The Right Scoop

This is an eye opener. Texas is right, and many others are wrong. I'm defintely surprised about the Oklahomans. The vote was what I expected from California, the state of my birth and the first 21 years of my life. Please don't tell anyone where I came from. It's embarassing.
now we can stop wondering why our country is such a mess and who is responsible... it's these nuts that think they are spending their own money and don't mind arming terrorists.... and we keep voting them into office... does anyone else smell this ?

Why does Egypt need F-16's and tanks? Can't they get along with their less lethal planes and hummers with gun mounts. Surely if our Government thinks it's US citizens can get along with less, why shouldn't our non-citizens be any different.
To Richard Burr of North Carolina are you stupid, very disappointed I guess commonsense is not used at all in this case. Good Grief!!!
Many "republicans" have been compromised and this vote proves it. Any help to enemies who want to kill us is beyond crazy. I am not a repub or a dem. Im just an American who belives in the Constitution. God help us all
congressmen are not allowed to vote 100% their convictions, or else they will bite the bullet. They have ideals until they are elected. Then they face reality. We can deal with another country with our weapons. If anything, we can comandeer them while they THINK they are theirs. Ron Paul chose to not show up and vote on certain things that he would normally be considered interested in. Other commenters in here put it plain, that certain of these are conservative in other crucial areas. I do believe we are in need of a huge miracle 2014 election that would be impossible for man to coordinate. The current House and Senate are like one toxic deck of cards right now.
Only 19 republicans stand true. The others reveal their hypocrisy: supporting the socialist agenda of the progressive un-American democrats, stabbing our ally in the back, spending money we don't have - duplicity as an art form!
this is an illustration of the dirty secret so proudly displayed in the Hagel nomination. If you would vote NO to your senator becoming the democrap president's secretary of whatever, they WHY would you keep him as your senator?
We have two big fat losers from TN, but they're both R's so we can't afford to rock the boat and run somebody against them in the primary because "then the democrats could take the seat".
SO FREAKING WHAT!?!!?!
What Difference Does It Make© which party has control if they're all gonna vote like democrats?
these men and women are traitors not only to our Country but also to our allies...when we the people come for you...we will come for your families too...treason is a hangable offense...and these people are about to find out why.
With regard to Sen. Inhofe's vote, I was initially aghast, however when I went to his FB page I see he has also introduced legislation to indefinitely suspend sales to Egypt of this equipment.
He wants to still sell them with conditions on Morsi, which seem unrealistic. He is still saying to send these planes/tanks into the volatile situation that existed before and since Morsi, and accelerating an arms race between Israel and Egypt. What reason does Egypt need these other than to fight Israel and the US? The last conflict we would want to inflame?
What do you think about Rand's position compared to Inhofe's? Inhofe's position is also on his website posted last week.
Yeah, and 79 people who are exactly the same (as bad) will replace them.
America doesn't have enough time to salvage the Republican party, and that's even if it's possible, which I doubt, given how embedded the establishment is and how little will there is in voters to do anything substantive about it.
Thanks Rand Paul you are a true patriot against the odds you still vote for the nation and the people. These spineless people who are out to destroy America will stop at nothing to get a few dollars and what good will it do them when the very country the dollar stands on falls. The very idea of sending these planes and tanks when this nations defense is in question due to the high debt. We should cancel this sale on that ground alone and keep the weapons for our own military. But even if we didnt need them, we don't need our enemies to possess them. Thanks again Mr. Paul. Patrick Henry and Paul Revere are single names in a crowd but they stand out as patriots. Benedict Arnold stands out also as the 79 who voted to give our enemies these weapons stand out. This vote shows where the allegiance of the U S senate is and it is not in America's favor. Wake up people.
Living in Minnesota, the republicans don't get any representation from our senators. And the state offices are controlled by the Dems also. Minnesotians are geting a raw deal all around.
Work with you Tea Party, volunteer,,get some good people in there,,you can do it
and for those in office, write letters...no emails its worth the cost of a stamp and encourage everyone to do it...I am just about ready to march on DC..I hear this from so many states!!

