Gonzales vote - Is anyone keeping track

[whometense]

of the no votes? I've missed a fair amount of the debate so far, but here's my tally (this is only people I've heard say they intend to vote no with my own ears. I assume we can safely add Kennedy, Kerry, Boxer, and a host of others as well, but I don't know for sure.) Please add away!

Mikulski
Schumer
Durbin
Jeffords

1. The eight that already voted no in Committee.

Feingold
Feinstein
Biden
Kennedy

[whometense]

2. Thanks!

And Leahy just mentioned:

Stabenow
Dayton

I'd forgotten them. Ooops.

[Pirate Smile]

3. I just read that Ben Nelson said he will vote FOR Gonzales.

I bet Bayh is a NO since he voted against Rice already.

[whometense]

4. Have you heard anything

on Kerry's position? I assume he's a no, but haven't heard anything from him.

Leahy - NO

[Pirate Smile]

6. No, I haven't heard ANYTHING. My Internet was down for 36 hours

and I felt so lost and isolated. It is really pathetic how addicted and dependent I am to this connection to the world.

It came back up this morning (cable company was switching servers or adding a new one and it took much, much longer then they said it would take).

[whometense]

7. I know,

isn't it awful?? But then again, as addictions go, not so bad...:)

[Pirate Smile]

5. Kohl and Durbin.

Two more no votes from the Committee.

[whometense]

8. One more -

Patty Murray http://murray.senate.gov/news.cfm?id=231221

[whometense]

9. Boxer too

http://boxer.senate.gov/news/record.cfm?id=231270

[whometense]

10. Sounds like

Jack Reed (RI) is heading towards a no too.

[TayTay]

12. Thanks for the updates

Very busy at work today. Hard to post. Thank gawd for lunch.

[LittleClarkie]

11. What I wanna know is if Kerry will be speaking

if not today, tomorrow maybe?

Or maybe he will just let his nay speak for him again.

[whometense]

13. I'd like to know too.

But haven't heard a peep about him. I did hear that Feingold and Byrd are scheduled to speak later today.

[TayTay]

14. If so, it's tomorrow

I'm not sure he's going to speak, but I would guess he is. Why not? He did a fine job of pissing off the Rethugs on the weekend with their imaginary takes on things he didn't say in the MTP interview. Why stop now? Actually say something that they can misconstrue as helping the insurgents.

I am so proud of MA. Pissing of Rethugs everywhere we go in the Senate. Yeah us!

[Pirate Smile]

16. Yes, C-span has had that on the bottom of the screen occasionally.

[GRLMGC]

15. I heard Saxby Chambliss talking out of his ass earlier

Does he seriously expect people to believe that Gonzales didn't approve of torture when its in a FUCKING MEMO??? I swear, these fuckers just make up their own reality.

[whometense]

17. Leahy said earlier

that they're alternating 1 hour dems, 1 hour repugs. Makes it easier to know when to tune back in. It's the second half of repug hour now.

[ginnyinWI]

18. Al Franken is talking about Dick Durbin, if anyone's interested n/t

[JohnKleeb]

19. Hmmmmmmm

Y'all said Kerry was speaking tommorow, hmmmm maybe there's something for me to do tommorow after all. Still havent got my internship and yes I am pissed.

[TayTay]

20. We don't know that

We were guessing. I think it is a reasonable guess, but stil a guess.

Speakers have not yet been announced.

[Laurab]

21. I'm hoping he does, too

I don't think they originally planned all day tomorrow for debate, but now they do, so there must be quite a few who have asked to speak.

Did anyone else catch Byrd's line about shrub crowning himself?

[whometense]

22. A new day, added to the honor roll

Chris Dodd

Take that, Joementum.

[whometense]

23. Add

Jeff Bingaman
Maria Cantwell

Did I miss anyone? My computer's been misbehaving all day. :argh:

[ginnyinWI]

24. Don't know

I stopped counting when I realized it would be eveyone but Salazar. :)

[whometense]

27. Is that for sure? n/t

[TayTay]

25. Obama is a no!

Barack Obama is a no as well.

[whometense]

26. Also,

Tim Johnson (SD)

[TayTay]

28. Yeah!

DKos had this total list:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/2/2/184350/6634

Kerry is, of course, listed as a no!

[whometense]

29. Well, it's not like I thought

Kerry would vote for him, but it's still nice to see it in print.

[TayTay]

31. He might not speak

He might let Teddy K speak instead. Teddy is the one on the Judiciary Committee. I could be wrong (and hope I am.)

[whometense]

32. It may be another of those

lightning rod things - keep his powder dry until it's needed. He's clearly one of a big group here, so they don't need his leadership on this one.

[whometense]

30. Joementum is up

I'm all atingle with anticipation...

OH MY GOD - he's voting to CONFIRM. Where is his brain? He's become the kinder, gentler ZELL.

Sounds like he's gotten a lot of requests to vote no. he's spending a lot of time justifying himself. Good luck, Mr. Torture Apologist.

I'm really PO'd - even if I'm not surprised.

[Pirate Smile]

33. It must have been that kiss from Georgie last night.

:eyes:

[angrydemocrat]

34. I seen that nasty shit

That was as sickening as it gets same with kissy kissy with McCain during the campaign. GROSS!!

[ginnyinWI]

35. Joe voted YES???

Ugh this is unbelieveable. He's no Democrat. Now we have two yes votes...and they will be able to say it is bi-partisan! To think he was running for VP with Al Gore and I voted for him. :grr:

[Pirate Smile]

36. He not only votes Yes but he lectures the Dems who vote no also.

:puke:

[ginnyinWI]

[whometense]

42. Well,

they all SUCK. And I don't use that word lightly.

Were there ANY repugs who voted no, or are those just the dems listed? God, I really can't believe McCain voted pro-torture.

I wonder how much they gave him for his soul.

[angrydemocrat]

43. All The Republicans Voted Yes

And I have to say some say they weren't shocked by McCain's vote but I have to admit I was especially after all he went through himself in Vietnam. It is a damn shame what has happen to McCain it truly is.

[ginnyinWI]

45. all the Pubs voted yes. even McCain. n/t

[karynnj]

44. Do Bush's kisses lead to mind control

McCain, Lieberman Inqiring minds want to know - Keep the rest of the Democrats away from Bush as a precaution (:
