* LIVE - US SENATE * Poison Pill Offered by Sen. Schumer (D-NY)- VOTE in 15 MINS (12:15 EST)

U.S. SENATE ^ | 08 March 2005 | David Osborne

[KC_Conspirator]

I agree. I think this a very bad bill and the GOP will pay for it if they keep pressing this.

[cicero's_son]

I personally know several people who are VERY angry about this bill. They are all solid Republicans.

Anyone with half a brain can see this for what it is--a brazen, $40 billion giveaway to the Republicans' biggest campaign contributors.

Disgusting.

[KC_Conspirator]

Thats the same thing I am thinking. This is payback to big campaign contributors, just like the bad immigration policy the Bush administration is pushing.

[epow]

Snowe and Collins both voted for it. Kind of disappointed in Collins.

I've been a lot more than "kind of" disappointed in both of those RINO cows for years.

What the Sam Hill is wrong with ME anyway? It used to be a conservative state, and now it keeps re-electing those two bozo women who almost invariably allow the Senate Dems to snatch a victory away from the Repubs on close votes.

[cicero's_son]

This is the kind of thing that really turns voters off.

It's this kind of corrupt, money-ladling b*llshit that led voters to kick the Democrats out of power.

Now, the Republicans are starting down the same path. There will be a price to pay.

my senator...lol?...unfortunately is Chuckie Cheese

Byrd voting against it. I am surprised. Maybe he is doing his pennance.

WV is liberal on economic issues, conservative on social issues. Geriatric Klansman Byrd has played WV voters like a $10 fiddle for so many many years he can still do it even in his post-senile period.

[Ronaldus Magnus]

I have Spector's walk to the podium and his pro-abortion aye vote on tape, but it looks like the coward changed his vote in the record to avoid blame once it had lost!!!

Vote Summary

I thought Specter was a "no show."

Is this the correct link?

Looks like the link you provided is for another bill:

If you or anyone can find the correct link, please provide.

Thanx

[Sun]

Y'all can feel sorry for me, too, as I'm from NYS.

If things aren't bad enough, Eliot Spitzer is a favorite, in this point in time, to become NYS governor.

If Spitzer gave $1,000 to California's ESC/Cloning bill, what is he going to do to NYS.

Spitzer is pro-gay marriage, and is anti-business. He goes after corruption, whether real or perceived in businesses, but ignores corruption in the PUBLIC sector, so they say..............

[Ronaldus Magnus]

My mistake, the link I posted in #51 is in error. I believe that the correct link to the vote is:

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=1&vote=00028

[Sun]

Thanx, very much.

What does grouped by vote position mean?

If guess I'm politically unsophisticated.

Thanx

[Sun]

Looks like it means by home state.

[b4its2late]

Didn't clinton start out the same way in AK?

[deport]

Group by vote position.....

Yea

Nay

[Sun]

"Didn't clinton start out the same way in AK?"

Do you mean as senator? I don't know.

One thing that makes me nervous is that Bill Clinton won because of a third party, and I'd hate to see another Clinton win because of a third party.

The Republicans better concentrate on energizing their base, or there just might be a strong third party that takes votes away from the Republican candidate.
