And I liked Jim too.  This is a disappointment.

his 'lawsuit' will go nowhere, and he knows it, whereas this bill in the Senate today will become the law of the land, and he knows that as well.

remedy for the K/L BS which said in essence that that sense of the senate was not an authorization to go to war. Yes HRC hid behind it, but that doesn't lesson the importance of it.

Now, for some odd reason I trust this guy. At first, I was disappointed last August like everyone else. But , he's been around awhile. I also am a realist in that no incumbent has been perfect. There is something that someone will find not to like about all of them. When the NIE came out against Bush's war plans, I realized Webb probably was in touch with the people who really have to deal with this and just maybe he knows more about this than we do.

I humbly suggest that with the the race between Obama and HRC still not decided and McCain and both of them close enough to swing on just about anything closer to the election, that people ask questions like , what else may have caused him to vote yes before tossing him out.

He may just be needed to close out this election. Because if you think the VP choice is not going to make a difference in this General, your  in La La land. Seen anyone make commitments of reducing the powers of the VP yet? Hey how about rolling back all those executive orders?

If you think the telecoms are not going to get immunity with Bush still in office and the Dems we have, your in La La land. Bush will veto. Dems will cave. Happens every time. Oh wait, Bush allowed for 1/2 a percent increase for the troops. Probably figured that $6.00-$12 a month wasn't worth getting worked up about.

The telecoms are getting immunity. They aren't even worried. This is Kabuki theatre. There will be something else that will come along to capture every one's attention and this one will be gone. One Veto, Two Vetos, Immunity. I'll be surprised and amazed if they get to two.

Maybe Jim realized this and decided this was just a waste of fricking time knowing his fellow Democrats.

As far as his staffer, that was inexcusable. I have registered a complaint

I'm not sure why people are wasting time with an issue that has already been decided. It's an election year so sure they are going to make it look like a bitter fight for the base. But they are not going to allow open season on telecoms who control the communications infrastructure of the US. Forget about it.

TRUE COLORS.

We did such a good job supporting the WRONG KIND OF DEMOCRAT.

Should of had Macaca Allen. At least you would know the snake.

he's got the Reid virus