There were 19 suicide bombers on 9/11 and today 19 good men voted for their country to stop sending weapons to the people who sent the suicide bombers. There were 79 others who blindly voted to be with obama or either are just plain communists themselves. I am from Mississippi and both my U S Senators voted to send F 16s and tanks to the muslim brother hood . What good reason can they have for this. There is none. They got paid in the backroom somewhere to propagate this agenda. But their money will do them no good when these Islamist take over America. And the Islamist will show them no mercy either.
Interesting. I called the offices of both Senators from OK before the vote and was told they were firmly against the sale -- the opposite of how they voted according to this list
"Just to clarify, the vote was to ‘table’ the amendment which is why there are more YEAs than NAYs."
And just what does 'table' the Amendment mean, if it doesn't mean vote against it? You notice there isn't ONE Democratic vote 'for' the amendment and if we had Republicans with any guts, there would have been 45 'NAY's'. 98 votes and 45 'NAY's means it would have passed by only 3 votes. If nothing else, that would have sent a message to Morsi that maybe the (Muslim Brotherhood) 'gravy train' is running thin. ;-(
Wondering if the House is going to have a chance to stop this? Can a bill be submitted in the Senate again? Inhofe submitted a bill, but on his website says he wants just to delay it until we get promises from Morsi .. What? He at the same time says Morsi needs to be out. How can this make sense to him? What else can be done? March on DC a someone here suggests? Don't we have to? Can anyone start a website about this--I am in central NYS and I would come and help...
The only message that should be sent to the Muslim brotherhood is a dozen or so nuclear bombs targeted at Egyptian military facilities and population centers.
Sure, you might stop a "gravy train" and hence stop Egypt from increasing its strength as quickly, but you'll still have an Islamic state that is at war with Western civilization (and especially Israel).
Even after the way this voting went, you'll still all be voting Republican, and you'll keep voting Republican again and again. You're gluttons for punishment.
I just wonder what it will take until you stop being sentimental over the corpse of this long dead defender of liberty, and instead go third party.
These repubs are taking advantage of us! Just like we scream bloody murder to the black population, trying to show them that the dem party isn't helping them, but hurting them, yet they keep voting for them, it's being done to conservatives as well.
I agree with another comment I saw here. The GOP don't feel threatened by losing our votes. We're petrified of having dems run everything, so the GOP think they can have votes all over the spectrum and well still keep them. I don't want Marxists as my leaders, but I'm tired of not being able to count on repubs for even the most simple votes, like duh, not arming our enemies! I will be voting my folks out next time! We the people need to be respected again!
The 'black population' are just voting for the most consistent of the two statist parties. One party (Democrat) openly wants big government, and the other party (Republican) covertly wants big government. If you're going to go with a party that basically want the same thing, then you're going to go with the one that really believes that their policies are morally right, rather than the alternative which wants it, but feels guilty and hypocritical about it.
There is no real "opposition" in America, unless you count the Libertarian party. It's pretty much all going the same way: Faster under Democrat rule, but slower under Republican rule. Overtly under Democrat rule, but covertly under Republican rule.
The two Ga reps just lost my vote. I am disgusted with them right now.
We need to protect us not sell ourselves off like this. I just don't get these guys.
It's way overdue. Franken and Klobuchar of Mn. have to go as well as the rest of them useless clowns.
Sad to see Portman and Johnson on that list. I sent Kirk (my senator) a letter showing my disappointment in his vote on this. I wouldn't waste my time sending anything to Durbin.
MCCAIN WHAT A WEASEL DOUBLE AGENT EVERY TRAITOR ON THAT LIST SHOULD HANG FOR TREASON PERIOD
GOP does not give a crap about us. They know you will vote for them no matter what since the Dems are outright marxist.
I don't get it...whose side are the "yea" Republicans on? Those weapons will be used against Isreal, they will be used to further the power of the brotherhood, and that all being true, they will be used against the interests of America.
These politicians no longer care. They feel protected as senators. You ever watch those movies where an asteroid is gonna hit the US, and they secure and take congress to safety so that a govment can survive the impending doom and emerge some time later to lead the survivors? They know that they are safe and protected and wont have to take up arms in defense.
Seems it's time to reign in our Alaskan senators. Maybe it's time to teach them who we respect and side with in this world. It is not a terrorist organization masquerading as a legitimate government.
These republicrats must be dealt with in the next cycle. Every one of them need to be challenged.
These people are traitors and two faced back stabbers.. They all need to be fired.
Wow I do not believe this how can they keep doing this shit First off we need to take care of our own military then we can deal with others after we get a whole new congress and white house
