Will our senators make us proud, ever?

[mrgorth]

Let's see. Sold us out on the Bankruptcy Bill. Sold us out on ANWR. What other reamings do our Judases have planned for us? Anyone?:grr:

1. They made me proud

The majority are fighting their hearts out. For many, that isn't even enough. When the people who have been fighting their whole lives don't even get respect and credit, why should the other ones care?

[DaveinMD]

2. you should be proud

of all but three members today, including most of the self-proclaimed centrists.

[mrgorth]

3. You mean

Reid can't control like Frist can? I'm not sure I buy this. What sounds more likely is that they arranged this and those 3 were the ones that thought they could take an anti-environmental hit.

[DaveinMD]

4. that is very untrue

Senators aren't controlled as you say. They voted the way they felt was right. Geography played a large role in the votes as well.

7. More Republicans jumped ranks than Democrats on ANWR

Seriously--start paying attention or quit displaying your ignorance. Either way I'll be a lot happier.

[mrgorth]

8. Hey dickbag

why is it that their senators can get enough votes to do what they want but ours jump ship?

[jpgray]

10. Because they have something called a "majority"

And if you'd like to point out to me a time when all Democratic senators were united and doing the right thing on votes such as these, I'd like to see it. It's never happened; it's always been this way. Right now we barely have enough senators to stop some really bad shit from getting through, as we did last year with Bush's judicial nominees. I'm sick of seeing the whole delegation get blamed for the actions of two or three defectors.

5. They make me proud.....

but our government is hemorraghing from massive internal injuries.

6. The sound you hear is the wind whistling between mrgoth's ears

Three to five lousy senators means that all of our senators are worthless? Kennedy, Schumer, Durbin, Rockefeller and many others worked their asses off to get great amendments passed for the bankruptcy bill, and due to the actions of a few you shit all over them? All but three of our senators held ranks and voted against the ANWR nonsense, so therefore all of the democratic delegation are sell-outs? Thanks a lot, Captain Logic.

9. Most pleasently surprised me today

but I can't express how pissed I am at Landriu and Akaka especially, voting for both ANWR and the bankruptcy bill.

[Cocoa]

11. I was proud when they defeated ANWR drilling in 2003

very proud. :toast:

[Geek_Girl]

12. Most of the Democrats are making me proud

Unfortunately there's a few bad apples that need to be thrown out.

:grr:

13. Mine have made me damn proud
