Feingold...where are you???

I still like Feingold and I'm glad he beat the puke running against him, but I was very disappointed with his vote today. I thought he would say something this time, but all we got was a nay vote.

And what about Kohl?? Did he even vote? Does anybody know???

1. i e-mailed Russ twice

on this issue,his replies were less than enthusiastic.He said the GAO was investigating.I guess if Kerry wasn't going to stand up no one else would.

4. Attacking Alberto today

I heard him on the NPR stream of the nomination hearing. He took a few attack jabs at Alberto's torture record.

10. COWARDS

I really feel that Feingold in particular, let us down. HE owed it to us to at LEAST get up and speak, if nothing else. I can't believe 99.9% of the Senate did not fulfill their duty as public servants yesterday. It is really sickening...

11. Agreed!

I'll be writing a scathing letter to Feingold and Baldwin concerning where "democracy with integrity" falls on their list of priorities. I was disappointed Feingold didn't sign on with Boxer; seeing he voted Nay on the objection frustrates me a great deal, and I'd like to know his rationale.

12. Huh?

Does this mean she was one of the reps signing with Tubb-Jones? I saw a list and thought I didn't see her on it, and so sent her a note criticizing her for not signing....
