Kudos where due on the Shamnesty Bill
Have you looked at the votes on the Shamnesty Bill? Did you notice one name - one name on the Democratic side of the aisle - which was prominently voting "Nay"?
Some of my friends are well acquainted with Sen. Robert Byrd, and since I really like and respect these people (although we do get into political disputes, LOL) I wanted to make sure I gave the Senator due thanks for voting against cloture on S 1639.
Secondly, thanks to Riley at Virginia Virtucon, I must also give congratulations to CNN and Lou Dobbs for this report on the glaring faults in this bill:
It's good to know that I can find common ground even with people/corporations with whom I disagree... although I might have to look pretty hard!
