I have no problem with the union. It is the right for the people to organize for better wages. I am for a “free” union not government sponsored or taking wages without consent. The problem is the republicans have not fought the extreme corruption of corporations and instead codify them. I don’t think there should be no any bailout period.

No surprise, my wonderful Senators, Big Lib Brown and Weeping George Voinovich, both voted for it. Ugh.

Sadly I think the big 3 will get their money somehow from the government. And in the end, we will all still pay for it as taxpayers.

Senate votes down $14 billion in UAW welfare…

UAW members are some of the most highly paid workers in America, earning $28/hour, but their cost to auto manufacturers is more like $73/hour after wages, benefits, and retirement are factored in. The government should not be propping up failure and …..

SENATOR DURANGODARLIN, we have voted a dead guy to be our senator, and another guy who’s sole qualification to be our governor was that he had enough free time to walk across our state. bond is done, stick a fork in him.

I hate to have to admit it, but McCain’s actions at that time is probably the only thing that’s going to keep the Senate from running roughshod over Republicans the next four years.

I’m sure McCain hates to admit it, too.

I voted against Cornyn- Texas this past election. I wonder if he his getting the message that riding George W Bush’s coat tails? has a shelf life, he didn’t vote. I see Hutchinson is still carrying George W Bush’s water, can’t wait till she is up for re election to VOTE for ANYONE BUT HUTCHINSON…who knows maybe the Lizard People, they are building a constituency

When we were having difficulty getting conservative judges approved by the Senate a short time back, many of us were proponents of the so-called nuclear option. Much to chagrin of many of us, we felt that McCain and his “Gang of 12″ (or however many it was) sold conservatives down the river by preserving the filibuster. In hind-sight, we wouldn’t be celebrating this victory had the nuclear option been utilized at that time. I hate to have to admit it, but McCain’s actions at that time is probably the only thing that’s going to keep the Senate from running roughshod over Republicans the next four years.

Alexander (R-TN) is recovering from surgery. His office reports that he would have voted no.

The 10 pro-bailout Republicans are perfect examples as to what’s wrong with the Republican Party. They are not conservatives. How many of those 10 are not returning, those returning Senators should be run out of town…well, remembered next time their up for re-election anyway.

As far as the Orygun senators go, their mine(grrrr), Smith has probably pulled up stakes and come back home to lick his wounds, he is an aisle reacher of the worst kind. Wyden, who knows, probably lost in 1 of his dreams of harvesting lumber without logging the forests, his an idiot.

Eight votes stopped it, look at the 12 no votes, if they’d have voted it would have passed, glad some them were getting ready for another trip at our expense. I only see a possible 3 no votes of the 12.
