At Least There’s a Few Heroes Left
Being from Texas, it made me happy to see that Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) was among the 16 heroes who stood up to oppose a portion of the Dodd/Frank Mortgage Bailout bill that was before the Senate today. Senator Cornyn and the 15 other Senators who voted “No” should be commended for their commitment to limited and responsible government. They are:
|
Barrasso (R-WY) |
Coburn (R-OK) |
Kyl (R-AZ) |
|
Bond (R-MO) |
Crapo (R-ID) |
Thune (R-SD) |
|
Brownback (R-KS) |
DeMint (R-SC) |
Vitter (R-LA) |
|
Bunning (R-KY) |
Ensign (R-NV) |
|
|
Burr (R-NC) |
Enzi (R-WY) |
|
|
Chambliss (R-GA) |
Inhofe (R-OK) |
Unfortunately, the other Senator from Texas, Kay Bailey Hutchison, chose to make a political decision and ended up on the wrong side of this issue. Hopefully, she and a number of the other Senators who voted with her will do the right thing and oppose the remainder of the bailout.
