GET THIS, YOU DEM SENATE CHICKENSHITS!!!

According to the latest American Research Group poll, 70% of your party's rank-and-file want you to vote for censure. Remember them? They're the ones who elected you to those high-paying, cushy jobs.

Furthermore, more voters in general favor censure than oppose it, 48-43%. That means it's NO LONGER SAFE for you to do nothing and keep your heads buried in the sand, whimpering, wailing, fearing that someone might call you soft on terrorism, and trying to make no waves until the next election.

If you clowns refuse to do anything out of personal integrity and in order to fulfill your responsibility to the Republic, then fer Chrissake do it because the people want it and they're getting pissed at you for your craven, sniveling performance failures and general wimpery, and they just may get pissed enough to take away those cushy jobs if you don't at least figure out which way the mob is going and make a show of getting out in front of it.

1. I got a real tap dance when I called my Senator

I kept my question very simple: Can you tell me where the Senator stands on Senator Feingold's Censure Resolution?

Senator Bill Nelson's office says that he is aware of Senator Feingolds resolution and is quite concerned about the legality of the Presidents wiretapping but has not made a public statement as to wether or not he agrees with censure. Tapped dancing the whole time while talking to me.

I said "well then let me give you my opinion, The President broke the law and no one in this country is above the law and I support Senator Feingold" They asked for my town and zip code and appreciated me taking the time to call.

Senator Martinez's office had a answering machine on to tell me that they are unable to answer the phone at this time and to call during regular office hours, M-F, 8:30 am to 5:00pm. They were not taking any messages. Will continue to call his office.

Keep those phone calls up, especially if you have a Dem. Senator.

[magellan]

6. His fax in Orlando is working

Didn't try any of the other offices. I assume it all reaches him eventually.

[tvfipp]

11. From Sarasota - you got it.......

The damn thing is whether or not Bill supports the movement to censure, we have to keep f*ing Harris from buying her way into office.
Martinez.......lost cause. Every time I have called that rat bastards office, I receive V.M.
They don't want to hear it they just want to "believe"

[EFerrari]

2. Terms limits.

:kick:

[Greeby]

5. What good is that?

When they come in as Repuke-lite cowards in the first place?

Besides, with term limits there'd be no Conyers, rest my case

[EFerrari]

7. Oh, Conyers would have to be exempt.

:)

[Anywho6]

3. AMEN!!! K & R!!

What you say, Jackpine!!

:kick:

[WillyT]

26. Ditto !!! - K & R !!!

:kick:

[blm]

4. Feingold has it in committee where he wants it - he's gathering support

for the debate. Why are Dems buying into the SPIN that Dem senators are against this?

It's the Republicans who wanted to rush it and vote to assure no debate. Now we have so many DUers demanding Senators NOT spend the time in committee and discuss or debate it but just get it over with it - exactly what Feingold DOESN'T want.

[jedicord]

8. But wait! Rush said today that real men don't listen to polls.

They go by their gut and do what they think is right. They don't ask for directions. Sure, they may get lost once in a while but they are MANLY!

He said Dems listen to the polls so that if things go wrong they can say "But I did what the American people said to do". Wimps!:sarcasm:

[Dr. Jones]

9. Rush - the consummate (and easily-debunked) idiot.

And the Republicans NEVER listen to polls?
:rofl:

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

10. He's Right About This One....

Repubs DON'T care about polls. They have the final say in who gets elected, and they KNOW IT.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Rush wouldn't know a 'real man' if he was having sex with him!

[Blaze Diem]

16. Unless it was O'Reilly gobbling down a fresh platter of Falafel!

Na, Rush still wouldn't know the difference

[Wheezy]

33. Falafel...the edible loofah. n/t

[Blaze Diem]

39. rub- dub-dub!!

aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Dreadful thought.

[ArbustoBuster]

27. Isn't going with your gut in this case called "truthiness"?

Good lord, he's descended into self-parody!

[Jackpine Radical]

29. Face it--Rush has a lot more gut to go with than most of us do. (nt)

[Raksha]

35. Rush is an asshole (like we needed any more proof).

"Real men" don't listen to polls? Listening to polls = listening to your CONSTITUENTS, asshole! You know, the people who ELECTED you and who can un-elect you...Diebold permitting anyway.

These are also the same people who can listen to your show or turn it off, and hopefully get YOUR big mouth cancelled from the public airwaves if enough of them turn it off.

Yeah, like Rush doesn't know that better than I do. He's a liar as well as an asshole.

[Warpy]

12. 87% think the minimum wage needs to rise

and over half want us the hell out of Iraq within a year, at the most.

These guys are completely out of touch with us, and they need to go.

I've already notified my place holder senator that I will work against him

He just doesn't think I mean it.

[MadHound]

14. But you've got to understand,

We the people aren't the constituents that our so called leaders listen or respond to. The constituents that they listen to are the ones that line their pockets with money, and that would be corporate America. If corporate America started calling for Bush's censure, they'd be all over it like stink on shit. But since Bushco has managed to stay in the good graces of corporate America, they our so called leaders aren't going to oppose him in any way, shape or form.

Welcome to the two party, same corporate master system of government.

[leftchick]

15. if they do nothing

they are fucking D O N E!

[mitchtv]

17. Called Feinstein in DC

asked her to join her base and support Russ. talked to David, he asked my Zip code

[fooj]

18. My zip code will work!

;-)

[EFerrari]

31. Or mine: 94122 n/t

[Generator]

19. If you no longer have representation

do you still have a Democracy? mmmmmm

[Individualist]

47. Government of, by and for the people

has changed to government of, by and for the corporations. :grr:

[otohara]

20. Salazar's Denver Office - 500 Calls, 2 Days, 2 Against Censure

now you just watch Ken Salazar do the opposite of what his constiuents want, AGAIN!

[Jackpine Radical]

30. Verrrreeeeee interrrresting, as Arte Johnson would say.

BTW--where did you get those numbers?

[RazzleDazzle]

21. The most farkin' clueless bunch of people I could ever imagine

They are worse than blind, deaf and dumb. They are worse than blind, deaf and dumb AND hypnotized. There is no category for what they are, no suitable description.

It's unreal.

Well, maybe zombies. You think they're zombies? Or robots?

[ladjf]

23. "Is anybody home"? What are they thinking?

[ladjf]

22. In other words, "lead, follow or get the hell out of the way."

[Hubert Flottz]

24. They don't care 'cause they know the voting is all fixed anyway.

They will get to keep their jobs if they play ball with Bushco. What other reason could there be for their gutlessness?

[SeattleRob]

25. I called Murray and Cantwell

Their staff person politely took my opinion, but gave me no word where they stand!

[stickdog]

28. Um,

YES!!!

[cassiepriam]

32. I wonder if we will ever find out why they have done nothing

to stop the destruction of Iraq and of America.

WHY WHY WHY???????? Unfathomable.

[Swamp Rat]

34. Call your sentators!!

STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT!!!

SUPPORT FEINGOLD!!!

:patriot:

[autorank]

36. Speak the truth brother, we need more of that now.

Somebody "has the pictures" as they used to say in my home town...ya know the pictures
these guys don't want anybody to see;) ...maybe attending a Jessica Simpson concert.

NEW LEADERS FOR A NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY

btw, none of this I'm going "________" (fill in the blank). I have nothing against 3rd
parties, we don't have time. We take the party back, us and the rest of the 70% who want
action. Don't need no Bahydy telling me no LIEbermans about it being a broad tent...you're
either in reality or bat farking mad. It's our party, lets take it back.

[mod mom]

40. Speaking the Truth

Hey Auto, thought you might enjoy this from Fitrakis. It is contained in an open mike blog at the Cleveland Plain Dealer's web site:

Why Bush must be charged as a war criminal

http://www.cleveland.com/open/

Dorri (mod mom)

I started posting info on PI's candidate forum.

[Barad Simith]

37. no shit

republicans in congress are finally standing up to the white house, but most of the democrats are STILL too timid to do the right thing?

[Disturbed]

38. "Republicans in congress are finally standing

up to the WH." It's just posturing to keep themselves in office. It's the votes in Congress and the deals they make that tells the real story.

[TNOE]

41. K&R

Right that with you - good rant.

[ewagner]

42. Hey Jackpine!

Check the Wisconsin forum....

At least two county Democratic organizations ENDORSED FEINGOLD'S CENSURE RESOLUTION LAST NIGHT...Wood and Marathon Counties....many other will join before this is over!

Man the barricades....

[Jackpine Radical]

43. Our county meeting got really interesting last week

with a knock down-drag out brawl over an impeachment resolution. Nobody opposed impeachment, but there was a lot of conflict over both the wording of the resolution and the wisdom of a state Senate candidate coming out with a statement about it. Some saw the motion as Quixotic, thinking we would look like irrelevant idiots for doing it.

[ewagner]

44. We had three

separate resolutions to support Feingold and...

GET THIS

A new member and (very recently) former Republican show up and

ASK US TO SUPPORT CONYERS PETITION FOR AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY!!! {/B]

[Jackpine Radical]

45. Like I been sayin' here & elsewhere,

the people are way the hell out in front of the chickenshit politicians.

[Just Me]

46. Fight now,...or lose a nation, destroy the ideal upon which that nation,..

,...was built. Obviously, we are dealing with a regime that not only exploits its own nation but also fucks all the ideals upon which that nation was built. GO FIGURE. The barbarians are, once again, abusing power over human beings, without any moral obligations or "feelings" about what they violently impose.

Whatever ANY representative (Democrat, Republican, Independent) doesn't get about that,...I'll have NO NO NO empathy or understanding or forgiveness to extend to you in the aftermath. I will commit COMPLETE LOYALTY to those who took a courageous stand BEFORE the aftermath,...and WE WILL BE STANDING IN THE GRAVES OF YOUR DEFEAT!!!!

[KoKo]

48. You SAID IT! and a K&R..........n/t
