Bipartisanship and the Senate Republicans

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Why is Sherrod Brown trying to copy Bunning?

OMG, TED KENNEDY IS THE ULTRA BUNNING

I'm actually surprised Snowe voted for T.A.R.P. extension because she appeared to be very critical of it.  
Good question about Brown.

No, it's not chronological.  5 took place before 4.

In the last session, Brown only missed 1.5% of votes

Funny how McCain missed like 50% more than the guy who had a stroke despite having a shorter primary

[justfollowingtheelections]

The Senators that never missed a vote: Barrasso, Collins, Feingold, Grassley, Kohl, Salazar, Snowe. 

Maine and Wisconsin should be proud of their senators.  McCain on the other hand is a disgrace.

I can't imagine DeMint being happy knowing that the only guy who has voted like him is David freakin' Vitter.

and lol @ Bunning.  What exactly is this guy getting paid for?

This is a list of things to do found on Jim Bunning's desk...


1.    Help Bob Byrd find his teeth
2.    Watch Matlock
3.    Help Frank Lautenburg find his teeth
4.    Yell at young interns to "get the hell off the peoples' lawn"

All in all, if Bunning sticks to his list...he'll probably have done more for the good of America than most of these knuckleheads.

Sorry.  I am in an ultra-crabby mood about ALL politicians...including Democrats.

Nate has a bigger table now.



Collins must stop being such a conservative hack.

Please God, let Cooper run so we can get Burr out of there.

Whats the deal with Hatch and Murkowski?  Especially Murkowski.  I wouldn't expect them to be so close to the top.

I speculated on Murkowski on the Holder thread on this board but Hatch is a bit more perplexin'.

I'm completely talking out of my ass, but it's possible Hatch wishes to avoid being seen by the administration and Senate Leadership as generic Republican #12.  He may wish to be known as a guy whose vote can be won with compromise -- and being from Utah he needs to vote with the Democrats a little just to demonstrate he could be a future go-to guy?

It'd increase his influence more and separate himself from being vote like Inhofe where you know he'll vote against you no matter what.
