Bolton Out Of Committee; Voinovich Still a RINO
Written by Mark Harris on May 12th, 2005Bolton out of committee. But Sen. Voinovich (RINO-OH) stated that “he was the poster child for someone you don’t want in the diplomatic corps.” If Frist can’t get Bolton confirmed then they should run him out of town for having the weakest control and so little backbone, and when he finds it he does it in the wrong places (AKA the weird “faith and politics” rally).
I don’t know about you, but I think most Americans (who aren’t hardcore Dems and why would we want to appeal to them anways) will love to have an Ambassador who will knock in some heads over at the UN. Our Senators are way too wussy, you almost never hear Democratic Senators selling out their majority positions to score some popularity points, but over here on the Right it seems like selling out can’t happen fast enough. So are there any good conservatives in Ohio to primary this iditoic RINO next time around? I sure hope so.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the problem that Frist has is that the Senate Majority Leader is so much weaker than the Speaker of the House. He doesn’t give out the committee chairmanships, and what little he can do could result in the punished Senator putting a hold on legislation. (A hold, for those that don’t know, is a threat to filibuster.)
Mind you, I’m no great fan of Frist. It would seem unfair to bash him too much over being a weak leader, though. Instead, let’s criticize Bush for supporting many of the RINOs when they were challenged. (e.g. Specter, Chaffee, Isaacson, etc.)

Hmm. In pondering it over, saying “I’m no great fan of Frist” still permitted me to be a fan of Frist. Not the case. I think he’s ok, but nothing special.

Oh no doubt I am in your words no big fan of Bush for what he did in PA. Though in all fairness having worked on the Cain campaign, Bush didn’t really do anything for Isakson. Its just the realtors spend about $2m on their own and Johnny had a massive warchest we couldn’t match.

That’s a lie Mark and you know it. Bush pimped hardcore for Johnny.

When Voinovich was governor of OH, he raised taxes. He’s a big-government Republican…AKA RINO.

It’s pretty clear that they’re in cahoots with the Dems on the supreme court nominations. Bolton is merely a staging ground for the coming war.
The thing with RINOs is they can confirm 2 conservative justices without tipping the scale against Roe v. Wade. But 3. 3 is the magic numbers and if there is a third constitutionalist judge nominated expect him to have his name turned into a verb like in 1987.
