RINOs on Parade: 11 GOP Senators Allow Planned Parenthood Director to Become Federal Judge…

The usual suspects.

(CNS News) — Senate Democrats were able to confirm the former director of Planned Parenthood of Rhode Island to a lifetime federal judgeship after 11 Republicans voted to close debate on the nomination and allow it to come up for a final vote.

As a lawyer, the new judge was also involved in litigation against the tobacco industry and a failed lawsuit against former manufacturers of lead paint.

The cloture vote on the nomination of John J. “Jack” McConnell was 63 to 33 with 1 senator voting present and 2 senators not voting at all. Had 4 of the 11 Republicans who voted for cloture not done so, the nomination would have failed. A cloture vote requires 60 votes to succeed.

All 11 Republicans who voted for cloture — and thus to allow McConnell’s nomination to proceed — turned around and voted against the nomination itself on the final vote. That vote succeeded 50 to 44 and McConnell was confirmed.

The 11 Republican senators who voted for cloture and thus to permit McConnell to become a lifetime federal judge were: Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Scott Brown of Massachusetts, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson of Georgia, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Mark Kirk of Illinois, John McCain of Arizona, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and John Thune of South Dakota.

    I’ve been furious this past week with all of this, still am now, problem is no one pays attention to this..many don’t have a clue to how sausage is made and who votes for what…hence, we get what we deserve.

    Pure laziness by the american people for the most part…just my opinion, and I’m sticking to it.

    I am ashamed that two of these morons are from the state of georgia..
    Chambliss and Isakson have been sliding down hill for the last several
    years and seems to be no bottom to stop these two rhino’s….

    The only have competition from rubber stamp democrats and if we can
    ever get a true conservative Republican to run against them, they will be
    history…I do believe we will see these morons bit the dust the next time
    they come up for election, there is just to many people from our good
    state who feels their time has passed….
    Chambliss is no better than the Maine twins and Isakson is running a
    close second, passing the time and feeding off the taxpayers…..

    I just sent this to Olly and told her that this is one of the many reasons that we are running someone against her. I also mentioned that I truly can’t wait to help the new candidate, in ANY WAY I CAN!!!

    *Man, I can’t wait to sell my house and get out of Maine for good. Lord, to have Snowe/Collins in the Senate and Pingree/Michaud in the House, is looking up, from under the barrel.

    We have to sharpen our plows and pruning hooks …. we have a lot of dead wood to cut in Congress.

    We need to ride herd on these animals. When they leave Congress, we need to hound them out of our environment.

    Pray that God will have mercy on McConnell’s soul, and pray he will have a heart attack.

    As we all know, in Alaska Murkowski lost the primary, but the (many) rino republicans (as well as unions and native organizations) worked with the democrats to elect Murkowski in the general. What a waste…

    13 RINO’S.. They left out Lindsey; I guess he wasn’t back yet from the men’s room dreaming about the GOP presidential all male debate panel.
    And yes I grossed myself out too just now.

    On a lighter front our enemies have been identified of us these past two and a half years there is not excuse not to vote these people out of office when their terms are up again. Unfortunately McCain and some of the others have 6 years left on their terms but we can get Brown, Snowe and a few others hopefully stacking on odds in our favor in the Senate come 2012.

    These jerks need to be disciplined by their fellow Republicans. Kick them
    out of the caucus, or support a recall. Collectively, they are the biggest threat to any change within the party.Mr. Boehner, where is your leadership?

    When a politician is unethical, he violates the will of the people who are grounded in our founding principles found in The Declaration of Independence. Anyone who repudiates the founding Principles of the Declaration of Independence, repudiates all citizens’ unalienable rights and therefore, he repudiates his own unalienable rights, that is, his own citizenship. An unethical politician cannot represent his constituents if he does his own will, but not his constitutents’ will. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowwed by our Creator with unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The judge from Planned Parenthood cannot be made a real judge because abortion violates our founding principles, and the man is too ignorant to read the Declaration of Independence for himself. Now, Let us be rid of him and all abortionists and atheists as they have tyrannized us long overdue.They lower the age of sexual consent to remove any statutory rape laws for girls to young to vote, to young to drive a car, but not to young to prostitute themselves with condoms that do not protect them from HIV aids, a death sentence, with absolutely no protection from the state or government that promotes abortion and prostitution. We must formulate a government in absentia since the real government of America is NO MORE.

  26. Mary De Voe says:

    Human existence is the criterion for the objective ordering of human rights. Government does not give life or human existence. The Declaration of Independence, our founding principles, upon which our Constitution was drawn twelve years later, acknowledges ”our Creator “ with creating all men equal and endowing man with unalienable human rights and among these rights are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Anyone who denies our founding principles denies all men human rights and disavows his own sovereign personhood and his own citizenship. While still a person, but a person who refuses to acknowledge the sovereign personhood endowed by “our Creator” at the beginning of his existence, and a non-citizen by choice, this individual has no legal standing in a court of law to be sworn in as a public servant for the common good at the will of the people. Representatives in Washington, who choose such an individual, choose to deny our founding principles and deny to all men Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, are no longer American citizens, and have the same legal standing in a court of law as a capital one murderer. Criminals have no civil rights to become public servants, especially those individuals who would deny sovereign personhood and civil rights to all men. Government does not give life or human existence. Government cannot take life or human existence. The human being comes into existence at the will of God, “our Creator” The Declaration of Independence.

    You think Lamar Alexander is some kind of lefty friend to Planned Parenthood? They rate him a zero on their scorecard: http://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/elections-politics/2010-elections-map.htm#/tennessee/uss1615

    It’s just a judgeship. Get over it, idiots.
