Senate confirms Loretta Lynch with help of 10 republicans.

[okie52]

The Senate voted 56–43 in favor of Lynch, approving her with help of 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.).

Flake, graham, ayotte, hatch, mcconnell, et al. Same old same old...with the exception of portman whom I'm surprised to see on the list.


President Barack Obama’s nominee to replace Eric Holder as Attorney General of the United States, Loretta Lynch, said on Wednesday during a Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing that she thinks illegal aliens have the same right to work in America as American citizens do.

“Senator, I believe the right and the obligation to work is one that is shared by everyone in this country, regardless of how they came here,” Lynch said when asked by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) who has a greater right to work: Illegal aliens, or lawful immigrants and American citizens?

“Certainly, if someone is here—regardless of status—I would prefer that they be participating in the workplace than not participating in the workplace,” Lynch said.

Confirming this mentality as AG is totally unacceptable.

If you were a TV character, in episode 5 we'd learn that you had to wear knock off ToughSkins because your daddy lost his brick laying business to an immigrant and he had to go to work at the company store.

Good thing the right is all about cooperation.

then you are an "idot" and will cry when the illegals are allowed to take your job...

[SicEmBaylor]

Why complain? Most of you would unquestionably vote for those individuals in a general election ensuring they are sent right back to Washington to continue to **** everyone over; because, hey, that (R) next to their name makes their **** smell like wild flowers and unicorns.

[Soonerjeepman]

I know it pisses you off sic....but no, a R doesn't make their **** smell like roses. BUT you can be guaranteed a vote for a D or independent will definitely allow such things to happen.

I'll vote for someone who represents the MAJORITY of what I believe in.

Rand is flirting with a homosexual conservative (what an oxymoron) group...suppose conservative as in financial side..not a thing I want to see but if his platform is closer to what I want then I'll bite the bullet on that. Just have to see what is out there.

A TV character, eh? I was hoping more for a captain America role battling evil liberal subversives like yourself that had no problem selling out the country.

You're obviously more concerned over the wait for Obamas appointments rather than the content of those appointments. Bravo!!!

There are some issues that are "deal breakers" for some of us. It won't matter to me if a candidate agrees with me on every other issue...if he's for amnesty or a facsimile thereof I'll never vote him.

I expect dems to be slimy on this issue and they continue to vote in complete lockstep support for amnesty. Hell legalization isn't even enough for those sellouts. Not one dem voted against the senate amnesty nor did one dem vote against lynch's confirmation.Yet there are a sizable group of pubs that are no better...even worse in some ways since the pubs are virtually the only thing that has stood in the way of amnesty for the last decade.

I will pull for any amnesty supporting pub to lose against whomever they face in a general election. Better for the dems to get credit for enacting bad policy and someday...maybe just someday...the elitist establishment pub sellouts will have to change their tune and stop ignoring their base.

I said "if". I don't see how that's tacky or personal. You are simply clearly stuck on immigration. I bet you hate Reagan. :)

If? I thought we were talking about TV characters.

I hate that Reagan did amnesty about 30 years ago. At least at that time it was uncharted waters but now we know it was a huge failure. Yet many want to try the same bad policy again...particularly stupid for pubs.

I've never made any bones about 2 issues that were paramount to me...energy and illegal immigration. I'm adamantly against amnesty or anything more than temp work visas at employers expense. If that's being stuck then my feet are in cement.

No deal killers for you serenity? An AG that thinks illegals have as much of a right to work in the U.S. As U.S. Citizens is your way of thinking? If that's a sign of ambivalence I sure don't want to end up there.

[SicEmBaylor]

Sic you sound like a ****in Lib moren more every day!

You realize that in this argument, I'm the one pleading that these 10 be held accountable for the fact that they just voted to CONFIRM President Obama's nominee for AG -- one of the most far-left nominees in American history...a nominee who refuses to uphold immigration law and is a champion of civil forfeiture . Everyone else (mostly) will ultimately give these ten senators a complete pass. It should be noted that this is definitely not unusual for these ten -- this is definitely par for the course.

But, please, tell me again how I'm the one who sounds like a liberal......

Sicem is just working one side of the equation. 100% of the D's (and I) voted for Lynch's confirmation. Over 80% of the R's voted nay and somehow he sees this as an affirmation of his philosophy. If anything we need to stamp out more R's because this would indicate that 4 out of 5 would have voted her down.

There is absolutely nothing oxymoronic or hypocritical about being a gay conservative. Absolutely nothing. It may not be considered *socially* conservative, but it most certainly is not inconsistent with being *politically* conservative which is a difference you and plenty of others seem to miss.

Why is it an oxymoron for a gay guy to want less government in his life? Why is it an oxymoron for a gay guy to want more individual liberty? If anything, there should be a LOT more gay conservatives -- what drives them away from embracing small government/individual liberty are the evangelical witch hunters on the right that ostracize them.

[Soonerjeepman]

yes, conservative socially.

[FaninAma]

No he's not. He's just not a pragmatist. I understand exactly what he is saying. Has electing establishment Republicans slowed down the National Debt? Nope. Has electing Republicans cost us fewer lives in that **** hole also known as the Middle East? Nope. Has electing Republicans led to less enrichment of the top 0.1% and less control of our federal financial regualtory agencies by Wall Street? Nope.

The definition of insanity(or stupidity) is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Yes he is, Simply because he thinks Tom Cotton should be taken out to sea and dropped off with out a Life preserver.
My Point is I agree with you on reelecting the established from both sides.
My point with Cotton is "At least hes trying to change things!"

[olevetonahill]

Which brings me back to sayin what Rock and I agree on . Toss em ALL out and lets start over.

[SicEmBaylor]

My point with Cotton is "At least hes trying to change things!"

Most Democrats are trying to change things for the better consistent with their values and principles, but that doesn't make them right. Cotton is a zealous supporter of everything from NSA domestic spy programs to the Patriot Act to the NDAA (2011). He was responsible for organizing that ill-advised and 'less than constitutional' letter to Iran. He's an overzealous hawk who would push this country further toward war with Iran, Syria, and half the rest of the middle-east.

I'd tie a cement block around his ankle and shove him overboard like the mob drowns a rat.

I could easily have added Congressman Steve Russell (OK-CD5) as well. I saw Steve Russell speak, in person, for the first time at the GOP state convention a few weeks ago. That man is certifiable. Not a word came out of his mouth that I agreed with, and it was all I could do to stop myself from chunking my shoe at him.

Oklahoma's delegation is, on the whole, terrible. The only Federally elected official in Oklahoma worth a **** whom I approve of is Jim Bridenstine.

Sic, My point is Little Bro, we been yelling get the "Established Politicians" out of there and get new and fresh blood in. It happenned. Now If that new blood aint worth a shat then Toss it the next election. Lets keep throwing the OLD arseholes out and keep trying to bring in new.
If that dont work then Armed rebellion may be the answer!

Unfortunately, sincerely, there aren't ANY good democrats, and haven't been any, for a very long time. Sure, some of the R's are not good, but they are better than the statist/leftists that make up the entirety of the democrats who run for any office. We need to select the best people in the R primaries.

Exactly. The conservative hand to hand combat needs to be done in the primaries. Sicem's scorched earth attitude in the general elections is no more than cutting off the nose to spite the face.

No you won't. You'll vote for whatever (R) you think will win the general regardless of their politics. You yourself told me *exactly* this back during the 2008 cycle.

That is, who I believe can also stand the inevitable personal destruction assault by the Media. About all one can do, as far as voting is concerned.
