How I feel about the House Dems right about now...

[Danger Mouse]

:grr: :argh: :banghead: :freak: :puke:

[fizzgig]

1. you and me both, hun

and i'll be feeling the same way about senate dems here shortly

[Danger Mouse]

3. i'm sure.

:hug: at least we have each other. we can be furious with the Dems together.

eclair-spined ninnies :grr:

[fizzgig]

4. ooooh

but that does look tasty (i am such a fat kid)

:rofl:

check your pm

[SPKrazy]

2. There all sellouts!

owned by the corporate multinational universe

trust me on this, party affiliations aside, it's all about the money for so many of them

:shrug:

[Danger Mouse]

6. Remember the hope that we had back in November?

The hope that everything would change?

Here's the lord and master of our party, according to some DUer's...Holy Joe Lieberman. We should all bow before him in order to appease the mighty Joe!!!
That hope has been pissed on, shit on, and spat on.
So much for hoping things would change.

[SPKrazy]

7. Oh, I Never Had Any Such Hopes

I've known there are sellouts in our ranks for a long time.

I happen to be sort of related to one as a matter of fact, watched him go from Dem, to indy, to Repub over a short period of time.

It is all about the game, the money, the power.

It is out of control.

[Danger Mouse]

12. Kerry, Feingold, and Dodd...three Dems with actual spine.

Maybe the ONLY ones.

[NC_Nurse]

5. At least my congressman voted no.

One of the few good ones in this red state.

[greatauntoftriplets]

8. Hey, mine voted NO!!!

:D

[Danger Mouse]

14. How can I check?

I doubt mine voted no, but I'd like to see anyway.

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. Here ya go...

http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2007/roll425.xml

I am uncertain about the Senate vote at present. Just to know that it passed. Grrrrr.

[Danger Mouse]

25. My rep voted with the repukes. Thanks for nothing, Gillibrand!

:puke:

[Joe Fields]

40. at least my congressman voted no (Cleaver)

small consolation...:nuke:

[AlCzervik]

9. It just passed in the senate.

[Joe Fields]

10. I feel like someone just let all the air out of my hope for America...

Al Gore, we need you.

P.S. bring plenty of backbone

[AlCzervik]

11. He'll be on The Daily show tongiht and Letterman.

[Danger Mouse]

13. I hope he brings some outrage with him.

I can't believe the Dems did this.
They've betrayed us all.
They've betrayed the troops, their base, and their country, and right now, are little better than Bush.

[AlCzervik]

16. i've been "CALL THE CONGRESS RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!!11" all day, i think my fingers

are going to start bleeding. I've called so many of them today i've lost track.

[Joe Fields]

34. how did you manage to stay calm, or did you?

I was too angry to call today. But I have a list of people I'm calling tomorrow and next week, starting with Pelosi and Reed. They made a big mistake, and a backlash is coming...

[AlCzervik]

42. i stayed calm, i write things out first so i don't get super emotional

i stay on my script with a bit of improvising. the minute you start yelling they stop listening. My nephew did a year in Afghanistan and 2 tours in Iraq and we don't when or where he's going next but every time he goes it feels more ominous than the time before and then telling my daughter "Johnny is going back to Iraq" and she just falls apart but i have to tell her and i just don't want to ever have to do that again.

[Tyler Durden]

39. That's "CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!"

If you're going to use it, you gotta get it right.

[AlCzervik]

43. sorry Tyler, my fingers are tired. i'll try harder.

[Joe Fields]

31. I'll be tuned in

:hi: :pals:

[Justpat]

15. What Joe Fields said.

That comment sums up my feelings completely.

[Danger Mouse]

17. Hope, yes. How sad to feel it die so slowly.

IF OBAMA AND HILLARY VOTED FOR THIS SHIT NEITHER OF THEM WILL GET MY VOTE.

[AlCzervik]

18. they voted "No" after if it was safe. it passed with a big margin.

