dear Patti Murray, why so many breast mea culpas, if in the end, you did

[flordehinojos]

vote to confirm john roberts?

and the streaming thing on the t.v. as she was speaking said there are 18 senate democrats who will vote to confirm roberts.

we are betrayed one more time and perhaps more deeply than we far ever imagined!

[Rainscents]

1. She did vote for Roberts?

I thought, vote will be on Thursday?

[flordehinojos]

2. well, when she said she IS voting for roberts i turned off the t.v.

...perhaps she was just making her floor speech--but according to what she said in the end, after so many mea culpas, she said she WOULD vote for him.

4. Oh man, I'm so disappointed.

And a little surprised. I figured Cantwell WOULD vote for Roberts, but says she won't. Murray had not said anything before today, but I thought she would vote against him. Go figger. :shrug:

3. nothing surprises me anymore.

5. Dear Senator in tennis shoes.....

....I have supported you in every election so far.
....I called your office this morning and let you know that I do NOT support that roberts guy...
....Today is filled with so much good news for us Dems.....
....Except for this....
....I and my 1 little vote will not forget.
....nor shall anyone else here in the Democratic Underground
....did you know that there are almost 80,000 members here in the DU?
....if you divide that number by 50 you find the number of voters you may have just lost!
....I have seen both Sen. Jim McDermott and Sen. Jay Inslee fighting alongside the great John Conyers more than once on C-Span.
....Those three are my heros because they are fighting to restore Democracy to America.
....Call them sometime k?
