9/29/05 List of Senators Who Voted for Roberts
Thanks to My good friend Bob at Yellow Dog Blog for the list and the comments under it. The top part is from H.L.
Heres a list of The Democrat Senators who voted for John Roberts. They are all paid off whores who should be all swept out of office at the first opportunity. That includes you Russ Feingold, whom H.L. met recently. He said at the time he was wavering, but you could tell he had already taken the money, and has spent it. Feingold is the only Senator who voted against The Patriot Act, and the only Senator to try to pressure Bush on Iraq: Not good enough. Bush is so politically weak right now that no one would suffer the consequences of going against him, yet 22 paid whores who call themselves Demcorats did: Here they are, run them out of office!
Here’s the 22 Democrats who just minutes ago voted to confirm John Roberts Jr. to be the next Chief Justice on the United States Supreme Court:
- Max Baucus (D - MT)
- Jeff Bingaman (D - NM)
- Robert Byrd (D - WV)
- Thomas Carper (D - DE)
- Kent Conrad (D - ND)
- Christopher Dodd (D - CT)
- Byron Dorgan (D - ND)
- Russell Feingold (D - WI)
- Tim Johnson (D - SD)
- Herb Kohl (D - WI)
- Mary Landrieu (D - LA)
- Patrick Leahy (D - VT)
- Carl Levin (D - MI)
- Joseph Lieberman (D - CT)
- Blanche Lincoln (D - AR)
- Patty Murray (D - WA)
- Bill Nelson (D - FL)
- Ben Nelson (D - NE)
- Mark Pryor (D - AR)
- Jay Rockefeller (D - WV)
- Ken Salazar (D - CO)
- Ron Wyden (D - OR)
Eight of these people are what’s called “Class I” senators, meaning that they are up for reelection next year. Let’s remember that. They are: Bingaman, Byrd, Carper, Conrad, Kohl, Lieberman, Nelson (Bill), Nelson (Ben).
Many of those who voted for Roberts say they “take him at his word” and one has to wonder what the hell they’re talking about – he didn’t say anything. What it boils down to is that they just handed the worst president in history – and one who has no respect for them or their party – a major victory.
Special scorn goes to Mary Landrieu for once again stepping up to the plate as one of the biggest Democratic turncoats in the Senate, despite this administration having crapped all over her constituents in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Well, it's been 6 plus months since this post originated. Still feeling the same way since then? It still stands that Feingold is the lone vote against the Patriot Act and the Iraq war. He's since stopped renewal of the Patriot Act, pending changes that will not set our civil liberties aside. Feingold has ask for a definite withdraw of troops from Iraq. Senator Feingold has also ask for a censure of the President. Perhaps Mr. Feingold and others do not always vote the way we want them too. Yet instead of asking others vote them out. Perhaps we should be telling them what we think of their votes and what we expect of them over blogging among each other. Unity of a party will not begin by voting dems out. We must stand up for what we expect and feel is needed by our government officials. This is just the kind of blog the GOP loves to find. Senator Feingold may not always vote the way you or I would. But overall he is making a difference and fighting for our Constitutional rights.
I have since forgiven Russ for this, when he stopped renewal of the Patriot Act. I was upset with Russ, but he knew what he was doing. Russ is the only Democrat I want to see on the ticket in Nov. 2008. I will not vote for any of the other lame-o's I am even considering volunteering for Russ. Its going to be hard to beat all the money that Hilary will bring to the race, but she will not win. We need Russ
