I told joe "blow" Lieberman that he is DEAD to me as well as the members of DU. (hope you don't mind my speaking for you all) I told him I would fight for and Support any other Dem or Ind. that ran against him in CT. !!!! BASTARDS! ALL OF THEM ARE TRAITORS TO US !!:grr: :nuke:

and as usual - she votes against her constituents wishes

She voted for:

* the Iraq War, costing thousands of lives & billions of your tax dollars
* the PATRIOT Act, infringing on your rights
* NAFTA, causing millions of lost jobs
* CAFTA, likely will have the same impact or worse as NAFTA
* the confirmation of Condoleeza Rice, who lied to lead the nation into illegal war
* the confirmation of John Negroponte, who looked the other way from human rights violations in
Honduras
* moving class-action lawsuits from state into federal courts, making restitution for corporate
wrongdoing less likely for working families
* the BUSH ENERGY BILL that gives $1.5 Billion in subsidies to the oil and gas industry, including
Halliburton, but includes very little for renewable energy

I could have predicited every one of these turncoats except for Akaka....his voting history is demonstrably anti-Bush, except for his vote for Negroponte, his refusal to stand up for Ohio voters, and his support of the Cheney Energy Bill. (yes, voting for all of those things STILL makes you the forth most progressive senator on my scale, as sad as that is).
