You go Barbara! You're my Senator!!

[frylock]

40. stj brings it on!!!

[RedSock]

45. so was boxer the only one?

or was there a second?

[Justitia]

50. ONLY BOXER

Where are all the other chickenshits???

[Politicub]

53. And kucinich too

[Justitia]

57. sorry, I meant out of all the Senators. -eom

[frylock]

58. looks like boxer was the only one to sign on..

it's a damn shame that no one else had the courage to stand up with her.

[OrwellwasRight]

64. Typical though.

Apparently DNC regulars tried to talk her out of it. I'm interested to see who speaks up in the debate and who does not.

[frylock]

74. not in the least bit surprising..

I did hold out some hope that someone might join her, especially after reading KO's blog last night.

[OrwellwasRight]

83. Boxer's speech was good, though

and Pryce is just spewing ad hominem.

The Republicans refuse to have a discussion about free and fair elections. Shouldn't that say something to theri supporters? Would they ever want to be on the receiving end of the BBV?

[frylock]

108. but that's all they've got..

heaven forbid they actually address any of the complaints. :eyes:

[cally]

41. Yippeee!!!

I love you! Women rock!!!

[two gun sid]

Folks, this is history

won't change the results but, damn, the dems are standing up to chimp

[Khephra]

44. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEY HAVE THE SIGNATURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:party: :party: :party:


At least there's SOME real Democrats left.

[Just Me]

46. YYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! THEY DID IT!!! THEY DID IT!!!!

I don't care the outcome!!!

They're fighting back!!!

No more appeasing the right-wing destructo machine!!!!

[Zenlitened]

47. Wow. I just got chills. We're watching a truly historic moment!

Major kudos to the women leading this fight on our behalf!

:yourock:

[underpants]

61. I did too-House on C-Span 1 Senate on C-Span 2

:bounce:

[AlCzervik]

49. Oh God that was good!!! Almost dramatic

it makes me feel sad and hopeful at the same time. "Was it sighned by a member of the senate?" "Yes it was."

[Ouabache]

54. I think this objection NULLIFIES all the gop 'mandate' BS

finally. gop can now officially STICK their so-called 'mandate'.

[skippythwndrdog]

56. What was the point of that?

I just don't get it. Clue me in. What is the function of objecting to Ohio when it is clear that * won Ohio?

[RedSock]

59. uhhhhhhhh

we like to have honest elections we can trust? how about that?

also it is not clear that war criminal piece of shit won ohio.

[skippythwndrdog]

70. The Democratic party chair in Ham. County told me it was fair.

He said that * won legitimately. That's good enough for me. 50% of each Board of Elections in OHio is made up of Democrats. They haven't been protesting the results. Why is it that so many of my friends here on DU disagree with them, the people who would know best?

[Solly Mack]

84. when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging

[Zenlitened]

60. Funniest post of the day!

:D

[RedSock]

67. if they can stand in the rain for countless hours

i can stand here and object.

WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO

[AlCzervik]

62. You're joking right?

[kiraboo]

63. If you don't get it by now

I'm guessing you haven't been paying attention.

[AlCzervik]

69. are you directing that comment at me?

[kiraboo]

73. no, chimp. just getting used to this system. sorry! n/t

[skippythwndrdog]

77. I think he accidentally mis posted. It was to me.

Like I said a few posts ago, the Dem. Party Chair for Hamilton County told me that Bush's win was legit. 50% of each Board of Elections is Dem. None of them are objecting. I have to go with the people on the ground.

[Solly Mack]

65. oxygen deprived? high altitude sickness?

Just waking up?

[msanthrope]

66. Clear as mud......n/t

[Kolesar]

76. "it's hard work" eom

[WillyT]

82. LOL !!! - Good One !!!

:bounce:

[skippythwndrdog]

95. All over. Got a problem with that?

Call me a Freeper if you want. We'll see who's shown to be wrong. Frankly, I'm quite irritated by your insinuations. I guess that to somebody like you, anybody who doesn't comply with the DU group think, or whatever you want to call it must be an interloper. Not everybody here thinks that shrub stole Ohio, I'm one of those people. I didn't only listen to the people here, I talked to my county chair and am all but called a Freeper. Well, buddy, I got news for you. You are just plain wrong. I suggest you retract your statement now.

[Orangepeel]

75. to draw necessary attention to the need to fix voting problems

factually, there were lots of problems in Ohio. A spotlight needs to be shined on them and they need to be fixed.

[skippythwndrdog]

86. Thank you...that was the answer I was looking for.

Are you telling me that it isn't really to say that Bush didn't win, but rather to help enact vote reform in OHio?

[Orangepeel]

110. Yes. That's what I'm saying and that's what all the objectors are saying

none of them are trying to or expect to overturn the results.

[frylock]

78. clear as mud..

are you even paying attention?

[idiosyncratic]

85. Skippy The Wonder Dog hasn't been watching the news

on the Internet where you really see what is happening in the world.

It is NOT clear * won Ohio! Not even close.

[skippythwndrdog]

90. The Democratic party chair told me it was legit.

I believe him. County chair.

[Kolesar]

79. Who is this creep speaking after Rep. Tubbs-Jones?

I am listening on cspan audio and don't see titles.

[frylock]

81. rep. deborah pryce - ohio

[gumby]

87. ooogly, ooogly, ooogly

that was one ugly speech. ack.

[frylock]

93. it was hateful..

and never once addressed anything brought up by STJ. Just a load of ad hominem BS.

[phylny]

112. No kidding. Please don't tell me it's the Democratic members of Congress

causing a division in this country.

I'm listening to the nastiness coming from Republicans, and all I can do is shake my head in disbelief.

Nasty, nasty, nasty.

[Just Me]

80. PRYCE SHOULD STOP HER WHINING!!!!

WAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAA!!!!

:cry:

[Solly Mack]

88. couldn't resist a dig at Michael Moore could she?

lololol

[RedSock]

91. minnesota dem dayton

disagrees

"dangerously midguided"

F U.

[bluedeminredstate]

89. Conspiracy Theory!!

Oh goody! I was waiting for someone like DeWHINE to say those words!!!

[Just Me]

92. Conyers: DEFENDER OF DEMOCRACY!!! n/t

[RedSock]

97. look at the men's hair

and you can tell what party they belong to.

all the R have helmet hair.

[two gun sid]

101. Funny since most of the repugs have never had a helmet on

[Kolesar]

98. my cspan audio feed has an echo

these republicans are doubly annoying. Anyone else?

[Just Me]

111. PROTECTOR OF THE PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO VOTE!!!

The CONSCIENCE of our weak republic!!!

[two gun sid]

94. Who does Conyers think he is?

chimp and crew don't have to answer to the people!

[frylock]

96. bernie sanders is fuckin ruling!!!

that was SICK! :bounce:

[RedSock]

99. he was mayor in burlington

he is the man (though i did not like him saying he is sure * won ohio)

[gumby]

100. NO!! Rep. Blunt

You were not all "elected." Rigged voting machines put many of you there.

[OrwellwasRight]

105. Blunt just said we have a system "no one would believe

works unteil they see the result they wanted."

WTF does this mean?

[otohara]

107. Shut Up Democrats

nothing to see here, move on, get over it.

[Radical Activist]

103. And CNN is still covering the Tsunami

They broke away for a whole three minutes!

I loved that the "reporter" had to bring up F911 and the fact that the media ignored the story last time. It lets you know they would ignore it completely this time if they could get away with it.

[bluedeminredstate]

104. Quislings!!

I can't believe what I'm hearing in the Senate. Well, at least we know what to expect for the next four years. Meet the same boss...

[4MoreYearsOfHell]

106. roy blunt insinuating that

this exercise is a waste of time...

[Khephra]

109. I'd say it's time to start thread two

[otohara]
