Kucinich is a great alternative to the rest of the field. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/politics/july-dec07/kucinich_10-04.html

He looks a like like Cheney. How scary is that?

None of the candidates who opted out of this vote should have a chance to be president. None of the people who allowed him to get approved as attorney general should be re-elected. This country is in the hands of maniacs and cowards.

We need to Impeach Bush and Cheney. It is our only hope. Take action now. Insist that Congress act on HR333 - the articles of impeachment - introduced by Dennis Kucinich.

Oh - vote for Dennis Kucinich... ignore the media blackout on him and find out about him. He's smart and honorable. Here's a good interview he gave at PBS. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/politics/july-dec07/kucinich_10-04.html

Being an Orthodox Jew like our new Attorney General-- I don't think anyone used the anti-semitic card-- not nowadays -- we're doing well- we have Schumer, Chertoff, Feingold, Coleman, Feinstein, Boxer, Spitzer, Kissinger, Albright, Spector, and the list goes right on to some who--if they ever had their D.N.A. tested-- may be surprised to find out they're really Jewish!

Is this anti-Semitic behavior since he is an Orthodox Jew?
Perhaps also an explanation for the yes-vote of, otherwise oh sooo pro-constitution, leaders Feinstein and Schumer.
What is a little torture here and there...

DOES ANYONE KNOW....

- that candidate Mike Gravel has been BANNED from all future NBC debates???? That would include NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, etc., etc.

- that DEMOCRACY FOR AMERICA (Social Progress, Fiscal Responsibility, Grassroots Activism) took a pulse poll of 150,000 likely Democratic­/Progressi­ve voters and that the results showed Kucinich, Al Gore (who I'm still praying will run) and Edwards as the leading 3
candidates....and this is by many indiviuaal states????

- that Pon Farr is a condition in the fictional Star Trek universe that induces the desire to mate in an adult Vulcan. The concept debuted in the 1967 episode "Amok Time", written by Theodore Sturgeon.

IT'S ALL 'BOUT THE MEDIA !!!!

Would they have made a difference?

It seems like Bush makes a wish list and this Congress serves as Santa Claus.

Earlier today, I referenced Greg Sargent's piece at Talking Points Memo (here: http://tpmelectioncentral.com/2007/11/why_didnt_senators_running_for_president_vote_on_mukasey.php) regarding the mysterious absense of the presidential candidates at this very important vote.

At first it puzzled me. Why would the Democratic leaders in the Senate insist on a vote minus these important voices? And then it occurred to me that this tactic provided a perfect cover for Biden, Dodd, Clinton and Obama.

Whatever happened, it was pretty shoddy work by the Senate all the way around.

They are busy showing us what to do to NOT get elected.

As an obama supporter, I must say I am quite disappointed.

I don't think he had anything to lose by voting against this guy. He is the same guy that said the president could act above the constitution in certain circumstances and does not know if water boarding is torture.

Those two reasons were enough to be against. I am also disapointed in Dodd too. I thought he was leading the fight agaist this guy. Well, Obama is still it for me!

In principle I am for the Democratic Party but apparently there isn't one.

Four Presidential Candidates, two leading contenders, dodged a critical position vote. Or are Democrats Republican stooges?

How did Edwards vote?

.
yes, a conspiracy between the Dam candidates & the Honorable H.Reid, so they could "not vote."
.

Does this mean the end of the upcoming AIPAC trial? Looks like it.

Schumer insisted he supported Mukasey because Mukasey promised to uphold any resolution Congress passes declaring that waterboarding is torture.

So the onus is on Congress now to declare waterboarding torture.

I think Schumer owes it to us to introduce that legislation, pronto.

What a cheap shot. Reid scheduled it where many of them could not get there--often tough to get back to D.C. on a few hours notice when you're out knocking on doors in Iowa.

Enough about Mukasey, when are you going to talk about Hugo Chavez?

Greenwald on Salon piles in on deeper:

What Happened to the Senate's "60-vote Requirement"?

'Every time Congressional Democrats failed this year to stop the Bush administration (i.e., every time they "tried"), the excuse they gave was that they "need 60 votes in the Senate" in order to get anything done. Each time Senate Republicans blocked Democratic legislation, the media helpfully explained not that Republicans were obstructing via filibuster, but rather that, in the Senate, there is a general "60-vote requirement" for everything.

How, then, can this be explained?

"The Senate confirmed Michael B. Mukasey as attorney general Thursday night, approving him despite Democratic criticism that he had failed to take an unequivocal stance against the torture of terrorism detainees.

The 53-to-40 vote made Mr. Mukasey, a former federal judge, the third person to head the Justice Department during the tenure of President Bush . . . Thirty-nine Democrats and one independent [Bernie Sanders] opposed him."'