[Danger Mouse]

19. Like true cowards. They didn't come out against it. Unlike Dodd.

Who was against it from the beginning.
I don't know much about Dodd. Is he worth a damn? Maybe I need to support him, if I can't count on Obama or Hillary to show and leadership.
Damn I wish Kerry would run again...

[AlCzervik]

21. i keep hoping for Gore, if not i don't know who yet. It's still too early for me

to decide and so much can happen in the next 9 months.

[Danger Mouse]

22. Gore would be nice, but I doubt he will.

I hope the MSM wouldn't go after him so viciously the second time around, but he's a hero nowadays...he's the 'might have been'...the path our country could have (and SHOULD have) gone down...

[Joe Fields]

35. are we going to know how they voted? I heard they were going to

pull some procedural shenannigans to keep the roll call from the public.

[AlCzervik]

[Joe Fields]

41. thanks, Damn, Claire McCaskill voted yes...grrrrrr...

[Danger Mouse]

44. Obama and Clinton voted no, but lacked the courage to speak out...

unlike Dodd.

[AlCzervik]

45. they have both put out statements but they played it safe, they voted no

after they already knew it would pass. I am so frustrated right now.

[Danger Mouse]

46. Now we know where they stand. On the side of SAFETY.

Which is why one of the two of them will likely be nominated.
After all, why bother picking someone with COURAGE?

[fizzgig]

47. i expected as much from allard

hey, ken salazar


FUCK YOU you worthless turncoat sack of shit


:nuke:

[SPKrazy]

48. turncoat?

hell he's a red state democrat

just like my red state democrats

:grr:

[Danger Mouse]

51. turncoat?

more like 'bend over and spread your cheeks'

[AlCzervik]

49. Feinstein voting yes was no surprise at all. Boxer voted no.

[AlCzervik]

38. link for house, way too many names, makes for a really long column.

http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2007/roll425.xml

[Danger Mouse]

20. And let me just add...

the Senate Dems as well...
:mad: :mad: :puke: :puke: :eyes: :eyes: :crazy: :crazy: :silly: :wtf: :argh: :argh: :freak: :freak: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :hurts: :hurts: :spank: :spank: :spank: :grr: :grr: :grr: :nuke: :scared: :scared: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :yoiks:

[acmavm]

24. Well, those long distance calls and the e-mails don't mean a damn thing.

Tonight was proof positive where their loyalites lie.

[Danger Mouse]

26. They don't give a shit about us.

But they will when they don't get our votes next time their worthless asses are up for re-election.

[Arugula Latte]

27. This is how I feel about The Traitors:

[Danger Mouse]

29. DAMN EFFIN STRAIGHT MY FRIEND.

Traitors they are, because they stand shoulder to shoulder with the greatest Traitor of all...

[Joe Fields]

36. well said...

[TOhioLiberal]

28. did you see...

Keith Olbermann's (:loveya: ) rant last night? He reamed the Dems out good and proper. Here's the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvNt_HMeCb4

[Danger Mouse]

30. I saw, and it was beautiful.

I hope some of those spineless ninnies heard Keith's words and felt shame.
Oh, who am I kidding? The Dems have deluded themselves into thinking they've won a victory.
Here's what Bush thinks:

[SPKrazy]

32. Apparently they didn't listen to him

but then did anyone really think they would?

i've been around long enough to be a jaded cynic when it comes to the political game, it is a game to them, it isn't real, it's become surreal to many Americans, but to most, it is very real when the policies fuck us over.

Something like 70% of Americans think we should be out of Iraq.

Now we've sealed our fate by hanging with this failed prez.

:grr:

I'd be really mad, but my mad on this stuff is about gone.

I'd be mad all the time if I got mad about it much.

I vote, I always vote. I pay my taxes. I do my part, I could do more, but dammit, I don't believe we have a system that is working the way it was intended to work.

It is not a fucking career path to be a politician, or it was never intended to be. Until we fix that part, we will be electing those who could take either side of an argument, going to the highest bidder.

:grr:
