Among the senators who voted against the debt ceiling bill, 19 are Republicans, six are Democrats, and one is an Independent:
Ayotte (R-NH),
Chambliss (R-GA),
Coats (R-IN),
Coburn (R-OK),
DeMint (R-SC),
Gillibrand (D-NY),
Graham (R-SC),
Grassley (R-IA),
Harkin (D-IA),
Hatch (R-UT),
Heller (R-NV),
Inhofe (R-OK),
Johnson (R-WI),
Lautenberg (D-NJ),
Lee (R-UT),
Menendez (D-NJ),
Merkley (D-OR),
Moran (R-KS),
Nelson (D-NE),
Paul (R-KY),
Rubio (R-FL),
Sanders (I-VT),
Sessions (R-AL),
Shelby (R-AL),
Toomey (R-PA),
Vitter (R-LA).
President Obama, who had until midnight to sign the debt ceiling bill, put his signature to the legislation within two hours of its passage.
Now, Congress has two weeks to choose members of the special joint committee tasked with suggesting how $1.2 trillion can be trimmed from the nation's budget in the next 10 years.
Those suggestions will also be up for a future vote in the House and Senate.
Most states in the Union ought to vote like SC does.
Those of us who live in Commie-fornia knew before the vote was taken how our Senator’s voted...
Rino scum.
Thanks SeekAndFind.
I wonder how many of these scumbags will end up on the Joint Committee:
Gillibrand (D-NY)
Harkin (D-IA),
Lautenberg (D-NJ),
Menendez (D-NJ),
Merkley (D-OR),
Sanders (I-VT),
First time I’ve ever seen both my Senators vote the same way on a major issue - Grassley out of fiscal sanity and Harkin out of rabid socialist hatred
A curious vote for my Georgia RINO pair. Chambliss, most recently re-elected votes NO, and Isakson, next up for re-election votes YES!.....I’m still gonna vote against BOTH!
Whoa! Graham (R-SC), voted AGAINST it?
McCain’s memo regarding how to vote didn’t get to Lindsey obviously.
I noticed that too, I’m with you they both need primary challengers and they both need to LOSE.
Iowa is hard to figure out.
I never understood how such a Conservative Dem state could keep this lying SOB and @ss kisser in office for sucha long, long time.
Now, Congress has two weeks to choose members of the special joint committee tasked with suggesting how $1.2 trillion can be trimmed from the nation’s budget in the next 10 years.
Why bother. 1.2 trillion over 10 years. That is nothing, but a slap in the face to the American people, who do give a damn.
Thank you to those Rs who voted against this legislation and against the Rockefellerites who place such value in going along and getting along regardless of the importance of the issue.
Cornyn (R-TX)
Hutchison (R-TX)
S!@#$@#$@!+$%&#!
cochran isn’t running again but wicker will and we must primary his sorry ass. He votes like ted kennedy and talks like Ronald Reagan.
LLS
I love ya, but I’m sick of posts like this listing how people voted. Simply put, there are only 40-50 true conservatives, tea partiers who should NOT BE IN JAIL...the others are trash, wastes of our money...can you even fathom that money is taken from us and pays their salaries and their lavish retirements...then they’ll sell us out as foreign lobbyists. Just pray, vote them out. Those are the only choices we have...the prayer is for stopping the cheating and for God’s intervention when all is seemingly impossible. Remember, this government takes our money and funds abortions and other filth...making God shed tears no less.
Sorry America.. once again the embarrassment known as the WebbWarner twins from VA meekly and predictably voted to serve the dear leader.
I don't know what's up with this latest odd vote, but I ain't buying. I know I gave Chambliss Holy Hell in my last email to him a couple of weeks ago...I guess he got a bunch more like that.
Isakson is a former real-estate agent I think and there hasn't been an office in Georgia he won't run for I think.
Two total weasels of the first order Rinocracy (I just stole that from 'Mo' on another thread - me likee!)
No way......you need a mirror to see if Lautenberg is breathing
As far as we know he might already be dead and Reid didn't want to let the cat out of the bag until the vote
Did the Senate tweak the bill?
