[snot]

1. k&r'd for accountability. nt

[elleng]

2. PLEASE

don't make me read these; I was OK before.

[roguevalley]

26. where is don young (a-hole, alaska)

[FLAprogressive]

27. He actually voted "yes" on the first vote and did not vote on the second one

[DainBramaged]

3. It looks to me like the Republicans are just screwing their coffin lids down

Assholes is too kind a word to describe them.

[petersjo02]

4. Time to get serious about getting rid of

Chuck Grassley next time around. Also Steve King, but he represents a right-wing fiefdom.

[undeterred]

5. And John warmonger McCain- good riddance.

[The_Casual_Observer]

6. See a pattern there?

[Jane Austin]

7. Well, well. Kay Bailey Hutchison broke from the herd

and split the Texas seats.

[undeterred]

8. All the women in the Senate voted in favor.

That would be really bizarre if women voted against it.

[Divine Discontent]

10. I was looking too for her name so I could laugh... she's got enough political sense to know that was

the end for her career if she voted for it... she probably HATED voting yes...

[awoke_in_2003]

11. I just checked the party affiliations...

17 female senators, 13 dem, 4 rep. Sounds about right.

[awoke_in_2003]

9. Probably to help...

get the female vote when she runs for Texas governor.

[FightingIrish]

12. I can't believe Vitter voted Nay.

I thought he was big on paying women.

[sonias]

15. ha ha - but not for equal work remember

I'm sure he thinks male prostitutes should earn more money than women prostitutes!

:rofl:


Sonia

[rucky]

19. In his defense...

he was the one wearing the diaper - not her. Though the hazard should cost him extra.

[FLAprogressive]

13. Let's not forget the five reactionary Democrats in the House who voted no

Dan Boren
Allen Boyd
Bobby not-so Bright
Travis Childers
Parker Griffith

[sonias]

14. Kay "Buffy" Hutchison actually voted yes (TX)

:wow:

KBH is planning on running for Governor of Texas, so she didn't want to piss off more than 50% of Texas voters. Obviously John "box turtle" Corndog doesn't give a shit that women earn less money than men. Fuck him!

In fact I don't see any women Senators voting against the bill. Collins and Snowe (moderate Rs) obviously voted for the bill.

Sonia

[tammywammy]

17. She's got that Gov run to worry about.

:)

[struggle4progress]

16. So looking forward to 2010 ... eom

[RubyDuby in GA]

18. I probably could have been a bit more diplomatic, but I hate my asshole senator

Here's what I sent to ol' Sackofshit Shameless:

Please explain to me (and all the women that I will be forwarding this and your answer to) why you hate women?

Obviously you do. You voted against fair pay for women by voting Nay for S181, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009. Do we not deserve equal pay for equal work? How do you explain this vote to your mother? How does Julianne feel about being married to a misogynist? What will you tell that lovely granddaughter of yours from your infamous campaign commercial?

I guess since you can't treat African Americans like second class citizens anymore, unless you want a comeuppance from our glorious new president, you must turn your inner white male rage on someone else. We already know you hate Hispanics.

Yes I want a response and don't bother with a form letter. If your minions can't get creative with dealing with your angry constituents, then you need to replace them with someone that has a brain and an imagination.

[eilen]

20. Good one!

I live in NY so don't have an angry letter to write. But the rest of my family live in TN. I wish they would move back.

[undeterred]

21. Well said.

Anyone who does not believe in equality in 2009 does not belong in government. Its appalling to me that these dinosaurs still get elected.

[unhappycamper]

22. That's an impressive list of assholes. n/t

[DS1]

23. Only one out of Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Mass, Conn, and RI

[and-justice-for-all]

24. I don't expect repukes to vote for anything we need...

and for the next 8 years, they will be whining and boohooing.

[spanone]

25. i'm sure our fair and balanced media will point out all the thugs who voted against

:sarcasm:

[Justpat]

28. All the nay votes were men.

Bastards.

[helderheid]

29. Are they all republicans too?

[undeterred]

31. Yes. All Republican men.

The worst this country has got.

[dana_b]

32. a dying breed. n/t

[Forkboy]

35. with any luck.

[helderheid]

34. Assholes.

[ColbertWatcher]

30. How can we make sure likely GOP voters will remember this in 2010? n/t

[TooRaLoo]

33. Stupid Inhofe and Coburn.

I'm gratefully leaving this state this weekend!
