Voinovich
Did anyone see or hear that Senator Voinovich broke down and cried during an impassioned speech on the Senate floor while pleading with his peers to not confirm Bolton? It seems that he had a sudden attack of conscience.
​
Here's his speech.
​
I think I love George Voinovich.

Re: Voinovich
No, he could have held up Bolton's confirmation vote in committe and not even let it come to the senate floor for a vote.

Re: Voinovich
I really don't care that he would have been committing political suicide. I think he's already lined himself up for the firing squad anyway for openly opposing the President

It's pretty bad when a Senator cannot say what all the sane people are thinking about Bolton without risking his entire career.
