“I think we’ll take up the House bill because it’s a good bill. I can’t imagine filibustering the bill that I like from the House. There will be a vote to take out the defunding of Obamacare. It will be a majority vote,” Graham said Monday on Fox News. “And I’m hoping some Democrats will side with all Republicans to keep the defunding in place, but I doubt it.”
They've no doubt been coached by McConnell and Cornyn to say something along these lines.
But just as in the gun debate, where a vote for a motion to proceed (to debate) was a vote for gun control (since there was no debate), a vote for cloture on the House bill is a vote to fund Obamacare.
We're aware of the games and I hope FreedomWorks and Heritage score a vote for cloture as a vote against conservatism.
I think the electorate that matters now realizes this trick and they will be out in force 2014, hopefully unlike our counterparts who only got out and voted, cheated and stole the election because they had to keep their ‘black man in President’.
A vote for cloture is a vote in support of ObamaCare. The RINOs can later vote against the bill knowing that it will pass with a simple majority. They will do that, thinking they can have it both ways!
Can the House then blue-slip the bill when it comes back, or will they get screwed in conference?
The fix is in. Reid has been giving the rhetorical finger to Cruz for the past several days. He wouldn’t do that if he didn’t have his six RINO’s corralled up ready to support him.
Yes, we are supposed to be too stupid to notice. Unfortunately, the vast majority will just believe what they hear coming out of the TV.
Grahams tone has changed a lot since he is about to be primary’ed, but he hasn’t he is the same Dem Lite he always was.
"I voted for the De-Funding Obamacare Bill", i.e., "I voted knowing that Harry Reid would strip the De-Funding with a simple Majority Vote, and I could then just vote Against the removal, which didn't mean sh#t, but you aren't supposed to notice that...."
What a crock...EVERY Republican who votes "For" the process of stripping that will ensue should have their picture posted in the Post Offices across their State, AND, Nationwide, as part of the corrupt Power Brokers who are dismantling the Constitution and Freedom, piece-by-piece.
Go to Venezuela, you useless commie.
Exactly right. That’s how we got ObamaCare to begin with.
Olympia Snowe crossed over to vote with the Dems for cloture then voted against final passage.
*wink wink* indeed.
Lindsey Graham is a socialist. He is an enemy operative who needs to be out out to pasture—in Siberia. Nice flat land out there.
Grinning weasel. I hope we turn him out next year.
Senate Rinos have always been the weakest link.
Pray America is waking up
Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants... bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society. Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors. [but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.
