"Voting against Kerry were three Republicans — Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma and John Cornyn and Ted Cruz of Texas"

[Wisconsinlady]

:Didn’t he serve in VN? ;-)

I thought I had heard that somewhere, then again, then again, and again.

[TheRhinelander]

So glad to have his butt out of MA!

[doc1019]

And every time his name is mentioned you will probably hear it again and again.

He and Hanoi Jane ... bookends

[matginzac]

So Rubio, any southern senator and western senators voted for the traitor?
Bye, bye Pubbie Party....

[GilesB]

Every GOP senator besides those three should be targeted by the tea party and primaried.

[RginTN]

I don’t understand how Corker and Alexander continue to win here in TN. We defeated a state income tax and these RINO’s represent us??? Its time to primary them.

[TigersEye]

Making a traitor Sec State is a lot like treason.

Rubio is a degenerate twerp busy body lying lawyer who never held a real job in his life.

Actually heard him say "undocumented worker" on the 10 minutes of the 3 hour Limbaugh show that isn't a collection of continuous commercials for ridiculous products and services nobody with half a brain would purchase.

FUMR.

Rubio’s vote along with the other Republicans makes every difference in the world. The Republican Party effectively committed suicide today with its aiding and abetting the appointment of a traitor to the office of the Secretary of State. This vote followed so many other key votes like the failure to defund Obamacare in the House of Representatives, failure to vacate the court order permitting Democrat vote fraud and theft of elections, copying of the NAZI Weapons Acts that lead to the worst genocides in human history, and so much more. The appointment of a traitor amounts to Ceasar’s illegal crossing of the Rubicon River and establishment of the Roman Empire with the overthrow of the Roman Republic. Rubio could have voted in support of the Constitution as did Senator Inhofe. Rubio failed the test miserably.

Yes, indeed.

[hoosierham]

Those FBI files Mr. Livingston secured for the Clintons are still paying dividends!

Of course if the Republican elite wasn’t guilty of something they could not be blackmailed!
One thing they can not be accused of is ridgidly holding to principles or having a backbone.

That ANY Republican voted for this wimp shows the national party has surrendered to the socialists.

We in the trenches have been betrayed.

[Catsrus]

Be that as it may - it just doesn’t seem to matter any more, does it? This country has gone to he** in a handbasket with the 2008 election and we continue on that slippery slope. Who is going to stop it? The Republicans? The electorate? The Supreme Court?

So, I guess we’ll nitpick everyone who decides to run in the 2016 election - like vultures on a carcass, until we end up with another commie in the office of president.

[WhiskeyX]

It has taken the Marxists-socialists-Communists-Progressives-oxymorons a couple of centuries or longer to seize their current limited control and influence, so no one has any good reason to think this problem has a quick and easy fix. Nonetheless, true conservatives have it within their power to halt and severely rollback much of those encroachments upon the constitutional republic by returning to the basics of local and even personal government by the basics of parliamentary law. The 2nd, 1st, and 9th Amendments to the Constitution are good starting points. To do so, however, is for conservatives to agree to disagree on a broad array of political and social issues long enough to resolutely and irresistably reassert the few Constitutional civil rights fundamental to the survival of the Constitutional Republic and removal from power those who would subvert and extinguish the Constitution and rule of law.

The Republican Party has had decades to get its act together, and it has failed miserably and spectacularly. Although it may be salvageable someday, the days upon which it surrendered vo massive vote fraud and confirmed traitors and subversives to the state and Federal offices with impunity, the Republican Party effectively served as a sham or even captive party in furtherence of the Democrat-Marxist-socialist-communist-Progressive agenda.

To rollback the political and social assault will require the people of each precinct, coummnity, and county to start meeting with each other to inform themselves about the threats they face and determine what precinct, community, and county officials and organizations must be removed from authority to restore constitutional rule of law. This means reformation of local Republican Party precinct and county organizations and/or their replacemeent by a new third party organizations in collaboration on the Constitutional issues.

This means the removal of Sheriffs who fail to honor their oaths to protect and defeend the Constitution, 2nd Amendment, 9th Amendment, and 1st Amendment, among others. This means bringing about the impeachment and removal of non-compliant judiciary. U.S. Citizens possess lawful powers they don’t even realize exist for their benefit. It is long past time for them to rapidly learn and help each other to effectively exercise those powers effectively and safely.

Goodness gracious didn’t you know he also served in Cambodia..least that what he said....and why I call him “The Cambodian Kid” which sez it all about this creep.

[Arm_Bears]

So I guess Marco Rubio, FL RINO and Rush’s new darling, voted to confirm?

[Baynative]

"I guess it doesn’t matter if Rubio voted for Kerry’s nomination.."

Knowing that the beltway club members would support him validates that to some extent. But, I would expect Rubio to stand up for the country and especially those of us who've served. John Kerry is a deceitful traitor through and through. He should be tried, not honored. Marco Rubio would do himself good to learn a little about contemporary American history. Apparently, he'd vote to make Bill Ayers Secretary of Education because John McCain said so. I had a lot of faith in him, but it's slipping.

[a fool in paradise]

[I Drive Too Fast]

I wonder how many SINators that voted to confirm the traitor have served in the military. Well I guess “What difference does it make?” is a popular slogan in the senate.

[vetvetdoug]

Help!! I know Kerry “signed” his SF-180 but did he ever submit it and release ALL of his military records? “The devil is in the details.” In 2005 Kerry claimed he signed the SF-180 in 2005 but by the middle of 2006 his military records still were not released. Did the Senate confirm a “traitor” given amnesty as a political perk by President Carter? Why haven’t any of our Senators brought this issue up?
