Note how Rockefeller voted to knife his own state's coal miners
My senators are Clinton and Schumer ... NY is doomed.
I’m shocked, shocked I say.
(Maybe he did notice an increase in phone calls from small businesses on this issue. I called!)
Katherine Harris would have voted for it too.
Did your senator say “no” to carbon hysteria?
Durbin and Obama. What do you think? LOL
Thankfully Obama is more interested in campaigning than doing what he gets paid for.
I was wondering about Cornyn, I think I will call his office and find out.
I went right to the “K’s” in the Commie section and was not surprised.
Thanks for the reminder and the contact info!
One of my (TX) senators, Kay Bailey Hutchison, voted NO. Good girl!
The other (John Cornyn, normally a reliable conservative voice and vote) did NOT vote.
I just called his office. Actually got to talk to a human being, for a change (I usually get voicemail).
I asked him why the Senator didn’t vote on the climate change bill. He said “because he was in Texas”.
I asked him WHY he was in Texas instead of in Washington doing the job we hired him to do, and reminded him that this issue is a very important one for Texans and for the nation. He said he didn’t have an answer for why the senator was in Texas vs. Washington.
I asked him how Senator Cornyn would have voted, had he been present. He said the Senator was opposed to the bill.
I told him I was disappointed in the non-vote and he promised to pass that along.

Maybe y’all should call too. Our Senators not voting on important issues is frustrating!
“Dole says she voted for it because she is worried about the effect global warming could have on national security. I am NOT kidding that’s her excuse.”
And to think there was a movement to launch her as the first female Republican presidential candidate...
Like that's gonna happen.
Probably so. Maybe even McCollum.
Senators not voting can only mean one thing - they are cowards to their convictions and plan to play their lack of voting to both sides of the issue in their home states. McCain and Obama are the worst of the bunch!
Your wrong about Katherine just cause she got thrown under the bus by the RHINOS does not mean she don’t know what she is doing she will be back

In Cornyn’s case, I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was in TX campaigning or fundraising. He’s up for re-election this year.
In FreeAtlanta’s list of (R) senators that didn’t vote or voted “Y”, Sen. Cornyn is the only one that I would argue shouldn’t be tarred with the same brush. He is ideologically conservative, he does his best to LEAD rather than follow, and he generally has the courage of his convictions — he’s reliably conservative, not squishy like Kay Bailey.
Nevertheless... in my view it is UNACCEPTABLE to miss votes (and debates!) as important as this one, unless he’s sick (REALLY sick) or there’s a death in the family. Other excuses are just that — excuses.
Warner is an embarrassment. I expect it from Webb.
I live in CA...NUFF SAID!!
Frankly, the whole carbon credit and cap and trade scam seems like nothing so much as a parallel monetary system; designed to be put into place and no doubt to be followed by a “fiat” lending and credit system controlled much like our current fiat system...by an elite group of carbon bankers.
