Did anyone think one of the Senate’s most reliable RINOs, who’s up for reelection next year not just in a very blue state but in Barack Obama’s home state, and who supported the Schumer/Rubio Gang of Eight amnesty bill, was going to go to the mat to block Obama’s pick for AG to protest executive amnesty?
Conservative Republicans won’t stick up for religious liberty even in red states for fear of being called bigots. The odds of a moderate Republican opposing the first black woman Attorney General of the United States in a Democratic stronghold were precisely zero.
“I am confident from my conversation with Loretta Lynch that she will be a valuable partner in confronting the gang violence that is robbing families of their children every day in Chicago,” Kirk, a senator from Illinois, said in a statement.
All 44 Senate Democrats and two independents are expected to vote for Lynch, who would be the first African-American woman to head the Justice Department…
Prior to Thursday, four Republicans indicated they would vote for Lynch’s nomination, and with Kirk, there potentially would be a majority in the Senate to confirm her.
Kirk has an excuse: A no vote here could hurt him next year in his Senate race in Illinois. What’s the excuse for Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham, and Orrin Hatch, all three of whom come from red states and none of whom is up in 2016? (Susan Collins is the other Republican supporting Lynch.) I realize that Graham and Flake are amnesty shills, but even they should be capable of rebuking Obama for seizing Congress’s power over immigration for himself.

Bub-bye GOP.
I guess for this confirmation, Kirk was the designated RINO vote to approve the nominee. McConnell passes around this responsibility to whoever is most able to do it.
Whenever you need to stand united and firm, you can always find a RINO vote to help out your brother democrat.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother to vote.
Like it could have ended any other way.
WE ARE SCREWED AS A COUNTRY!!
I’m locked and loaded and very mobile....lets get this shit rolling now not until 2016 when it will be over!
Ready to go under the radar and been working on it for over a year and a half.
My mac is hard to detect the way it is set up but in a few weeks I will have to use it for movies if even that! Have a good one and I hope you all get your STG and take these pricks down!
Swine.
None one is listening.
Amen.
I’m so glad we voted last Nov or the Obama agenda would be going full speed ahead eh? :)
A blow up doll would be better than Eric Holder. As long as Lynch isn’t confirmed, Eric Holder remains the Attorney General even though he resigned last September.
At least Lynch has prosecuted some big time criminals and she had a brother who was a decorated Navy Seal who led an underwater demolitions unit and died in 2009 of complications from diabetes.
Maybe Democratic Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey will vote against her confirmation and throw a big finger at the Obama/Holder administration who are persecuting him.
Do it Bob, do it!
The Managerial State:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managerial_state
Paul Gottfried, in After Liberalism, defines this worldview as a "series of social programs informed by a vague egalitarian spirit, and it maintains its power by pointing its finger accusingly at antiliberals." He calls it a new theocratic religion. In this view, when the managerial regime cannot get democratic support for its policies, it resorts to sanctimony and social engineering, via programs, court decisions and regulations...
aka "The Permanent Bipartisan Fusion Party"
You are toast, Kirk.
Embrace the Suck, GOPe.
He is doing this because he thinks it will help him get re-elected. He is toast no matter what he does....he just doesn’t know yet whether he is “lightly” or “darkly” toasted.
I guess that stroke knocked out any sense he had left. Multi infarct dementia is setting in for Kirk.
It is no revelation but it is a disgusting that this prick,and all like him, have weighed in the balance....what is best for himself, and what is best for the country, ..... and he finds himself more important than what is best for this country. God, country, family has no meaning for these kinds of pricks. It is self. Only self. So, the self-imposed delusion is that he is more important than what is best for the country. They are all like this, I think , but it is the people and the constitution which will be savaged, as he goes to the Georgetown parties and dines on fine wine and rock crab claws and boiled shrimp, none of which he payed a dime to purchase from the sweat of his brow. He elbowed his way into the club, and he ain’t giving it up without selling his soul. In his mind, that is a small price to pay. The constitution is lost. The country is lost. Ourl children’s future is lost. Deny yourself for the sake of the country. The Bastille is coming into view, i fear.
