1. Yey Feingold

[JDPriestly]

2. Feinstein voted for it. Unbelievable. Shame on her.

She is a rightie if there ever was one.

[malaise]

7. Shame on Obama as well n/t

[cui bono]

25. Feinstein has proven herself to be a sellout. She needs to be replaced. eom

[Warren DeMontague]

26. Why was I not surprised about that?

Oh, now I remember. Because DiFi sucks.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. You're surprised Feinstein voted for it?

I'm not

Sorry.

Obama is a slightly higher surprise... but I bet it is the, how well will this play in Peoria?

[ShortnFiery]

3. Here! Here! :-)

[reality based]

4. A roll of honor

[marlakay]

5. Can someone tell me what happens to moveon

after the vote?

[Luminous Animal]

23. Nothing.

But a donation so that they can make more ads wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Donate! And stand up and be counted here:

[Warren DeMontague]

31. John McCain wants to have them "thrown out of the country" but even with no Habeas Corpus

I think that's only a remote possibility.

[Beelzebud]

6. 25... That is absolutely pathetic... Unacceptable...

[skiddlybop]

8. Hm. What a coincidence...

You just listed the only Senators I will EVER GIVE MONEY TO AGAIN.

The only Senators who stood up for the truth when you knew a BIG BIG fucking lie was being told.

These 25 are the only ones I will ever consider contributing to, ever again.

[xxqqqzme]

9. Will someone please explain to me HOW a rethug

can get a vote called when Democrats were totally ignored while the rethugs hogged the majority?

[Saturday]

10. But 22 D's voted YEA!!! *mad emoticon* n/t

[emilyg]

11. Where are Edwards and Obama?

[Saturday]

13. Obama didn't vote and

Edwards isn't a Senator.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

14. Edwards is no longer in the Senate n/t

[emilyg]

32. I knew that lol not enough coffee.

[Selatius]

15. The three who didn't vote were Biden, Cantwell, and Obama.

John Edwards hasn't been a senator for a while now.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. Not exactly a profile in courage, there, for Obama.

Maybe someone should have told Biden he'd get some idiotic, draconian drug war sentences out of the deal - like 50 years of hard labor for anyone who shared a joint at a Steve Miller concert in the mid-70s - then maybe he could have been bothered to show up & vote. :shrug:

[Selatius]

38. Yeah, I was kinda surprised he didn't vote.

[spanone]

12. and shame on their colleagues

[Richard Steele]

16. Hear, hear!

:applause:

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

My senator is amongst them

thank you Senator. :applause:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. Murray voted Nay. Cantwell, (no surprise) ducked the vote.

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. Craig vote Yea with his feet!

[jackster]

19. Kennedy and Kerry...

my Senators whom I could count on 99% of the time. They'll both hear from me today and Moveon will get a donation.

In an earlier thread, I noted that I needed to be talked out of leaving the party after that vote. I'm still considering it, but knowing that these REAL Democrats are there fighting for us makes me less inclined to give up on the party that I've loved and worked for all my life.

[cali]

20. Which vote is more important?

This one or the upcoming vote for money for the war? I'm disappointed that one of my Senators voted for this silly crap resolution, but he's voted against the Supplementals in the past and vowed to his constituents not to vote for anymore funding for it in the future. I'll bet anything that some of these on this list, will vote for IW funding.

[NoPasaran]

21. Hear hear!

:toast: to our pro-First Amendment Senators!

[HughBeaumont]

22. MY Senator voted against it!

Sherrod Brown and Connie Schultz - true progressives for America's people.

DUH-high-ah's Senaturd (Voinovich) voted FOR it.


One asshole (DeWine) down, one to go.

You're next, pig.

We're "Moving America Forward" without the likes of you.

[bos1]

24. It's bizarre. Clinton's vote shows that it wasn't political suicide to vote NO

so why the hell did all those others CAVE?

[gateley]

29. And I think we need to acknowledge Clinton when a lot of us here just

assumed she'd vote "yea".

[mudesi]

27. What a pitifully short list

Even with fluff, no substance legislation, the Democrats bend over.

[Warren DeMontague]

28. I'm gonna give Hillary props when she does the right thing.

And here, she did the right thing.

[FloridaJudy]

34. Me too.

She's not my first choice candidate, but she came through on this one.

Good on you, HRC. The lady has gonads.

[BrklynLib at work]

35. Webb's and Leahy's votes confuse me. Why would they vote for that amendment?

[cui bono]

36. WTF? They're voting on their FEELINGS??? eom

[bdamomma]

37. Yea, Senator's Reed and Whitehouse.

you do me proud!!
