[Radio_Lady]

[SharonRB]

1. So are

Dorgan
Rockefeller
Bayh
Landrieu

Snowe

[boston bean]

2. Is Landrieu undecided???? She was going to vote yes on cloture as of last

Friday??

[Halliburton]

6. she's a disgrace

when's she up for reelection? she also praised bush's response to katrina then changed her mind after people made fun of her for being so stupid.

[SharonRB]

9. They're still not showing how she's going to vote on

confirmation.

[Wordie]

12. The C-Span scoreboard doesn't show a vote for her.

Odd, because we've gotten so many reports of what she will do. It must be because she hasn't spoken yet.

[fooj]

3. Christ...what more do these idiots need?

Peace.

[ClassWarrior]

5. Peace?? Where do you find "peace" in calling people "idiots?"

Sheesh.

NGU.

[fooj]

4. I'm really surprised...after all, she was the champion fighter

against the energy bullshit out here on the west coast.

Peace.

[suffragette]

10. She's good on environmental issues, but she puts her finger in the wind

on many other areas.

[fooj]

11. The winds of politics are changing...

Peace.

[suffragette]

15. And Cantwell needs to pay attention to that and all the calls we've

been making.

[Wordie]

14. And Alito may be a threat environmentally, too. He may undo env.

protections under the Commerce Clause.

[Cats Against Frist]

7. Cantwell should sit out the filibuster

but only if the rest of the Dems stand united, which isn't going to happen. If I were a Dem strategist, I'd have her, Byrd and Nelson sit out the filibuster. She's going to have a difficult re-election bid. The Dems in Washington have never really liked her, and the pukes might run Dino Rossi, who has huge name rec, because of that whole governor thing.

[Freddie Stubbs]

8. Probably not

Just not announcing her plans yet.

[SeattleGirl]

13. Absolutely no surprise there.

She is a total wuss, and I would dearly love to see her replaced with a real Dem!

[spuddonna]

16. I just got off the phone with her Seattle office...

Cantwell is scheduled to speak to Alito today. I asked her if she had yet - staffer said no, not yet, which is probably why she hasn't make a intent yet... Murray did the same thing...

I urged her to support the filibuster and vote no, and thanked the staffer.

You can call local offices: 206-220-6400 for Cantwell (This is where I just called), and 206-553-5545 for Murray

OR YOU WILL SUPPORT PROGRESSIVE OPPONENT MARK WILSON

18. Cantwell's contact information:

http://cantwell.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm

She's very worried about Dino Rossi because she is fanatically anti-gun -- this in a state where 70 percent of the voters are unyieldingly in favor of the right to keep and bear arms. The Republicans make no secret of their intent to campaign against her on that issue -- Cantwell reportedly opposes ALL private ownership of firearms, is also accused of opposing even the right to self-defense -- and now she is weaseling on the most important Supreme Court appointment in the nation's history, probably hoping beyond hope it will win her some traction with the state's small but disproportionately powerful Christian fundamentalist faction. No other explanation -- at least none that I can think of -- makes any sense: ultimately yet another example of how Democrats destroy themselves by becoming entwined with hysterical anti-gun fanaticism.

But in this instance it's the nation itself that's on the brink of destruction: Alito's record shows that his confirmation will mark the end of American liberty forever, and Cantwell has yet to indicate even how she will vote on the appointment itself, much less cloture. Plus she insults our intelligence by the fact there is not one word about the Alito controversy on her website.

I have written Cantwell several times urging her to vote against Alito, and at least twice urging her to support the filibuster. But I have yet to receive a single answer. Maybe other DUers will have better luck.
