The biggest sellout on the START issue, John McCain.
Was his name in that list? I say the two who talked against it up to election day and then voted with the Dems are a bit worse. I don't get to vote against anyone who went along, for whatever reason so I may be talking out of school.
My 2 sold out. One is up for re-election in 2012 and the other in 2013 or 14, I think. Time for some conservatives to be thinking about opposing them.
Crapo and Coburn, both re-elected in November, talked against the thing till after the election and then did an about face. Their voters need to take them to task.

How's this for integrity? John McCain tried to barter support for START in return for denying the repeal of DADT - and when he didn't get his way, he tried to introduce a poison-pill amendment to the treaty, duly voted down.
Yup, the angry old man was quite prepared make deals regarding something rather major - like nuclear inspection regimens - as long as the horrible, no-good, scary-scary gay people were kept from serving. We are forever in Palin's debt for highlighting McCain's decision-making capabilities.

That is because there is a difference between doing the right thing and the smart thing and getting re-elected.

Oh, I don't know. It's just that sellout and McCain are terms that have become synonymous.

Why? What if they thought it was the right thing to do?
See..that's what i mean. It was a victory for the Prez, so we gotta take these senators out for helping him look good.
Just seeing the name, "Dick Morris," i generally ignore everything that comes after that.
In any case, the Senators who sold out were the ones who voted against it for political reasons. To this day, i don't believe for a minute that they were against the treaty on principle, but were against it because it gave Obama a victory.
Well said.
