The 105 Capitulators

Below the fold I have the list of the 105 Democrats that voted to shred our 4th Amendment rights. As you'll see, the group is made up almost entirely of members of either/both the New Democrat Coalition or the Blue Dog Coalition. In addition to members from those two caucuses, almost every remaining offender is either a member of the leadership, holds an important chairmanship, sits on Silvestre Reyes' Intelligence Committee, or represents New York's metro region (and therefore might fear getting blamed for a terror attack).

[liberalskeptic]

1. Great post, remember these names, never forget those

that signed the anti-bill of rights.

[Aptastik]

2. Very surprised to see the Long Island delegation on that list

My representative (Bishop) will be getting a strongly worded letter.

[stillcool]

20. I was surprised to see that too...

I no longer live in New York, but am familiar with him. I never would have expected this of him.

[Supersedeas]

3. Laura Richardson and Nita Lowey voted for this??

[Danmel]

4. Thankfully, my Congressman is not there

He is the only member of the Long Island Delegation who did not support his capitulation.

Steve Israel.


I amde a point of calling his office today to thank him and called some friends to encourage them to so the same.

[Berry Cool]

25. Neither is mine, Stephanie Tubbs Jones.

I may just have to choke back my annoyance at her Hillary fandom and thank her.

[Subdivisions]

5. Chet Edwards: Traitor. n/t

[tekisui]

6. Shuler-Blue Dog.

I so wanted to vote him out in a Primary, but the Powers that Be didn't allow a Primary opponent. They wanted to hold their worthless majority.

[niyad]

7. k & r

mark udall isn't my rep (alas, that idiot lamborn is) but, he IS running for wayne allard's senate seat. will be making a call shortly. we don't need TWO dem dino's from this state (salazar)

[formercia]

8. I hope I live long enough

and get the chance to piss on the graves of every one of these TRAITORS.

[roguevalley]

9. look at all those bastards. I loathe them with the fire of a thousand suns.

[kansasblue]

10. Get pissed ...some action you can take listed here.

http://www.actblue.com/page/fisa

Watch the money rolling in

All the money raised will go to fund accountability for congressmembers supporting retroactive immunity and warrantless wiretaps.

[Stardust]

11. Well, so much for calling and writing our reps - Howard Berman sucks.

:puke:

[derby378]

12. And of course, most of them cast this vote AFTER the primaries

The ones who haven't clinched their primaries yet - well, you know what to do.

[flvegan]

13. Pelosi. What a shock.

[jillan]

14. You know what makes this so hard? Is knowing the asshole republicans that they replaced.

I don't know what's worse.

Before we had this psycho -

JD Hayworth - repuke on steriods -
and were so excited when we replaced him with a nice, retired High School teacher - a Dem - Harry Mitchell - who turns around and votes for immunity for the telecoms.

What is worse?
The nutcase or the Dem?
I don't know anymore :(

[THX1138]

34. OMG

I had forgotten. We have to make an exception here. Hayworth = DEFINITELY WORSE!!!!!

I am so glad to not have to see or listen to that goon anymore. He was such a smarmy fuck. And he had this 2nd rate RW radio jock shtick that was just nauseating. Like the illegitimate love child of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

[Vinca]

15. Well, thankfully my Rep., Paul Hodes, isn't there.

Carol Shea-Porter from the other side of the state isn't there, either. This has got to be killed in the Senate.

[PaDUer]

16. Carney??--replaced Sherwood...

remember him? Had the mistress in DC who sued his ass..Carney, wow, he's intelligence for Navy Reserves & taught political science at PSU...wonder what they have on him?

-edit-
for this goody--
http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/pa10_carney/FISA62008.html

What a JOKE!!

[tbyg52]

17. Traitors. Oh well, what did I expect from my Blue Dog, Lampson nt

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

18. Well, well, well. My Congresscritter name's on the list but

doesn't surprise me. Dan Lipinski is a DINO but we can't seem to get rid of him. Last February he made sure he split the votes once again in the 3rd IL so the real Democrat Mark Pera couldn't win.
He disgusts me.

I'm surprised too Luis Guttierez voted for this abdomination. I thought he had more sense, but I guess not.

[asdjrocky]

19. Phone calls-

Letters, emails. None of it seems to make a bit of difference. I'm really just about ready to give up.

Anyone know of countries friendly to expatriates? Someplace that needs english speaking people?

[stillcool]

24. there needs to be more...

it is so odd that in the internet age where communication is so easy, so many of us are still unaware of what our government is doing on a daily basis. I am fortunate that my reps tend to vote in the interests of the people, but at the same time I feel all the more powerless.

[Hekate]

21. My Rep Lois Capps is not on this list, God love her. She holds steady. nt

[Yukari Yakumo]

22. You need to change one of them...

To this:

Pelosi, Nancy- Speaker of the House, Appeaser Extraordinaire

[Raksha]

23. My Blue Dog rep is on it - Joe Baca.

I'm sorry I voted for him in the primary. Tomorrow I'll call his office and tell them I'll vote for the Green in November.

[rockymountaindem]

26. And to think I was going to canvass for Udall this weekend

Now, maybe not. This is pretty deflating.

[Leopolds Ghost]

27. I thot Boyda was against it. Good to see Cazayoux, Melancon, Schuler and other "southern populists"

Live up to the authoritarian, xenophobic, tradition of fake Southern populism.

[Leopolds Ghost]

28. You guys need to go to these hawkish districts and CHAIN people's conception of "Blue Dog" to this.

"Blue Dog" = "authoritarian anti-privacy insiderism."

"New Democrat" = "neoliberal big business corporatocrat."

Make sure "conservative" and liberal and independents
in these red districts understand what these people stand for.

The only way to fight is to move the Overton window left.

Get out in front of the American people in right-wing
districts and expose the lies that these center-right
Dems are "pro-freedom." Explain how only a swing to the
left will protect them from Congressional and neocon overreaching.

[zorahopkins]

29. Murtha? Hastings? WTF?

Murtha and Hastings both voted FOR this abomination????

WTF is up with that???

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

30. Baird - New Democrat who calls himself "progressive".

My rep. The one who lost my vote when he decided to back the war and said that the military "deserves more time and money" to achieve their goals.

Now this.

He votes...I vote.

[Breeze54]

31. Book Marking!! --- I asked for a list like this earlier!!!

Thanks!!!!! :D

:toast:

[HCE SuiGeneris]

32. Gabi Giffords got an earful... and she will see no money from me ever again.

:grr: :grr: :grr:

[windoe]

33. RIP US Constitution

and now that soon our internet will be infiltrated, I wonder if we need to think about a real democratic underground. How the f*ck are we going to communicate then, pony express?

[Joanne98]

35. Mine is there. Space.. How fast they bow down....

TO THE CORPORATIONS!!!
