I just called Cochran. Spoke with the girl I spoke with daily on amnesty. She said he wants it to to the full senate. I told her if I wanted someone to vote with Obama, I should have voted for Fleming last November......
Sounds about right. A bill needs to get out of committee for a floor vote so hopefully this was a procedural vote. Vote it to the floor then vote against it.
That sounds ridiculous! The democrats have enough members on every committee to get it out of committe WITHOUT republican votes..do they not?
You need to relax and quit jumping to conclusions. There is a pattern developing here of one or two GOP voting to move something from the Committee to the floor on almost everything. Floor discussion and votes are completely open to public view on CSPAN II. Committee hearings are up and down and waste of time when the other side has the votes so two Republicans vote to take it to the floor so everyone can view the statements about the bill.
Girl in the office was right — they want it on the full floor of the Senate and out of Committee so the whole Country can see the Dems railroading it through. Both will vote against it on the floor.
Some Republicans have figured out how to play the game early in this session.
