Well, the Democrats' attempt to filibuster the Republican's "Don't Even Think About Claiming Financial Ruin Due To Your Massive Healthcare Costs and Userous Credit Card Fees and Interest" Bill was defeated. That means Democrats voted for cloture. Who? you might ask.

The roll call of shame (aka those Pro Credit Card Company Welfare):

Lieberman - The man who thinks being a better Democrat means vote for the Republican agenda.

Biden - Suddenly he's back on the kowtow. Any doubts that he's going to run for president in '08?

Salazar - Wow, not in office two months and already he's endorsing torture and class warfare. No wonder he was elected in Colorado. He's more conservative than Coors!

Byrd - This one surprises me. I always thought he was sensible. I guess he's been wowed by the glamour of the GOP.

Carper, Conrad, Johnson, Kohl, Landrieu, Lincoln, Nelson of Neb, Nelson of Fla, Pryor, Stabemow....

Disgusting. And you thought that just because they were Democrats they'd actually work to protect ordinary Americans?
