1. Who the hell are the fools voting for Kerry?

How many statements does he need to put out before people believe he's for the public option?

[DrToast]

3. Seriously, nice way to waste money. n/t

[pocoloco]

5. ...or Feinstein?

[truedelphi]

14. Yes her name needs to be on every single list of every single important

Issue.

She is always on the side of Big Money and profit for herself and her miserable dickwad of a husband.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

2. Yeah....

Baucus, Bayh and Feinstein were my choices.

[scubadude]

4. Looks about right to me. I'll check out Kerry, nt

6. With just over 3,000 votes

percentages are staying pretty much the same. By the way, this is the same group that ran the "A Dollar A Day to Make Norm Coleman Go Away.":toast:

7. That would be

Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC).

9. PLEASE see this regarding a disinfo campaign against Kerry:

He is pro public option....

10. So are you saying this claim is incorrect?

"While Senator John Kerry (D-MA) has said in public that he supports a public option, the Huffington Post reports that "In a closed-door meeting of Senate Finance Committee Democratic members and their staff Wednesday evening, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) suggested that if the committee bill didn't have enough votes for a public option it include a ten-year delay between passage of health care reform and the implementation of a public option"

If he actually said that, he should be called to account for such an outrageous position.

[defendandprotect]

11. We should be pressuring Obama to remove Baucus from the health care discussions . . .

Anyone loaded down with campaign BRIBES from the insurance/health care industry should

recuse themselves!

13. We need a national referendum on this issue.

After attempting to watch Moyers last night, and getting nauseous at the reality of what is going on, I think the only ways and means we have are the floowing -
1) take to the streets
or
2) a national referendum

(The above is not meant as a criticism of Moyers, just that the reality has caused so much suffering for me, my spouse and others everywhere and this reality is being perpetuated by the vast majority of our Big Money Party, Corporate Owned, "elected" officials.)

12. Baucus, Bayh an Feinstein.

Bayh is up for re-election in 2010, and is a leader of the "Blue Dog" traitors.

[Joanne98]

15. I had the vote for Mary Landrieu. I can't stand her.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

16. Oh, good

This website is now up at Crooks & Liars, and the numbers are climbing. One week left to vote. Baucus still waaaay out in front.
