That can’t be true....FReepers have been telling me for 22 months that if we just call, fax, write, rally, etc., we will prevail.

Left is getting as much of their legislation passed as they can before the New Congress convenes in 2011.

Hopefully, their last hurrah.

Amazing how much damage these weasels can do in a short amount of time. I’m all for starting a movement to make it illegal for them to be in session from the moment voting starts until the new Congress takes office. What would that take? Would it have to be a Constitutional Amendment? Make the whole Lame Duck thing illegal, because they answer to no one.

The “public servants” don’t pay much attention to Americans anymore. They’ve ALL got their own agenda and America is their target.

Makes me scared to think what Obama will do once he's a lame duck!

The bribes to the 13 must have been significant.

Here are the sippiest (R)s in the US Senate.

The 11 Republican senators who voted in favor of moving ahead with the treaty Tuesday were Richard G. Lugar (Ind.), Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Robert F. Bennett (Utah), Scott Brown (Mass.), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Maine), Bob Corker (Tenn.), Johnny Isakson (Ga.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Olympia J. Snowe (Maine) and George V. Voinovich (Ohio).

All also voted in favor of ratification Wednesday, as did Gregg. In addition, Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) voted for the treaty, pushing the total yes votes to 71.

These people have no regard for American Safety and are typical “go-along-to get-along” republicans and should be voted out of office as soon as possible.

I’m so disgusted with the Republican Senate I can’t hardly stand it any longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We still do not have the report on the negotiations leading up to the treaty. That's more Obama transparency.

"We know when we've been beaten," Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch told reporters hours before Tuesday's vote.

This AH is too STUPID to be in a position of any kind of power.

Every RINO that voted for this and DADT repeal must be fired in 2012

Maybe we’ll just have to wait around for it to be “wikileaked.”

This is why Mookowskis “big win” in Alaska is so important. The public servants found out that they don’t have to listen to Americans and can still be reelected.

I wonder if these idiots know that Russia just started deploying the TOPOL-M SS-19 Road Mobile Missile System with MIRVed capability? No wonder Russia signed. They got their latest hardware out just in time.
