[Jesus Saves]

1. slime mold beetles

let's call them what they are...

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

2. Better yet, let's call them what they will be:

Gone.

[dave502d]

3. Independent 100% Nay. n/t

[0007]

4. I can't believe Salazar from the San Luis Valley voted for this

bill. I'm in a state of shock! I've known this man before he was elected to Congress. He use to be a good man.

[Stephanie]

5. By the way, how is this a Consumer Protection Act?

Just wondering.

[Eric J in MN]

11. It protects credit card companies from consumers (nt)

nt

[medeak]

6. YAY Harry Reid changed his mind

sent me email that he was for it a month ago....

[FreedomAngel82]

8. YAY!

No Reid. Yippie! :) I'm happy about that since I think Harry Reid is great. I'm glad no Kerry and Clinton or Boxer. :toast:

[medeak]

12. I was wrong

Reid didn't vote

[Stephanie]

13. Reid's in the Senate - this is the House

[FreedomAngel82]

16. Ooh

So will this go to the Senate? Oops. I got a lil too happy. Heh heh.

[theboss]

40. It already passed the Senate

It goes to Bush to sign next.

[medeak]

22. of course...had menapausal moment

Reid already voted FOR it.

[Freddie Stubbs]

38. Reid voted -- He voted for the bill

[eissa]

7. Can someone please explain this to me?

Why would any self-respecting democrat vote for a bankruptcy bill written by the banking industry? And why would they vote for a bill that will win anyway (the repukes will guarantee that)? Why are they so eager to just roll over? I must be missing something.

[FreedomAngel82]

9. I don't get it either

Maybe these people are the real dino's.

[Stephanie]

14. Look at their campaign donations

Go here to check your Rep:

www.opensecrets.org

[Jacobin]

28. Those votes were bought and paid for

If there were an enforceable bribery statute in Washington DC and an Elliot Spitzer to prosecute it, all of congress would be in jail.

[leftchick]

31. I actually respected Price in NC up until now....

:banghead:

:puke:

[spanone]

10. Govt. of the Corporations, for the Corporations and by the Corporations.

[Stephanie]

15. it's the Global Feudal Economy

works for them...

[OzarkDem]

17. Ted Strickland?

That's surprising. Fortunately my congressman (Sherrod Brown) voted no.

[theHandpuppet]

25. I was terribly disappointed by this, too

Considering the (Ohio) district he represents, this was truly a bitter betrayal and he'd better have a damned good explanation for it!

[sellitman]

18. I just love the bill title

BILL TITLE: Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act


Consumer protection act? To protect the credit card companies from the consumers? This is like the Clean skies act or the healthy forest bill. What a crock of shit!

[Stephanie]

21. Bankruptcy Abuse, Lawsuit Abuse

You can just see Karen Hughes sitting around the Oval, with a couple of large Domino's pepperoni pizzas, dreaming this sht up. We talk of domestic abuse or something, they run away with it. Corporations are being ABUSED! Corporations are SUFFERING at the hands of ABUSIVE consumers. Yeah, that's the ticket!

[KamaAina]

19. Case (HI 2nd) votes No!

first non-DINO thing he's done since he got out of diapers!!! (no, not last year, silly)

However...

Herseth, Hoyer, Meek, Wu (ouch!), the aptly named Moran, and most especially candidate-in-training Ford really, really should have known better.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

20. Ah yes, Minnesota's resident DINO

Colin Peterson voted for it, as did Oregon's mushy middlers Darlene Hooley and David Wu and S.W. Washington's Brian Baird.

:-(

But the good news is that no other Minnesota Dems voted for it, nor did my two favorite Oregon Congresscritters, Peter DeFazio and Earl Blumenauer. :loveya:

[Bryn]

23. Bye Bye Jim Davis - FL

n/t

[Pushed To The Left]

24. My representative voted NO

Good for Loretta Sanchez! The No votes appear to all be Democratic. I'm disappointed that any Democrat would vote for this, but we can still see that the Democratic Party is far superior to the Republican Party.

[Patchuli]

29. I'm very sad that Mike Thompson DID vote for it

after precinct-walking for him with the rest of the Democratic ticket last summer and fall and calling his office to urge him not to vote for that bill. I won't vote for him again and I'm going to go tell him so now!

[Cleita]

26. I'm speechless.

:-(

[mattclearing]

27. Wynn used to be my congressman before I moved downtown.

Fucker.

[CBHagman]

41. Thank God for Chris Van Hollen.

Wynn was my congressman, too. I'm disgusted to hear he sided with the credit card companies. Fetch a proctologist and dislodge that man's head.

[Catherine Vincent]

30. I'm more shocked that not one damn repuke voted no.

[lonestarnot]

32. What in the fuck is wrong with these people? Can someone explain other

than some giagantic kickback from credit card companies...or some exotic trip sponsored WWWWWWWHHHAAAATTTTT! This law may be unconstitutional and should be now challenged at every angle! Tye shit up in knots in the Courts!

[Itsthetruth]

34. A Simple Explanation And It's True

They don't represent working people. They represent big business interests and the rich. That's the bottom line.

Just follow the money.

[Freddie Stubbs]

39. On what grounds would its constitutionality be challenged?

:shrug:

[paineinthearse]

33. All 10 of MassaBLUEsetts' Reps voted NAY

:yourock:

As far as you 73 DINO's, we have your names.

[walldude]

35. You know I see shit like this

and then I have to listen to Tom DeLay's delerious rantings about the vast left wing conspiracy that is out to get him. I need a valium. I'd take one too but I don't have any health care. :eyes:

[Scout1071]

36. Moore from Kansas. Son of a beeeyotch. Gettin' a letter.

[ulysses]

37. Sanford Bishop's no surprise.

Still glad to be in the 4th with Cynthia.

[ForrestGump]

42. I'm never voting for any of these f***wits

If I stay in Nevada, that incloudes Reid. I'll instead vote Green, Mickey-Mouse Party, or whatever for their slots. This is a dealbreaker for me: not only am I personally affected by it (though my unforunately necessary case should get under the wire in time), but I think that any so-called Democrat voting for such a patently pro-corporate/anti-consumer measure fails a critical litmus test.

These pigs have lost my vote forever -- if one goes on to the Presidential race I will not be voting for a Dem president.

[The Whiskey Priest]

43. Guarantee Every Last One of Them

Are in the banker’s pocket…..We have been sold out. Hope the bastards choke on their thirty pieces of silver.

[Stephanie]

46. We should research that and post it here

It would be easy - just check each of their donations at www.opensecrets.org -

[ariellyn]

44. I'm glad Guitterez held out. WTG Luis Guitterez (IL) n/t

[OneBlueSky]

45. the next Move On project should be a coordinated campaign . . .

to run qualified progressive primary opponents against every one of these bastards . . . the ones in the Senate, too . . . THAT's the kind of campaign I would wholeheartedly support . . .

[Stephanie]

47. it will be forgotten by then

don't you think? how many times have we been betrayed already?

[Zorra]

48. Kick - This is the last straw. We must never forget this betrayal of

every working family.

This is the ultimate, unexcusable sell-out, and all of these republican plants in our party need to be kicked to the curb.
