My repuke Senator makes me sick. :puke:

[SeattleGirl]

1. BOTH of my Senators voted Nay.

I knew Murray was going to, but I wasn't sure if Cantwell would do that or not.

[magellan]

2. MIA: Biden, Clinton, Dodd, Obama

"Oh well, we're going to lose this one too, so why bother?"

MFers.

[Mind_your_head]

12. It's totally RIDICULOUS that the folks wanting to get the Dem nomination

won't state their position on such an important subject/vote, isn't it????

Spineless, UNDEDICATED ~ whores ~ (truly they sell themselves, their votes to the highest bidder! It's soooooooooooooooo obvious!) :angry: :angry: :mad: :mad: :disgusted: :disgusted:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

17. Well, this discussion might make you feel better.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3700039&mesg_id=3700039

As always, more there than what it seems. MKJ

[magellan]

18. It was important enough not just to vote on but to filibuster

Imagine if one of them had done THAT? I'm for Kucinich, but I would have seriously considered any of the other Dem candidates with the cajones to lead a filibuster of Mukasey. Now it's just too damn late, I've seen too much of this waffling, gutless BS over the last 3 years. There's nothing to admire in their absence from this vote. It's INEXCUSABLE.

edited to add: I note BleedingHeartPatriot's explanation for their absence in the link below. Supposedly Reid scheduled the vote tonight at a request from the REPUBS, and these four didn't have time to get back to DC. How hilarious. He surrendered outright.

[debbierlus]

43. Shame, shame, shame on the Presidential candidate no shows.

[Mme. Defarge]

45. Dear God in heaven!

How dare they not vote. All I can say, if any of them gets the nomination, is that I'm not voting.

8. Blue dogs? More like yellow belly pigs

Feinstein needs to go

Last year woulda been fine...

Never trusted Schumer and Bayh

Lieberman, yep, you got that right.

[rpannier]

13. Feinstein's vote just makes me ill and her rationale makes me sicker...

scrubbo may have recessed appointed someone worse.

By her logic, "If scrubbie had proposed Mussolini, she'd have voted for him because scrub might have then chosen Hitler as a recess appointment."

She's useless.

[brentspeak]

15. Senators are not members of the Blue Dog coalition

Only House members are.

[TSIAS]

19. Technically

They call themselves "New Democrats", which is essentially synonymous with Blue Dog House Reps.

This is the latest list I found, with Lieberman likely gone from that group.

Sen. Max Baucus of Montana
Sen. Thomas R. Carper of Delaware
Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota
Sen. Tim Johnson of South Dakota
Sen. Herb Kohl of Wisconsin
Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana
Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut
Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas
Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida
Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska
Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas
Sen. Ken Salazar of Colorado
Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan

At least a few of them, including Bill Nelson, Salazar, Lincoln, and Pryor decided not to betray us this time.

But of the 5 Dems who did vote to confirm, only Schumer and Feinstein aren't formally alligned with the NDN.

[emilyg]

4. Both of mine - Yea

[TwilightGardener]

5. Mine both yea (Nelson and Hagel)--oh well. It is to be expected.

[Eric J in MN]

6. Thanks, I was waiting to see how my Senators voted.

My Republican Senator voted to confirm Mukasey, and my Democratic Senator voted not to.

(I'm in MN.)

[OzarkDem]

7. Thanks, Sherrod Brown!

Voinovich voted yes, as expected.

[HughBeaumont]

21. Voinovich, unless faced with a good opponent, will probably remain a Senator.

Because Ohio's stupid and loves name-recognition graced morans. GOD that guy sucks. Complete obstructionist and Bewsh rubberstamp.

Thankfully, he's countered with Sherrod Brown, who very rarely makes an error in voting.

[OzarkDem]

29. Lee Fisher is trying to start a rumor

that he will get the job. ;-)

As Ohio turns more blue there are more chances for Dems.

[HughBeaumont]

38. I'm wondering how well Lee Fisher would do in the South, though.

He'd have the North locked. No amount of Swift Boating would save Voinovich there.

[Staph]

9. I am surprised but pleased.

Robert Byrd said that he would vote for Mukasey, as he (Byrd) thought that Presidents should be given the nominees of their choice.

But he did the right thing and voted Nay! Good on ya, Bobby!

[rpannier]

10. What most disgusts me about the Bushdog Dems is who voted Yea is

Both Arkansas Senators voted No, Nelson of FL voted No, Casey PA voted No, American Hero Jim Webb voted No, Mc Caskill and Salazar voted No.

They have no excuse except they are totally worthless representatives.

[OzarkDem]

22. They had nothing to lose by voting Yes

:shrug:

[Breeze54]

11. Both of mine said No Way!

Kennedy (D-MA), Nay
Kerry (D-MA), Nay

As expected. :loveya:

Thanks for posting this, Nutmegger! :D

[Gonzo Gardener]

14. Bayh (D-IN), Yea, Lugar (R-IN), Yea

:puke:

[lateo]

27. I've come to expect that from Bayh.

What a turd he has turned out to be.

[Stephanie]

16. Clinton (D-NY), Not Voting

Say no more.

[maine_raptor]

28. If you notice from that list

NONE of the presidential candidates (D or R) that are currently in the Senate voted.

Now there's a "Profile in Courage" for ya!

[Turn CO Blue]

39. I noticed that too. No candidates R or D voted. Cowards!

[Lochloosa]

20. Sen Bill Nelson (D-FL) voted NAY. I am beyond shocked!

I will have to call his office and thank him today.

He must be hearing the rumblings from the little people.

[Sancho]

24. I called and wrote Nelson about this and told him I expected a No vote.

I think a lot of us must be having an influence. Let's keep it up!

[LWolf]

23. My senators split.

The D voted nay, the R voted yea.

At least Wyden voted "nay." A note of thanks is in order.

Happily, the R, Gordon Smith, is vulnerable in '08.

[Tripper11]

25. Both WA Sens voted NAY!

Murray and Cantwell....way to go ladies!!!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

26. Bill Nelson voted no. Good.

Sometimes his name ends up on the wrong side of things. Glad to know he got it right this time.

[Patsy Stone]

30. Stunning isn't it?

I fully expected to see a "Y" next to his name. All right, Bill!

[flyarm]

37. very stunning...maybe the first ney he voted apposed to the rest of the cowards who vote against

our values.

i called his office 10+ times..and said he better not vote for this war crimes coverup AG!

fly

[Patsy Stone]

47. Good for you!

He heard you!

:loveya:, Mama!

[Alter Ego]

31. Yep, Kerry and Kennedy--no way and FUCK NO.

Those two make me proud to be a Masshole.

[formercia]

32. I can't believe Snowe voted yea.

Collins, on the other hand is a proven Bush Bot. Her butt is on the line in 2008.

[maine_raptor]

33. Oh I can

In fact I expected her too. Olympia! is just as much a BushBot as Susan when it comes to the WOT. Susan may go down to defeat in '08 (I hope), but getting rid of Olympia! on the next go around would be a very sweet victory.

That sorry trio of Susan, Olympia!, and her husband Jock (now a DC lobbyist) has done more to hurt Maine than any I can think of now.

[bdamomma]

36. what is with those two women especially Olympia Snowe.

what is up with her, don't they know TORTURE when they see it.

[Ganja Ninja]

34. Not a single "Nay" from the Republican side.

God how I envy the unity of the right. I sure wish we had a party that was 100% unified on the left.

[bdamomma]

35. both of my Senators Reed and Whitehouse voted NO

two great Senators thank you.

[Tesha]
