You know the general reaction to this today? Who cares, where’s my check!
So far, only Rockefeller has voted aye among Democrats. One more and it’s over.
LOOKEE LOOKEE – Harry even wore his yellow tie for the event!!
Reed of Rhode Island: no
feingold: no
can I buy you a drink?
dodd: no
bingaman: no
cardin: no
tester: no
murray: no
stabenow: no
Mrs. Clinton? Mrs. Clinton? Bueller?
Mr. Obama? Mr. Obaaaaaama?
“Hope”. “Change”
“I sure HOPE you can spare some CHANGE.”
They are dead to me.
Dead.
D-E-A-D. Dead.
My retarded state won’t matter anyway.
I hate them all from the very depth and breadth of my soul.
dorgan: no
casey jr.: no
Have either lieberman or landrieu voted yet?
casey voted no?
cool.
baucus: NO (surprised)
kennedy: no
byrd: no
webb: no
sanders: no
feinstein: no (shocked)
biden: no
klobuchar: no
Wow, I’m shocked too. She’s even on the Intelligence committee.
She’s not as bad as you all think. She’s mostly a good liberal democrat. Every now and then, and a little moreso lately, she takes actions that are antithetical to our interests. But more often than not, she does side with us, which is why CA keeps reelecting her.
respectfully, pfffft.
If Feinstein ever is in a competitive election again I may have to grit my teeth, but for now the Peace and Freedom or Green candidate gets my vote when she runs.
Barbara Boxer, any time, any office. Feinstein? Don’t think so.
I, too, refuse to vote for her. Last time, I wrote in Shehan.
We probably won’t get the opportunity. This will probably be her last term. Even then, she’s got a mountain of money the blessing of the “party” (DLC)…
She’s like the only Democrat I know that the Republicans I work with speak glowingly of. I know very few Democrats who actual vote for her. Most of us left that spot empty on the ballots.
Lieberman in pearls…
The only way I can tell them apart is that her hair is darker and she keeps coming back to CA.
I still recall Jello Biafra’s nickname for her back when they both ran for mayor: “the dragon lady with no f’ing heart.”
I think CA can do better.
levin: no
bayh: AYE (we lose)
mikulski: AYE (we doubly lose)
Both are on intel committee. Probably not a coincidence.
Bayh still in the Veepstakes.
Now, why we think Bayh is a Democrat is beyond me.
I can’t believe it.
Salazar’s lackey wouldn’t tell me how he plans to vote. Bet you a beer he fails us.
correct!
salazar: aye piece of shit!
lieberman: aye
pryor: aye (worthless shill)
lieberman: aye
inouye: aye
salazar: aye
durbin: aye (can he be publicly flogged for hypocrisy?)
boxer: no
menendez: no
mccaskill: aye
McCaskill, ugh, consistent with her authorization in the first place. Sorry from MO.
who would have thought that Brady would be better by a country mile?
ugh, I meant Casey.
casey’s been under a lot of pressure on FISA.
Dodd is chair of the banking committee, where casey has a seat. His office got openly angry at me when I read them a DL bulletin I was planning on sending out to the 800 members on the list: IIRC the flack pretty much begged me not to send it out. I also told casey’s office that I was calling Dodd’s office after every conversation to encourage Dodd to punish casey for not going along. And then of course I got to him again at MLK Day too, face to face.
I’ll give him props today for doing the right thing. I have to call up and ask that he support all of Dodd’s amendments.
I wish I didn’t have to be such a constant dickhead to get what I want, but hey, if that’s what it takes i have assholery to spare.
As a resident of the (not) great state of Nebraska and Benny “the hairdo” Nelson, I feel your pain.
🙁
I simply am floored.
Durbin….no surprise.
Nelson of florida: aye
whitehouse: no
carper: aye
lincoln: no
did Durbin change his vote to no?
Tim Johnson: aye
conrad: no
harkin: no
kohl: no
just a sidenote here to say that we’re actually doing better than I thought, although that doesn’t matter.
Landrieu: aye
Nelson of Nebraska: aye
