Lieberman to oppose drug bill |
|
Just saw it on NBC News. Glad to see he made the right decision. We often forget that he is usually a reliable Democratic vote on domestic issues.

She is starting to annoy me. I used to like how she was a maverick but now its getting to be a little much.

But McCain said he will vote no AND join the fillibuster, because the bill is full of pork.

Nice to see DINO Fienstien doin all the GOP's work.
I really do think she's some kind of GOP plant. She's given the party a horrible name, considering she basically wants to grab everyone's guns, yet at the same time she votes almost exactly the way the GOP wants on economic issues (the real issues which are fucking people over).
All the big issues -- Bush's tax cuts, the IWR, the bullshit medicare bill...is she also supporting the energy bill?
I swear couldn't someone challenge her seat in the CA senate primaries? My guess is she has the entire democratic establishment behind her. It's a real shame. But then again I don't think she's up for reelection for a while...Damn!

I think she'll be done by then. She and Boxer have a frosty relationship.

inundated by emails from all the pissed off AARP members (I was one until today) she will reconsider her position. I would also suggest that DU'ers let her know that we will no longer tolerate ANY Dems, House or Senate, that support ANY of the Repug positions, and will do everything in our power to unseat them when their term expires.
Now is the time for every good man to come to the aid of his country...and this is NOT a fuckin typing exercise.

6. The drug lobbyist's check is late this month. |

Don't worry. When the bidding for his vote goes up or the check comes in, he will have a eureka moment and change his mind.
Watch.
