As for Republican Senators re: The Boehner-McConnell Sell-Out


Here's the math: The U.S. Senate vote 76-24 to sell the American People out.

Republicans Who Voted "Nay"

Ayotte (R-NH)
Chambliss (R-GA)
Coats (R-IN)
Coburn (R-OK)
DeMint (R-SC)
Graham (R-SC)
Grassley (R-IA)
Hatch (R-UT)
Heller (R-NV)
Inhofe (R-OK)
Johnson (R-WI)
Lee (R-UT)
Moran (R-KS)
Paul (R-KY)
Rubio (R-FL)
Sessions (R-AL)
Shelby (R-AL)
Toomey (R-PA)
Vitter (R-LA)

Don't get too choked up over 19 Republican Senators voting as Republicans, however...

The sad fact is, except for Toomey, Rubio, Paul, Lee, and DeMitt, I'm betting most if not all would have switched sides and voted "yea" had McConnell actually needed their votes.

As for those Republican Senators who actually cast "yea" votes enthusiastically and publicly signaling their support for kicking the can down the road and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, if one or more of these the following men or women represent your state... you have a real problem:

Alexander (R-TN)
Barrasso (R-WY)
Blunt (R-MO)
Boozman (R-AR)
Brown (R-MA)
Burr (R-NC)
Cochran (R-MS)
Collins (R-ME)
Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)
Enzi (R-WY)
Hoeven (R-ND)
Hutchison (R-TX)
Isakson (R-GA)
Johanns (R-NE)
Kirk (R-IL)
Kyl (R-AZ)
Lugar (R-IN)
McCain (R-AZ)
McConnell (R-KY)
Murkowski (R-AK)
Portman (R-OH)
Risch (R-ID)
Roberts (R-KS)
Snowe (R-ME)
Thune (R-SD)
Wicker (R-MS)

We're in trouble, folks; America is in deep, deep trouble.
