[in_cog_ni_to]

I feel so bad for her. She's fighting an uphill battle with these bastards.

[0007]

1. She's doing a great job! She's pissed.

[annabanana]

2. she's thanking everyone

Who stayed up all night while the republican leadership stuck a knife into the Gulf Coast..

[Stephanie]

3. What is that about? I missed that.

[ananda]

5. It's about corporatism and Iraq...

... and not about giving Louisiana the 200m it needs for disaster recovery,

... and giving Bush 50b for Iraq.

Ouch!

7. the bill that the leadership pushed and passes

ties the States hands as to how the money is allocated and the terms of the repayment of loans...

They are getting a differnt deal that every other recipient under this bill has ever gotten.. and it stinks

[Lasher]

8. Unsuccessful quarum call in the Senate last night

Democrats wouldn't come in for the vote so they had to delay the vote until today.

4. Why do Republicans HATE the South?

(and why doesn't the South know that?)

[ananda]

6. Why doesn't the South know...

... that Republicans care only for their corporate masters and not about Southerners?

That's because of the racism card.

9. I just wrote Anderson Cooper

Remember their exchange when she was thanking Bush et al for their willingness to help and Anderson basically said it was just rhetoric - where is the help? I asked the show to have her on to let the world know what she thinks of the Repukes' actual willingness to help.

That said, I really admire her for the fight she has put up against the slimeballs on the other side of the aisle. She is doing everything in her power for her state.

10. How many times did she vote with the Republicans against the Democrats?

Now she is being treated the same way she has treated the Democrats. The Democrats seem to be standing by her though. I wonder how soon it will be before she sides with the Republicans again against the best interests of our country. I won't cry any tears for her.
