Voinovich not too popular on the right

Republican Senator George Voinovich has not won any friends on the right this week. Here are a couple of choice samples:

King’s Right Site:

…first he supports the shamnesty program and now he wants to pull out of Iraq, but not abandon our mission! Pull out and not abandon our mission???

With his head still in his ass and standing on phone books while speaking to the media, Little George, emulating his new idol Kookcinich, tried explaining his betrayal.

Joe C. at Right Angle Blog:

I don’t think I’m overstating it when I say that any illusions GV may have had of running for re-election in 2010 were dashed today. All any challenger would have to do is continually replay this blithering at every campaign stop and make it a TV ad with the trailer: “Do you want this idiot in the senate for 6 more years?” I doubt that anyone could vote for him with a clear conscience.

Voinovich did a segment on Sean Hannity’s radio show that didn’t go over very well. BizzyBlog has a round-up of caustic opinion.
