Eric Holder won his nomination for Attorney General 75-21. That means that a lot of people with an (R) after their name voted for this guy, supposedly because he kinda-sorta won’t go after CIA operatives who have “harshly interrogated” terrorist prisoners. (Doing the math, it also seems that 4 Senators were MIA.)
I don’t have the names of the guilty, but as soon as I can track them down, I’ll put them up.
Edit: I should have knownDavid Codrea would find the names of the scoundrels. North Carolina split, as I expected, with Richard Burr (R) voting “no” and Kay Hagen (Leftist) voting “yes”. I miss Elizabeth Dole already.
The names of the guilty are:
- Sessions (R-AL)
- Murkowski (R-AK)
- Kyl (R-AZ)
- McCain (R-AZ) (Surprise! Back to being a “maverick” again.) (JD Hayworth, run for this seat!)
- Martinez (R-FL) (Not voting. Thanks for being there for your constituents, Mel.)
- Chambliss (R-GA) (Another Surprise! After running on the “Keep the Dems from a filibuster-proof majority” ticket. Rat Bastard.)
- Isakson (R-GA)
- Lugar (R-IN)
- Grassley (R-IA)
- Collins (R-ME)
- Snowe (R-ME)
- Bond (R-MO)
- Gregg (R-NH)
- Voinovich (R-OH)
- Specter (R-PA)
- Reed (D-RI)
- Alexander (R-TN)
- Corker (R-TN)
- Bennett (R-UT)
- Hatch (R-UT)
(Hopefully I haven’t included anyone who doesn’t deserve to be on the list or missed anyone who does. Mk. I Eyeball and all that.)
As far as I’m concerned, this is the beginning fo the list of RINOs that need to be purged from the GOP.
