Democratic sponsors of Censure - For Bill Clinton (firedoglake)
Bill at Liberal Oasis reminds us that when Diane Feinstein proposed her censure resolution for Bill Clinton's extra-marital blow job she had a number of Democratic co-sponsors who are still in the Senate:

Daniel Akaka
Max Baucus
Byron Dorgan
Dick Durbin
Dianne Feinstein
Daniel Inouye
Jim Jeffords
Ted Kennedy
John Kerry
Herb Kohl
Mary Landrieu
Carl Levin
Joe Lieberman
Blanche Lincoln
Barbara Mikulski
Patty Murray
Jack Reed
Harry Reid
Jay Rockefeller
Chuck Schumer
Ron Wyden

Of course there were four Republican co-sponsors as well: Pete Domenici, Mitch McConnel, Gordon Smith and Olympia Snowe. But we'll just asume that these members of the GOP Ladies' Smelling Salt Society do, in fact, find a little bj action to be more objectionable than illegally spying on American citizens (so complex and hard to wrap their feeble little heads around). So we will just leave them to their lavender-scented hankies and not expect too much of them.

The rest of them -- WTF?

:wtf:

1. Weren't they going for censure to thwart impeachment?

2. Yes but remember that thwarts the purpose of this particular argument
So please don't mention it again.

If there's one thing Democrats and Republicans agree on it's that Demcorats suck!

8. LOL! Pretty funny observation actually
It's like Sean Connery's character in "Capone" asking Elliot Ness if he is willing to do what is required to win. Gain the world and lose your soul.

"Censure, then move on..."

10. Yes, because they could then say that what
Clinton did was wrong, but not worthy of impeachment.

9. I'm not talking about anything, just quoting Jane from firedoglake
And I see now that someone else posted this story from KOS. Liberal Oasis caught it as well.

6. At least they were doing SOMETHING
Instead of sitting around with their fingers up their butts like they are now.

I see no comparison between what Bush has done and what Clinton did, yet we get nothing from them now. WHY? Why is it a President like Bush can lie, cheat, steal, start wars without cause, make inappropriate appointments, etc., and these people won't do a thing to stop it?

Feingold is the only one with the morals, ethics and courage to stand up for what's right. The rest of them are cowards, and they need to go find something else to do BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOBS! That includes Republicans as well as Democrats! :mad:
