As a 61 year old Jefferson Democratic Veteran I am appalled at the vote on this profiteer Gates today, what a slap in the face of real Americans! It also shows those who thought there was a difference between the gop and democrats were wrong, both now can be said to lack honesty. That all of the democrats in the senate voted for a criminal, a un-indicted co-conspirator in the Iran/Contra, a flunky who's track record shows him to be unqualified morally to be given such an important job especially after all the time it took to get rid of the other crook. This whole thing leaves this democrat in shock.

It appears if this is all that the democrats can do this web site should shutdown and save their money. I am now for the first time in my life considering voting independent as my trust in the democrats in the senate is ruined. How could you let this guy in, what could you possibly been thinking about? It looks like a deal was done to us who feel like bipartisanship is wasted on carpetbaggers and their elected functionaries like this clown Gates. This made a mockery of all of work and sweat to get all of these seats away from the gop by the DNC head honcho.

See I thought the vote on the 7th gave the democrats the mandate to end the war now, raise the minimum wages, void the tax cut to the rich,, shut down wiretapping of Americans in violation of the 4th amendment, and the complete destruction of the anti “Bill of Rights” “Patriot Act.. While going after Halliburton, Carlyle and all the other mercenary SOB and start investigating everyone in this administration for war crimes and finally impeaching some supreme court appointees and the white house occupant.

I do not consider this selection of Gates to even be part right, everyone obviously except the democrats in the senate know this guys is just another scumbag. I believe that all who voted for this guy should start looking for their replacement in the rear view mirror. If the election were held again I would not vote for either of my senators if I knew this treachery was in the works.

This act will set the tone for after the majority switch in January, obviously bargains are already in the works, I want criminals put in jail, not rewarded, which is exactly what you people have done. If the tax-cut to the rich is not voided, the minimum wage increased, shut down of wiretapping of Americans in violation of the 4th amendment stopped and the complete destruction of the anti “Bill of Rights” “Patriot Act. torn-up within 30 days in the house and senate democrats who wrote and signed and worked for this last election will all know a fix is in to save these crooks from the punishment traitors deserve.

That will I believe end both parties I believe. No doubt new ones like evolutionary changes will get started to fill that void, nature hating a vacuum. But the party of my fathers, fathers, father, their Democratic Party will be gone forever. The Democratic Party in the senate should be ashamed of itself. You have really done a bad thing with this vote, just when democrats thought the tide was turning. Any sign of capitulation, any more allowances of this kind of profiteer, should be harshly dealt with, the gop already think your weaklings, sissies and believe me bipartisanship is just a word to them.
