The PHARMA bill was amendment 1010 to S.1082 (Introduced by Ted Kennedy). Details are here. Notables:

Biden--Not voting
Byrd--Nay
Clinton--Nay
Feingold--Nay
Kerry--Yea
Kennedy--Yea
Lieberman--Yea
McCain--Not voting
Obama--Not voting
Reid--Nay
Schumer--Nay

Anyone seeing a pattern here? Well it seems that a majority of Republicans voted for the proposal. Why, when the Dems are supposed to be the party aginst big PHARMA? The Left is oddly silent. What are they talking about? Well Kos has a fictional debate between Bush and Truman (guess who wins), Crooks and Liars? Well I suppose Jon Stewart jokes are more funny, while Atrios needs to diss on Fox News. My cold comfort? The Right isn't doing their job either.

This is one of those things that makes me want to move to Iceland. I'm a Democrat till the end, but the only way you get the government you want is to demand it and hold the flame to your Representatives' feet. And the only way you can do that is if you're informed about it. I want to know if Obama dodged the vote and if Clinton voted nay. They should be held responsible for their actions. Real conservatives who dislike Bush got him because their side was blindly partisan, will Dems get the same thing in 2008? With reporting like this it's a strong possibility.
