Watch your politicians... and your ass (re. Lynch Mob etc.)
Kent Conrad (D-ND)did not sign!!!

This does not surprise me. Watching closely what politicians do (or don't do) will tell the story...

Conrad (who did not co-sponsor the anti-lynching resolution) is on the list of Dem's below that supported the outrageous bankruptcy bill.

Also Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) is cozying up to James Dobson of Focus on the Family. http://www.politics1.com/ and Last month, Sens. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana were the only Democrats to break ranks and support the move to have an immediate final vote on Bolton, all on the list as well as Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada. Hmmm?http://www.tallahassee.com/mld/tallahassee/news/breaking_news/11886812.htm

I'm sure there are more examples of our politicians voting against the best interest of the people, but my point is that Corporate interest is evidently in the best interest of many Dem's as well as Repub's.

So don't be surprised when certain judges get appointed, or by the Bankruptcy Bill, Patriot Act, Bolton etc. Personally I believe a lot of this back and forth is just for show and in the end they'll (most) will do what's best for their bank account.

Below is the entire list of Democrats who voted yea on the bankruptcy bill (or did not vote):

Baucus (D-MT), Yea
Bayh (D-IN), Yea
Biden (D-DE), Yea
Bingaman (D-NM), Yea
Byrd (D-WV), Yea
Carper (D-DE), Yea
Conrad (D-ND), Yea
Inouye (D-HI), Yea
Johnson (D-SD), Yea
Kohl (D-WI), Yea
Landrieu (D-LA), Yea
Lincoln (D-AR), Yea
Nelson (D-FL), Yea
Nelson (D-NE), Yea
Pryor (D-AR), Yea
Reid (D-NV), Yea
Salazar (D-CO), Yea
Stabenow (D-MI), Yea
Also:
Clinton (D-NY), Not Voting
