These are the Republicans who voted for Elena Kagan, who was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 63-37:
Richard Lugar
Lindsey Graham
Judd Gregg
Susan Collins
Olympia Snowe
That makes 5 Senate Republicans more liberal than Democrat Ben Nelson who voted NAY.
If they had voted conservative, she would have been filibustered off the bench.
Damn their eyes!! Traitors all!!
I once said that even the worst Republican was better than the best Democrat!! Man have I ever seen the light. How wrong I was. And today we have FReepers saying that about the current batch of RINOs and leftists in the GOP who are up for election. It’s no longer even a slow death. It’s becoming a sure death!! Drive the corrupt leftist bastards out of off and out of the GOP!!
Collins is retiring. Lugar may get beaten in the Indiana primary— replacements are rarely an improvement.
Lugar is getting his pink slip next week.
I hope.
And people worry we’ll lose all of Lugar’s experience if he loses. Good riddance.
