I can't believe some Republicans went along with Sunstein's confirmation!

Bob Bennett (R-UT) Susan Collins (R-ME) Orrin Hatch (R-UT) Dick Lugar (R-IN) Olympia Snowe (R-ME) George Voinovich (R-OH)

Well, I guess we can exepct RINO sellouts Snowe & Collins....

And I heard the GOP has been promoting Bennett's re-election????

Time to make sure the RNC understands our money will not be coming to them while they keep promoting the likes of these bird brains.

There are the targets - OUT!

This guys Sunstein is dangerous as he's quite smart and will take our country down a socialist/communist path incrementally. Kind of like boiling a frog. His wife is bad too - Samantha Power.

Money needs to be targeted to specific candidates - not the RNC.

I called Voinovich's Washington office. The woman said,"The Senator felt Mr Sunstein was well qualified, and that the position had been vacant for too long."

Vacant for too long? The position never existed until eight months ago.

As an Ohioan, I can sum it up as far as Voinovich's vote: Guns. Voinovich has a proven track record of hating guns and gun owners. Ol' Cass probably gave him a leg tingle when he wrote that guns can be controlled unconditionally.

Can we now finally put to rest the notion that Orrin Hatch is conservative? People still claim he is.

Well, in defense of Voinovich, I think he flips a coin to vote rather than admit he doesn't ever know what he's voting on.

Most interesting 'no" was Independent-Commie Bernie Sanders.
