Why didn't one of the Democratic Senators oppose the FISA bill to stop it in its tracks?

I never expect that the filthy anti-American republicans will do anything for the good of our citizens in general. Now, if it were possible for the thieving republicans to line their own pockets from any of these bills, they would have passed faster than their votes could have been counted.

This is good. What assholes and just in time for the election. Ah that's right no one will ever know about this because the MSM will totally ignore it. Mission Accomplished. We have one party rule. Nothing to see here, keep moving.
Yeah, she's gotten back on her heels about McCain misrepresenting Obama's trip and his time with the military.
I'll give the devil her due.
Way to speak the truth, Mrs. Greenspan. That took integrity, especially considering that your sympathies lie with the Repubs.
You can be a Repub and be objective too. Not so hard, is it?

The DSCC has the money, so I better see tons of commercials about this in the next few months.

Exactly, along with commercials about how the Repubs obstructed closing the enron loophole last week. And how they're obstructing renewal of the alternative energy tax credits. How they're obstructing the bill to help people with their winter heating bills. I don't get why the Dems aren't making hay with these subjects. My Repub father couldn't believe it when I told him his boy Voinivich had voted against every single one. I'll get him to vote Obama yet.

But, seriously Joe, you didn't really expect the Repubs to pass a bill against Child Exploitation, did you?
Can we have a Tom Allen moneybomb on the site tomorrow?

My bill was also rejected:

Interesting about the Ted Stevens (AK) vote. Especially since the Russians (that's Soviet Union to Grampa McSame) are busily mapping the north Pacific and Arctic zones in order to lay claim to them and any oil reserves. You'd think the filthy anti-American republicans would be all in support of that one.

I guess that just shows that blind kids, stroke victims, and victims of child pornography can't bribe Republicans like the Telcos can.

80% of the people in this country think that this country is headed in the wrong direction from many years of republican policies, obviously. Yet the republicans can't recognize that. Still business as usual. I was reading a wingnut site the other night and they were going on and on about how difficult it would be for republicans to get elected this years because of the mood of the people was against republicans and their policies but they were offering ideas how they can change that and get elected.
OK, does anyone see the disconnect there?
If you want to get over the public's rejection, stop putting forth the policies that the public rejects.

Was Grampa McSame there to vote? Or was he busy surging? And that stroke treatment bill could have gone a long way toward helping Cougar McTart recover her facial expressions.

Would anyone with any sense vote for a guy who's had melanoma 4 times and still doesn't know to stay out of the sun? That really isn't too bright (no pun intended).
And the Rethugs think it's your fault if you're blind, had a stroke, are a child, are mentally ill, yada yada yada...and they are in favor of torture, after all.

Dear Senator Collins:
I phone bank every Thrus. night. Your vote against what fair-minded Mainers want will be noted. Oh...and all of those folks I see at the post office... they'll know too. Gosh, this might be an interesting week.
Thanks Senator, you're making my job easy.

Ha! Two hours a week, I do my best.
When I call her office I remind them how Northern Mainiacs get their news: church suppers, the post office and sporting events. I've got it covered. I assure them that many people will know.
Collins needs N.Maine to counter Allen's advantage in the South. Besides, Tom Allen puts the better into more and better.

If you read the people who voted Vitter voted against his own pornography act. I guess he finally realized if it passed he couldn't sell any more photos of himself in a diaper sucking on a boo=boo.

I have not read any of these bills, but I think I have a pretty good pork detection system. I am sure Olympia Snowe would like to pay people in Maine to observe the ocean, and no doubt Christopher Reeve needs a bill named after him, but don't we have a deficit that needs to be paid down? I never thought I'd say this, but good job, Tom Coburn! Now if we can curb the GOP's penchant for sinking lots of money into silly wars, we may be on the right track.

Then why the fuck would ANYONE want to read your ill-informed screed? Go fluff Tom Coburn and quit wasting bandwidth.
