Which GOP Senators are putting loyalty to the RNC above loyalty to the country?Joe Biden is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee. Today he said that that two other Senate Republicans have told him they'll break with the White House Iraq strategy.
BUT not until after the November elections.
"Two leading Republican Senators have come to me," Biden recalled, and said that after the election "the need to protect the president will be nonexistent" and Republicans will be freer to break with the White House and call for change in Iraq. This is the essence of Republicanism. Cover for the President and his FUBAR war, stab our fighting men in the back and after the elections say "who me?".
This comment from an Eschatonian sums it up:
