[lonestarnot]

1. Landrieu peppie le peeu. I've had enough of her for a lifetime.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. She changed her vote twice. nt

[autorank]

64. Remember her moment of truth during Katrina with that CNN guy ...Anderson something

Where she was being smug about all the * support etc. she was getting and he kirked out.

I think he was standing near some dreadful scene and he just blasted her.

She's a big loser, imho.

[me b zola]

2. The list, with a few exceptions, is a who's who...

of the usual suspects.

[Me.]

4. Yep

I am disappointed in McCaskill, Webb, Mikulski and Klobuchar. As for the group in general, I'd have to say my feelings are, I'm done with them. After the hearing this week they would vote to put Gonzales in charge of spying on us! It doesn't even compute.

[Octafish]

55. Surprised to see Webb.

Let down, too.

[autorank]

65. We're still a minority party. n/t

[TheDebbieDee]

3. Rookie Senator McCaskill voted for this?

My Senator McCaskill? Oh, Claire. How could you? Say it ain't so, Claire!

And WTF is up with Feinstein? Earlier this week she casts the deciding vote to allow some rascist nominee for a federal judgeship to go forward. Now she votes to allow that walking shit-bag in the Oval office to continue his illegal spy program.

[givemebackmycountry]

7. I'm from KC too Deb -

When I saw that I was like WHAT?
:wtf: :cry: :shrug:

She's got sum 'splaining to do.

[Inkyfuzzbottom]

13. DAMN

Claire, WTF were you thinking? No more McCaskill signs in my yard at election time. NEVER again. DAMN you Claire! :wtf:

[fooj]

21. Feinstein is my Senator. Welcome to my world.

Grrrrrrrr...

:grr:

[ComerPerro]

25. McCaskill is a first term Senator from a Conseravtive state

[Neecy]

32. Missouri isn't all that conservative

They're about to throw out their GOP governor, who's currently behind in the polls against his Democratic challenger even in the Ozarks.

KC and St. Louis are Democratic strongholds.

My sister was a ward leader for McCaskill in KC and she's beyond furious this morning - just livid.

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. I just sent out a mass email to our political groups here in KC

Many of us literally gave up our lives last summer and fall to work on Claire's campaign. This is so revolting. First Boyda, now McCaskill. Makes me wonder why I even belong to the Democratic party. We certainly don't have good representation from this area in DC.

[Neecy]

37. agreed

...and Dennis Moore is one of the Blue Dogs who will help pass this monstrosity in the House today.

I'm wondering if Kit "They're gonna git us" Bond strong-armed Claire yesterday. It was his bill, after all. He's a major Bush enabler and why Jackson County continues to vote for him astounds me.

[proud2BlibKansan]

39. Well, Dennis Moore did something right this week

He signed off on the letter requesting impeachment investigations for Gonzalez.

Kit Bond is a nightmare. I saw him when I was in DC in June. He was walking out of a restaurant with a woman young enough to be his daughter. And he was not walking in a sober manner. :)

[Neecy]

41. yeah, I saw that

Which makes it inexplicable that, if you have an AG corrupt enough to be impeached that you'd vote to hand him even more power to trample the Constitution. Maybe Dennis will vote against this today, although I doubt it.

Kit Bond is a boozy mess. He spoke in the Senate a couple of weeks ago and it looked like he'd had a few shots - he could barely follow his text and looked like hell. What a humiliation he is.

[proud2BlibKansan]

43. We need to have a KC area meetup

It's been awhile. And there is so much going on. We need to get our DUers together and talk about progressive issues and candidates. Time to start planning for 08 elections. There is also a lot going on at the local level.

[Neecy]

45. that sounds like a good idea

Do you know if anyone (credible) is going to challenge Roberts next year? That's one race I'd love to get involved in.

[proud2BlibKansan]

47. I have heard of several possible candidates

So I think it's a sure thing a Dem will challenge him. And the Dem party is on the rise in Kansas.

BTW, do you know about our protests at Roberts' office? Every Wed at 5 pm. College and Quivira.

[Neecy]

50. I saw that...

Wednesdays are tough for me, but I'm going to try to make it there. Roberts is pure evil and it's important to put the heat on him. Brownback is just dense and nutty, but Roberts is one of the worst Bush enablers in the Senate.

I hope the Kansas Democratic party can come up with a better candidate than Len Jones. That campaign was so sad, so doomed.

[proud2BlibKansan]

51. I am hearing more and more about Sebelius

but her term as governor isn't up till 2010. I also heard Nancy Boyda's husband. But Nancy has been such a huge disappointment.

[Hubert Flottz]

42. She campaigned for Joe Lieberman didn't she?

[Madspirit]

5. Thanks for posting this...n/t

[TahitiNut]

6. That "lesser of two evils" sure is working out, ain't it?

:eyes: Gosh ... let's make sure someone is "electable." Sure wouldn't want any short people. :puke:

[Me.]

10. Choice Between Straight Up Or On The Side

At least with the first option you know the punch is coming.

[Deep13]

8. Think there was some vote swapping with Prse. candidates...

...so they could maintain plausible deniability?

[me b zola]

19. I share that thought. n/t

[Toucano]

9. No major surprises there.

The usual suspects, mostly.

[Zomby Woof]

11. Throw in a Duggar

And you get 17.

:hide:

[cosmicdot]

12. Yahoo has roll call vote

14. You Can Access The Complete List Here

link fixed (I hope)

[countmyvote4real]

15. 16 "terra" fied DEM senators vote to trash our Constitution.

As previous posts point out, many of these votes are expected and many are shocking. All are disappointing and their further service should be held to greater scrutiny. This vote is liken to any previous votes supporting "the Patriot Act."

The 60-28 roll call by which the Senate voted to temporarily give President Bush expanded authority to eavesdrop on foreign terrorists without court warrants.

On this vote, a ''yes'' vote was a vote to give Bush that authority and a ''no'' vote was a vote to deny him that authority.

Voting ''yes'' were 16 Democrats, 43 Republicans and 1 independent.

Voting ''no'' were 27 Democrats, 0 Republicans and 1 independent.

Here they are again:

Arkansas
01 Lincoln (D) Yes.
02 Pryor (D) Yes

California
03 Feinstein (D) Yes

Colorado
04 Salazar (D) Yes.

Delaware
05 Carper (D) Yes.

Florida
06 Nelson (D) Yes.

Hawaii
07 Inouye (D) Yes.

Indiana
08 Bayh (D) Yes.

Louisiana
09 Landrieu (D) Yes.

Maryland
10 Mikulski (D) Yes.

Minnesota
11 Klobuchar (D) Yes.

Missouri
12 McCaskill (D) Yes.

Nebraska
13 Nelson (D) Yes.

North Dakota
14 Conrad (D)

Pennsylvania
15 Casey (D) Yes.

Virginia
16 Webb (D) Yes.




If any of these imposters represent you, then you know what you have to do to replace them in their next primary.

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. I don't live in Missouri, but I worked on Claire's campaign

This just makes me ill.

[Eric J in MN]

16. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) recently said the bridge in Minneapolis collapsed because of the Iraq War...

...diverting spending.

It's strange that she wants the man who misled America into that war to have more power.

[azurnoir]

22. Was underwhelmed with her as Dem candidate

for Senate, lets face she made her career on 2 things -

1 hamily name recognition (father was writter for the Strib)

2 when she was Hennepin County DA a true zeal for sending young men of color to prison and throwing away the key, even when they were under 18 at the time of committing the crime.

[Deja Q]

27. Then come the usual questions of what she knows, and what we need to do to know too.

:D

[djjimz]

17. email from PA going out too Casey.

Already sent my email to Casey and am going to call his office in the morning.
Casey like Spector sits too close to the fence, but at least he's not Santorum.:evilfrown:
:puke:

[Me.]

20. Welcome

And give him the business. Siting too close to the publican fence makes it too easy to slip over

[JanusAscending]

23. What happened to HOLY JOE ??

Oh, maybe he wasn't there for the vote because of today being his Sabboth ?? Otherwise,......??????????

[Me.]

24. I Only Counted Dems

He voted as you might expect

[JanusAscending]

54. Mea Culpa !

I just can't get it into my dense head that he's not one of us!(never was really) I can't understand Al Gore's choice for a VP . Maybe we're better off they didn't get inaugurated. How would you like Joe for President someday??? I know I shudder at the possibility.

[BlooInBloo]

28. What a bizarre question.

[JanusAscending]

53. SORRY!

I forgot he is no longer a Dem.(although the asshole still holds a Majority Chairmanship) THAT really is BIZARRE!! DC

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

31. He voted for it, and was listed in the roll call as an Independent.

:puke:

[Lugnut]

26. Casey

Big surprise. :sarcasm:

[BlooInBloo]

29. Gah! Not Webb!!!

[Me.]

30. Morning

:kick:

[dbt]

33. Note the FIRST TWO NAMES on the list. The shame of Arkansas!

How does a state that gave the world Johnny Cash, William Fulbright, Patsy Montana and Al Green deserve DINOs who presume to represent us?

Lincoln? Pryor? Such honorable surnames for such a scurrilous pair of SELLOUTS. You will NEVER have my vote again. EVER.

Fuck y'all.

[Me.]

36. It All Sucks

Here we were. got the dems in last year, thought we could sigh with relief, the worst of the danger was over, our leaders would take corrective action...Boy were we hoodwinked and the worst of it is, they've taken our trust and stomped it into the ground. After this week I don't trust dems any more than the others

[derby378]

38. I just KNEW Cindy Sheehan should have challenged DiFi last year...

Now California is stuck with DiFi until 2012.

On edit: I wanted to see Cindy run as a Democrat, not an independent.

[cboy4]

40. I'm surprised to Nelson's name up there. NOT!!

:puke:

[Terri S]

44. not surprised either

I wrote a SCATHING letter to him when he voted for the Military Commissions Act. It wasn't the first appalling vote he's cast, or the last, but THAT wiped out any good he had ever done before or might have done since! Big choice we had here in FL .. him or Katherine Harris! Jeez, I'm so sick of the choice between scum and scummier!!

[crazylikafox]

46. MIKULSKI!!??? WTF? Maryland is a very blue state

Why?? Does she think she has a pass? I've been a die-hard democrat for almost 50 years. Always vote. Always send money. This is the last straw. No more money for the Senate, no more support for Miss Barb. It's time for her to go.

[tabasco]

56. I can't believe Mikulski is on the list. My God.

I handed out pamphlets for Hubert Humphrey when I was 13 years old but I don't know what it means to be a Democrat anymore.

[in_cog_ni_to]

48. The USUAL culprits...except WEBB? CASEY? McCASKILL???? Amy Klobuchar surprises me too!

SHAME ON THEM ALL!

[dkofos]

49. TREASONOUS BASTARDS

[Jack Rabbit]

52. Shame on each and every one of them

period.

[autorank]

57. Notice: I'll have a surprise interpretation of these events in about one hour;)

[Me.]

58. That Be Welcome

Info is power

[autorank]

63. Well put this 'info power' in the pipe and fire it up. Tres good news!

59. Webb's going to hear from me pronto. I worked my ass off trying to get

everyone to vote for him here locally, gave him money I don't have, voted for him - and now this? I'm so shocked and disappointed in his vote and really feel I'm due an explanation for how he can have so little respect for our Consititution and freedoms. Plus to let this criminal AG have ANYTHING to do with supposedly keeping his crooked boss from breaking any law is unconscionable.

I'm sorry to say I'm worried that his original Repuke leanings are starting to bleed through.

[madfloridian]

60. Senate New Democrats...

if you can find a list you will see I am basically right.

[Me.]

61. I Don't Doubt It

However could you explain in a little more detail as I think I am missing something here?

[madfloridian]

62. Can't find a list of the Senate New Democrats...

Can't find a total list. Appears to be treated secretively. I know who a lot are because I knew who formed the original group because of Bob Graham's ties to it. I found a little. DLC took it off their website...the names that is.

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Senate_New_Democrat_Coalition

""The Senate New Democrat Coalition (SNDC) was founded in Spring 2000 by Senators Evan Bayh (IN), Bob Graham (FL), Mary Landrieu (LA), Joseph I. Lieberman (CT) and Blanche Lincoln "to provide a unified voice in the U.S. Senate for progressive ideas, mainstream values, and innovative, market-based policy solutions."

By December 1, 2001, the SNDC became "the strongest and most unified Democratic group in the Senate. With long-time leaders like John Breaux (LA), and a strong class of freshman from the class of 2000 -- including Jean Carnahan (MO), Tom Carper (DE), Ben Nelson (NE), Bill Nelson (FL) and Debbie Stabenow (MI)," SNDC's ranks expanded to 20 members. <1> "

The links no longer work. But they are a powerful group that is holding us back from acting like Democrats, the opposing party.

Anyone have a reliable full list?

Free trade was one reason they were formed."

http://www.ndol.org/ndol_ci.cfm?contentid=250061&kaid=103&subid=111

"The SNDC's legislative agenda focuses on, among other priorities: free-trade initiatives, policies that foster the new economy, fiscal responsibility and greater investments in national security. Of particular note, the SNDC has been pushing to reform federal education policy and improve public schools by simultaneously expanding choice and competition, demanding greater accountability, and increasing investment. The New Democrat "3R's" bill, sponsored by Senators Lieberman, Bayh and Landrieu, among many others, is aimed at overhauling Washington's role in assisting schools and disadvantaged students. The bill is the foundation of the bipartisan education bill that recently passed both chambers and is supported by President Bush."
