1. Nothing to do with testing.

Just plain voting to spray people with pesticides.

5. Not just spray them

the people in the test were to swallow capsules of the pesticide 3 times a day with orange juice.

2. oh for God's sake its only going to affect widows, cripples and orphans

and maybe some other kids, but sacrifices have to be made.

we can not stop the inexorable march of the free market over a little bump in the cancer rate, can we?

there is money to be made. get out of my way.

now back to regular programing.

3. Geez, Rick from PA just never disappoints, does he? Use this in 06.

Along with the rest of his disgraceful voting record.

[Nikki Stone 1]

14. Now, if it were testing pesticides on fetuses, Santorum would be on the

other side.

We gotta nail this guy to the wall in 06.

4. Mengele would be proud

I see the so called "moderates" Hagel and Voinovich voted along with the rest of the Eugenics crowd. I wonder if Senator Santorum would be willing to have his kids used as test subjects, hell he's got several and I'm sure that God will keep them from harm.

And I must say that seeing the cat killer on this list isn't any6 surprise, and good old Oral Hatch, what a good Christian he is.

And of course "Vile" Kyl from my own state of Arizona, who would have suspected. Perhaps now the Democratic Party here will use this little tidbit when he comes up for re-election. Think how it will sound to the middle class and the poor up in Maricopa Country that Kyl was all for testing poisons on their families.

But maybe it's just plain old greed that motivates these inhuman scum, do any of them have connections with pesticide companies, that
donate to their campaigns. It's good to know that these representatives of the people would have no problem with testing poisons on their constituents, just so they can fill their pockets.

If anyone has any questions about who the real TRAITORS are, just look at this list.

[meppie-meppie not]

6. NP...they go first

[Starbucks Anarchist]

7. Some of those listed also refused to sign the anti-lynching resolution.

How unironic.

[Imalittleteapot]

9. Yeh, and Cornyn was one of them. He now offers bad news on a daily basis.

[Julius Civitatus]

8. Many of those actually think LYNCHING is OK too

Including:

Sununu,
Crapo,
Cornyn,
Cochran,
Enzi,
Gregg,
Hatch,
Kyl,
Lott,
Shelby,
Grassley,
Thomas.

These people think that lynching and human experimentation with pesticides is ok. Dr. Mengele would be fucking proud!

The lists, by the way, look almost identical!

[fooj]

10. Absolutely unbelievable!

:banghead: Where the hell did these people come from? Ugh!

peace.

[OneBlueSky]

11. for any of them up for re-election, this should be THE issue . . .

that the Democrats use to strangle them . . .

[Rainscents]

12. Can someone please link the bill# and actual voting list? Thanks!

[Independent_Liberal]

13. That's just plain disgusting!

What the hell is wrong with them? That's sick!
