Too many conservative senators like Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) are to blame for the GOP’s downfall, one of their retiring Republican colleagues complained Monday.


“We got too many Jim DeMints and Tom Coburns,” Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio) told the Columbus Dispatch. “It’s the southerners.”
Voinovich, a native Clevelander who retires after the 2010 election, continued after the southern elements of the GOP.


“They get on TV and go ‘errrr, errrrr,’” he said. “People hear them and say, ‘These people, they’re southerners. The party’s being taken over by southerners. What they hell they got to do with Ohio?’”

Lol...

This is more divide and conquer nonsense. They will seperate us as much as we allow them to get in our heads and seperate us.

Although after being royally screwed by Alabama dfacs I must admit I do have a tendency to recoil when I hear a southern drawl. I attempt to get past this disgust though. The truth is the south and the north still have very different agendas and it is why the federal government should be concerned with only a limited number of issues. Blame Lincoln...

Sen. George Voinovich is my Senator and I truly despise him.
