Republicans Who Voted for Treasury Secretary Geithner

By Phil

The following information comes from the US Senate Roll Call on the nomination of Timothy Geithner to be Treasury Secretary (via RedState.com).

Senate Republicans who believe that Mr. Geithner should still be Secretary depsite the fact that he is a tax cheat of the worst sort (even blaming TurboTax for the “mistake” of not paying enough taxes); remember these folks in upcoming years:

Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)
Ensign (R-NV)
Graham (R-SC)
Gregg (R-NH)
Hatch (R-UT)
Shelby (R-AL)
Snowe (R-ME)
Voinovich (R-OH)

What’s interesting is the following Democrats and Independent who voted against Mr. Geithner:

Byrd (D-WV)
Feingold (D-WI)
Harkin (D-IA)
Sanders (I-VT)

So, which Republicans actually stood up, for a change, and similarly voted against the now Treasury Secretary (and, by definition, believe that failure to pay the required amount of taxes shouldn’t be rewarded with running the IRS)?

Alexander (R-TN), Barrasso (R-WY), Bennett (R-UT), Brownback (R-KS), Bunning (R-KY), Burr (R-NC), Chambliss (R-GA), Coburn (R-OK), Cochran (R-MS), Collins (R-ME), DeMint (R-SC), Enzi (R-WY), Grassley (R-IA), Hutchison (R-TX), Inhofe (R-OK), Isakson (R-GA), Johanns (R-NE), Kyl (R-AZ), Lugar (R-IN), Martinez (R-FL), McCain (R-AZ), McConnell (R-KY), Murkowski (R-AK), Risch (R-ID), Roberts (R-KS), Sessions (R-AL), Specter (R-PA), Thune (R-SD), Vitter (R-LA), Wicker (R-MS)
