Cheers to Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-WV-01) for voting the right way on telecom immunity and defending the rule of law. Pains me to say this, but jeers to Rep. Nick Rahall on this vote.

The odd thing is that yesterday Rahall voted the right way on Iraq war funding and Mollohan voted the wrong way.

Update: Full roll call.

I can't believe that Rahall voted the wron way. (4.00 / 1)
I'm willing to bet that he didn't even read it.

How did Capito vote?


One guess. (4.00 / 1)

Two wrongs don't make a right, but in this case between Rahall and Mollahan two halves make one.  One is better than none.

Please explain that comment. (0.00 / 0)


Explain (0.00 / 0)
They were both wrong on seperate bills.  But between them we have one Congressman who voted the right way and one the wrong way.  We need to focus on electing more who will vote the right way.  

Let's not forget Rep. Capito, whom I believe you've supported in the past. (4.00 / 1)
She also voted with Bush.

So we have Capito, Rahall and Rockefeller voting for retroactive immunity for Bush and his precious telecoms while Mollohan and (I figure) Byrd will uphold the rule of law and their oath to protect and defend the constitution.

Nationally, all but one Republican sided with Bush. Rep. Capito, whom I believe you've supported in the past. 105 Dems  believe in upholding the rule of law as it was written.

So which side are you on concerning this issue, eastpanhandlib?


Let's Remember (4.00 / 1)
Nothing could be further from the truth.  I merely pointed out that we don't need to be over the top to win.  My comments were constructive.  Don't assume the worst or be so defensive.  Life is too short.  I have many things to say but don't because all people on here want to do is attack.  

Since you posted "nothing could be further from the truth", (4.00 / 2)
perhaps you could provide a list of reasons why you didn't support Capito in the past.

And I think more than a few of us would be curious to know what you recall about past negative campaigning by outside groups on her behalf in your district so we could be better prepared to neutralize it.
