The remaining Dems: Attend and then get up and walk out when Bibi gets up to speak. They already know what he’s going to say.

Good man!!!

Better yet stay and turn your backs to him.

More please. The Dems’ balls status is still only at prepubescent nascent gonads.

I’ve always loved this guy; even more now. And since he’s now joined the group of Democrats the right plans to spend big bucks smearing for refusing to be political props, let me take the new opportunity to ask everyone to support J Street, which is planning ads of their own to defend those Democrats. You’ll also be helping strengthen the strongest American voice against right-wing Israel “supporters” on the Hill. Really important, for those Dems and for both countries.

What’s the count now? How many Democrats are going?

One is too many.

A sensible move. On Planet Earth, anyway.

48 total I think so far.

What do they have to do to ensure that nobody can sit in their seat for the speech? Can they decree it? I’m starting to wonder whether the best strategy would have to just been no-shows without telling anyone ahead of time. It really blunts the message when the GOP/Teatrolls are just going to stick some rich CEO’s intern son in the seat to make it look like a packed house.

Good for Senator Whitehouse. Wish my “bluedog” had as much courage, but Donnelly of Indiana on votes replublican!

Good on you, Senator. But only 6 Jewish Democratic members of Congress out of 28 is still a shonda. They need to take a deliberate stand against this farce too.

It’s not that hard, guys. Show some guts and boycott this for what it is, an election stunt.

I think someone in the Dem caucus should be given the assignment of shouting out during the speech…“YOU LIE”

I love this Senator.! He should be at the top of the list of Vice Presidential contenders in my book. Hell I wish he was in play to be President! He is one of the smartest and wisest and most to the point speaker in the Senate today! Just check out his …"Or you can believe the Senator with the Snowball " Speech!
