Well, folks... here's the breakdown on today's ObamaCare vote... technically the vote on the "Motion to Invoke Cloture H.J. Resolution 59:
First... the RINO scumbags:
Lamar Alexander, Kelly Ayotte, John Barrasso, Roy Blunt, John Boozman, Richard Burr, Saxby Chambliss, Jeff Chiesa, Dan Coats, Tom Coburn, Thad Cochran, Susan Collins, Bob Corker, John Cornyn, Lindsey Graham, John Hoeven, Johnny Isakson, Mike Johanns, Ron Johnson, Mark Kirk, John McCain, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, John Thune, and Roger Wicker.
Note the title... the "rounding up to 20" insert. What that is all about is that there were two Senators not voting on the motion today - Jeff Flake and Orrin Hatch.
According to Senator Flake's official website, Flake was at his son's wedding today and thus missed the vote. However, his "note to constituents" states that had he been in Washington today he would have voted with Ted Cruz and "our" Senators against Cloture.
Jeff Flake is not a scumbag.
Which brings us to Orrin Hatch...
Nothing concrete on his official website. That tells me everything I need to know. Hatch...? Scumbag...
As to the good guys...
Mike Crapo, Ted Cruz, Mike Enzi, Deb Fischer, Chuck Grassley,
Dean Heller, James Inhofe, Mike Lee, Jerry Moran, Rand Paul, Rob Portman, James
Risch, Pat Roberts, Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, Jeff Sessions, Richard Shelby, Pat Toomey,
and Davud Vitter.
Full Tally... out of the 44 "Republicans" who serve in the U.S. Senate, at least 26 may as well be Democrats.
As to the 19 "good guys"... I sincerely thank each and every one of them, however, I can't tell you - my readers - that you'll always be proud of all these 19. (Just think Rubio and immigration...)
Anyway... I hope that each of you reading this post call up your Republican Senator on Monday (if you haven't called already) to either thank or slam that Senator depending upon his or her vote.
