These Republicans should be chased out of Office
 
The six "moderate" or Alleged Republicans voted to repeal the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy: Senators Scott Brown of Massachusetts, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, Mark Kirk of Illinois, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and George Voinovich of Ohio.

I knew Brown would be trouble, when he was praising Ted Kennedy in his victory speech it set off alarm bells, he is supposed to be a Republican but votes with Dems most of the time.I can understand bucking the party once in a while but seems Brown along with Collins and Snowe should go ahead and just put a D behind their name.:damn:

So everyone should jsut follow the party line without resorting to their personal opinion on subjects when voting for bills?
Oh sweet freedom to conform.

Bort 12-19-10 01:27 AM

I rather enjoy the ability that our senators have to step across the line and think for themselves or vote for what they believe is right. Freedom and all that.

Yay Voinovich!

So is this the repeal of the bill that was found by two courts to be unconstitutional.
Its funny how you shout in support of the constitution one minute and reject it the next bubble.
Now would these be the Republicans who said they would wait for the US military to finish its report on gays in the services before deciding which way to vote?
Damn them ignorant politicians how dare they wait for reports on issues instead of just voting blindly.

If a gay person wants to go fight in battle more power to him. Anyone that joins today knows that's a high possibility. I highly doubt you're gonna see much change, if any. If these politicians are against gays serving I have no problem with them sending their kids to war instead of Ivy League colleges.

Actually, several months ago, you were singing his praises and calling his election the greatest victory for your beloved Team R. Now you brand him an accursed 'RINO' because he voted for the repeal of a policy that never worked in the first place. I wonder how quickly your zeal for the new Weeper of the House and his band of merry men will diminish, as you begin to see how little they have learned from their time in the woods. Will you continue to blindly click the 'all R' option in the voting booth? Will you continue to see the political landscape as a game of cowboys and indians, with the 'good guys' and the 'bad guys'? Or, in a reference that will make some of our sci-fi guys happy, are you starting to take your first step into a much larger world?

B-b-b-but Tak, this time it's different!™

You can't reason with partisan hacks. It's like trying to convince a Dallas Cowboys fan to look objectively at the Redskins.

Yeah I know what you mean. I fail at trying to reason with you all the time.

I think the difference between our debates is that most of the time they're based on logic, reason and facts and not hysterical rantings, regurgitated Fox News talking points and a cowboys and indians view of politics.

But then again, it could be why I fail to reach you all the time too. :O:
