4 Democrats Vote Yes For Alito In Final Vote
4 Democrats who will not remain nameless have given their approval to Judge Samuel Alito’s confirmation. In a somewhat of a surprise DINO Lieberman, voted yes, so did many of the Senators who went against the filibuster. Now I know that Alito’s nomination was in the bag anyway, but the 4 that voted yes, do they really think that by doing so they will curry some sort of favor with Republicans which may help them in the future? In the old days that may have been a valid excuse, but now Republicans stick together (all but 1, more on that in a moment.) and almost never go against their own.
As promised, Lincoln Chaffee of Rhode Island, was the lone Republican to vote yes. Maybe Lincoln should switch parties and run for re-election this year as a Democrat. It would probably give him a better chance to win. (That is of course unless Diebold has now penetrated Rhode Island, they way they have in Florida, Ohio, and other places.)
OK here they are.
Robert Byrd (WV)
Kent Conrad (ND)
Nelson (Neb)
Johnson (SD)
These guys are from red states and maybe they think they will lose re-election to a Republican by voting yes, and that may well be true. It’s a shame that states with only 3 electoral votes, out of 540 get 2 votes each in The Senate. Actually this never would have happened if Bush hadn’t stolen a second election in a row. So, as always it all comes down to electronic, touchscreen voting, that is being hacked by Diebold. Until Democrats decide to acknowledge this, and do something about it. Nothing else matters.
