the repurcussions of this bill is going to be staggering.

interest.
Not one.

I haven't the heart to look up the rest.

They consistently make life harder for the common person and easier for the corporacrats.

We can still fight this if we can get people's attention.

Nelson (D-NE), Baucus (D-MT) and Carper and Biden (D-DE) seem to be crossing over and voting with the GOP on most of these though.

Way to go, Joe. If you didn't want to run for president in '08, you could have just said so.

They have no concience whatsoever.

Biden, Ben Nelson, Carper (I think), and a couple of others.

Biden just destroyed his image in my eyes.

I ame more disgusted with him daily.
