Senate overcomes filibuster, votes to open debate on gun bill

[Old Sarge]

How many 'GOP' house members will be invited to booze it up aboard the Manchin yacht?

[JohnBrowdie]

Just like 0bamacare?

you should recall that ReBamaLosi had a MASSIVE majority in the house when obamacare passed. in fact, it passed the house BEFORE they snuck it through the senate.

[hal ogen]

It depends. They might be busy that evening partying at the Congressional Country Club.

[LowTaxesEqualsProsperity]

Lamar needs to be put out to pasture. Why is noone challenging him?

[JohnBrowdie]

"You'd like to THINK that, wouldn't you?"

no. I would actually "like to think" that your comment added value to the discussion. but I would be wrong.

[Old Sarge]

Country club, hell, why have a building when they have THIS:

"BUCCANEERS OF THE BELTWAY: CURSE OF THE BLACK TIE"

[CityCenter]

Nancy Pelosi no longer runs the House.

[Old Sarge]

No more than your quaint notion that you actually have a voice in government.

[CityCenter]

Not one Repulbican voted for Obama care. Whatever you think about the House, that comment is a red herring.

The real story http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3006640/posts Book it...

[Jane Long]

“It isn’t really the worst thing that could happen. Now they all have to go on the record and we get our list of who to vote out of office in 2014. Plus this is going nowhere in the House.”

Sounds a lot like what I kept hearing on ObamaCare. You assume a whole lot.

Nancy Pelosi no longer runs the House.

No, but her crybaby twin brother does.

Wash, rinse and repeat :(

[Steamburg]

Nancy Pelosi no longer runs the House.

Fooled me, There isn’t a pair of balls near as big as hers on the Republican side.

[ElkGroveDan]

Plus this is going nowhere in the House.

The whole point of this is to get house members on record. The Dem consultants want it. I won't get into a discussion of whether or not it will help or hurt some or all of them, that's a discussion we have had all over FR for years. I'm just pointing out that the Democrats believe it will help them with liberal-women turnout in contested house races.

[Fiji Hill]

This is DOA in the house.

With John Bonehead and Eric Cancer in charge, one can't be so sure.

[Old Sarge]

Good link, thanks!

[Forty-Niner]

The usual cast of traitorous characters.

[CityCenter]

I’m sure they believe that, but the election os way too far on the future at this point to know what affect this will have.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I have been advocating the repeal of the 17th amendment for years.

[fwdude]

What is a “moderate,” except a liberal who is ashamed of it?

[fwdude]

Going nowhere in the house... Just like Obama care?

I understand the peril. But also understand that CommieCare was passed with Demonic-rat majorities in BOTH chambers.

This will be a lot harder to pass in the House, as the Senate's original version - which will be far, far radically left just to add wiggle room. What I fear is that the radical Senate bill will be tweaked by house RINOS in partnership with radical libs to a just as unconstitutional form that the Senate will reluctantly approve. After what the Senate churns out, the tweaked House version will look almost "conservative" in comparison.
