Is anyone else here sick of our U.S. Senators?

[DemGirl7]

I used to be happy them representing New York, but I've grown to dislike them, especially Clinton, I think I may dislike her even more than the republicans dislike her. I never used to dislike her this much before, but since she's been in the Senate, I've dislike many of her stances, because they have been very much like the stances of republicans. And now that she seems to be the only Blue state Democratic woman who seems to be not having a fit over Judge Roberts stance on Roe V. Wade, As a woman and a Democrat I'm feeling like I'm going to get stabbed in the back. I thought she was pro-choice, what happened to that, oh yeah I forgot it's time to kiss the butts of these "so-called" pro-lifers, and I'm thinking of not even voting for Senator in 2006...I want someone I know that is a True Democrat to be a Senator for NY . Does anyone else feel the same way??



P.S.: Sorry about the :rant:, I just very :mad: sometimes, and can go on rambling.

1. sorry but I love my Sen

There aren't too many Russ Feingold's though

2. What makes you think Hillary doesn't want to

preserve Roe? She has not changed her position one iota. I also would not be surprised if she voted against Roberts. Really! :)

4. It's just that when the anounment came of Roberts

and his stance, she acted that it was no big deal, while all the other Blue-state Democratic Female senators, seemed to have a little fit vowing that they would fight. And the fact she's been going to these conferences and such with some NY anti-choice groups way upstate, worries me a little that she is not on one side anymore, but wants to be in the middle.

3. Not at all, I like my Sens

I think my Sens. Kerry & Kennedy are doing a very good job. I like them a lot.

6. so many have swung so far to the right...

They may as well be Republicans.

7. I've had it with Hillary and the DLC

but I still feel good about Schumer, and my rep, Hinchey, is one of the best.

12. Hinchey! The big Mo!

Long live the NYSCD 22 powerhouse! :kick:

8. I am, but Rove picking Pirro will make me vote for Hillary where otherwise

I might stayed home.

9. Not in the least

Hillary hasn't actually taken that many actions to move her to the right, she's just used words. Once she starts voting like a right-winger is when I'll be angry. I also think Schumer is great. One of the best Dems on opposing extremist right judges.

10. Uh, voting for the war resolution and chidding Code Pink that

"she did it for our own good - 911 and all those valid reasons" - are they actions or words in your book?
FYI: Code Pink - women group protesting the war.

[Infomaniac]

11. I'll still vote for her

...but I'm not enthusiastic. Meeks is my Congressional rep and I'll write in a vote for Satan before I vote for that prig.

[lcordero2]

13. I'm not voting for them under any circumstances from here on in

[BL611]

14. I will happily vote for both of them...

[PATRICK]

15. My split emotions

I like respect and support them both. Both however, on issues and in public speaking are inadequate and not too inspiring in dealing with real world evils represented by the Bushistas. Naivete like that is rare on DU, maybe more commonplace on the left side of Foggy Bottom, but a real drain on presidential gravitas IMHO. They are not alone among Dem Senatorial contenders for higher office in that regard. On specifics there have been specific instances when one can justly get very angry with either of them, most especially Hillary, but that is is part of the swamping bigger problems I just stated.

I am at least glad we are not represented by Smoking Joe or his like. Once spoiled by RFK- who was not "perfect" either- it is a tough act to follow. Too bad, this is a strong state to really test the appeal of upfront progressive and Truthful representation and daring leadership with zeal and intelligence. If they BOTH could keep one eye away from trying to woo Kansas or Iowa conservatives they might find more exciting opportunities for real leadership right here at home.
