Get On Those Weenie Democratic Senators That Voted for Condi
I've compiled a list of the Democrats that voted for Condoleezza Rice today with their contact info. Tell them what you think of their choice.

2. I think our time would be better spent e-mailing the media and
telling them that we think Boxer and the other Dems that said "No" are great. You can ask them (politely) to give this historic event a lot of coverage in their broadcasts.

3. This letter was linked in an earlier post. I'm sending it to all of them
Everyone else do likewise so they get the message.

The PHDC is taking a very active role in fighting the right-wing agenda.

AGREEMENT NOT TO RUN FOR RE-ELECTION

I _______________(name of Senator) from the State of ______________(name of state) agree not to run for re-election. Through my failure to oppose the nomination of Condoleezza Rice, I have demonstrated that I lack the intelligence and integrity needed to represent the people of my state. When Condoleezza Rice saw a memo titled "Bin Laden Determined To Attack Inside the United States" prior to 9/11, it did not occur to her that Bin Laden was determined to attack inside the United States. Now, though I may have also lacked the intelligence to make that connection, there are a great many other Americans who do have the intelligence to make that connection who are eligible to become Secretary of State. Ms. Rice helped lead the charge to war with two countries who were less responsible for 9/11 than the incompetence of Ms. Rice. She worked to make the whole world hate us. As a result of the actions of Ms. Rice, Americans are in more danger now than ever before. If Ms. Rice continues this pattern as Secretary of State, the future of all Americans will be in grave danger. I lack the concern for the American people and the integrity to block this nomination and demand we do better. In failing to block this incompetent war-monger of African American origin, I am also demonstrating my racist belief that the best African-American for the job is a stupid war-mongerer and that we can find no better African-American for the job. In conclusion, I will never again run for public office because I am a stupid, gullible Senator who has no concern for the welfare of my constituents or the American people.

Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 08:15 PM by Coastie for Truth
see my thread --

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x101082

I think Condi is an anal retentive neo-con arse hole. But I will still support the Dems who voted for her.

I will also support Carl Levin -- even though I think he is a mega disaster on the environment and energy -- and has always been Ford Motor Company's "Man in The Senate" --- as bad as Dingle or Ford Mega dealer John Conyers -- but I still support the Brothers Levin and Conyers and Dingle because they are DEms and better then the alternative.

(About the only Democrat I didn't support was Pete Flaherty --- and the narrowness of Pete Flaherty's victory was a leg up for Dick Thornburgh - if you are into the arcana and minutia of Pennsylvania politics)

8. Bush's mistress let 9/11 happen and then she pushed us into war.
Tell the mother of a dead soldier or someone whose brother died on 9/11 that you think the person responsible for the deaths is intelligent and should be rewarded.

9. She's a terrible person
She helped architect the administration's Iraq policy and then beat the drums for war. The war was based of false premises and she either knew that and ignored it or didn't care about the truth, and either of those immediately disqualifies her from being our country's top diplomat, in my opinion.

43. Why aren't you attacking the betrayers/manipulators/usurpers,...
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 08:54 PM by Just Me
,...the neoCONimperilists?

Why aren't advocating ATTACKING those blood-letting, public-wealth-usurping, evil-DOERS?

Why not CURE THE SOURCE rather than the symptoms?

After all,...don't we ALL know who deceived and tricked us into a blood-spending, 300 BILLION DOLLAR war?

Don't we ALL know who HATES 80% of the Americans who fail to hold the majority of wealthy,...and who SERVES that top 1% that advances "power".

Why not FIGHT YOUR FOES?

Bah, nevermind. I believe I prolly have some idea where you are coming from.

21. My point was
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 08:27 PM by Coastie for Truth
that we NOT purge Dems who didn't vote against Condi.

I put Condi in the same soup dish with Rummie and Perle and Feith and Wolfie and Cambone and Boynton and Gonzales, and Bushie and Cheney, etc --

but that is not a reason to purge Reid or Feinstein or Leiberman.

    WE HAVE TO QUIT SHOOTING AT OURSELVES AND BEGIN SHOOTING AT THE GOP

30. No,
You can vote anybody you want in the primary. But, if you sit on your hands in the General or vote for some ideologically pure candidate in the General - 'cause your "ideologically pure candidate" didn't win the nomination --- don't freakin complain about Bush

32. Most black women are NOT prostitutes. Why hire a hooker for Sec of State?
Now, a good decent, intelligent woman like Cynthia McKinnney would be the best Secretary of State in history.

34. So skin color is more important to you than competence?
3,000 Americans died because she didn't do her job. And she lied when she said that they never expected terrorists to fly planes into buildings.....or maybe they just expected them to hijack planes. But everyone who proves their incompetence gets medals and job promotions in this administration, so why shouldn't Condi?

Really, though, who really cares? SoS is being downsized. She'll be taking her marching orders from Don Rumsfield. This administration doesn't do diplomacy, but she'll be quite entertainer at those parties, seeing she's a concert pianist.

Hey, welcome aboard...enjoy your short stay.

Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 09:21 PM by ultraist
YOU SAID THIS, ksuaviator, "black women are automatically less qualified to hold high positions in government than a common dog and in order for them to have reached that position would have had to hand out sexual favors to their white masters. "

Anyone who thinks of black women in such hateful and derogatory terms is MENTALLY ILL.

26. I blame affirmative action. She's obviously advanced beyond her
capabilities becasue of some kneejerk liberal funding program.
if it weren't for that, the supremely unqualified-for-government Condaleeza might have fulfilled her true destiny--playing piano in Sunday school for first graders.

Do you think Bush would have even noticed her in the first place if she weren't black? She is a cynically selected token, and accusing her critics of racism is absurd. Especially coming from the KKKonservative right.

The facts are biased again, I suppose. She lied, it's a fact, not a slur.

52. There's nothing wrong with letting your Senators know where you stand...
But, "Get on those Weenies" sounds like a freeper witchhunt to take down Democrats.

And asking a Senator to resign or not run again over one vote that was merely a symbolic protest vote and HAD NO EFFECT ON THE OUTCOME is over reacting.

Let's show some dignity for Christ's sake.

57. Here's what I wrote to Obama
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 09:14 PM by Walt Starr
To the Honorable Senator Barack Obama,

It is with a heavy heart that I feel compelled to write to you today. I supported your candidacy for the Senate with my vote, my verbal support to convince others to vote for you, and with my pocketbook via donations.

It saddens me greatly to see you support a proven liar with your yes vote to confirm Condoleeza Rice for the position of Secretary of State. What this has accomplished is to reward negligence, failure, incompetence, and lying that borders on criminal activity with a promotion to a higher office.

If this is what I can expect from the future of your tenure as Senator, I will be unable to support your re-election as Senator or your candidacy for any other office.

I will hold my judgment until I see how you vote on the Alberto Gonzales nomination for Attorney General. Should you also vote yes on this nomination, I will be unable to support your future political ambitions and will find myself in a position where I feel compelled to work against such endeavors.

Please, restore the faith I held in you when I cast my ballot on November 2, 2004. Vote NO on the confirmation of Alberto Gonzales for Attorney General.

Sincerely,
Walter E. Starr

The man is running for governor this year. I always thought he served us well in the senate, but I am annoyed he voted in favor of "Doctor" Rice. On the other hand, I'm proud of Frank Lautenberg!
