1. What a DINO!

Probably has a lot to do with her district.

[Freddie Stubbs]

4. Her district is overwealmingly Democratic

[madmax]

2. This is only a 90 day extension correct? nt

[hobbit709]

6. Why should the Enabling Act of 2001 be extended for even ONE day?

[madmax]

7. It shouldn't I agree with you.

I'd be interested in her explanation. It's still in play and maybe she has a reason. :hi:

[Freddie Stubbs]

3. So, you are saying that she supported President Obama on this?

[Wilms]

8. Not just Obama...

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. +1

[Freddie Stubbs]

11. How in the world would they use these powers now that they are out of office?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

13. They don't need to. Obama has picked up their ball and is running with it.

[Wilms]

18. OK. Let's start from the beginning... n/t

9. Not surprised really. Most Democrats voted for it.

I wonder what the Founding Fathers would think of their throwing away the Constitutional rights of the American people based on fear and lies?

Well, we don't have to wonder, we already know. I guess this has become a country that doesn't deserve freedom or security.

Thanks Democrats, for standing up for our rights ~ :sarcasm:

Guess it's up to us now. I joined Russ Feingold's website and hope a movement grows outside of DC, because we sure cannot depend on elected officials to do what is right.

12. Actually it was voted *against* 68-117 among Dems. DWS is just a DLC/NewDem corporate type.

[quinnox]

[Joey Liberal]

15. I used to respect her. nt

[movonne]

16. I just saw here the other day that a few DUers here was wanting

her to run for president...

[FLAprogressive]

19. She's a hero here because she goes on TV a lot, no one knows what she really stands for which is the

DLC corporate line

[fascisthunter]

20. another fraud

or career politician sucking up to power

[Pisces]

21. Time for DU to crucify this woman who has worked tirelessly as a public servant.

[upi402]

23. She's DNC Vice Chair

Hasn't she turned her back on those that have brought her? She has changed a lot. I used to admire her.

[FLAprogressive]

24. She goes on TV a lot. Big deal. I'm sick of DU's love affair with her, when I've seen her for what

she is the whole time.

[Pisces]

26. Of course you have. Typical DU response to someone whose life has been dedicated to democratic

causes as well as womens issues. It is just pure bullshit.

[RandomThoughts]

22. I still like her attitude.

Even if I disagree with concepts like that.

If she voted for that, or other items that are not for the population, I would disagree with those concepts of supporting those concepts.

But I like her since when she discusses things she uses thought and feeling.

Nobody is perfect.

[Raine]

28. I like her attitude too, I disagree with her but

I like how she won't take crap. I like that she doesn't allow the repukes to filibuster her when she has something to say, she out talks them. I wish we had some like her that would promote liberal issues.
