1. He's talking about how the RW senators
have WASTED floor time, weeks worth, instead of Homeland Security, education, Medicare, Drugs, Nuclear Waste, Highways, ect. Go, Bob, Go! Let 'em have it!

4. Exactly.
What the hell was up with that? Has anyone heard an explanation from him?

5. I agree.
That was VERY disappointing, but he seems to be the lone Dem to stand up to these fascist bastards on Iraq & the Patriot Act. He's a protector of the Constitution and his voting for the FMA was shocking to me. Very sad.

6. the vote was NOT on the Amendment
it was a procedural vote and Byrd is on the record as being against the Amendment.

9. But voting to end the debate and bring it to a vote isn't exactly friendly
If Kerry had done the same, he would be in deep trouble on this board, at least.

7. He didn't vote for it.
He voted for debate on a dead bill. It will help him at home and not cause him any serious problem.
