Update: George Voinovich was the last Senator to vote today. He had no convictions at all about the amnesty bill. Voinovich is a total embarrassment. Grandpa Voinovich has no convictions, no class, and should not be a Senator at all.
George Voinovich was lousy when he was Ohio’s Governor. He is now even more clueless to contemporary issues. In his interview with Sean Hannity, Voinovich appears to be totally lost!
I have tired to call the Senator’s office several times, and no one ever answers the phone, and his voice mail is full. He does not respond to email messages. I am outraged at Voinovich’s behavior. Hopefully, he will plan to retire from the senate-and soon!
Voinovich should remember what happened to Mike Dewine last November. Ohio Republicans can not and will not tolerate Voinovich. Listen to the interview over at Hot Air, and judge for yourselves: Grandpa Voinovich seems to have lost it. I have never voted for Voinovich since his first election as Governor, and I would never vote for him again.
BizzyBlog has a lot more coverage.
“A travesty. He’s the personification of the bill’s ills: ignorant of and incurious about its weaknesses, confused as to what’s in it and what isn’t (per his comments about Kay Bailey Hutchison’s amendment), and worst of all brimming with arrogance at the nerve of conservative proles to be angry about this issue. This clip ought to push those confidence-in-Congress poll numbers into single digits, assuming they’re not there already.”
“He also appears to have only the vaguest sense of what the Fairness Doctrine is. Rest easy tonight knowing that in these capable hands may rest the fate of the nation’s immigration policy.”
Update: Michelle Malkin has lots of updates and information.

Love the blog, I had not read you before. Where is your about me page?
Also, I have to say it took me a while to figure out why the Ann Coulter/Elizabeth Edwards smackdown was accompanied by Going Home to New York. Perhaps re-think the automatic sound on the Sonific Songspot?

Okay, it was funny 20 minutes ago, but I’ve been surfing through your blog, just like I always do when I find a new one I really like. The soundspot comes on everytime you click on “previous,” everytime you click on a comment section, etc. etc. I have to strongly suggest to you that you get rid of the soundspot. It is so, so bad. I’d love to keep reading more, but not with the soundspot.

Ok. I have fixed the songspot. Play it if you wish.
I appreciate the advice. Thank you.

I don’t think he’ll have to make the decision to retire. We, the people of the state of Ohio, will make it for him!

Voinovich is a total disgrace. Hopefully, we will be able to convince Rob Portman to run for the Senate.

My 11 year old Hannitized daughter is more informed than our embarassing senator! Next time I will have her call Sean, she could have a more informed conversation than the ignorant senator! And she would not hang up on him!

I live in Cleveland. This man was our Mayor. I never voted for him for any office. I never understood why people liked this guy.

I live in Pennsylvania where both of my Senators vote pro-Amnesty every time. Specter is a complete fraud as a Republican. I have to admit that after listening to Voinovich on Sean Hannity, I wondered who in their right minds could have voted for this bum. We are stuck with Specter and Casey; I hope the voters in Ohio can kick Voinovich to the curb.
