Who are the Democrats that voted for cloture?
Barack Obama was quoted earlier today lamenting the fact Democrats did not have enough votes for a filibuster and reflecting on what he believes needs to be done :
''There's one way to guarantee that the judges who are appointed to the Supreme Court are judges that reflect our values. And that's to win elections," Obama said.
Does this mean he is willing to work with the grassroots to rid the Democratic Party of these Republicrats?
- Akaka (Hawaii)
- Baucus (Montana)
- Bingaman (New Mexico)
- Byrd (West Virginia)
- Cantwell (Washington)
- Carper (Delaware)
- Conrad (North Dakota)
- Dorgan (North Dakota)
- Inouye (Hawaii)
- Johnson (South Dakota)
- Kohl (Wisconsin)
- Landrieu (Louisiana)
- Lieberman (Connecticut
- Lincoln (Arkansas)
- Nelson (Florida)
- Nelson (Nebraska)
- Pryor (Arkansas)
- Rockefeller (West Virginia)
- Salazar (Colorado)
- Harkin (Iowa) abstained from voting.
Since winning his seat Salazar has consistenly demonstrated he is anything but a Democrat in name. And this guy was supposed to be the best the net and traditional grassroots could get elected in Rocky Mountain state?
I can't believe Colorado Luis is still making excuses for this guy.
I updated this article for a NYC perspective at The Daily Gotham | Should we call them Republicrats?
