I didn’t say that I wouldn’t vote for him. His vote while only symbolic means something. Criticism will improve him if he listens otherwise he’s just another politician wanting to advance his career.

I would say the lack of him voting could also be considered symbolic and means something.

I’m certain he is just as disgusted as many of us that she was confirmed.

Your free to criticize him if you want. I don’t see any problem here with him. I see a problem with those who voted for cloture and to confirm.

Those guys need to be tossed.

I do not see Ted as a politician looking to advance his career. I just see him as an honest man, and that’s why I want to vote for him.

I am sure that I don’t agree with him on every single thing, you know. Sometimes I can be kind of libertarian or maybe even liberal (classic liberal though, not progressive) on different things, so I am sure I could find some areas of disagreement.

But he strikes me as a honest man, and that is so rare to me. It’s like a ray of sunlight in the darkness really. That’s why I support him.

But if I came off harshly to you, I apologize. It just doesn’t bug me that he didn’t vote to confirm. The cloture vote was the key vote, and he was there.

lolol, you think he is reading your post and will listen to you? He is a very busy man right now. Raising money more important than a vote that means nothing.

No, Pal. THe absence means nothing. Would you or anyone else in America who opposed the Communist Lynch have felt better if the vote had been 56-44. Actually, with 20 (!) cretins voting for cloture, the REAL vote was 66-34! Two thirds of the Senate are ENEMIES of America. Bob
