Would you vote for these guys if one won the Dem nom. for president?

[Selatius]

Lincoln (D) Yes.
Pryor (D) Yes.
Salazar (D) Yes.
Biden (D) Yes.
Carper (D) Yes.
Nelson (D) Yes.
Inouye (D) Yes.
Bayh (D) Yes.
Landrieu (D) Yes.
Stabenow (D) Yes.
Baucus (D) Yes.
Nelson (D) Yes.
Reid (D) Yes.
Bingaman (D) Yes.
Conrad (D) Yes.
Johnson (D) Yes.
Byrd (D) Yes.
Kohl (D) Yes.

These are the Democrats who voted for the bankruptcy bill that passed today.

If any one of these guys won the Democratic nomination for president, would you vote for the person on November 2nd? I want to see how you people would react to one of these guys (Bayh or Biden, for example) winning the party nomination knowing how the guy voted today. I want to know.

Would you vote for him on election day???

[K-W]

1. probably

My ethics are based on consequences, not grudges. As long as voting dem is the action most likely to make peoples lives better, I will vote dem regardless of how bad they are.

[billbuckhead]

17. Too many fake Dems are confusing the voters, to Zell with them

Especially with RepuKKKe fakes like Colon Pile, the Governator, Bloomberg, Coleman, Spector, etc, confusing them from other directions. Then there's the corporate media.

[Walt Starr]

2. Nope

Voting in favor of the Assault on the Middle Class Bill is an automatic disqualifier for the office of president.

[polmaven]

22. And the alternative would be.....?????

:shrug:

[Walt Starr]

33. When faced with the choice of a Republican who sells out the middle class

and a Democrat who sells out the middle class, there's always third party choices.

[LSparkle]

3. Nope

Sorry -- this bill is entirely anti-middle class, pro-business. Voting yes is not being a good Democrat, IMHO. These people are DINOs and don't deserve the nomination or my vote.

[ISUGRADIA]

8. Yes, expell them all! We need a 32 Member Dem Senate Caucus

[ISUGRADIA]

9. Delete, duplicate

[ISUGRADIA]

10. Yes, expell them all! We need a 32 Member Dem Senate Caucus

[Rowdyboy]

4. Yes, even if two of them share the ticket

I vote for the Democratic nominee

[kliljedahl]

5. No damn way!!!

[ISUGRADIA]

6. Yes, one vote does not a career make

though I'd probably be collecting winnings from vegas having taken the 50,000-1 odds and placed a wager on the chance that a 91 year old man like Byrd could get the 2008 nomination.

[whistle]

7. I don't see Lieberman's name on there

[Walt Starr]

11. He voted no on the bill

But I wouldn;t vote for him, either.

[Idioteque]

30. This list doesn't really bother me.

The cloture vote is what really pisses me off. Every single Dem could have voted no and it still would have passed. The Democrats that voted to end debate and let this trash get an up or down vote are on my shit list.

Lieberman voted YES on cloture. >_<

[beyurslf]

12. Yes. Even with Lieberman on the ticket I would vote for the Dem

ticket. You always have to look at the persons you are voting against as well....

[fresnobill314]

13. Money is bi-partisan....

...when it comes to buying votes.

[pstans]

14. Yes

because I would not vote for a Republican and it is vital that a Democrat wins in 2008 or the US will turn into a northern version of Mexico.

[Yosie]

15. There is one good point about the Bankruptcy Bill

now that they have killed class actions -- it means lawyers have to sue creditor banks the old fashion way -- one client at a time, and one count on each possibly illegal or usurious charge. More expensive for the banks this way --------

I have laid it out here--->

Sue the illegitimati :bounce:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

16. What if one of them had been running against Bush?

Would you sit out and not fight? Would you vote for Bush out of protest? I'm just curious.

Me? I would have voted for my dog if he were the one running against Bush last election.

