I have confidence in my source of data. Could not find the actual Roll Call Vote on the Senate site, but Gov. Track is very reliable.

senators are brain dead idiots!!!

We shouldn[t be giving aid to anyone,

We should be demanding repayment for all aid given in the past to all countries.

Yep. We know the 10 Senators who are willing to risk power to do what's right.

Shame on Ultra-RINO's Cornball and Hutchison of Texas.

That's why I now pretty much exclusively use the term CINO, because they are republicans, but are Conservative In Name Only. (i.e., when they run for re-election.)

You are correct. You should have seen KBH “trying” to “talk” conservative at the TX GOP Convention in Ft. Worth. She was not booed but saw lots of head shakes and she got very litle applause.

She is dumb pure RINO.

I pretty much have given up on the GOP as a party of any kind of American leadership

Time for a new Conservative Party. We should be laying the groundwork now.

What’s with all the cowardly “no votes”?

Wow! Glad to see Alabama’s Richard Shelby voted to cut aid. Usually he’s a RINO. But then I see Jeff Sessions vote Nay. Makes no sense...

UNLESS...

Knowing that Shelby will have an election in 2016, this may be to give him cover for that time in a very Christian conservative state.

But Sessions is up first in 2014.

I don’t know what to think. I suppose the various senators knew the vote would fail, so all the Yea votes were just so much political posturing.

I think there are some otherwise conservative members who voted as they did because Paul sponsored it. There was similar bill sponsored by Ishtook in OK.

I am not saying that I totally understand this. Only stating this is what the roll call vote was. It was rather hard to find the roll call vote. Could not find it on senate.gov or thomas when I looked.
