Wasn't even close. Fucking worthless. Goddamn.

on why they would vote for this man, I sure would like to hear about it... I know my man Feingold did not, I am sure of it, he made it clear he could not in good conscience...

and for the state to survive, it must grow, and to grow, it must acquire knowledge, and to acquire knowledge, it must have information, and for it to have information, you can longer have anywhere to hide?

Just throwing it out there.

or philisophical.... :hi:

:crazy: I'm laughing, but it's not funny, dammit! :grr:

CIA where he can do more damage and instigate even further programs spying on Americans citizens...

We are safer with him in the CIA where he can't do shit on US Soil.

But let's just see what happpens with the CIA, shall we...

repression, darkness, unenlightenment ........i grieve for the u.s.a today.

that voted for civil liberties and a civilian-run CIA. The rest are hardly Americans, much less Democrats today.

Harkin (IO) 88.9
Lautenberg (NJ) 83.3
Boxer (CA) 83.3
Kerry (MA) -DLC 77.8
Kennedy (MA) 77.8
Feingold (WI) 77.8
Durbin (IL) 77.8
Sarbanes (MD) 72.2
Reed (RI) 72.2

Levin (MI) 72.2
Akaka (haw) 72.2
Obama (IL) 69.4
Wyden (OR) 66.7
Leahy (VT) 66.7

I bet I'm right about at least 12 of the 15.

Bayh (D-IN)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Clinton (D-NY)
Dayton (D-MN)
Dodd (D-CT)
Dorgan (D-ND)
Durbin (D-IL)*

Kennedy (D-MA)*
Kerry (D-MA)*
Menendez (D-NJ)
Obama (D-IL)*
Specter (R-PA)
Wyden (D-OR)*

Dang....I only had 7 of them correct.

Where the hell is Boxer? Why would she sign on for such a blatantly anti-civil rights nomination?

Here's the list of the 7 that didn't vote. I don't know WHY they didn't vote but it's the same 7 that didn't vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation. If they bailed early to get a head start on the long weekend they can all go to hell as far as I'm concerned.

Boxer (D-CA)
Conrad (D-ND)
Dole (R-NC)
Inouye (D-HI)
Rockefeller (D-WV)
Salazar (D-CO)
Thune (R-SD)

Note: Jeffords is an Independent but I included him in the list just to show how he voted.

Why the hell the Dems couldn't have at least put up a fight is beyond me. Apparently they don't feel they even need to put on the bogus dog-and-pony show anymore. Opposition party my ass. I see little difference between the Repugs and the Dems at this point. Fuck 'em all.

Doesn't Cantwell have a tough primary battle coming up? Feinstein managed to avid a primary challenge.

I guess that shows there is some use to primary challenges.

Lieberman vote Yes. He is a hopeless case.

I wasn't familiar with her so I had to look it up but here's what wikipedia has to say:

And from looking through the Washington forum here, it looks like she's not too well-liked in her home state. I don't think the "nay" vote will help her all that much as it appears she's another Bushbot with a D after her name. One poster called her a Lieberman if that gives you any clue. (Oh man, what an insult!)

And yeah, the Lieberman "yes" vote was a real shocker. :sarcasm: Pack your bags Joe. Ned will be taking your spot.

And only won her last race by about 54 votes. I have been ragging her ass for 4 years.

Trying to keep her from turning totally DLC. Glad she voted against.

Sad day. :hurts:

ONLY ONE. Arlen Specter.

The Dems had damn well better learn a freakin' lesson about party discipline. Look at the Dems who voted to confirm! What the heck is THAT all about???

Thank you, to the Dems who voted Nay. We knew who you were before we even read the list: Feingold, Kennedy, Kerry, Cantwell, Dorgan, Durbin, Obama, et al. Thank you, few though you may be, for having a spine.

Bake

As I said in another post, if ALL the Dems, including those that didn't vote at all, had voted "nay," the tally would have been 54-46. The asshat Hayden would have still been confirmed but the Dems would have come out looking a LOT better. So why couldn't they be bothered to even pretend so show some opposition and vote against confirming the bastard? I ugess they figure their jobs are safe so they don't even have to pretend anymore. The Dems are nothing but GOP-lite and frankly I've had it with them. Fuck 'em all. I'm voting third-party from now on.

All hail Lord Hayden! Master of information and domestic spying!
