Since all of the money is gonna be pissed away, that would have been a better way to do it.

Nobody would starve this year or be homeless with this type bailout. Obama hates the poor.
To: davidosborne
Two problems with that idea:
1. Money only went to TAXPAYING Americans—nothing to the poor, welfare recipients.
2. No PORK, and therefore, NO PAYBACK!

exactly my point... I knew it would fail.. but since 61 senators killed it on a proceduarl motion.. we did not FORCE the Senators to vote YES or NO on a REAL STIMULUS

Yeah, but the criminals-in-charge, led by the Usurper-in-Chief would miss the opportunity to extract fealty for it.

61? That means half the Republican caucus voted to kill tax cuts only.
Looks like I’ll be spending extra time at the rail at church this Sunday.

They just put the thing up in the first place to kill time so that Sessions could not put up his amendment regarding E-Verify. It took past midnight for the Thune one and Reid said they were going to stop at midnight.
He had been waiting all day and they told him they would get to it. They lied. They told him they did not have time because they had to do this last Thune amendment which they knew they were going to kill.
These people are sick!

What I can’t figure out is why are they in a quorum call at 12:38 est. Reid is all alone.
To: acoulterfan
the UC had to be approved by McConnel.. this is really making me sick

Adjourned. Also Sessions had earlier made the announcement that he would be leaving Washington Tonight.
To: acoulterfan
anyone following this needs to know exactly what is going on.. WE NEED 41 NO votes on the cloture motion or we are done... we need to work through the weekend to get 41 senators to vote NO on the cloture motion..
