Senator Voinovich (R-Ohio) just gave an impassioned plea, choking back tears, to Senators on his side of the aisle not to nominate Bolton to be ambassador to the UN.
You may recall that Voinovich expressed his concerns on Bolton during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Hearings, only to send the nomination to the Senate Floor for the Up and Down vote.
Voinovich voiced worry for the direction of this country, noting the costs in human life, as well as the continuing costs and financial burden of the wars we are fighting – and the plummeting opinions of our friends and allies around the world.
Having a spine and refusing to toe the party line – cheers to Voinovich.
