Go Democratic Lions!
Some senators to thank. .
from Bob Geiger blog 1/3/06

"US Senators who made us proud in 2005"

". . .While it's easy to get discouraged watching these guys crossing the aisle to go against things most of us support very strongly – not to mention Joe Lieberman's (D-CT) disgraceful performance in literally and figuratively playing kissy-face with George W. Bush for much of the year – it's important that we also salute our Democratic lions in the Senate.
Think all Democratic Senators are made of the same stuff? Think again. Then, take a look at the Senators who had absolutely zero weasel-worthy votes in 2005:
Barbara Boxer (D-CA)
Jon Corzine (D-NJ)
Ted Kennedy (D-MA)
John Kerry (D-MA)
Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Jack Reed (D-RI)
Paul Sarbanes (D-MD)
No politician can please everyone, but when you look at the sheer number of important votes that these seven Senators had to be involved with, it is commendable and somewhat astounding that they voted like real Democrats on every, single one of them."

Since January: Corzine's no longer senator, and Barbara Boxer's been a little confused lately, but Kerry and Kennedy have continued on their praiseworthy paths, their courage, thoughtfulness, and fire undiminished. .
