[helderheid]

[NGU]

[helderheid]

2. I got their backs.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

3. flip a coin to see who gets VP? lol n/t

[New Earth]

4. awesome! w00t!

yes for 2008, Kerry/Boxer! Sets up perfect scenario for the country to get ready for a woman President after Kerry's two terms :hi:

[electropop]

6. How about Boxer/Conyers?

See you in DC tomorrow Faye?

[New Earth]

9. how bout Conyers

Attorney General!!! He just has to stay in good health the next few years and it'll be all good!

[New Earth]

19. how bout no?

how bout the country needs to warm up to the idea of a woman VP before she is Pres?

[whometense]

5. I'll sure go along with that.

Kerry is my senator, and I just shot him an email thanking him. I am very proud.

[helderheid]

7. I couldn't be more proud

and we'd have a west coast/east coast team. Let's expose the election fraud and vote these two in!

edited because it's ELECTION fraud, not vote fraud. Thanks Faye!

[whometense]

17. Excellent.

I'm in.

[understandinglife]

29. hi...

Peace.


ONWARD BUSH OPPOSITION

[whometense]

36. Thanks -

[understandinglife]

38. Am urging the DU administrators to post it....

....maybe you and others could pm them and request they do so.

Thanks.

[ginnyinWI]

14. and let's not let DU forget how he voted today! n/t

[helderheid]

16. AMEN!

[bunny planet]

48. Me too.

[kcwayne]

8. Are Democratic Senators genetically spineless, or does it come with

being elected? It is getting very difficult to support these clowns if they won't stand up to obvious incompetence and deceitfulness.

[helderheid]

10. Biden was mind boggling

To compare this to a 2nd marriage - hello, when you remarry usually it's not to your ex!!!

[NationalEnquirer]

40. Biden lost his balls with his plagarism thing.

The man just hasn't been the same since.

[demo dutch]

43. Hi Helderheid .. Wanted to share this with you

saw on the Choosetheblue.com website

Veronica (the Netherlands) SBS Broadcasting, European Radio Stations.
Donations to democratic candidates - $2,200 (2%)
Donations to republican candidates $107,800 (98%)

Sorry but I am sooo shocked!!! That has got to change!
I notified all my relatives and friends in the Netherlands!

http://www.choosetheblue.com/main.php

[helderheid]

47. HOLY CRAP!

WOAH that is truly shocking!!!! Boycott Veronica!! Did it mention the other stations?

Thanks for posting that!

[demo dutch]

53. Did some research and Veronica is owned by SBS Broadcasting

http://www.sbsbroadcasting.com/
which is the Second largest European broadcasting footprint according to their website serve100 million population in 9 markets

Television
–Started operations in 1990 in Scandinavia
–Owns interests in 10 top tier TV stations in 7 countries

Radio
–Established in 1994
–Owns consolidated interests in 53 stations in 5 countries

Print
–Acquired Veronica magazine, the largest TV/Radio guide published in The station in The Netherlands is http://www.sbsbroadcasting.com/content.php?rubrik=U0JTNg==

Here's the kicker...it's Executive Chairman of the Board is Harry Evans Sloan, a US Citizen. He is also director of ZeniMax Media Inc.(computer games) and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. which distributed Fahrenheit 911 SBS is also tied to Disney (Remember Disney pulled out on distributing Moore's movie apparently a bunch of nonsense ...money or political driven decision?) He is also tied in Time Warner and Advent Warner (loaned him capital), so you can figure it out from there

I don't appreciate a European company giving contributions to repugs. Anyhow isn't it illegal for foreign companies to donate to American political campaigns??!! Seem to remember Gore or Clinton got in trouble over that.

[helderheid]

11. AAR is saying

They are holding their votes for lifetime nominees. What do you think?

[Pirate Smile]

12. Supreme Court nominees. That will be the real battle.

[helderheid]

13. that makes sense

cuz they sure gave condi a beating before voting her in. Still, so proud of Kerry and Boxer!!! They should have an honorable mention of www.thankyoupatriot.com

[greenmutha]

26. I think Chili's already on it.

Check out her last post from late last night on the "ThankYou Patriot.com is live" thread.

[Spazito]

30. I don't understand this, can't they vote no every time if they wish?

Why is it an either /or position? If they voted no on Condi, they have to vote yes on a judicial nominee? Watching the repubs, they voted no on a lot of things when Clinton was pres, what has changed?

[Amaryllis]

18. The key is what Biden said: I've got to work with her, and she is going

to be voted in...and if you vote against, it's a lot harder to work with them...they truly are between a rock and a hard place. Biden certainly made it clear he had serious reservations and it wasn't for lack of reservations that he was voting yes.

[anamandujano]

46. Ridiculous--she won't be working with Biden

The dems have been and will be totally ignored in the repuke dominated congress. After 9/ll, Biden was begging the repukes to "use all the talent here" to help them. It was nauseating. They did, however, borrow his patriot act work.

And, speaking to post #30, a long time ago I heard someone talking about how the Senators trade votes back and forth. For instance, if someone needed a "no" or "yes" to please their constituents, they were allowed and then they gave back a vote on something else. It worries me that Kerry was voting no to get some creds before he starts voting with the repukes on everything. When I say worry, of course I'm not really worried because I've lost all faith in Kerry. There's not much he could do anymore to upset me.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. Or on the take. Allowed to dissent in their words, and not in their

votes.....

Now we can look on towards who votes for that criminal Gonzales.

[Democrat Dragon]

52. No, it's because

They're too nice. Dems play nice, Repugs don't. Guess who gets screwed?

[demo dutch]

15. One more nail in the GOP coffin! You just know she'll

screw up!

[femme.democratique]

20. Barbara Boxer for President, John Kerry VP!

[propagandafreegal]

25. You see! Casting his token 'Nay' vote worked! I see..... nm

[femme.democratique]

51. Yah, I'm still pissed at him, but he would bring much to the VP position

IMO

[European Socialist]

21. Again, I am supposed to be grateful because somebody is doing their job.

Boxer and Kerry are voting against incompetence-that's what they all should be doing. Conyers was just doing his job in Ohio. Can we get an opposition party?

[JoMama49]

22. Hello? We are the opposition party!

[New Earth]

24. hey look you have a star

dont' forget to thank Amber :) (sepia steel)

[LeahD]

28. I agree

There should have been more nays, but I'm pleased that Kerry and Boxer didn't "go along to get along." My brain short cicruits when I hear Senators like Biden make such strong anti-administration statements, then turn around and vote yes. Multiple personality disorder? Or is it "inside the beltway neuroses?"

[angrydemocrat]

37. KERRY! KERRY! KERRY!

http://209.150.59.148:8080/dontphoto/sullivan/image/image2.jpg

[mollyd]

27. Well Kerry may have learned

That playing nice didn't help. We can only hope.

[garybeck]

31. another example of how the democratic party is crumbling

if they can't vote against a lying killer like her they don't deserve to be in office.

Rove is trying to divide us and I fear he will succede. I can't support these people anymore.

[angrydemocrat]

39. KERRY! KERRY! KERRY!

http://209.150.59.148:8080/dontphoto/young/image/image8.jpg

[dandrhesse]

32. I don't get it

From watching the hearings I would say that at least, Lugar, Chaffee, Biden, Obama, Feingold, Nelson, Boxer, Kerry and Dodd all did not seem to want Condi in the position. They gave compeling arguments why they should not vote for her. I don't understand how any Senator benefits by voting yes.

Can someone please explain. I know the above post says they have to work with her, but they didn't cooperate one bit last term and they will be worst this term, what makes any of those Senators think she will play nice?

another question. Her answers, let me rephrase that, her remarks were given under oath can they be used in a court of law as evidence at a later date?

[garybeck]

33. sure here's the explanation

hipocrisy

lack of a spine

all talk and no action

trying to have it both ways

a bunch of talkers with no guts



does that explain?

[dandrhesse]

34. yes and no

yes because I understand your viewpoint and line of reasoning and

no because if you are going to vote no what is the point in raking Condi over the coals, just to let her know you know?

I mean she knows everyone in the Congress knows.

The MSM are covering this at all, except to say she was "grilled" big deal.

It seems to me that if all the Dems voted no and the Republicans that obviously didn't want voted no also then it might encourage others in the Senate to stand up to the Bush Administration. They can only bulldoze the Congress if the Congress lets them.

Do you see possible motives other than the obvious?

Can these comments be used in a larger context to bring down the House of Bush and does it keep them on an even keel if they feel there are only a few dissenters?

[angrydemocrat]

41. KERRY! KERRY! KERRY! KERRY!

[FreepFryer]

42. Just say no to 'split/abandon the Democratic Party' threads.

:hi: :kick: :hi:

[ClintCooper2003]

35. That's encouraging, but I don't think Boxer would make the ticket...

[Vektor]

44. They really took her to task too...

Didn't hesitate to tell her what they thought. And she got all snooty with Boxer, who then told her "Look, you contradicted the 'president', you contradicted yourself!!"

Every time I hear one of *'s cabinet members talk, I am reminded again of how incapable he is of speaking for himself effectively, and how he always has to have one of his grunts out there to do it for him...

I would LOVE to have a smart president.
Really.

[Imagevision]

45. My gut feeling is the OIl picture in Iraq is too big to change anything

[EndElectoral]

49. Dodd, Biden, and Sarbannes should be ashamed after voting for her

[MellowOne]

50. KERRY/BOXER 2008

A great combination!
