Oh man I hope Obama appoints John Cornyn to something.
Then fire him after a Dem takes his seat. the MSM will ignore it.
The is McHugh and McSeries.
So another RINO bits the dust.
And another Democrat will be appointed until an election can be held...And then Obama will admonish anyone who wants to run against the “chosen one”
In 2008, Rep. McHugh got 65% of the vote, so his replacement will probably be a Republican.
“He’s a leading expert on Armed services that members on both sides of the aisle respect. ... On any major issue on armed services, I wanted to hear John McHugh’s opinion.”
In other words, he’s a RINO...
“Sen. Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said he would “work to ensure a swift and smooth confirmation for my good friend.”

Replacements are not appointed to vacant congressional seats per Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution. A special election will have to be held.
Has this guy served?
Wouldn’t that be great. He can take Hutchinson too.
These pubbies are sickening...nothing but a bunch of sell-outs!!
From the article...
"McHugh, who has never served in the military, replaces Army Secretary Pete Geren..."
He’s picking off liberal RINOs.
His hometown is Watertown, NY, where Fort Drum is the base for the Army’s 10th Mountain Division. The north country district he represents is usually pretty conservative. I worked with a lot of guys who were from those areas. They’re hunters, snowmobilers, hockey fans, etc. These guys liked their beer, and were tough. One of the toughest run maximum State prisons in the north is Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora. At least it still was when I retired in 2003. We’d get guys from Clinton who had been promoted to Sergeant or above. The affectionate name we had for them in the prison system was “Frozen Brains.” They liked to scrap, and didn’t take any crap from the convicts.
Obama's court pick, Sotomayor, keeps gun stocks soaring
Alaska Gov. Palin to be honored at New York gala (Palin Ping - No.17 - June 2, 2009)
Scrambled Ethics ( "Embryonic-stem-cell research exploits egg donors, too." )
Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
Let them all go. We will find our own people to represent us and it sure won’t be these pantywaist.
