Post results of the vote.

"Kos is down, too."

Kos is up and they're practically suicidal! It's hilarious.

[Indy Pendance]

LOL! BWAHAHA, all together now, kinda like the coke thingy.

[Uncledave]

...or Ginsberg is mistaken for a diseased elm tree and accidentally mulched.

Dude, that's freakin' funny.

[I_like_good_things_too]

Yep, the DUmmies have to close off access so that the rest of the world doesn't see their insanity. Thing is, they are insane EVERY DAY, so today is really no different, just a little more hysterical.

Right now they are in the internet's version of a rubber room.

Today was the last day of the American democracy. It died today.

Isn't that a standing post on Kos?

I recall seeing that there when Bush was elected/the SCOTUS decision came down; 9-11 ("Bush will impose martial law."; when Congress voted to allow the invasion of Afghanistan; ditto Iraq; when we actually invaded iraq; the midterm election when the dems fell on their faces; when W won re-election; when W's tax cuts went through (tax cuts for the rich, the beginning of the end for social security); when W signed the faith-based initiative bill ("The rise of the theocrcy" or whatever); the UN vote on Iraq; when Rove wasn't indicted; when Roberts was confirmed; when Bolton was confirmed...

I'm sure I missed something, but be advised, I'm not just rattling off all the things W did that they hate--I'm serious, they said the same thing all these times.

Not yet. Dunno who they're waiting on because all the usual suspects already voted.

[chesley]

Well, it's a thought. And it might give me some cred with the whackos.'

In fact, I was told by one of them in a former incarnation on DU that"if you were a donor I would listen to you, but you're not, so I don't care what you say". This was 2/3 weks before I got banned.

Robert F. Kerry?

Did the comPost really write this?

[hattend]

I wonder if Chrissy will be talking about Reid after he steps down from the Minority Leader position when the Abramoff hearings get underway?


Nahhh....

[Chode]

HA ha...
and the RATS take another one in the...

[Admin Moderator]

Thanks, ping me if you get it and I'll update the title. This has been a fun thread, thanks freepers!

[Yardstick]

We've been tracking the votes. At last count, we had roughly 70 "aye"s.

NRO Corner saying the same thing...

"I believe we broke 70, with 14 or 15 dems"

[steveegg]

I've got Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" running through my head regarding Kos/the RATs/the DUmmies.

[bigLusr]

Kennedy/Kerry are "working the floor"... trying to change votes. Unfortunately, the the fat lady ain't sung yet.

[Dilbert56]

If he follows his M.O., Kerry will change his vote to "aye" so he can say he voted against the cloture before he voted for it.

Disarray doesn't even begin to describe the Dems on this. Obama, Clinton and Biden said they were against a filibuster then changed their minds overnight because the NY Times told them to. I'd like to categorize their actions but it would be unfair to the ladies of the oldest profession.

[Purrcival]

...or the Boys' and Girls' Clubs?

[CyberAnt]

I am so ticked because C-SPAN will not show the vote count .. like they usually do.

I suppose they're trying to give the impression that the vote is not going for the repubs - when I believe they're not showing it because it favors the repubs ..??

[AmericanMade1776]

If John Kerry does have something to say, about this..he will phone it in from Switzerland..haha!

[UnionCountyYoungRepublican]

How about WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!!

[GermanBusiness]

No final count over at DailyKOS yet.

But they are doing a better job of listing the Democratic senators who voted for cloture.

Cantwell of Washington voted YES
Salazar of Colorado voted YES

The KOS KIDZ are howling for blood about this.

But especially about Lieberman whom they are calling Liebertraitor or Lieberbush. ;-)
