’)65-31 for a nominee the religious right went all out against. Got impotence?
The U.S. Senate on Tuesday confirmed Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius as health secretary, filling a crucial spot in President Barack Obama’s cabinet amid growing fears of a possible swine flu pandemic.
The Senate voted 65-31 for Sebelius, brushing back Republican opposition to her support for abortion rights. Sebelius was tapped by Obama to lead his push to overhaul the U.S. healthcare system.

If I didn’t know better, I’d think that this result undercuts the treasured liberal belief (and talking point) that the “religious right” makes up the bulk of conservatives and is firmly in control of the Republican Party.
But we all know they do. Because non-partisan truth-bringers Media Matters tells us so.

That’s an interesting observation Dave. Care to expand on that? All 31 of the no votes were Republicans. That’s 31 out of 40.

I grew up in a malt shop so I enjoy grasping at straws.

And clearly you don’t know better, or you wouldn’t have written something this powerfully stupid.
Dave in SoCal: 65-31 … I’d think that this result undercuts the treasured liberal belief (and talking point) that the “religious right” makes up the bulk of conservatives and is firmly in control of the Republican Party.
Yup, 31 of 40 or nearly 78% voted aganist her. Seems to be the bulk to me.
Athiesmo what an idiot.
Idiot.
Dude, (meaning Dave in SoCal),
Timothy Leary only _dreamed_ of being that high.
The Senate Repubs are firmly in the cloaca of the
BitterEnder-ers, and there they will stay for the
foreseeable future.
It’s hard being a “culture warriah” these days
OhShitPandemic!
This kind of thing is so alien to us here in UK – we have free health care too which is pretty wow I suppose!
Watching these kinda battles you have in your Senate is fascinating must admit.
