[Walt Starr]

The following Democratic Senators are hereby disqualified for the Democratic Nomination for president ever. They voted in favor of the bankruptcy bill:

Lincoln (D) Yes.
Pryor (D) Yes.
Salazar (D) Yes.
Biden (D) Yes.
Carper (D) Yes.
Nelson (D) Yes.
Inouye (D) Yes.

Nelson (D) Yes.
Reid (D) Yes.

And I would take Lieberman over any of them as he actually voted NO!

1. I think that list is a bit harsh

[Walt Starr]

6. The truth is harsh

and Lieberman actually had the guts to vote against the bill which cuts against those who donate to his campaigns.

[Emboldened Chimp]

20. It wasn't guts; it was political expediency.

He's been feeling the heat about voting with the majority all the time, so he cast a Nay on an important bill knowing they've got the votes to get it passed. Very astute and cynical of Holy Joe.

[kliljedahl]

27. Got that right

I'm wondering when he's gonna change parties.

[DebJ]

2. That is 18 out of 40, or 22 against...so two Repubs voted No?Who

[Walt Starr]

7. Jeffords voted in favor

He's independent.

Hillary was with her husband at the hospital. She gets a bye on this vote.

[merh]

35. Check out the list of New Democrat Coalition in this thread!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

9. Here's the list of Nay's

Boxer (D-CA)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Corzine (D-NJ)
Dayton (D-MN)
Dodd (D-CT)
Dorgan (D-ND)
Durbin (D-IL)

Schumer (D-NY)
Wyden (D-OR)

[Snotcicles]

36. I think all on that list should

call a press conference and give a detailed explaination for why they voted the way they did. They have one week, Start__ing now! The clocks ticking.

[indianablue]

3. He voted no cause he knew it would pass.

He has been getting a lot of heat lately over his fence sitting on Social Security.

Where was Clinton she did not even have th courage to vote either way.

[yankeedem]

5. She was at her husband's bedside

[Walt Starr]

12. Hillary gets a pass on this one

She voted against cloture and was at her husbands hospital bedside when this vote was taken.

[depakid]

18. Yep- his votes on the amendments said it all

Personally, I think if push came to shove, some of those who are on the 'nay" list would have jumped ship, based on their vote the last time this came up. Wyden voted for it the last time- and voted for the Medicare scam- I think he would crossed....

[Wilms]

4. Did any Repubs vote against it??

And, wow, Joe gets it. Must of been all the email he must be getting from the anti-Zell wing.

[Walt Starr]

10. Not a single Repuke voted against it

They understand how the new partisanship works, unlike pink tutu Dems.

[Jacobin]

8. Bought, bribed, and corrupted motherfuckers, one and all

Excuse me, I am being too charitable.

May these slimebag, money-grubbing, pond-scum sucking douche-bags, fall on hard times, go broke and have to feel the same consequences they are foisting on millions of americans who get into financial trouble over the next few years.

[Sydnie]

13. Never happen. They have good accountants. /end sarcasam n/t

[DebJ]

11. My updated karmic wish

I told a friend last week that Santorum and Bush need to be born again, literally, as inner-city African American handicapped children whose Dad is missing and whose Mom is a coke-addict whore.

Now I must add that Mom is filing for bankruptcy.

[Sydnie]

15. What a delicious visual you paint there

I want to come sit by you! I like it!

[DebJ]

24. welcome to my room....I'm going to update with wallpaper I think

make a "Hall of Shame" with all the bullshit bills that get passed and which Dems voted for them.
This to accompany my Hammond chart/pictures of each President, my 400 books, of which 300 are politics and history, my computer, and my little tv set constantly on CSPAN (when I bother to turn it on).

What I REALLY need is a Dart Board with Bush as the background.

[kliljedahl]

29. The Daily show had one with him in the center

I use it as my wallpaper.
Spelling (typo) edit

32. I'll post a copy for you when I get home

33. Here's One

[kliljedahl]

28. Sure that's harsh enough?

Maybe the mom should be pregnant with AIDS

[Rowdyboy]

14. I think we should disqualify ALL Democratic senators from running

for president. They can win the nomination, but their voting records leave them totally unelectable.

[Selatius]

16. If Joe Biden won the Dem nom. for prez, would you people vote for him?

I wanna test you folks on this point. If he or anyone else on this list won the parties nomination to run for president, would you people vote for him knowing what he did today with this bankruptcy bill? What is your answer?

[depakid]

19. I sure wouldn't.

I wouldn't even consider it.

and I virutally guarantee that if that were to happen- or if the Dems run any DINO's, the Greens run a strong campaign to ensure their defeat.

So as a practical matter, Dems might want to consider that-

[Walt Starr]

21. I'm keeping this list

as everybody on it is disqualified from getting my vote.

[Selatius]

23. I'm going to break this into a new thread.

[FreedomAngel82]

25. As my uncle said

this last election "I won't vote for either of those fools." If it was Biden that's how I'd feel. I couldn't bring myself to vote republican and Biden, from what I've seen of him, is just as bad as one.

[Jacobin]

31. No, because he is Vichy Dem. He's a traitor of the worst kind

He enabled the republicans to claim that this is 'bipartisan' when the blowback comes and the howling when the effects are felt by americans.

He has SMEARED democrats with the fucked up policies of republicans so it can blow back on dems.

and he did it further 12 silver pieces.

He is pond scum

[Pepperbelly]

17. I am disappointed in Pryor's vote ...

but I would far rather have him than Tim fucking Hutchinson. Pryor won big and no one is going to touch him in the primaries.

[FreedomAngel82]

22. Surpised

on Liberman and Reid. NOT REID!!!! :cry: I'm glad not to see Kerry or Clinton or Obama on there. Good for them! Of course no Kennedy.

[WillowTree]

26. Terms.

Biden - '08
Carper - '06
Nelson (Fl) - '06
Inouye - '10
Bayh - '10
Landrieu - '08
Stabenow - '06
Baucus - '08
Nelson (Ne) - '06
Reid - '10
Bingaman - '06
Conrad - '06
Johnson - '08
Byrd - '06
Kohl - '06

I'll bet they're hoping everyone will forget by then.

Just for fun, let's not.

[President Kerry]

34. let's not get crazy here..

Some people on here are throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Political expediency is - guess what? Part of fucking POLITICS!!
I have not changed my mind on Byrd and I sure as hell wouldn't want our people to vote for some Repug or get a green Dem in his place who could never the kind of backbone and articulation Robert Byrd has. All because of one vote.

[LibDemAlways]

30. Reid is supposed to be the Dem leader

in the Senate. What the hell is he voting for this POS bill for? He should be leading the charge against it.

[katinmn]

37. Check out the PAC contributors to his re-election campaign

All you have to do is follow the money.
http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/memberprofile.asp?cid=N00009922&cycle=2004&remove=P

Reid took in over $300,000 from Finance/Insurance and Real Estate.
He's not the only Dem that accepted money from the credit card companies, of course.

[KamaAina]

38. Inouye again?! Or as we sometimes say, Sen. "In-Your-Way"

First he votes for Kinda Sleazy Rice, and now this?! And in his sixth term, it's not like he's pandering for votes or anything. Sheesh.

Akaka, on the other hand, came through again with flying colors.
