Dodd--Biden--everyone else?

1. never mind..

[Sparkly]

2. Dodd's "troubled"

but voting to confirm anyway.... :eyes:

[Benhurst]

3. Give the President whomever he wants for his "family." Bu

Bush is a war criminal, so I guess according to Senator Dodd's logic he ought to have a war criminal to represent him as his PNAC stooge.

4. Biden too nt

[Spazito]

5. Sadly, after his questioning Condi re torture and her non-response...

he doesn't seem to mind sending the message that it's okay the person representing the US to the world finds torture okay and lies through her teeth. Not good!

[CWebster]

7. Its like, lets put the Holocaust behind us

and work for bi-partisan cooperation.

10. He has been speaking for 10 minutes--j

giving himself ammo to vote for her?

[2Design]

11. that is what gets me - they are rubber stamping torture in confirming

her = she was very specific she agreed with torture and ignoring the geneva conventions - this is a problem for us - the world I hope starts seeing this - because our senators are not willing to help us be a democracy with moral values - torture is not a moral value

[Grooner Five]

6. Biden: "I'm a practicing Catholic....

...which is getting harder to do as a Democrat."


What did he mean by that?

edit: wrong fellow

[blueblitzkrieg]

8. Biden said that

id guess he was referring to the election and all the critics that said kerry couldnt be a catholic and a democrat

[Grooner Five]

9. Thanks

I edited it for accuracy.

If Dems distance themselves from Catholics, they'll be giving up a natural voter base and a whole lot of people. I'm hoping that's not happening.

[CWebster]

13. Maybe the Church is distancing itself from the reality

of people's lives.

Sorry, I was born into the Catholic faith but I do not advocate the man made doctrine of the patriarchy.

[Spazito]

14. Well said!

I agree, I have faith, I DO NOT have religion.

[Rose Siding]

12. What does he think this capitulation purchases?

It will fit into yet another vainglorious floor speech. "She had my support and look what she did with it" -after the INEVITABLE ensuing screw-ups.

They knew Ashcroft was a loon when they confirmed him. What is the motivation? They get nothing for it (for US, which should be their consideration!)

Why not a simple, congenial 'My vote in this is inconsequential and superfluous. Godspeed to you' and vote NO?
