2005 Republican Senators

REPUBLICANS WE LIKED IN 2005

1. Chuck Hagel: He has proven again and again that he is a good man that looks after the interest of the country. Although we disagree with his conservative philosophy, we find his honesty about the mistakes of the Bush administration and the Iraq war refreshing. He also said the memorable “My oath is to the Constitution, not to a vice president, a president or a political party.”
2. Arlen Specter: He remains a positive presence in the republican party. He is a secular surrounded by religious extremists.
3. John Sonunu: He voted against the patriot act.
4. Lincoln Chaffee: Moderate secular republican. Voted against the Iraq war.

REPUBLICANS WE ALMOST LIKED IN 2005

1. John McCain: He fought the endorsement of "torture" by the Bush administration and won. Thats very good, but unfortunately he remains a strong advocate of the Iraq war.
2. Olympia Snowe: Moderate and reasonable republican. But she voted for the patriot act. Nevertheless, if Roe v. Wade ever becomes an issue, she will go along with the rational secular senators.

REPUBLICANS WE DID NOT LIKE IN 2005

All the rest. They should be ashamed for continuing to support the worst president in the history of the country.
