As you say, “Their House seats are safe”, so they can vote in the best interest of our country, as opposed to counting up the phone calls or listening to the standard fear mongering from the W crew.

p>I think it refreshing that we had a few courageous souls in our delegation.  Granted it is hard to imagine these three agreeing since they are pretty well separated ideologically, but these are strange times that make for strange bedfellows.  I doubt they’ve had the time to think about Kennedy and/or their political ambition.

<

p>Liberal Rank in the House:
Tierney  18
Delahunt 53
Lynch   143

p>I say break out the tar and feathers for all those ‘Yea’ voting dopes that haven’t learned the lessons of the past eight years – Fear not what W says will happen, fear what he will do if you let him!
