   Thank you Michelle! Your next task: give us a list of people willing to oppose these collectivist Republican traitors in the primaries. With links to their websites so we can make donations.

    They couldn’t actually stop it without a filibuster, and I’m not sure the Dems that voted Nay, which would have been enough to block a cloture vote, would have handed the Republicans this kind of victory.

    Sad that some of the RINOs like Collins and McCain voted the correct way, and people who should have known better, like my senator, Cornyn, didn’t.

    It all p*sses me off to no end, when a Dem Senate rejects Robert Bork for being conservative, and the fat DWI Killer slanders him as a racist who would bring back segregated lunch counters, and just a few years later the ACLU’s abortion rights chief sails easily through a Republican Senate.

    I don’t think we have time to grow a third party from the ground up, we’d be Zimbabwe by the time a new conservative party could win elections, and we’d be a police state, but we need to purge the RINOs at primary time.

    Senator Corker,

    I’ll start with a little more than just a prediction. You will not return to the Senate for a second term. I will begin the process now to unseat you. I will do all that I can over the next few years to be certain that you don’t represent Tennessee again, that’s not a threat, but it is a promise.

    You really don’t understand the people that you represent and certainly don’t know what an effort the Conservative voters went to for you to fail us miserably in the Senate.

    The voters that support your Democrat opponents will vote against you no matter what you do. Now you can be sure that we Conservatives will have another candidate when you come up for reelection.

    My two senators are Bayh and Lugar and are practically interchangeable, so I’m a bit surprised Lugar voted against.

    I’d love to get them both out of office, but I don’t remember any time they’ve ever had any real competition for their seats. They’ve been in so long, it’s like no one even bothers.

    No use in my even looking. I know my two socialist democrat Senators voted in the affirmative.

    Oklahoma has two of the best senators in the country with Mr. Jim Inhofe and Mr. Tom Coburn.

    That’s exactly waht I was thinking as I read through this thread, then came down to the end of the comments section to say so, only to find that Pauldow just beat me to it!

    Hesus Christmas, does the rest of the US ever have an Idiot Electorate!

    The Geithner confirmation is an excellent example of Dems “lowering the bar” and RINOS backing it all the way. If our Republican Senators can’t find a way to distinguish the basic differences between themselves and the Party of “it really doesn’t matter, crook or not” then our Senators have to go. We the voters must start NOW to replace the RINOS or give up our country to those that want to stay in power and rape the greatest country this world has ever seen.

    The downfall of the GOP is now complete. I don’t believe they will be able to save the party now after allowing this crook to get confirmed.

    The stupidity that gets expressed on this site sometimes…

    Newsflash: Obama won the election and the democrats have control of both the house and the senate and it is somehow the republicans fault that this guy our new Secretary of the Treasury?

    I would say that if the Republicans can somehow derail this stimulus package you will be singing a different tune, but probably not… Just continue on with Michelle Malkintents spite war on the republican party that serves the purposes of the democrats.

    Anyone that thinks that the Republicans are doing a good job in their role of vetting these outrageously flawed candidates is “stupid”!

    Which republicans are doing the “vetting”? The voters?

    So many of you, the hostess included have gotten it into your heads that the senators and congressmen are chosen in a back room at the RNC and if you just stop giving them money and support they will stop piking “RINO”s… (Which is a label that is now extending to people like Orrin Hatch!)

    It doesn’t work that way. You have to nominate, run and most importantly ELECT candidates that share your supposed values. I say supposed because often now, “conservatives” are effectively helping to elect socialists so it is hard to know who is on what side anymore.

    WHY didn’t Inhofe run for PRESIDENT last year? WHY?!?!?

    If we had more MEN like him in the Senate, imagine what would and could get done……
