Are these the only people of conscious in the US Senate?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

Akaka (D-HI)
Bayh (D-IN)
Boxer (D-CA)
Byrd (D-WV)
Dayton (D-MN)
Durbin (D-IL)
Harkin (D-IA)
Jeffords (I-VT)
Kennedy (D-MA)
Kerry (D-MA)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Levin (D-MI)
Reed (D-RI)

A bakers-dozen of heros who stood up against Rice. No Clinton, no Schumer, no Biden, and hmmmm, no Lieberman.

These Senators deserve our thanks.

1. I wish I had a senator to whom a letter would have made any sort of

difference.
(NC)

[MuseRider]

8. Me too bob but

I have found that all of them like to hear from us so I just send my letters to the congress critters from other states. They rarely reply but the times I have called I have been thanked by the staff and told that they appreciate it. For the time being that has at least given me something because mine are all Republicans and rarely even answer me anymore.

12. The two senators from Idaho

Are so steeped in the Kool-Aid that contacting them for any reason is absolutely worthless. Their replies clearly indicate they don't give a shit what I think, and why should they? Crapo was re-elected this year with over 99% of the vote. I had to *write in* a Dem candidate.

[St. Jarvitude]

21. Holy crapo!

For a while there, I thought you were making some play on words for his name...

But his name is actually Crapo!

Only a Republican...

[Left Is Write]

25. Yep. It is.

I like to call him CRAPpo, but it's actually pronounced CRAY-po.

[St. Jarvitude]

27. You could always call him "cray-poo"

The feces of either a crayon or crayfish... however you want to look at it :)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

16. Hell, mine are Democrats and they don't answer me

I think they know who I am by now.

[Floogeldy]

2. U shoulda put this on the GD board

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

3. I would, but I am allergic to GD... I get hives there

sorry

[Floogeldy]

5. I understand

But now I'm starting to get a rash.

Heh heh.

[politicaholic]

4. yes. n/t

[Lerkfish]

6. you mean everyone else was unconscious?

sorry..couldn't resist.

I assume you meant people with a conscience.

but yes, they are.

[cali]

7. Of course not

and this kind of black and white thinking is no truer in the lounge than in it is in GD.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

17. Sorry, I don't see this as black-or-white thinking... this nomination

and subsequent approval of this particular person is an outrage unparalleled in US History.

This was the time to make a stand. Well, actually the time to make the stand was four years ago, but since they missed that time, this was the time.

It is all downhill now for the next 4. There will be no opposition of any meaningful kind to whatever ** wants.

Will it be the end of the Democratic Party? Could be.

[Dookus]

23. an outrage unpralleled in US history?

I think that's overstating it.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

28. No, I don't think nominating a war criminal who has no

qualifications whatsoever to be SecState... and in line for POTuS has happened before, do you?

[BiggJawn]

9. Bayh seems to have other motives.

At least that's the local perception....

[Left Is Write]

10. One of those Senators got my vote in 2000 when he was elected.

I hope I'm back home in time to cast my vote for him again in 2006.

[Jessica]

11. Same here ...

Only I hope he's around in 2006 (Byrd).

[La Lioness Priyanka]

13. no

some people like fighting for things there is a remote chance in winning...

[FuzzySlippers]

14. Yay! One of my senators,Tom Harkin,

is on the list. He's a really good guy.

[elperromagico]

15. And not a Republican in the lot.

Surprise, surprise.

[Zomby Woof]

18. Conscience, perhaps

:-) Just a gentle correction... please take no umbrage.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

22. Okay, okay... The PhD used the wrong word.... is everyone happy?

So stop the PM's, the IM's and such... thank you.

I MADE A MISTAKE!

no umbrage, just a brainfarct!

[Longgrain]

19. Yeah, I got a full house!

Both my Senators are up there.:thumbsup:

[bigwillq]

20. Thank you, Senators!

My senators suck, yeah, I'm talking about you Joementum. :mad:

[Kat45]

24. Both of my senators are up there. (MA)

And I heard Kennedy on the radio today saying he has a real problem with Gonzales and he hopes that when others learn more about him they will get on board.

[elperromagico]

26. No Obama either.

Ahh well.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

29. Yeah, how long does his honeymoon last, anyway?

That is twice he sat on his hands.
