Maybe comical ads aimed at embarrassing people to change votes aren't the best tactics

[ProSense]

Time to find better Democrats to run against the Republicans and condemned Democrats!

Republicans up for re-election in 2008:

Alexander, Lamar (R-TN)
Allard, Wayne (R-CO) -- retirting
Chambliss, Saxby (R-GA)
Cochran, Thad (R-MS)
Coleman, Norm (R-MN)
Collins, Susan M. (R-ME)
Cornyn, John (R-TX)
Craig, Larry E. (R-ID)
Dole, Elizabeth (R-NC)
Domenici, Pete V. (R-NM)
Enzi, Michael B. (R-WY)
Graham, Lindsey (R-SC)
Hagel, Chuck (R-NE) -- retiring
Inhofe, James M. (R-OK)
McConnell, Mitch (R-KY)
Roberts, Pat (R-KS)
Sessions, Jeff (R-AL)
Smith, Gordon H. (R-OR)
Stevens, Ted (R-AK)
Sununu, John E. (R-NH)
Warner, John (R-VA) -- retiring

Democrats condemned for voting for the bill denouncing the MoveOn ad who are up for reelection in 2008 and 2010:

Baucus, Max (D-MT)
Bayh, Evan (D-IN)
Dorgan, Byron L. (D-ND)
Johnson, Tim (D-SD)
Landrieu, Mary L. (D-LA)
Leahy, Patrick J. (D-VT)
Lincoln, Blanche L. (D-AR)
Mikulski, Barbara A. (D-MD)
Pryor, Mark L. (D-AR)
Salazar, Ken (D-CO)


Plenty of time to target the 2012 condemned:

Cardin, Benjamin L. (D-MD)
Carper, Thomas R. (D-DE)
Casey, Robert P., Jr. (D-PA)
Conrad, Kent (D-ND)
Feinstein, Dianne (D-CA)
Klobuchar, Amy (D-MN)
McCaskill, Claire (D-MO)
Nelson, Bill (D-FL)
Nelson, E. Benjamin (D-NE)
Tester, Jon (D-MT)
Webb, Jim (D-VA)

This is not a game. Our democracy is on the line. Enough with the joke ads, time for action!

I'm good, my two Senator voted against the ad.

Still, if the ads to embarrass (that is grandstanding) will suffice, nevermind.

3. He didn't vote for it.

Really, it's one thing to have voted for this thing, it's a whole different thing to have not been there.

2. Seems to work great to me.

Not only did it generate a huge amount of publicity, it embarassed Petraeus, the WH, and a whole bunch of DINOs.

4. Kick! n/t

5. The Dems up for election that voted for this nonsense

appear to be from States that could go red or blue. Could be why they voted the way they did? Maybe didn't want to look like they were trashing the military?

Being from Okla. I can see how you could vote for someone that you didn't agree with 100% just to get rid of people like Inhofe!! Can you imagine that bushlike person remaining in the Senate? Saw him this a.m. on Senate floor and he used bush's exact words concerning the war, scary......

Yes I signed MoveOns' Petition. All the work they apparently have done for the Democratic party should deserve more respect than they were shown yesterday in the Senate. Hopefully this whole thing backfires on the repubs. How quickly people forget about freedom of speech.

6. Well, we're not doing anything else

you know, launching a campaign to support Feingold's legislation, demanding the details of anybody's health care plan, getting serious about CAFE or alternative energy.

May as well call each other names and then vote on whose names were the meanest.

You hate to say it can't get any worse because you know Murphy's Law - I don't even want to think what worse than this would look like.

7. VoteVets tried to get people to call

their senators about the Iraq bills. I wonder if anyone did?

8. Smith is feeling the wrath

It isn't going to do him any good, but I'm pretty sure we can count on him for quite a few votes for the next year. That and Maine, otherwise I don't think VoteVets got too much help. But apparently "betray us" is worth half a million dollars. :crazy:
