I just want to thank you all for using your brain on in a while on voting to override the veto on stem cell research. Now sone of you may voted for this bill cause your thing stem cell research is a good
thing and having the president veto this important piece of legislation is wrong. Some of you may voted for this as a political stunt cause your going to have a tough election this fall and having voted to override the veto is showing that "your sticking it to the man". Regardless why I just want to say thank you I still hate all of you but thank you for using your brain for once.

I thank you.

1. These repukes have chosen to do their will not the public's

will. They "know better" than the majority of those they represent. I hope they are ridden long and hard.

2. How about thanking the Democrats, of whom there are many more, also. (nt)

[Daylin Byak]

3. I thank them as well

I'm doing this cause these republicans crossed the party lines and voted for this.

But yes thank you to the 183 dems that voted for this. But the 14 that sided with the "life" repukes, you can all just burn in hell.

I thank you.

4. Everybody knows somebody with a disease that could be cured.

unfortunately, it usually takes these knuckleheads firsthand personal experience before they come around to something. Better this than the usual, I suppose.

5. Nothing wrong with giving a high-five when one is due.

Now convince three more of your GOP buddies to override the veto.

[Daylin Byak]

6. How am I going to do that?

I have no GOP buddies.

[AtomicKitten]

7. I was talking to the Republicans ... I have no GOP buddies either.

8. You know what--that isn't very many, and that does NOT represent

the feeling of the country vis a vis this matter. Far more should have crossed the line.

Are every single one of these bastards up for reelection? And are none of the others who voted the opposite way on the hot seat?

[Daylin Byak]

9. Bob Ney and Mike Fitzpatrick voted for it

And there in the hot seat.

Shall I tell you more that are in the hot seat?

[MADem]

10. Yes, if you happen to have a handy list of GOP up for reelection

from the House that we can bounce off the subject line vote, I think it would be informative! It does help to sort out the craven panderers from the cynical pragmatists and the creepy "true believers" at least to some extent.

11. I only saw the Roll Call briefly before I was interrupted, but...

if I'm not mistaken, my cowardly Rep. Pinhead (R) abstained.

[LynneSin]

12. That was my republican representative Mike Castle who wrote the bill

Of course I still won't vote for him, but he's ok when it comes to republicans

13. Thank you for posting this list !

I see my Rubber Stamping Bushie Rep is not on it....Thelma Drake (VA-02) Must Go !!!!!
