1. Specter has Cancer-What's Mikulski's, Baucus's & Conrad's excuse?

:grr: They have none....

If they had been there, it would have been a tie....hmmm...that figures....

2. solution

Democrats who don't vote for socially and economically progressive laws and policies are not Democrats, they're just ... rats.

Solution in two parts: 1) people need to get active and vote those suckers out of office and replace them with better officials; and 2) Howard Dean needs to do and say something to these potential rats, refusing to support them financially and otherwise.

7. Your solution makes too much sense

so obviously it won't be done. :(

[lonestarnot]

9. Totally! n/t

[pnorman]

3. I'm not from Maryland

but I've been following her actions for quite a while. She's a frequent and honored guest at my union's technical training school in the Eastern Shore of Maryland. She's true friend of labor, and her voting record in other areas dear to us DUers, is also very good.

The question of "Where WAS she?" is always valid, but the assumption that she must be hiding somewhere, is unwarranted.

10. agreed...im in baltimore MD and think she's great NT

[DebJ]

18. I myself wasn't assuming she was hiding. Just want to know

what keeps Senators from being there when Roll Call comes.

She could well have known that the necessary 60 votes to approve an amendment would not be forthcoming, and had something else to handle that was going to be productive. As I said, I like her.

Just wondering if anyone knew.

And hoping she WILL be there to vote AGAINST the bankruptcy bill, which reduces delinquent child support to the status of credit card companies interest and fees....this will cost the states money.

[Wickerman]

4. Shocked to see Norm Coleman as a yea

Normie must be thinking of his own ambitions instead of KKKarl's for once. :eyes:

I think Dems who's state pols didn't vote should be on the phone this AM.

[MeDeMax]

6. 3 repubs & 1 independant, incl Ohio's Mike Dewine

voted AYE (assuming the list is without errors).

way to go sen dewine.

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Not surprised at Collins, but Olympia, you disappoint me.

[MaineDem]

12. They both disappoint me

They are "moderate" only when it suits them.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Olympia occasionally does something right but... just not enough, ya know?

[DemocracyInaction]

14. Maine Dem---who do we have to run against her in '06???

Damned if I can come up with a name. About the only one who could do it it Baldacci but he says he will seek another term as governor (and I sure don't want to give any chance of the repukes taking the governorship). I don't think Tom Allen would risk it. We sooooo need a 'name'.

[MaineDem]

16. I read in the Bangor Daily that there was an exploratory committee by

Jean Hay Bright of Dixmont. I don't know much about her.

[KC21304]

8. I see she also did not vote on the Santorum amendment.

Maybe she is ill.

[lonestarnot]

11. These three embarrassed about their tax cut, hanging their heads while

workers begging for peanuts... and you know this is a joke! Vote 'em OUT!

[Blue_Roses]

15. one more reason to hate republicans

what is their problem? They want people off of "welfare" or so they say, but they don't want to give people enough to live on. They make me sick. What a bunch of hypocrits.

[DebJ]

19. The issue of 'slavery' has been redefined. Economic slavery

and the same bullshit excuses: We can't afford to give (a raise) (their freedom).

[Roland99]

17. Both of the KY GOP Senators have now heard from me!

[DebJ]

20. thanks. everyone should call, to say thanks or to admonish

I already called before the vote, and gave to everyone at work the phone numbers of our reps, and alerted 30 dem committee persons to do the same.
