Feingold, Kohl, and Leahy To Vote For Roberts.....

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Let the barbecue begin....

[WI_DEM]

1. Oh, NO!! Feingold is a DINO too!!!!!!!

I can just hear it now.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. LOL

eom

[BrklynLiberal]

2. Why??????????????

If they are going to get in via Repuke votes, why should they have the satisfaction of getting Dem votes as well? I just don't get it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Cus We're Holding Our Fire For If And When Bush Nominates A True Wingnut!

eom

[jonnyblitz]

13. last i checked Roberts IS a true wingnut.

:shrug:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. He Came Off As Reasonable Whether He Is Or Isn't...

He couldn't be Borked....

[KittyWampus]

7. The LINE Is "Roberts Doesn't Present An Ideological Bias" So The Next

candidate Bush puts up better freaking NOT BE AN IDEALOUGE.

[whistle]

4. This is too much!

[jwirr]

5. So much for the feingold for president bull!

[stray cat]

9. He definitely still has my vote

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I Didn't Think He Had A Bat's Chance In Hell Anyway...

but he does follow the beat of his own drummer...

The only no on the Patriot Act... A no on the IWR, a yes on Ashcroft...

He's a maverick for sure...

[WI_DEM]

16. why?

he's against the war and has even indicated a deadline to send the troops home. He votes 99% of the time against Bush. I could still vote for Feingold in a heartbeat especially against many of the other democrats who are mentioned as possible candidates.

[montanacowboy]

8. Ha Ha ....they are keeping their powder dry...right?

saving up the the BIG FIGHT..RIGHT?

THE BIG FIGHT THAT NEVER COMES?

THIS PARTY IS A JOKE

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. If Feingold Worried About Public Opinion He Wouldn't Have Been

The Only Senator To Vote Against The Patriot Act...

[tx_dem41]

10. DSB, you wicked...

flamemeister, you! ;)

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. FEINGOLD??&^%$#@ Know why? Because he's running for PRESIDENT

and doesn't want to give the repukes any fodder to use against him in '08. :grr::grr::grr: And LEAHY! Man this pisses me off! Yellow-bellied assholes! They don't care about women. They don't care about minorities. They don't care about the disabled. This is BULLSHIT! Just on PRINCIPLE alone, they should vote against that man. HE DIDN'T ANSWER ANY OF THEIR DAMN QUESTIONS! WHAT THE FUCK! OK, now my blood pressure is sky high. :nuke:

[Freddie Stubbs]

17. But Kohl and Leahy are not running for President

Perhaps these people actually believe that voting to confirm is the right thing to do.

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. What could possibly be right about it? The man SHOULD NOT BR SUPREME COURT

JUSTICE. It's as simple as that. NO Democrat should be voting for him. Period. His damn wife runs a fucking ANTI-ABORTION ORGANIZATION for crying out loud! I guess being a woman, this is just more important to me. :grr:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. he's not responsible for his wife's activities

eom

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. Right. And he doesn't support her activities either.

:eyes:

[Kingofalldems]

25. So I guess you like Roberts?

Not surprising.

[Freddie Stubbs]

26. I never said that I liked Roberts

Don't put words into my mouth.

[Kingofalldems]

27. I did not put words in your mouth

I gave my opinion based on your numerous posts on the subject. And none of them gave any hint that you objected to him.

[Freddie Stubbs]

28. Did I 'give any hints' that I liked him?

Oh course I have posted a lot on the subject. It it the second biggest story in the US right now.

[tx_dem41]

18. Has there ever been a Democrat that hasn't been called a DINO...

on DU? I think there must be about only 3 or 4 Democratic politicians that haven't. Makes you wonder if this is really DEMOCRATICunderground?

[SaveElmer]

31. You noticed that huh ?

People have it in their heads that Democrats will vote how they want 100% of the time...and when they don't...they are traitors, or DINO's, or some other nasty thing!!!

[faithnotgreed]

20. so feinstein is voting no but leahy and feingold are a yes????

something isnt right here
at all

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. maybe all of them are voting their conscience or the will of their

constituents or some combination of the two...

[faithnotgreed]

23. there doesnt seem to be any logical explanation

and i include your options in that as well

feinstein gives very mixed messages but leans more republican
but leahy?

thats the one i dont get
he is quoted saying repeatedly that " i will have to take him (roberts) at his word"
it makes no sense

thats what a hearing process is about besides the fact how on earth does that response fly
this is about something crucial andi know they dont have the votes to not confirm but even kerry is voting no
man i think even BIDEN said he is voting no

his words are more like joe liebermans than patrick leahy

again
it makes no sense

never did i think leahy would be on one side and kerry/biden/feinstein on another and that i would be on the side of the latter

he isnt risking anything by voting no and it makes no sense
something better be revealed about this because its bizarre (when youre talking about something this important)

[WildEyedLiberal]

29. Kerry's voted against all of the controversial nominees this year

Rice, Gonzales, Owens, Bolton (had he come up for a vote), and now Roberts. Unlike Feinstein and Biden. A bit unfair to lump him in with them, isn't it?

[faithnotgreed]

32. point taken - dont mean to lump kerry in with biden or feinstein

very true that kerry has voted far better than they (or most democrats) have

[B Calm]

30. They are holding out for a bigger fight down the road..

My GOD when in the hell are democrats going to grow balls!
