ll vote for the D in 2016.”

Instead, why not recruit a primary challenger and get rid of him. North Carlina used to produce the likes of John East And Jesse Helms. It can do a lot better than Burr.

Let Burr hear from you. Make him afraid to betray us next time.

These 8 took the advice to run up the white flag on social issues.

Then the democrats (with their help) shoved it right up America's back side.

Nice flag waving guys.........you're all so, so.........liked by the MSM now (for a week).

A further prediction: within 6 months, a male homo will demand a sex change at taxpayer expense, and be assigned to one of the female military units.

I am beyond disappointed in John Ensign.

I think he is up for re-election in 2012 & NOW I will be working against him. Was on the fence until now.
This cuts me loose from any support for him.

Unreal, isn’t it? I suppose now that the Congress has stuck it to the American people, we’ll be seeing more about his gayness in the “media”. Stories about how the military was punishing him/her/it only because he’s a homosexual. I already saw one commie lib article saying that his gayness was being “tortured” by the Army. Geeesh! The definition of torture sure has gone downhill. Now, if you look at somebody cross-eyed, it’s “torture”.

Burr is not just a knave for doing this. He is a political fool as well. He had zero to gain in North Carolina by doing this. Even Lindsey Graham voted against it.

I thought this guy was a conservative.

Too bad no one challenged Burr this year. We have to wait six long years to get rid of him.

The debates between Burr and Marshall were interesting in that they chose two different methods of portraying the same stance on most issues.

Same here.

What was he thinking?

Somewhere I have book written in the ‘70’s. It was called “KGB.”

It was an extremely detailed, comprehensive look into the mindset of the recruiters for that organization.

One of the first “weaknesses to be exploited” was whether or not the targeted recruit was homosexual. They went on to explain how the emotional roller coasters that the average homosexual experienced in their lives, (even those who where ‘out’)could be a valuable asset in recruitment.

This whole wiki leaks thingee only proves the point.

I’ll root through my piled up book case with 30 something years of paper, and see if I can find it. Very good reading, even today.

“I am beyond disappointed in John Ensign.”

Ensign is overripe for a primary challenge. How about Sharron Angle? or Tarkanian?

You know, with all the crazy stuff that has gone on in his personal life, one has to wonder about the possibility of blackmail.

Restoring the Republic is a work in progress. We made a great start in 2010. The work continues into 2012 and beyond.

“Another surprise of the day was Kirk, who was just elected to the Senate.”

Surprise to who? I fully expected Kirk to support repeal, regardless of what he was or was not publicly saying. Kirk is, and will continue to be, a very liberal Republican.

Sometimes a “half a loaf” candidate is the best one can hope for. But I suspect, when all is said and done, Kirk is not so much half a loaf than “that last end slice of the loaf that you really didn’t want to eat but did anyway because you didn’t have anything else to spread your peanut butter and jelly on” Republican.

Kirk is next to useless IMHO.
