We are former senators. The Senate has long stood in defense of democracy — and must again.

"During our service in the Senate, at times we were allies and at other times opponents, but never enemies. We all took an oath swearing allegiance to the Constitution. Whatever united or divided us, we did not veer from our unwavering and shared commitment to placing our country, democracy and national interest above all else."

Never enemies??? Perhaps these morons missed the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings? There is a reason they are "former" senators!

BTW no one gives a damn what the opinion of a HAS BEEN is.

Almost all of them are RATs with a few worthless RINO’s thrown in for good measure.

44 Senators, 32 rats, 2 “Independents”, Joe Lieberman and the guy he beat in 1988, Ex-RINO Lowell Weicker who was so damn near 100% liberal (the last of the ARCH-Rino communists) that many conservatives backed Lieberman. And 10 so called Republicans whom I will list

Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colo.), Ex-Democrat, only switched to GOP cause the far-left in Colorado had it in for him or something

William Cohen (R-Maine), RINO, served Bill Clinton as Secretary of Defense, endorsed Hillary in 2016, was a rumored Dem VP choice

Al D’Amato (R-N.Y.), NY Establisment Maven, Kasich backer, one of the few (only?) on this list that can actually claim to be a Republican in decent standing

John C. Danforth (R-Mo.), Huge RINO douche, pro-life but otherwise garbage, was W Bush’s VP running up in 2000, part of the religious left he called on the Supreme to legalize fag “marriage”, yuck

David Durenberger (R-Minn.), NOT actually a Republican anymore, left the party during the W Bush years, endorsed Hillary in 2016

Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) RINO idiot who served Obama as Sec Def/scapegoat, his back is still bleeding from the knife Obama stuck in there yet still the guy is a lib.

Richard Lugar (R-nd.), RINO pig, lost GOP primary then gave covert support to the democrat nominee

Larry Pressler (R-S.D.), ex-RINO Nutcase, also explicitly LEFT THE PARTY running for the Senate again as an “I”. He endorsed Obama and gay marriage, swamp creature extraordinaire.

Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.), RINO Old Bull, Abortion-lover, Tax-cut opposer, McCain-Feingold booster, Bush 41 eulogizer.

John W. Warner (R-Va.), Democrat in everything but name pig, gun-grabber, No vote on Bob Bork, No vote on one of the 2 Clinton impeachment counts, gang of 14, Cap N’trade fan, endorsed Hillary and VA Democrats, he’s a Republican like Liawhatha is an Indian.

The first clue is the word "democracy"

Only a PROGRESSIVE RINO
would worry about democracy.

Real Republicans worry about
Freedom, individual Liberty & our Republic

Let’s see; these are former senators so that means they ain’t worth crap.

Food was once good for you but once you ate it and passed it as crap, well, it’s crap. It’s former food.

Think of these senators as former food but now they are just crap.

There is nothing lower than a life long politician. They have no idea how little respect real people have for them and almost no one even knows who they are. They are the ones that got us into this mess by not enforcing our border laws for years on end.

This is designed to lead current Republican senators to support impeachment when it comes about.

WHO?

Is there anything more boring than an EX-Senator?

They think they mattered. They didn’t. I bet you less than 5% of young adults under 30 would even know who they are.
