[Bluebear]

1. My Liberal Hero. Swoon.

:sarcasm:

[saracat]

5. Yup.

[slipslidingaway]

9. Liberal heros do not get the media attention :( n/t

[villager]

2. change you can disbelieve in....

n/t

[Yes We Did]

4. It is with GREAT dissatisfaction I second that.

[Hydra]

7. The enthusiastic new generation of voters

"Generation Suckered"

[slipslidingaway]

12. I had no expectations, if the Democrats wanted to defeat this bill

then they should have been talking about it in front of the cameras for the last SEVEN months.

[LWolf]

38. You got that right. n/t

[MrCoffee]

3. And there it is...

[slipslidingaway]

13. Yes :(

[Hydra]

6. Black and white

No fig leaf, not even a tactical "no" vote knowing it would do no good and would give his more rabid supporters a beatstick to use on us on the Left.

Instead, he sent a signal to the Powers that Be- you can count on me to do what you want.

[slipslidingaway]

14. True, not even a tactical no vote, not even a 2 minute speech. n/t

[a kennedy]

8. Klobuchar (D-MN) voted Nay....

:toast: :bounce: :thumbsup: :loveya: :hug: :headbang: :yourock: :woohoo: :applause: :patriot:

[Pastiche423]

10. Now it is time for Obama to HOPE

his progressive base will change their disgust for his rw vote.

[slipslidingaway]

17. Time for hope :( but it is not just the progressives. Nobody, from

any party calling in to cspan was for this bill.

[Marie26]

11. Clinton voted against cloture, too?

She really did come through.

[Beacool]

18. Yep, she did!!!!

Which is more than I can say for our nominee.......

:eyes:

[slipslidingaway]

19. Yes and no, she did not speak out on this issue in all her travels

and media appearances, she may have voted correctly today but the Dems in general did not make the public aware.

[EconomyCollapsesInUS]

23. She Won't Be Able To Take Advantage Of It

Unlike Obama, who when elected, will get to enjoy all the dictatorial fringe benefits that this bill provides.

[slipslidingaway]

26. That's true n/t

[bean fidhleir]

25. The public was already aware. (nt)

[slipslidingaway]

31. Disagree, how many people are aware of the interference

from Congress over the current suits and the expanded surveillance. I would imagine the percentage is fairly low.

[d_b]

15. K. I'll go puke now.

wake me in November.

[slipslidingaway]

24. NO, you have to try and fight the Iran 'war' resolutions now that

FISA is behind us, H.Con Res. 362 could be voted on shortly.

:hi:

Iran - H. Con. Res. 362 and S. Res. 580

[Beacool]

16. All I can say is: I'm proud of my gal!!!!!!

And my two senators (Lautenberg & Menendez)!!!!!!

:bounce:

[no limit]

29. As much as I fought against Clinton in the primaries this really shocked me

I am really proud of her for doing the right thing here, as upset as I was with her for dragging the nomination for as long as it went I am happy to say that as a result of this I have gained a lot of respect back for her while I just lost a bunch of respect that I once had for Obama.

[Beacool]

33. She dragged the nomination because she was nose to nose with Obama

and because thousands of supporters asked her to stay until the end. She has the grit and courage that IMO our nominee lacks and I still think that Obama will end up disillusioning those who voted for him in the primary.

[no limit]

45. She knew she had lost after super tuesday

her staying in had to do with her idea that she was entitled to the nomination, it had nothing to do with courage. And as a result Obama is now forced to help her raise 20 million dollars to pay off her debt instead of using that energy to get that kind of money to his campaign. Not to mention all the ammunition the right wing now has because of some of the statements she made in the primary long after it was clear to everyone but her supporters that she had lost the fight.

With that said I am glad she voted the way she did yesterday. And you are absolutely right, Obama will disillusion a lot of people that voted for him, he already is doing that with his FISA vote yesterday. It's politics as usual, and I can speak for a lot of long time Obama supporters when I say that's hella disappointing.

[spanone]

20. i disagree with his vote.....he's still the only possible choice.

[slipslidingaway]

32. But we do not have to go quietly :) n/t

[EconomyCollapsesInUS]

21. It Doesn't Matter

Because you HAVE to support Obama. THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE.

He can vote himself dictatorial powers, and you HAVE TO SUPPORT HIM.

Remember, not voting is a vote for McSame. So even if you don't like him. Even if he does things which piss you off completely. Even if he gets on TV and says, "I wish this were a dictatorship," you HAVE TO SUPPORT HIM.

Oh, and if you don't, prepare to be banned from this board, because we can't allow any disagreement here either.

[BlueJac]

22. The "I got ya" moment....

so much for doing things differently!

[no limit]

27. I love my senator, Bingaman, he seems to always be on the right side of these issues

he even voted against the Iraq war. Shame on everyone else that voted for this idiotic bill.

[RufusTFirefly]

28. Way to keep that powder dry!

Don't worry folks. Kerry's crack team of lawyers is on the verge of contesting the vote in Ohio. Keep the faith!

[vanboggie]

30. Thank you Michigan Senators

You didn't let me down this time. It's too bad the Presidential Nominee voted with the others who caved. Can Michigan be adopted by Canada now?

[Beacool]

34. Ahhhhhh, Michigan.................

A sore spot for some of us.

[vanboggie]

35. It could be a bigger sore spot

For various reasons, I am projecting MI will be the Ohio & Florida of the 2008 s-election. But that could just be the paranoia brought on by 2000/2004, I suppose.

[Beacool]

42. You might be right, though I still think that FL is going to go Repug once again

despite the polls. That's my second state and I just came back from Palm Beach Sunday night. The anger at the DNC down there is still palpable.

[Fire Walk With Me]

43. California might be the next Ohio

considering that:

-Enron planned their schemes in advance
-There is rumor of a secret meeting with Ahnold prior to the brownouts/recall election
-Enron's phony energy shortage caused a recall election, allowing Ahnold to get into power
-Enron were major Bush contributors/advisors
-Ahnold has now had time to work the poison into California.

These clowns create causes and conditions (see link in my signature). Pray that they don't create more causes and conditions allowing Ahnold into the White House.

I believe that somewhere in the book "one" Richard Bach said "How quickly the cunning steal power from the unaware." Also causing me to not trust Richard Bach.

[BlueEyedSon]

36. Assuming he wins, he can do all the spying he wants!

[slipslidingaway]

40. Yes, I go back to a statement from last year...

http://www.barackobama.com/2007/08/01/the_war_we_need_to_win.php

"...This Administration also puts forward a false choice between the liberties we cherish and the security we demand. I will provide our intelligence and law enforcement agencies with the tools they need to track and take out the terrorists without undermining our Constitution and our freedom.

That means no more illegal wire-tapping of American citizens..."


Is it legal now?

And if by some chance the Repubs steal the election or the bill, after the sunset provision, remains in effect will we trust that person with these expanded powers.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

37. A Bravo!! to the 28 who didn't sell out. Including my two senators.

All the rest...well...telling them what to do with their pathetic votes probably isn't physically possible.

[RufusTFirefly]

41. In California it was predictable

Boxer came through for us once again. Feinstein failed us as usual.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

44. I'm pleasantly surprised by Cantwell. Murray usually comes through.

As an ex-Californian (left in '81 for the PacNW) you have my sympathy.

[XOKCowboy]

39. My DINO Senator Salazar - I apologize for him

He even had the nerve to send me an email today asking for help with Medicare and a donation of course. I'm ashamed.
