Who are the gang of six???
and why do they always set the guideline which are limited and wrong for the country.

Why does the media pretend that there are 3 Democrats and 3 Republicons when really there seems to be only 1 Democrat in the group.

Why does Conrad always side with the republiCONS against the American people,just like he did in the healthcare bill debate..

1. they always list Mark Warner as a "D" - and trust me - he's a bluedog repukelite
He is NOT a Dem in any way that matters. He ALWAYS votes for the corporate interests over the people.

3. Currently Warner, Conrad, Durbin, Chambliss, Coburn, and Crapo
For health reform it was Baucus, Bingamin, Conrad, Enzi, Grassley (sometimes Collins instead) and Snowe

Because they are the Senators who are roughly at the ideological center between the two parties

Because there are three Democrats, Warner, Conrad, and Durbin, and three Republicans, Chambliss, Coburn, and Crapo.

(As an aside, Pretending they are not Democrats is no more effective than Freepers' pretending Chambliss, Coburn, and Crapo aren't Republicans, which they do just as vocally as DU does to our three.)

Because he's a conservative, and has to be to get elected in his state.

4. He isn't helping so...
what's the difference. If or she were in my state they wouldn't get my vote. I don't give a damn.

These are the same folks who have been blocking everything the President has been trying to do every since he took office..

7. We always hear this excuse...
that they need to vote conservative to get elected as though people never change,do these so called conservadems ever go out and tell their constiuents the real truth?

They are really republiCONS and love to have it both ways...These are the people who give everything away before the negotiations,then they tell us this is how it has to be which is Bullshit!!!They are lining their pockets too.


I get so tired of the media trying to tell us people like Warner and the rest are the best that we can do because certain parts of the country are conservative. Conservative on what trying to make sure the rest of us catch hell...
