Dittos. All of ‘em. Clean the slate.

They are no longer a part of representative government.

The Demoncrats are especially guilty of this, but too many of the GOP refuse to strictly discipline the RINOs who break ranks (and RINOs always break ranks to support liberal causes).

Barry the Pimp looks like he’s made another “sale”.

How hard can it be given the huge TARP Visa Card the A-Hole has.

Every one of these WHORES have their price and he’s got command of our children’s Wealth with that line of credit so there is literally nothing he can not do.

Now now...don't throw the baby out with the dirty bathwater. There were NO GOP that voted for this. Nor did they want this but worked rather feverishly to do all they could to stop it. Are there RINOs that need to go. Yep! But if you did any of the Tea Parties you'll know it was GOP members and NOT a single Dem that was there hosting or promoting or supporting conservative values.

Sorry, I am pissed off too. But to shovel $h*t on the GOP because of the socialism that the SUPER majority Dems are dealing out to us from both the House and Senate is not gonna resolve the issue.

But the GOP better learn from all this.

One thing I am disappointed in are the continued earmarks on the part of every single useless idiot in Washington.

There remains the furtive hope that Senator Byrd will keel over dead. Now that the old Klansman has even forsaken his State and damned coal, once he has kicked the bucket, all that will remain is to scrub his name from the endless number of places he insisted it be inscribed.

He deserves an unmarked grave site.

IIRC, Coburn is leaving at the end of this, his second term. Self imposed term limit.

Every damned Congressman needs to be voted out in 2010. That goes for the Republicans. I’m sick of the lot of ‘em.

Some have voted well, most have not. If you won't reward a politician who votes the right way, there is no incentive for them to vote the right way, or to run for office in the first place.

Not that it probably matters now, as I believe we are screwed past saving.

That’s ignorant.

Cast the blame where it belongs.

Democrats own this.

Most have not, and the few who did apparently were useless at convincing other members of their party to hold to conservative principles. What the hell have the Republican leaders been doing all this time? The whole thing is a damned joke and either the Republican Party needs to be completely recycled anad made over in a conservative fashion, or we need a new party.

Standby for a march on DC that will make 9/12/2009 look like a small ladies sewing circle.

Let us not forget that we would not have this president nor a dem controlled congress if we didnt have a bunch of girlie men in the republican controlled senate, house and presidency. Piss off your base and you get this .

We need to find patriots to challenge certain republicans in their primaries.

To rant away that all republicans are bad just feeds into the dem mantra and we lose.

We have some repubs who have done everything in their power to stop the dems. I do not want to punish them or paint them with a broad brush.

The good guys and gals deserve our support. They have earned our support. Let’s let them know we’re here for them.

As it appears, all 40 Senate Republicans are voting AGAINST cloture on this socialist monstosity and all 60 Senate Democrats are voting FOR it. Is there a recall procedure in Nebraska for Nelson (the so-called “conservative” who is anything but one) or in Alaska for Begich, whose seat was stolen from Ted Stevens by the phony indictment and conviction?

The earmarks should tell you all you need to know. I believe we can count Republicans worth saving on the fingers of one hand.

Thanks, you said it better than I did in my post below.

Should have read yours before I posted.

We have got to stop this slamming of our good GOP members.
