So Markos has posted another one of his misleading diaries about Joe Biden. First of all, Biden is not the credit card company's favorite senator. He's not even the the credit card company's favorite democratIC senator. As far as I can tell, in terms if donations, Paul Sarbanes (140k donations since 1991) is their favorite dem senator. And the repugs who top out the list are McCain and Shelby (235k and 450k respectively).
So now that that's been corrected.... below the fold is an interesting find....
apparently there was a bankruptcy reform bill in 2001, and there's a pretty disheartening list of dems who voted for that. I just know how much people here love a long list of Sell-Outs so here it is:

and that list actually doesn't include Sarbanes (?????) but does include Max Cleland. Max Cleland: VICHY DEM. SELL OUT!!!!
Again, like my refutation of the last misleading diary about Joe Biden, this is not meant to be a Pro-Biden diary. he voted for the bill in 2001 too, you know.
This is just meant to add some context to the discussion. If we're prepared to dump dems based on these kinds of votes, maybe we should be more prepared to dump more dems.
