1. He voted against the bill n/t

[autorank]

5. Thanks to bluebear, I amend my remarks. Thanks for nothing.

Lieberman, you voted for cloture. Very clever, enough for me anyway abut not for BlueBear!

On edit: A mistaken thank you to the tricky Lieberman erased thanks to a heads up from BlueBear!

[Bluebear]

11. Remember his cloture vote before you swallow the words

I don't want anything coming up on you :hi:

[autorank]

14. Thank you. I erased all evidence of my impulsive turnabout!

Bluebear :yourock: owe you one dude!

[Bluebear]

17. Cheers autorank!

:toast:

21. I don't know. He voted for almost all the Dem amendments

and against the bill itself. How does cloture balance against those votes.

Who voted against cloture?

[autorank]

23. Well, against cloture=no filibuster. Kills a chance to stop the bill ...

...knowing that he can vote against it and still get credit with the $$$'s boys; why, because they know cloture was the vote and his no vote was just for, a hmm, "domestic consumption" in CT. It's an old Washington trick. People like Bluebear, who research before they pop off (unlike me), catch these things and keep optimists like me under control.

24. For the record, here's the rollcall for cloture

8. Not one Repbublican voted against the bill.

I don't like that Biden etc. voted for the bill, but the Repbulican Party is worse.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. I'm hoping it comes back to haunt them.

Their constituents will also be hurt by this. I don't think it's going to be the cakewalk they are expecting. The same applies to the Dem's who voted yes.

[pie]

15. God Damn you Kohl!

Every D who voted for this needs to go.

[DireStrike]

20. Clinton abstained? I almost expected her to vote yes, the way she's been

lately.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

22. She was at the hospital with Bill. n/t

[DireStrike]

25. Ohhh yeah, that makes sense. -nt-

[saracat]

3. He voted No. Surprise, But he also voted against all the amendments

which took the usefulness out of his vote. He knew it would then easily pass the repuke majority!

[Jacobin]

6. It was a cheap, free, easy "no" vote

One of those wink and nods (gee guys, everyone knows I'm really a republican....ya need to let me vote 'no' on this one because you have the votes lined up, wink wink wink)

[saracat]

7. Yup. No props here!

[whistle]

9. I'm confused, another thread on DU claims that Lieberman voted

...for all of the amendments. They also say he voted for Cloture, whatever that was.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

13. Cloture means it's forced to go to vote.

No more negotiations (amendments).

[whistle]

26. Well, that was used to break further negotiations on an unfair...

...bill then, so the bill essentially was forced through for a premature vote because the minority was not allowed to be fully heard. Crap!

[Idioteque]

10. Lieberman voted for Cloture

Which is much worse than those that voted for the bill. The bill would have passed with our without the Democrats. The 13 democrats that voted to let the bill get an up or down boat are the ones that are really to blame. That includes Lieberman.

He makes the credit card companies happy by voting for cloture while thinking his no on passage will please the base. We aren't stupid Joementum. We will remember the cloture vote!!

[pie]

16. lieberman sucks!

[trudyco]

18. So which Dem voted against the amendments? -nt

[AlCzervik]

19. there were dozens of ammendments

and many voted for and against. check cspan.
