I've been whining for a long time about the Pederson campaign's anemic fighting spirit. I'm pleased to see the latest "Kyl's gone Washington" ad, but it's going to take a lot more than that to unseat this incumbent. As I've been saying, Kyl's voting record is ripe for the pickin'.

For example, last year Kyl voted AGAINST bankruptcy protections for military servicemembers. The Orwellian-named "Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005" was bad enough (and doesn't protect consumers a whit), but this amendment would have at least afforded servicemembers some protections not available to the rest of us. With all the sacrifices that they and their families make in the name of protecting and serving this country, and all the financial hits they take to do so, these protections (sponsored by Assistant Democratic Leader Dick Durbin of Illinois) would have been the least Congress could do to protect and thank those servicemembers.

But Kyl, in his own rubber-stamp way, voted against protecting our service men and women and for giving more windfall profits to the credit card companies and banks. Why should we expect anything else from the Senator who always puts profits before people?
