Fiengold's Censure

I said it once and I will say it again I love Fiengold and now he is my favorite male Senator. Boxer is my favorite female senator. I am sick of the cowardice in my party. Support Fiengold already democrats. I really hope the 2007 democrats are stronger than 2006.

how corpatist can you get

http://opensecrets.org/bush/cabinet.asp#1

This is proof that the bush adminstration is nothing but corpatists. Another word for corpatist is fascist

On Ed Case vs Daniel Akaka

I have looked at congresman's Ed case and Daniel Akaka's voting record and I don't know who I would choose.

Ed likes the Bankruptcy bill, Tort reform, and the patriot act
Dan won't fillibuster a fascist judge like Alito but he voted against the patriot act in the latest voted that the senate just had. As much as I vant to hold this senator accountable for his Alito filibuster vote He may actually be better for Hawaii since Ed's voting record is worse with the patriot act. At least Daniel said no once recently. I hope he sticks with it.

fighting dems

I love the fact that there are so many of the new democrats are veterans
http://www.bandofbrothers2006.org

http://www.fighting-dems.com/

These are democrats with backbone. We may have lost Paul Hackett because of the spinless DLC. We may have lost David Murff and Duanne Shaw because of the lack of primary voting. But you can't stop all of them. I have counted over 60 veterans. The owner of the fight dem website says there are over 70. You can't stop all of them from winning. I can't wait to see these dems in action after some of them win in congress.

About patriot act suporting democrats

These democrats are as weak as paper. I am so angry at all of them for not supporting Fiengold. Especially the ones that I hold at very high standards. These democrats would be ones that have shown much backbone. Boxer (CA), Kennedy, Kerry (both are MA), Ried (NV) (because he is the leader of the dems), Durbin (IL) (he is the vice leader), Milkuski, Sarbanes (Both from MD), and Dayton (MN). The rest I could care less about. Even Chuck Schumer since he helped throw Paul Hackett out of the Ohio senate race. Sarbanes and Dayton are retiring this year so I hope their replacements have much more BACKBONE!! My two picks for their replacements are Kwesi Mfume for Sarbanes and Ford Bell for (MN). But, because it seems like the DLC (Democratic Leadership Committee) is controling the primaries. I call them the Dumacratic Losership Comittee. I believe this because it was them I believe that helped make the decision to throw out both Hackett in Ohio, Patty Wetterling in MN, and making the senate nominee for NJ Robert Mendez. I look at the Democratic senate camkpaign website and Rosiland Kurita is not even mentioned in Tennesse and I know she didn't drop put yet. But Harldo Ford is mentioned. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING!!! I really hope that the next session of the senate has stronger members.

got to love Sen Russ Fiengold (WI)

This guy did vote for John Ashcroft to be the attorney general in 2000 and he voted for John Roberts to be the new chief justice of the supreme court. But I love the fact that he votes always votes against the patriot act in the latest patriot act votes he did get some support from a few of the democratic centerists and the independent senator Jim Jeffords of VT. Fiengold maybe running for president in 08. He has my vote or maybe he might be a better vice president since I like govenor candiates better which is why I want to support for Gov of VA Mark Warner. But I am thinking about changing my mind and going for Fiengold it just that senators are not as good presidential candiates as govenors. Carter, Reagon, Clinton, and this fascist president Bush Jr were all govenors. We haven't had a senator become president since JFK. Also it seems like only a southern democrat can win the president race with the republican rascist southern strategy and all.

Senate vote 24 A bill to clarify that individuals who receive FISA orders can challenge nondisclosure requirements, that individuals who receive national security letters are not required to disclose the name of their attorney, that libraries are not wire or electronic communication service providers unless they provide specific services, and for other purposes.
