These Republicans should be chased out of Office

[Bubblehead1980]

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.

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]

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.

The Supreme Court is the only court that really matters in the end and should have ruled on this before it was enacted, but this activist, dangerous Reid/Pelosi congress just had to put it to a vote.The Federal Judge who ruled this unconstitutional is not exactly fair.Judge Virginia Phillips is was appointed by Clinton, so she is a Liberal who sees the constitution in an entirely incorrect manner.You can't exactly expect someone who attends Berkeley to come out being objective lol

I am in law school currently and we discussed her ruling in full.I believe she said it violated 1st and 5th Amendments.Perhaps in her twisted Leftist view.I mean according to Lefties, healthcare mandate does not violate the Constitution LOL.Want to talk about partisan hacks? She is one.This vote was more of a damned the military and how it affects the MAJORITY heterosexuals when all the homosexuals had to do was not tell because they would not be asked.So simple, but the gay lobby and libs have to make a big issue out of everything.Sure this locks up the gay vote for Obama and their friends, family etc.

For the record, I have no problem with the gay people, more power to them for serving in the military.However the policy was the correct one and does not violate the constitution.I may eleaborate on it further when I have time but once more, it does not violate the consitution.

Now as far as Scott Brown goes.Takeda, I was intitially happy that a Republican took the seat Ted Kennedy held for many years, esp since it took away the Dems filibuster proof majority and Coakley seemed like a real moron.However, I was alarmed and believe I may have said so in one of the posts I made at time that his praise of Ted Kennedy alarmed me.Brown did keep his promise to vote against healthcare but seen him side with the Dems too many times.Shows he is no conservative or Republican, but an Alleged Republican.Snowe, Collins etc are usual suspects and need to go.I mentioned that I understand crossing over now and then.I happen to agree with Dems on a few things and would vote with them but not nearly as much as Brown because I have true Republican and Conservative principles and I adhere to them.


The new Congress has yet to be seated but will be soon and I still believe it may be different.I could be wrong and if I am, well then I will be wrong.However, I believe the new Congress, esp the house with people like Rand Paul etc will surprise everyone.We shall see...

Why not just change all the R's and D's to C's.

[antikristuseke]

Yeah, calling them all c**** should make things less confusing.

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.