[ralps]

18. Heck no, I want to get another democrat to oppose Herb Kohl in 2006

in Wisconsin. The only person or bill he has opposed in this session is Albertp Gonzales. He voted for Rice, Chertoff, and for The Class Action (Extreme Un)Fairness Act of 2005 :nuke: :puke: :mad:

[seriousstan]

19. Don't forget Hillary. She didn't have the guts to vote after having

voted to limit the debate.

[rzemanfl]

23. She had a pretty good excuse for not being there. n/t

[seriousstan]

26. And what was her excuse for the vote to limit debate?

[rzemanfl]

28. Didn't have one. n/t

[WillowTree]

31. She didn't HAVE one?

Try telling that to her husband, who had major surgery today, OK?

[rzemanfl]

35. Read the posts, I said she had a "pretty good excuse" for not

voting on the day of her husband's surgery, I was then asked about her excuse her previous vote and said he didn't have an excuse for that.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

25. I'm willing to give her a pass.

She was with Bill in the hospital.

[NNguyenMD]

20. NO NOT DANIEL INOUYE!!!! DANIEL SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!

he voted against the war resolution too! someone has to tell him to put down the cool aid.

[eridani]

37. That one shocked the bejeezus out of me n/t

[Cuban_Liberal]

21. Yes, I would.

The very worst of them are better than the best the Republicans have in the bull pen.

[Liberty Belle]

24. Not in the primary. In a general election,

I'd vote for Mickey Mouse over a Republican for president.

[hansolsen]

27. No -- let's nominate someone who is not from the Senate. Senators

have too much baggage. Let's run with a govenor or non politician.

[MadHound]

29. Good corporate Dems all of them

:puke:

So to answer your question, no. In fact the only way to rid of this is to start voting for candidates who take NO corporate donations. The only Democratic presidential candidate in the last election to do that was Kucinich. The only one outside of the Democratic party was Cobb, and the Greens take no corporate cash period.

To vote otherwise is to continue to let corporations set our political and societal agenda, no matter who is in office, money interests will trump what is good and right for the people almost every time. We need to face the truth that the interests of K street and Wall Street and every single big money interest is put before the interests of voters.

Now the question is, are the people ready to get behind a candidate who isn't a pawn of Corporate America? It is high time we did, otherwise we are going to continue to get what Corporate America paid for.

In order to break this stranglehold of corporate lucre, we must be able to lay out for a candidate the amount of cash needed for a campaign. Last election, if all was said and told, the presidential run was between 200 and 300 million. So, we would have to get out aprox. 30 million people to commit to ten dollars apiece. I think we could do that. Dean did show us the viability of internet cash raising, let's take it to the next level.

The other thing we could do, difficult as it would be in these times of 'Pug controlled states, is to work on getting each and every single state to have publicly financed election campaigns. Four states already have it to one degree or another, and others are working on it. It will be one more way for Americans to take back their country from the interests of big money.

You don't like the effects that corrosive corporate cash has on our government? Well let us start working to take corporate cash out of the equation. Make it known that you will only support candidates who fore-go corporate support, give as generously as you can to those candidates, and work like hell for publicly financed elections. Otherwise we will continue to our so called representatives cave in to their corporate masters time after time after time ad nauseum

[NoPasaran]

32. Yup

Straight ticket from the White House down to Constable!

[lonestarnot]

34. HELL FUCKING NO! They need to pack it up! n/t

[amjucsc]

36. Yes

So long as they're left of Lyndon Larouche (and if it was against a sufficiently vile Republican, then I'd at least think about it.)

[fujiyama]

38. Yes

but I'd have to hold my nose or have some alcohol to do it.

This is a tough one to excuse...This is quite possibly worse than voting for the Bush tax cuts...

One of my senators is on that list. She's still better than the puke she replaced, but that' not sayin much. A pile of dog shit would make a better senator than the one she replaced.

that said, she'll get my vote, but not a dime or a second's worth of campaigning.

[JNelson6563]

39. Considering I voted for a guy who supported Jr's war

I guess I could vote for one of these.
