Politics is not a pretty game .. things can get heated with disagreements

Disagreements and debates are fine

But the Dems got personal about it and they will find themselves very lonely with no one to side with them

Senator Stevens is not one of my favorites, but he is entitled to a bit of respect he is the Pro Tem after all.

It's sad, he's an old man and deserves a little leeway

Not leeway .. the Dems fighting their cause .. even though I disagree .. they have the right to do

They showed Stevens no respect .. and after all the years he has been in the Senate working with both sides to get things done .. he at least deserves the respect

I agree that he deserves respect and even when I disagree with him, I admire his passion.

Is there a leader among the Democrats who doesn't make it personal? Dean, Reid, Pelosi, Durbin, Biden and so on all resort to name calling and character assassination.

Not anymore

Zell Miller retired last year

I am even disappointed in Joe Liberman

I know he was against ANWR .. but he did nothing to stop these personal attacks

I may have heard wrong, but when she was initially reading off who voted AYE...I could have sworn I heard Cornyn's name...and I was really surprised...

We will see...
