* Hillary gets extra credit for speaking at election certification hearing

[DebJ]

1. cool, thanks. printing and hanging on wall!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

3. You're welcome -- Do you remember who spoke at the

certification hearing ?? I know Clinton, and Kennedy ?

[DebJ]

2. should read: TimeToGoJoementum

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. done

[Deja Q]

4. Obama a C? And wasn't Hillary attending to her hubby? Even then.

What'd Obama do to get such a low score?

And if Mr. Bill had surgery of late, I can see why Hillary was not there to vote, though if she had some sense she could have found a way to vote. She must love him a lot to help screw over us.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. Hillary and Obama both got a C since they voted for Condi.

Hillary got extra credit for speaking up at the certification hearing. Obama spoke too huh?

[Withywindle]

10. Yeah, he did.

But the real head-scratcher here is that all three of the B Senators voted YES on that godawful bankruptcy bill - seems to me that mattered a more than the Rice vote.

You've left out some major committee votes too, like the "Clear Skies" (ecchh!) vote yesterday in E&PW, for example.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

It's all a matter of what I think is important. Voting for Rice is a

mortal sin, to me. I am going to add more votes to it. What I find interesting is that is kind of maps out the party -- the leftists, the centrists and the conservatives (or traitors)

[DELUSIONAL]

5. Reid get no grade?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. Sorry spelled his name wrong -- he's there - just fixed

[DELUSIONAL]

9. Thanks -- I even used the search -- thinking that I was just

missing his name.

So he gets a D.

Not good for a "leader" is it?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. It is strange how he seems to push the right things but votes

wrong.

[Massacure]

11. You put too much weight on Rice.

Feingold and Obama deserve better than a C.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. I think supporting Rice was close to treason. She knew about

9-11 and did nothing and she perpetuated the lies on Iraq - she is the devil incarnate as far as I am concerned. sorry

[Massacure]

19. The entire Admin should be blamed. You cannot just put it on Rice.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Yes, I love everyone else, I just hate her. (sarcasm)

[Idioteque]

12. You forgot the horrible class action bill! n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. Okay, thanks. I will look up the votes and repost....

[ProudToBeLiberal]

16. wtf Feingold a C?

um the one sole senator who voted against the patriot act? He has an independent mind. I would think that's a plus. He votes in what he believes in.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. well there is nothing factored in besides votes. And he got a c

purely because it was the grade of the next notch down.

[Hippo_Tron]

27. Which is why these "report cards" are bullshit

This is just another way of saying, lets bash every dem senator who isn't 100% in lockstep with the DU ideologoy.

I like a lot of people on this list, including Barbara Boxer, but I'd take Feingold over her for President any day.

[ArtVandaley]

18. I'd switch the B and C criteria

Condi being confirmed was symbolic, but it really didn't mean anything. While confirming Gonzalez makes the country look worse for celebrating a man who approves of torture, moving an existing member of Bush's national security team to another position really doesn't change anything. Rice had more influence than Powell anyway. And plus, she doesn't influence Bush, she just does whatever he tells her. If it wasn't her, he would have put some other spineless flunky in the spot.
I think the bankrupcy bill is much more important, for it will actually affect the lives of normal Americans.

[serryjw]

20. I would support a Clark/Boxer ticket............

What does everyone think? It is isn't bad at balancing the country, either

[July]

22. Akaka is listed as both an A and C senator. nt

[marcologico]

23. A for Akaka (no on Rice, Gonzalez, Class Action, and Bankruptcy) nt

[sadiesworld]

24. It's really going to suck to lose Dayton.

:(

[WI_DEM]

25. So Lieberman actually voted against the Bankruptsy bill?

well, I got to hand it to him for that.

[sadiesworld]

26. I'm sure he's just saving himself for SS.

Or maybe the talk of running a real dem against him has the idiot running scared.
