The RINO stampede to allow Obama to name another liberal to the Supreme Court has began...

What are the voters thinking when they elect these Democrats posing as Republicans? 
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said Wednesday that he doesn't think Republican senators should filibuster President Obama's Supreme Court nominee.
“I don't think we should filibuster Supreme Court nominees or any judicial nominees," he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer Wednesday.
Under a filibuster, 60 votes would be required to clear procedural hurdles ahead of a final confirmation vote.
At the same time, Hatch, a member of the Judiciary Committee, said in the interview that he would support whatever decision made by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the panel’s chairman.
He suggested that if Grassley so chooses, he could close down a debate over who should succeed Justice Antonin Scalia, who died on Saturday.
"All it would take is for Sen. Grassley to just say, ‘Look, we're not going to confirm anybody this year. The reason we're not going to confirm is because we value the court, we don't want it to be in this political atmosphere,’” Hatch said.
Hatch’s comments add to the mixed signals sent by Republicans over their strategy for handling an Obama nominee.

RINO Republicans are going to fund Obama's international climate fund for poorer nations

Pissing away our money...

Via The Hill:
In a victory for the Obama administration, the spending package released by congressional leaders on Wednesday won’t block American financial contributions to an international climate fund for poorer nations.
The bill, greens and Democrats say, doesn’t explicitly appropriate funding for President Obama’s pledged contribution to the Green Climate Fund (GCF). But since the legislation doesn’t formally block money for the GCF either, Obama is expected to be able to use current discretionary funding streams to send American money to it.
The GFC is a pot of public and private money designed to help poorer nations prepare for climate change. Obama pledged last year to spend $3 billion on the fund by 2020, and he asked Congress to appropriate up to $500 million for it in 2016.

Senate Republicans Prove Again There Is No Change Since The Party Base Put Them In The Majority

BREAKING: Loretta Lynch confirmed as US attorney general, in 56-43 Senate vote

Here are the names of the 10 RINO's who voted to confirm Loretta Lynch as Attorney general. So, how is this different than if Harry Reid was still Majority Leader?  I guess Mitch McConnell is enjoying the bigger office as he plans to do the same things Harry Reid would. McConnell even voted to confirm Lynch.

Sens. Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Maine), Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) joined Senate Democrats in approving her nomination.
For his next betrayal, Mitch is planning on continuing funding Obamacare subsidies if SCOTUS strikes them down. 
The legislation, offered by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), one of the most politically vulnerable Senate incumbents in 2016, would maintain the federal HealthCare.gov subsidies at stake in King v. Burwell through the end of August 2017.
The bill was unveiled this week with 29 other cosponsors, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and his four top deputies, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), John Thune (R-SD), John Barrasso (R-WY) and Roy Blunt (R-MO). Another cosponsor is Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS), the chairman of the conference’s electoral arm…
Don't give any of these traitors, the Republican Party or any of their organizations or PAC's any money between now and 2017. If you think you know a candidate who isn't in a Washington insider or in the pocket of the Chamber of Commerce, fund them. Good luck.

Twenty GOP Senators voted against Point of Order questioning Constitutionality of Obama's Illegal Immigrant EO (List is here)

Here are their names. Throw them all out of office at the next available election. This is as good a list of RINO's as you can find. These so-called Republican Senators think Obama giving de facto amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants against the explicit wishes of Congress and American votes is perfectly fine.

Nay R Alexander, Lamar TN
Nay R Ayotte, Kelly NH
Nay R Barrasso, John WY
Nay R Coats, Daniel IN
Nay R Cochran, Thad MS
Nay R Collins, Susan ME
Nay R Corker, Bob TN
Nay R Cornyn, John TX
Nay R Enzi, Michael WY
Nay R Flake, Jeff AZ
Nay R Graham, Lindsey SC
Nay R Hatch, Orrin UT
Nay R Heller, Dean NV
Nay R Johnson, Ron WI
Nay R Kirk, Mark IL
Nay R McCain, John AZ
Nay R McConnell, Mitch KY
Nay R Murkowski, Lisa AK
Nay R Toomey, Pat PA
Nay R Wicker, Roger MS

Note: Don't be confused by the Bills title at the GovTrack site. This was another sleight of hand where they took a completely unrelated bill, gutted it, and replaced it with the budget resolution.The explanation is here.https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/hr83

Note: It is strange 20 Republicans voted against the attempt to call out Obama's illegal immigration EO as unconstitutional. Some have speculated they did it in a petty fit of rage because Cruz forced them to work weekends. My guess is they are just RINOs being RINOs and have no intention to seriously fight Obama over his illegal immigration EO or any other serious issue next year.

Fail: Keynote speaker at California GOP Conventions says she might vote for demo Gov. Jerry Brown...

This is why RINO's have to be run out of the Republican Party. What's the point of having a Republican Party if they are going to support Democrats and their causes?

Via The LA Times:
The state Republican Party’s fall convention opened on a sour note Friday when the night’s keynote speaker acknowledged she might vote to reelect Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown.
Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin, the star of the evening’s tribute to Republican women and a candidate for state controller, told reporters she still hadn’t made up her mind whether to vote for Brown or Neel Kashkari, his GOP opponent in the Nov. 4 election.
“I’m looking at the two candidates like other Californians are,” she said.

