Jan 3 (Reuters) - With a close Minnesota race still undecided, Democrats will hold no more than 59 seats in the new 100-member U.S. Senate that convenes on Jan. 6.

That means Democrats will need the help of at least a few Republicans to hit the 60 votes required to clear procedural roadblocks known as filibusters.

The list of RINO turncoats:

1. John McCain (AZ)
2. Susan Collins (ME)
3. Olympia Snowe (ME)
4. Arlen Specter (PA)
5. George Voinovich (OH)

[Old Sarge]

Which means they have 64 votes. Sounds like a supermajority to me. And only three votes away from the 2/3 necessary to do so much more permanent damage.

Can I stop defending them now?

We're taking nominations for the RINO Hall of Shame...

Republican Commissar’s Warning: By joining this ping list, you may be subjected to the delusional rants and ramblings of McCainiacs, of "moderate" Republicans, of pragmatic conservatives resigned to voting for the lesser of two Democrats, and of countless GOP shills who simply want to meet a new overlord.

U.S. Socialists get all the help they need from their confused/complicit/collectivist brethren republicrats, otherwise we wouldn’t be in this mess today.

[LiberConservative]

Are there any relatively sane, fiscally conservative ‘Rat senators?

[Jeff Head]

We need the firm GOP senators to stand up, and we need to convince the RINOs to sit down or face political ruin and pink slips.

MY LETTER TO MY GOP SENATORS

These RINOS will be used for cover for the Democrat socialist plans. I call em COLLABORATORS.

[angkor]

Indeed, we can absolutely count on those five to further destroy the Republic.

Doesn’t Pansy Graham belong on the list with his lover McQueeg?

[rabscuttle385]

Graham and Warner need to be on that list, too..

Well, Warner is gone, replaced by a Democrat with the same last name. Graham is still kicking, though.

Vichy Republicans

[screaminsunshine]

I think we got it. Now hopefully the rest of the conservatives can figger it out.

“We, we, we only want to help the Democrats.”

[CindyDawg]

Shouldn’t be a problem .

[capydick]

That means Democrats will need the help of at least a few Republicans to hit the 60 votes required to clear procedural roadblocks known as filibusters.

Too bad we would never see an article with the angle of:

U.S. Senate Republicans will need alot of Democratic help to overcome Socialist policies to be introduced by incoming administration.

Are there any relatively sane, fiscally conservative ‘Rat senators?

Tom Coburn, Oklahoma.

We need 100 Coburns in the Senate.

[freekitty]

It’s tough when you elected officials turn on you.

[Flycatcher]

My bad. I thought you asked for GOP senators, not 'Rat.

(But we still need 100 Coburns in the Senate.)

I USED TO attend AMWAY meetings/functions, because I had "caught the dream".
The excitement and enthusiasm is just phenominal and intoxicating.

The "yes you can" attitude is adopted by osmosis.
And a little further into the program, I am taught to follow my upline in any/every thing .. and I will be successful.

To ANY amway distributors that may be here ... I don't mean to slam you .. I pray a prosperous new year for you.

But I cannot shake the parallel of how I'm watching politics work and all the PMA I experienced about 20 years ago.

How do you swing an (assumed) opposing 'doctrine' (republicanism vs. democrats) unless someone dangles a dream greater than America as a goal?

The dream, yes I can, prosperity, financial security, power ... waayyy too many parallels.
