Post results of the vote.
The author was severely chastised for this typo (Freudian slip).
There is nothing I would rather see than the socialists/marxists/progressives bolt from the dem party and hoof it on their own. It may help legitimitize the democratic party. Yes. Clear the ranks. Let the dems shake the scum from their feet and let the SEPtic party slide back to the privvy from whence it oozed.

Sigh, wait until you've been freeping for a while. I suppose du is a newbie thing.
Sucks to be us right now. It's true, the vote didn't go the way we wanted it to. But I think we have a lot to be proud of. I think it is fair to say that without the liberal blogosphere, there wouldn't have even been a fight. So that's something that you all did. You should be proud. At least now they know that we aren't going to sit back and do nothing while our country goes down the toilet.
I know that we're all pretty upset right now, and we're all dealing with this in different ways. Some of us want to find support amongst our DU friends. Some of you want to vent. We have asked the mods to back off a bit, to give you all room to blow off steam a little. But we don't have unlimited tolerance, so please.. Just don't act like a d**k.
And if you're in a really bad mood, and if you feel like disrupting or pissing people off -- please turn off your computer right now. We don't want you to do something that you might regret in the morning. There is no shame in logging off of DU.
Point taken.
BTW, I've been checking out your FReep page. Please thank your daughter on my behalf for her service in Iraq. Our brave men and women kick some serious butt over there!
Thanks! She just arrived home to the States this week, we're waiting for her leave.
Geee .. that's interesting .. I remember the "senate vote" on impeachment - and there was an electronic counter - or was the vote taken in the House - or did the station I was watching have the counter ..??
Well the JurassicPork blog at least tries to narrowly define it more:
"The 4 Amendment means nothing to Alito because he once agreed that a cop could kill an unarmed thief who was trying to run away."
Didn't convince me...and anyone who knows how I write on FR...can be sure that, if the liberals had anyone with brains on their side, I may have been convinced there was a problem (if Alito were pro-tobacco for instance).
Actually, Alito just may have ruled once in favor of tobacco companies...but the abject failure of the liberal blogosphere or the Democrats or the MSM to get that across to me...tells me to keep a wide berth from them as people and not vote for them.
Thanks - I'm sure this fellow is fine and dandy (and deserves speedy confirmation). It's just that we were wondering why the Senate is using his name in vain, that's all ; )
From DUer named 'stillrockin':
"I was blind with anger and first, now I am weeping quietly at my computer. I don't know what can be done. I went through the 60s/70s and never dreamed things would get even worse. My brain will just not accept that these dems are fucking sellouts. But that is what they are. I despise them to the depths of my soul."
LMFAO
He's nothing more than a RAT in poor disguise. Are there no real Pubbies in RI?
Figures...left over idiots from the hippie movement. Perhaps your brain would work better if you hadn't used LSD or PCP, no?
Weeping quietly at his computer..... And he probably is, too.
What's the point of crushing the enemy and seeing him driven before you, if you can't enjoy the lamentations of the women?
And I feel sad for all the children that never got a right to choose thanks to this legal infanticide.
Yea but Zell has left the game and he turned in his last days as a Senator we are stuck with this Chaffe sell out for awhile. Like I said better he just switch parties. What exactly is his hang up anyway... What issue is he conservative on?? He is Pro abortion (We need to start re-agruing this as pro-death vice pro choice), Pro Big government, Pro Tax and Spend.... I just don't get it..
