Name Democratic Congressmen and Senators that will vote with *

[indianablue]

On privatizing social security.

I am from a very red state with only one 'Democratic' Senator and only 2 Democratic congressmen.

I submit Evan Bayh will vote to privatize when and if it is brought to a vote.

How many others in the party will also betray the party's most successful program?

1. When he is not wrapped up licking --

-- Bush's boots, I imagine Senator Lieberman will be VERY accommodating with his votes in support of the president's agenda.

I think you are right about Senator Bayh, too. Sad to say.

[Racenut20]

I don't think Bayh will vote for it. Just a gut feeling.

[indianablue]

5. Bayh may not if it is sure to pass...gives him some cover that way.

[saltpoint]

8. I hope you're right.

I know his father would not have supported a little pissant like Bush.

[indianablue]

10. Well his father is the main reason why he ever got anywhere..

you have to admit he is more moderate than he should be in my opinion but of course we are talking about Indiana.

Most people in Indiana would rather vote for a member of the taliban before they would vote democrat.

So he is under alot of pressure top stay central otherwise he would never get elected here.

[saltpoint]

11. Agreed.

But I fantasize about every state having two liberal U.S. Senators.

In this fantasy, the models would be Robert Kennedy, Paul Wellstone, Ramsey Clark, Russ Feingold, etc.

In the same fantasy, in the grand finale scene, all the conservative Republican senators are rounded up like cattle and driven over a very high cliff. As they fall to their deaths, huge mythic raptors swoop in and gnaw their flesh to the bone.

2. Those who won't would probably be a shorter

list, I'm sure that Barbara Boxer (my Senator here in CA) will NOT vote with chimp as for Diane Feinstein :shrug: 50/50 but I lean toward her not.

[Blue_State_Elitist]

6. I think Feinstein would vote against it

It's said that I have to type the word "think" instead of "know."

[Piperay]

14. Yeah, that's what I meant

I *think* Feinstein will vote against the chimp's plan, I KNOW Boxer will against it.

3. Holy Joe Lieberman...

can always be counted on to do what his masters wish.

Perhaps a better question might be, "Name the few Senators that will vote against * when he tries to privatize Social Security."

4. Looserman Kerry etal. I believe the only one who will stand

against the fascists is Robert Byrd. It's over people we had a good run at democracy but now the fourth Reich has arisen.

[Blue_State_Elitist]

7. Which Republicans, if any, will vote against it?

n/t

[indianablue]

9. Perhaps someone not running again ....

only way that will probably happen. One way out would be some would say they do not want to raise the debt.

[ReelBigSpikey]

15. New England Repubs are not gonna go with Bush

Sen. Olympia Snow of Maine will most likely vote against privatization. So will Sen. Lincoln Chafee (RI) in all likelihood.

[NoFederales]

12. Probable RepublicanLite

Ike Skelton of Missouri is a suspect.

13. I heard Mitch McConnell on one of

the Sunday shows say that some of the Red State Dems will be voting with them on Social Security. How can it be that 100 selfish, greedy assholes can decide the fate of millions of people? Did we do this?
