[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. DLC?

[Skidmore]

2. Aww, don't pick on the DLC. They're just trying to look out

for you and your family.

[MADem]

3. Gee whiz, no Obama, I notice

Despite all the efforts in the last day to get everyone calling his office, when they would have been better off calling ANY asshole on the list above.

Sheesh.

[TahitiNut]

7. I called Stabenow. I was VERY clear.

:grr:

[Pathwalker]

23. Debbie, Debbie, Debbie - you're 20 pts. ahead

in the latest poll - WHY???? How could you do this???

[spanone]

16. This website shows Obama voted nay....see below

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=2&vote=00259#position

[MADem]

21. Yeah, I know--I said' NO OBAMA, I notice'--but yesterday, there was

a "whip 'em into a frenzy" movement here to have everyone call Obama and whine about him wanting to vote FOR this piece of shit legislation.

It was a total waste of time and energy, and it was bullshit. I opined that people would be better off registering their anger with GOP senators, because at least there was no question which way they were gonna vote.

[bvar22]

25. Maybe all those calls worked !

They certainly didn't hurt.
The activists can claim victory here.

[MADem]

44. No, he had no intention of voting FOR torture--it was a waste of time

The time should have been spent calling and faxing GOP senators, and Dems who were ON THE BALLOT this year.

The activists can claim that they wasted everyone's time based on one report that had no additional verification.

But hey, it sure created a load of heat, and absolutely no light.

[KyndCulture]

4. Anyone surprised by anyone on the list?

Menendez kinda surprised me.

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. Stabenow made me want to vomit.

[MADem]

11. He's on the ballot--scared of being called a girlyman by BushCo

If they're up for reelection it makes it more of a fear factor. The smearing commercials, the snarky remarks.

We really need a few politicians who will stand up and say FUCK YOU, George.

[femrap]

29. When is this 'Macho Crisis' going to stop?

It's killing the entire planet.

[MADem]

46. I dunno....but I don't think it would hurt to have a bit more female

representation on the Hill and in the Executive Branch. This does seem to be a case of "too many balls" getting in the way....of sanity, of restraint, of diplomacy, and of peace on earth.

[me b zola]

17. Both Stabenow & Menendez surprised me

Rockerfeller did too. There were a few that I thought might do the right thing, like Lantenburg(sp).

[BlueEyedSon]

32. yeah, those 3...WTF???

[latebloomer]

20. I am SHOCKED by Menendez, and Lautenberg as well!

Had this silly idea I could count on the NJ Dems.

And Menendez wants my vote? I am not so sure.

[Straight Shooter]

34. Menendez up against Kean, Jr.

Doesn't have confidence enough to run on moral issues, so he runs on fear. Don't want to look weak on the WOT, so he manages to look really really feeble in standing up against bush.

If they can't protect us from the GOP, how can they protect us from the terrorists?

Rockefeller surprised me the most. :wtf:

[slipslidingaway]

42. My Menendez vote? I am not so sure either, new press release

on his site.

http://menendez.senate.gov/newsroom/record.cfm?id=263977&


"Press Release of Senator Menendez

MENENDEZ, LAUTENBERG ANNOUNCE MORE THAN $270 MILLION IN NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROJECTS

Senators say funds will help protect Garden State, nation

Thursday, September 28, 2006


WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Robert Menendez and Frank R. Lautenberg today announced more than $270 million in funds for projects throughout the Garden State, including millions for weapons modernization, software improvements and vaccine development. The funds, included in the Department of Defense appropriations conference report, will finance projects in all geographical regions of New Jersey. The Senate is expected to consider the conference report later this week..."

[eridani]

27. Was surprised by Lautenberg and Stabenow n/t

[tblue]

30. Who would Jesus WATERBOARD?

[Tatiana]

39. Stabenow's vote is inexcusable. n/t

[TheBaldyMan]

6. Lieberman still calls himself a Democrat? n/t

[bobbolink]

8. I L-O-V-E seeing salazar on EVERY STINKING ONE OF THESE LISTS

And, to think... there were those here in CO who attacked those of us who predicted this, and worked for Mike Miles.

Come out of the woods and APOLOGIZE, DLCers!!

[LiviaOlivia]

9. Word!!

no doubt.

[patrioticliberal]

12. OOPS.. DON'T CRITICIZE HIM

You must love Rove!

</snark>

[bobbolink]

14. Yup, I LOVE Rover

Gotta come to DU to have that thrown at me.

A really good way to strenghten the party, yeah?

[patrioticliberal]

18. Oh most definitely! ZEIG HEIL!

[Bluzmann57]

10. Makes me proud to be an Iowan

Not for Grassley, but because the great Tom Harkin isn't on the list. The Honorable Senator Harkin hasn't forgotten that he represents the people of Iowa and will consider our voices. Grassley on the other hand...well, no big surprise there I suppose.

[MADem]

13. You'd never see Harkin on that list, that ain't his way

You wouldn't see a Kennedy or a Kerry on it, either.

[Ficus]

41. fellow hawkeye agrees

We're lucky to have him, and he's an asset to our party. It seems like he's not afraid to call Bush and Cheney on their crap. I think only he and boxer co-sponsored Feingold's censure res. I can't wait for him to destroy Steve King in '08.

[donco6]

15. Not surprised by Salazar.

Very disappointed, but not surprised.

And yet, I'm in heavy R Colorado. I'm lucky to have even someone who CLAIMS to be a D.

[me b zola]

19. Nelson of NE even voted against at least one of the amendments

He really is a rotten ass bastard and needs to be the next to join Lieberman-->defeated in his next primary!

[bigwillq]

22. Kick

Never forget 9/28/06
or the 12 traitors.

[bunny planet]

24. I am totally shocked at Lautenberg's vote.

Just in shock. He had nothing to lose, he's not running again, he's just sitting in for the rest of Torricelli's term. I just don't get it.
Menendez I know less about. Something tells me this has to do with the Repukes putting it out there that NJ is in play in November. I really feel that NJ is going to be this election season's version of Florida and Ohio, close enough to steal. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think I am.

[BrklynLiberal]

26. That is one vote that totally took me by surprise as well!!!

[mb7588a]

36. support for menendez, 'nuff said. nt.

[Julius Civitatus]

28. I bet they are all men of god and family values

They must be proud of what they've done today.
Next time they come to you with their "values" bullshit, remind them that they are approved torture, and made certain forms of rape legal. Oh yes, and they wiped their asses with Habeas Corpus, in place since the 1200s.

Did I mention Holy Joe is a piece of shit hypocrite?

[glitch]

31. Nice list. I hope these people travel outside the country soon.

They won't have the protection we give our "president". Wonder what kind indictments we can anticipate, for a war crime abetter? What's the penalty for that I wonder. Is a war crime abetter/cover upper subject to the same prosecution as the actual war criminal? I know collaborators were tried after WWII.
Just how soon can we expect to see these people in The Hague?

[Julius Civitatus]

33. TWELVE? TWELVE FREAKIN' DEMS? WOW!!!!

I expected three to vote for this monstrosity. Twelve? Wow, that's insane.

Someone dropped the ball on opposing this thing and enforcing a party line vote.

[kath]

37. "enforcing a party line vote"?? When the hell is the last time that

happened with the Dems? I sure can't remember.

[MADem]

45. It's fear factor--most of the chickenshits are on the ballot this year

They were AFRAID of a commercial that says "Senator (Democratic Name) is SOFT ON TERRA...He/She wants OSAMA to COME TO YOUR HOUSE....and RAPE your CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!"

See, the GOP Dunce just called the Party of FDR and Truman the Party of Cut and Run. I personally think he jumped the shark with that remark, and if he dares to say it again, outside of a GOP love-fest, it might blow back on him.

I do think it's time more people pulled a Bill Clinton and stood up and hollered "Fuck YOU." But I doubt that WILL happen until we get a majority in at least one chamber. The challenge is to GET that majority WITHOUT saying "Fuck YOU!"

[madinmaryland]

49. ITS ELEVEN!!!

Lieberman is NOT a democrat. He is a traitor!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

35. Carper heads the DLC.

:wow:

:sarcasm:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

38. What a huge surprise that Nelson (Florida) fell in with the pubs.

Well, I won't vote for Cruella, but I won't vote for Nelson either. I am FED UP with his b.s. I guess I have to abstain on the vote or else write in SKINK.

[mmonk]

40. Send them a copy. Let them know what they have gone against.

[Nutmegger]

43. The Hall of Shame is getting another kick

:kick::kick::kick::kick:

[ProgressiveFighter]

47. .

[Blue_In_AK]

48. My e-mail to Lisa Murkowski this morning

I thought you were a woman of conscience, Sen. Murkowski. I am very disappointed in your vote for the torture bill. How could you suspend habeas corpus and deny these people basic human rights? How can you be so sure that everyone who is "detained" is a guilty terrorist? We can't even get that right in our own country - that's why we have trials and appeals. Are innocent Middle Easterners any less human?

It's a sad day for America, and you should be ashamed.




**I'm DONE with these people.**
