UPDATE: And the rest.

UPDATE THE SECOND: Congressmen Patrick Murphy and Joe Sestak voted ‘yea’. Same with Congressmen Clyburn and Murtha. Infuriating. Don’t these capitulators read the polls?

    Never have two words been so true. I am also disappointed with Obama on this one. He should be out there talking a lead pipe to this shit. However, he is set to speak about 4:30pm I believe. He better come strong and fast. He could bring a posse with him (Clinton, , Biden,Feingold, and Dodd). So baring anything great leadership moves, this is a pathetic day for the country and the Dems indeed!Also, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid’s pics should be up there.

    Thanks for posting the roll call, Bob. While I’m not happy that the bill passed, I am pleased that CT’s Democratic delegtion (4 of 5 Reps) all voted nay.WTF was the leadership thinking??

    What was the leadership thinking? Most likely that they need more power and damn the Constitution and the American people. Thanks a lot you losers! Obama released a statement today and it was not amazing or showing of leadership at ALL. So here is what needs to happen. KILL it in the Senate, not just barely, but crush it. Obama and his team of senators needs to go on TV and say they will crush it. No pandering, no nice guy and gal BS. Just straight up hardball. If you want the Dems to no longer be considered weak on issues. Show the American people what a backbone looks like…for Christ sake FIGHT! You are up against the most unpopular president and opposition party ever, just keep FIGHTING…Yeah Hannity, Limbaugh, and Savage will slam you. Who cares, the people who are paying attention the ones who matter, the ones who voted for you will stand with you…just simply stand up and say that you will FIGHT. I guarantee you that people will stand up behind you. Dems, the posse is ready, just tell them which way to go. Lastly, where is Harry Reid’s pic! This day is going to give me a heart attack.P.S. – FIGHT

    KidD, there’s still hope.http://dodd.senate.gov/index.php?q=node/4466Statement of Senator Dodd on FISA CompromiseJune 19, 2008WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) today made the following statement in response to the compromise reached on the legislation that would reform the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA):“I cannot support the so-called ‘compromise’ legislation announced today. This bill would not hold the telecommunications companies that participated in the President’s warrantless wiretapping program accountable for their actions. Instead, it would simply offer retroactive immunity by another name.“As I have said time and time again, the President should not be above the rule of law, nor should the telecommunications companies who supported his quest to spy on American citizens. I remain strongly opposed to this deeply flawed bill, and I urge my colleagues in Congress to join me in supporting American’s civil liberties by rejecting this measure.”Another filibuster would be nice.

    You’re absolutely right, KidD. Anyone who listens to those punk-asses would never vote Democratic in a million years anyway.
