Listening to the voices of thier constituents corporate lobbyists, the Senate voted 31-67 to give retroactive immunity to telecoms corporations spying on American citizens. TPM Muckraker notes:
Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) took to the floor last night to give a speech asking, "This is our defining question, the question that confronts every generation: The rule of law, or the rule of men?" The resounding answer: the rule of men.Here's the list of
Sens. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), Evan Bayh (D-IA), Daniel Inouye (D-HI), Tim Johnson (D-SD), Herb Kohl (D-WI), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Mark Pryor (D-AR), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ken Salazar (D-CO), Tom Carper (D-DE), Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), Jim Webb (D-VA), Ben Nelson (D-NE), Bill Nelson (D-FL), Kent Conrad (D-ND), and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI).Madrassa grad b. HUSSEIN Obama took time out from campaigning to deliver on his promise to vote for stripping the telecom corps. of their immunity.
McCain voted with the Republicunts, because he's a straight talking maverick who bucks the party line.
Clinton had other priorities.

Thanks Kohl, ya lousy piece of fuck....
I agree 'weasel'! As a Wisconsinite, it's frustrating to have one of the most progressive Dem senators (Feingold), but then to see our other Dem senator Kohl frequently vote 'Repuke-lite' on many issues. Too often Kohl just rides along on his philanthropic/sports reputation (owner of Milwaukee Bucks NBA team, for you non-residents)and the money (he's one of the wealthiest senators in the US Congress) he inherited from the Wisconsin supermarket chain (now defunct) and (I presume) the department store chain. He could just as easily be a moderate 'Rockefeller Republican' -- if such a catagory existed anymore!
That piece of dog shit Salazar fucked many again as he's done in the past. He had tremendous pressure put on him from CO to do the right thing but he is nothing else but a fucking Bush whore. It would not surprise me to see him do what the Injun before him did. Get elected as a Dem and change over to a repug. That whore was Ben Nightmule Cambell. No matter what both are one in the same. When will someone fight for me??
Sonsofbitches all of them!
Same problem here in Michigan....Stabenow.
The rule of law, or the rule of men?"
How about The Rule of Money.
Fuck the whole pack of gutless-wonder corporate cowards. Tell me why the fuck so many gave money and time to elect Salazar and Webb only to have them vote like whore Rethugs.
Ahhh, but Obama will bring more 'bipartisanship' and new hope for change. Then the GOP will magically become compliant and we'll stop seeing these pathetic corporatist maneuvers because Republicans and corporations will 'have a seat at the table.'
Right?
Uh, right?
Well he DID at least show up to vote. and everybody knows about his secret agenda to make America an Islamic nation, so I don't get it.
However, either candidate is fine by me.
