[babylonsister]

[katmondoo]

1. Wont support Gonzales

[McCamy Taylor]

2. Go Obama! Dont often see a freshman with such guts!

:toast:

[saracat]

5. He didn't have any last week.

I am glad he isn't supporting torture boy, but he shouldn't have voted for Rice. But I am not supposed to say anything.He gave a great speech at the convention.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

15. No he didn't. There was our presidential nominee himself

spelling out the reasons for not supporting Rice, along with quite a formidable array of other Senators, and yet he voted 'yes'. In a safe Democratic state.
I don't get it.

[saracat]

19. Thank You.

[returnable]

3. Obama? He's still around?

I thought he was run out of office by the DU Bandwagon Bandits weeks ago :hi:

[Darknyte7]

14. They tried...

Thankfully, another vote came along so he could redeem his self. /sarcasm

[Ipn288]

4. Since Dems have said there won't be a filibuster

Gonzalez will be confirmed in a vote today or not?

[ThorsHammer]

6. Please post more for those of us w/o access to a TV....

[babylonsister]

7. He was on only briefly, but he's so

well-spoken; it's nice to hear. Obama votes 'no'. Schumer is up now, and he's also a 'no'. From what I've heard, the only dem I recall that will vote yes is Salazar (?) from Colorado.
And yes, I believe the vote will be held this afternoon. He'll get in, but not w/o people smearing him and getting that on the record.

[ThorsHammer]

8. Thanks (nt)

9. You can watch online here ...

12. Thanks for the link, I never knew about that.

[i miss america]

17. Glad to help

[Q]

10. Obama and any other Democrat who votes NO on Gonzales...

...should be praised for their vote. However...those who vote FOR him should be voted out of office in the next election and replaced with a Dem with a spinal column.

[loudsue]

24. We can't vote 'em out, Q ..... we didn't vote 'em IN!!

Until that mess gets straightened out, we're dead in the water. The next election will see republicans taking the seats that Democrats fill now.

:kick:

[AlCzervik]

11. I'm watching and i have to say that those who won't vote for him

are doing a very good job, very eloquent and serious. i watch a lot of cspan and some of this is the best i've seen.

[Wind Dancer]

13. Who else is speaking today?

[AlCzervik]

16. I heard Shumer and Cantwell

[Matariki]

18. What did Cantwell have to say?

Murray and Cantwell *better* vote against him. (I'm from Washington). Sometimes they have spines, sometimes they disappoint.

[CWebster]

21. Cantwell was brief but fantastic

Went after him on Enron and had a big bright sign propped up behind her spelling out: Enron Fraud.

Carl Levin up now. Good, as expected.

[AlCzervik]

23. She didn't let you down at all

Right when she got up to the podium one of her aides put a blueboard behind her with huge letters spelling...ENRON. She was most excellent.

[Wind Dancer]

20. Thanks. n/t

22. Re: Obama

Good. Glad to hear he has some guts. I was very dissapointed in his vote for Rice.
