2. So they base this on the fact that Reid said he hadn't read it yet...
...and Lieberman spewed some meaningless, mealy-mouthed diahrrea??

:eyes:

NGU.

4. Then I reckon it is up to us, the American people to support Feingold.

Remember how they listened when folks heard the UAE would be running our major ports? They will act, but they must be prodded by the American people.

3. Cheney says in the article that the American people have made their choice
and they support the President. Didn't I just another new article with a another new low for his approval ratings? And hasn't the public consistently been very against the president's spying program?

Cheney got it half. The people have made their choice. Censure him!

6. We only have 24 hours to make our voices heard.
The vote will be tomorrow at 5:30PM. They are scared. Frist tried to have the vote today at 5:30PM!

Bush is down. No time to let up!

9. mine-sending to WP,Dallas Morning news,and my local paper
Today, March 13,2006,a senator did a courageous thing. He risked his political clout and reputation to attempt to protect his constituents from a violation of their civil liberties. When Senator Russ Feingold introduced a motion to censure regarding the president’s illegal wiretapping of American citizens, he was acting as a true public servant, looking after our best interests, and not his own. Regardless of whether this motion to censure is carried out, Senator Feingold has established himself as a man of true character, not a partisan hack. I support the investigation of the NSA tappings,the lobbying graft, the initiation of war on false pretenses, and any number of other crimes and conflicts of interest committed by so many in the Bush administration. I hope that Democrats and republicans of true moral character will put aside their partisan interests and investigate these breeches of our Constitution.Remember,a “War against Terror” can last forever, giving the next president even more unsupervised power.

7. Hugh surprise here:
Some Democrats quickly sought to distance themselves from Feingold's request.

Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.) said he would prefer to "solve the problem" rather than scold the president. A censure does not result in a sanction.


:sarcasm:

8. Any Dem Senator that does not vote for this...
should not be in the Dem Party.
