Senate to approve 87.5B without roll call vote

[spanone]

In other words the ayes will "have it" without any particular senator having to own up to his/her vote. This is total bullshit. These bunch of pansyshits should be responsible for thier votes. AMERICA DESERVES BETTER. Truly shameful.

[ramapo]

1. We've come a long way baby

Gutless wonders

[Hieronymus]

4. Yes,

gutlless wonders says it very well. The Democrats in congress have surely failed us Democrats.:grr:

[Benhurst]

2. The United States Senate

As Bette Davis would say, "What a dump!"

[edzontar]

3. They should all be, y'know....

Ashamed of themselves.

Whores and traitors.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

5. Kerry and Edwards opposed it.

along with 9 other Senators.

[derby378]

7. You mean...

...Kerry and Edwards are serious about wanting the Democratic nomination in 2004? Way to friggin' go, guys!

[tom_paine]

6. AMERICA might deserve better, but Amerika (the Empire)

deserves nothing but to lick the boots of their Bushevik Masters...

[izzie]

8. Scary we may as well give up.

Please let none from Congress run on the Dem ticket. Crooks and weak willed SOB's

9. The only "good" thing about this secret vote

Is that these pricks don't want their names attached to the Quagmire anymore.

Heh heh heh.

Coming back to bite these moronic chickenshits in the ass. Not a moment too soon.

They should all be tossed out on their fat butts for authorizing Smirk to invade Iraq (except the valiant few who fought it and VOTED AGAINST IT)

[meti57b]

12. yeah, okay ... i see your point. .. good point ....

I'll hold on to that thought.

[Dhalgren]

10. This really does smack of the Roman Senate

and the way it rubber-stamped the Emperor's wishes. I am afraid we have "crossed the Rubicon", here, kids. If you had any doubts that we are now a full-fledged empire, here is the image to convince you. Hail Ceasar! What a thing to live to see...the end of the Republic. It slaps us in the face every day and tomorrow it will grind us under foot.

[meti57b]

11. Disgusting! They throw away $87B of our money that we need right here.....

at home in our own country and they cannot even bother to call the roll. .... a real slap in the face of our people and nation.

[sendero]

13. and folks wonder...

... why many of us DISQUALIFY anyone currently sitting in the senate as a presidential candidate. Bastards.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

15. and i'm writing to each and everyone of them to let them know just what

slimebags they are and that we have their number!

[bearfartinthewoods]

17. even the ones who will vote against it?

:wtf:

[htuttle]

19. If any of them were against it...

...Why wouldn't they demand a roll call vote?

[jokerman93]

14. It can only mean

there will be hell to pay for all this.

Hell to pay, everyone knows it, and no one is willing to foot the bill when it comes due.

We should be afraid I think.

[Wickerman]

16. Link?

I want to know their rationale for this one. Who proposed it? What spineless weiners. Hell, they give spineless weiners a good name.

[htuttle]

18. Doesn't it only take a single Senator to call for a roll call?

I don't know how it works in the Senate, but the way Robert's Rules has been implemented everywhere I've actually used it is that all it takes is a single person eligible to vote to say, "Roll Call!", and you get a roll call vote.

It seems that even the ones who might be against it are being complicit in covering for the rest.

20. Once again, the Supreme Court sets a shining example!

Does this remind anyone else of how they wouldn't sign off on the bu$h v. Gore opinion?

:grr:
