Lisa Murkowski was one of 20 Senators

[Ken Burch]

who refused to cosponsor the apology for the Senate's refusal to pass the anti-lynching law.

WHAT THE HELL WAS SENATOR PRINCESS THINKING?

[LisaM]

1. I don't know. She certainly defiles the fine name of LisaM

pisses me off (and I don't like her father, eiter.)

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

2. Alaska, at one time...

Was part of Russia.

Dig it.

3. I called both Anchorage and DC to give her the heads up. No dice.

I will let you know what she sends in reply. I always demand a paper reply.

[Ken Burch]

11. Thanks, roguevalley.

(BTW, does your nom de forum refer to the Rogue River area in Oregon?)

4. So just who in Alaska...

Does Lisa Murkowski think it's O.K. to lynch?:eyes:

B-)

[Ken Burch]

12. You mean other than environmentalists?

[ollie79]

5. complete list?

Where can I get the complete list? Couldn't find it on Thomas?

[Ken Burch]

6. I saw one on the Guardian Unlimited talk boards. They had a thread

discussing the resolution and who did and did not support it.

However, it wasn't there when I went back. After a Google search, I found the list on a white supremacist website(and am now spraying my keyboard, monitor and stack with disinfectant after stumbling into such a poisonous place)

Anyway, here's the list.


Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
Robert Bennett (R-UT)
Christopher Bond (R-MO)
Jim Bunning (R-KY)
Conrad Burns (R-MT)
Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)
Thad Cochran (R-MS)
Kent Conrad (D-ND)
John Cornyn (R-TX)
Michael Crapo (R-ID)
Michael Enzi (R-WY)
Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
Judd Gregg (R-NH)
Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
Trent Lott (R-MS)
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Richard Shelby (R-AL)
John Sununu (R-NH)
Craig Thomas (R-WY)
George Voinovich (R-OH)

19 Republicans and 1 Democrat

7. geez

who the heck is kent conrad...

[Ken Burch]

8. senior senator from North Dakota, and normally a decent guy

I'm thinking a brain slug attached itself to him that day.

[cleofus1]

9. are those the names of the people

who voted against it...maybe he just missed the vote or something...now i'm just looking for exscuses...

[Ken Burch]

10. Those are the names of the Senators

who refused to co-sponsor the resolution.

It puts Kent Conrad and Our Lil' Lisa in the same group with Trent Lott and That Cochran.

[cleofus1]

13. i won't pass judgement until and if i hear his reasoning

but in this case off hand i would say he blew it...

[Ken Burch]

14. My concern was more with Senator Princess's stand on this anyway.

[Blue_In_AK]

15. I thought I read somewhere that LM was just late signing on...

...with the apology because I was rather disturbed when I saw her on this list of hold-outs, too, and then was later relieved to see that she was off the list. I'm not making excuses for her, either, but I believe she may be being maligned here. RV, be sure to let us know when you hear.

[Ken Burch]

16. Thanks for additional pieces of the puzzle

[snowbear]

17. Dunno if Murky ever signed on..

But Conrad was one of the sponsors of the bill. He just didn't happen to be in DC the day it came up for a vote, but he flew in and voted the next morning.

He can be removed from the list :) ...As far as Murky, she doesn't vote by her conscious or by what the residents of Alaska want... She votes by how she can cater to King Monkey Boy. :puke:

[Ken Burch]

18. I got a note from Senator Princess saying

she DID, in fact, sponsor the resolution.

If this is correct, I retract all I said about her. On THIS piece of legislation, anyway.

[Heman]

19. what is the difference

does this make any difference?
