Congratulations MI, NJ, NY, VT and WA!!

[Barack_America]

Both of your Senators voted "Nay" on today's FISA bill.

Everybody else, at least one of your Senators voted for it!

Any interest in criticizing the folks who actually represent you?

*MA: I'm sure you would have been congratulated, had Teddy voted. You get a mulligan.

1. When Thad Cochran becomes the Democratic Presidential nominee...

then your post will mean something.

I have voiced my disgust with FISA to my elected representatives.

But none of them are the Democratic Presidential nominee...and none of them vowed to filibuster the very bill they voted for today.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

2. I thought he vowed to support a filibuster?

[woolldog]

12. She wants Obama to stop campaigning, so that he read names out of

the phonebook in the Senate and filibuster the bill.

[Maddy McCall]

17. Yes. Support a filibuster...

If we're going to pick nits.

[Barack_America]

5. How many Senate votes does the "Democratic Presidential nominee" get?

It sounds like an all-powerful position.

[Maddy McCall]

18. You have got to be kidding.

This circular logic that some of you are posting today is on one hand sad, but on the other entertaining.

[JeffR]

3. Aw hell

Try Chambliss and Isakson for your senators, all y'all. No-one understands real outrage like a Southern leftist. No-one.

[Muttocracy]

8. ...

:hug:

[Barack_America]

9. I fared no better in PA with Casey and Specter.

Sadly.

[Maddy McCall]

19. Exactly.

I'm one of those, too. :D

4. KnR And: Attention all FISA purity posters expressing your concern:

Give it a fucking rest, OK?

And thanks Kristi1696 for your post.

:hi:

6. Without even looking at the list of votes, I can already guess that Mikulski voted YEA

on BOTH accounts, while the good progressive Democrat, Ben Cardin, voted NAY. See...I was right!! Didn't even have to look before typing this.

BARBARA MIKULSKI MUST GO!!!! She has been such a disappointment. No more DLC scum! Get her out! Get DiFi out! She's 'Traitor Joe' LIEberman in a dress! DLC needs to go!! All of them!! They must go!

I must say, however, that I'm proud of Hillary and Chuck. They have disappointed me in the past but they did the right thing today, however politically calculated her vote really was; she still did the right thing.

7. I'm in favor of this FISA bill,

so I applaud Senator Feinstein for voting the right way. :patriot:

[Barack_America]

10. Another valid option.

:patriot:

(right back at ya ;))

[KT2000]

11. Thanks

it is a proud day here in WA!

[rwheeler31]

13. If I could live in Vermont I would,

can you guys do something about that expense and weather thing?

[WCGreen]

14. My Friends and Senator Sherrod Brown voted no...

The other one, Voinovich voted Yea...

[PassingFair]

15. But they both voted "yes" on the cloture.

The votes were there to pass the bill and they
knew it.

NO PASS.

16. Living in NJ saves a lot of time on the phone.

I don't know how some of you do it.

[Beacool]

20. Thanks!!!

My senators did well (NJ) and so did the ones next door in NY!!!!

:bounce:

[cookie monster]

21. I'm from NY!

I'm proud of my state.
