3. Spread That Taste To ALL The Senate Dems!
Let the Repunks approve of Abu Gonzalez with their votes and ONLY their votes -- then put that vote on the end of a leash and take a photo of it.

I hope that wasn't too descriptive ...

4. Amen to that.
I'm not getting my hopes up, but it would be beautiful if only the Dems would get the sense to be able to send a STRONG message of resistance to torture, and stop making it obvious that they can't lead but can only be led.

7. Dream on
I don't know how many times I've called this idiot. It's always the same run around. He's too busy chasing the cameras to care about much else. We still get less HS Funding than Wyoming and it doesn't bother him an iota. And he just "loved" Bernard Kerik. But hey it's your time and your dime, do whatever you feel is right.

9. Okay, just sit on your ass and let him get away with it.
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 02:20 AM by BurtWorm
Good strategy. :thumbsup:

PS: I understand your hesitance. I share your skepticism about Schumer's trustworthiness. I sent him a not very nice letter accusing him of supporting Gonzales because they share an interest in legitimizing torture. But it's not a waste of a dime or a stamp to communicate with your representatives in Congress. It's one of your duties as a citizen. Or, as I say, you can sit on your ass and do nothing. It's a free country.

15. BurtWorm I have never sat on my ass but Schumer sure has
He's good at one thing and one thing only..grandstanding. You can call, go to his office, beg , plead, you never get a straight answer until after his vote. I've volunteered for many a democratic candidate & sorry he is not one of my favorites. But hey, like I said, it's your time and your dime, do what you think is right.

16. I, too, have called and
emailed both Schumer and Clinton. I have to ask...what, exactly, do either of them do? I used to be very supportive of both - but no longer. Schumer is safe now for the next few years, so he can revert back to form - DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

17. I totally agree that Schumer is full of gas.
But when he makes noise like he's going to do the right thing, he needs encouragement. And when he does the wrong thing, he needs to hear about it. Abdication of our responsibility is essentially a blank check with Schumer's name on it to do whatever he pleases.

10. I just talked to Schumer today
Don't worry about him. He will vote the way I tell him to, because he is in my back pocket. How, you may ask? Because he wanted tropical Skittles and I happened to have a package with me on the elevator ride.

They just get cheaper every day...

12. Peanuts are not as sexy as skittles
OOPS NO SEX THREADS.

Don't hate the playa.

You may be the bull goose loony, but I am the repressed corporate executive who fulfills part of his life dream every day just by saying "Yeah...".

Sup now?

Your friend,
Bill Lumbergh

Yeah. You see, we’re putting the coversheets on all TPS reports. Did you get the memo about this?
