Sorry... but I hate blaming the whole senate for this.

And okay, it was the Repukes and Lieberman.

Happy freepbots?

1. They voted against it because it "sounds foreign".
Not really, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the excuse given by wingnuts.

2. The death of conservatism
and the apotheosis of corporatist theocracy.

Goodbye, Greedy Old Pervs.

You have made yourself irrelevant for a generation at least.
Too bad corporations can't vote.

4. I wish.
I suspect most republican voters will just rationalize this away, as they have done for so long on so many other critical issues.

3. The libertarians sure aren't gonna like that
What is the meaning of a "free republic" anyhow.
Do they even realize their own hypocrisy?