The changing of the RINO's

 Representative Kevin McCarthy of California will replace Eric Cantor as majority leader.
(Reuters) – House of Representatives Republicans on Thursday chose an ally of Speaker John Boehner for the No. 2 job in the chamber and, in a victory for the party’s conservative wing, elevated a Southern lawmaker to a leadership role.
Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, already the third-ranking House Republican, was chosen to replace Eric Cantor as majority leader, Republican aide Riva Litman said.
He will control the House floor and help decide the party’s legislative priorities. McCarthy previously served as party whip, drumming up votes for legislation.
Steve Scalise, a Louisiana lawmaker with backing from Southern Republicans, beat out two other lawmakers on Thursday to replace McCarthy as party whip. Scalise has a solidly conservative record but also has had good ties with leadership, including Boehner.
The party’s conservative wing pushed for one of their own to join the leadership after a little-known professor with Tea Party support defeated Cantor in his Virginia primary. Cantor’s announcement that he would leave the leadership at the end of July prompted a surprise shake-up.
The GOP are slow learners...

This is why you never vote for a RINO. They will back-stab you later...

Two former GOP RINO Senators  are endorsing Democrats in key Senate races. Don't give your vote to someone who despises you and your opinions this November just because they have an "R" beside their name and people claim they can win. If they hate conservatives and the Tea Party, it soesn't matter if they win or lose. Hi Micth McConnell.

Via The Corner:
The latest apostate is former senator John Warner of Virginia, who announced this week he is backing incumbent Democratic senator Mark Warner for reelection. He is thus giving the back of his hand to former RNC chairman Ed Gillespie, a former George W. Bush adviser, who has a decent shot at winning and is no wild-eyed radical. Last year, Warner also endorsed the Georgia candidacy of Michelle Nunn, a Democrat, who is the daughter of former senator Sam Nunn, with whom Warner served in the Senate. He even attended a fundraiser on her behalf. Georgia Republicans who find themselves defending an open Senate seat in Georgia are furious since the Warner support allows Nunn to position herself as a bipartisan moderate.Nor is Warner the only problem ex-senator the GOP has to contend with as it strives to assemble a team capable of winning a Senate majority. Former senator Richard Lugar of Indiana, who lost his Senate GOP primary in 2012 to conservative Richard Mourdock and then declined to endorse him, has also endorsed Nunn and had his political PAC send her the maximum $5,000 contribution. Nunn praised Lugar for his “collaborative approach” and pledged to “follow this legacy in the U.S. Senate.”

Senate Democrats don't even have RINO support for their new gun control laws

If they can't get a RINO like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on board, it's over...
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday blasted Democratic efforts to pass new gun control laws, vowing that a bill Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) plans to bring to the floor next month was “going nowhere.”

Graham singled out universal background checks as the reason he and other Republicans would vote against or filibuster the legislation. Graham argued that existing laws on background checks should be enforced before those laws are expanded.

RINO Senator Lindsey Graham is pretty excited over dinner with Obama and other RINO GOP Senators...

Senator Graham got used like a prostitute at a counterfeiter's convention...

Via Breitbart:

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released a statement Thursday boasting about his dinner with Barack Obama. He made the following statement after meeting with the President: 


Last night's dinner with President Obama and my Republican colleagues was productive and substantive. I hope it will serve as the beginning of a new, long-overdue paradigm where people in elected office actually begin talking to each other about meaningful issues.

Obama to dine with RINO's. What could go wrong?

Senator John McCain most excited...

Via FOX News:
But the White House confirmed that it has called together a dinner meeting Wednesday evening with several rank-and-file Senate Republicans. The meeting, days in the making, will be held on neutral territory – a downtown Washington hotel – though the snowstorm blowing through D.C. could postpone the rendezvous.
The guest list has not been made public, but aides say it includes Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Bob Corker of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Dan Coats of Indiana and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.
“I have a dogsled ready to go,” McCain joked Wednesday.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell claimed he didn’t mind that Obama was going around Republican leaders.

RINO's Show Their Horns

Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator John McCain are calling for NATO to assassinate Muammar Gaddafi.
(Telegraph) — Senior western leaders called for Nato to adopt an assassination policy against Col Muammar Gaddafi to salvage the bombing campaign in Libya from a descent into stalemate.

The calls came as Col Gaddafi was reported to have strengthened his grip on power by repatriating billions of dollars in overseas assets that should have been frozen by UN sanctions.

On Sunday, there was growing pressure on Coalition forces to directly target Col Gaddafi with military strikes.

Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican member of the Senate Armed Services committee, said that the quickest way to end the emerging stalemate was to “cut the head of the snake off”. He said: “The people around Gaddafi need to wake up every day wondering, ‘Will this be my last?’

Senator John McCain, who visited Libya at the weekend, also said that the Libyan dictator should be targeted...
NATO responds?

Reuters reported:
A NATO airstrike flattened a building inside Muammar Gaddafi’s Bab al-Aziziyah compound early Monday, in what a press official from Gaddafi’s government said was an attempt on the Libyan leader’s life.

Barney Frank Claims Stimulus isn't Working Because Republicans Made them Cut $40 billion

Barney Frank claimed the Stimulus isn't working because they had to cut $40 billion to secure the votes of the three RINO's that helped pass the bill. Rep. Frank jokes around in this segment with Stewart, but he is serious when talking about why the stimulus isn't working.
