To any Dem Candidate that skipped today's vote... |
|
Where the fuck were you? What could possibly have been more important than today's vote? Well here's how I feel about it. I don't care how many corporate dicks you sucked today on your way to filling your campaign 'war chest', I won't vote for you if you are the last one standing!
If you cannot inconvenience yourself a little to defend our interests, and defer your personal ones, in the job you currently hold, why on earth should I believe you would do so in the job you hope to attain?
Fool me once shame on you etc..
If you missed the vote today - you'll be missing mine on election day - asshole!!!

2. Keeping their powder dry |
|
They were willing to vote, however, if everyone else voted first and there vote didn't mean shit. But they weren't willing to go out on a limb for democracy.

4. The whole exercise seems silly to me |
|
It just makes the dems look weak. They can't even pass a meaningless referendum

willing to do what it takes to protect our democracy and get our country back on track.
Sitting around doing nothing is weak.
Capitulating to a corrupt administration is weak.
Letting themselves get manipulated with Rovian schemes and wedge issue legislation is weak.
I'm happy to see MY party fight back.
Fighting is rounds; this is round 1.

7. It isn't even just skipping the vote. It's as John Edwards said about the War Appropriations |
|
bill, they didn't take leadership in such an important issue.

9. So now they're standing up to Bush |
|
Even if they didn't win this vote, they challenged him on their own terms. Its a beginning.

that Biden, Dodd and Obama missed this important vote. Their failure not to make the effort also shows a lack of leadership IMHO.
