C-span
Posted on 01/30/2006 5:57:36 AM PST by ken5050
Good Monday morning, fellow Freeper political junkies. One of the more ridiculous episodes of political theater is about to play itself out on the Senate floor, as the John Kerry-led democrats mount an exercise in political futility which will further expose their total irrelevance..So join us today, or drop in on occasion, for the festivities...

DEMOCRATS ARE TWO VOTES SHY OF A FILIBUSTER I seriously doubt that's true. Although they are a few turds short of a full diaper.
To: Mo1
I agree. He's about as "useful" an idiot as Jumpin' Jim Jeffords was when he was a "Republican".
But he showed everyone just how gutless he is by taking up the "Independent" label.

Hi! Thank you for the thread, and for all of the suggestions on supporting information. I will be here intermittently until 3PM. After that I have to meet grandkids when they get off the bus, so I won't get to watch the cloture vote. My hope is that the Rats embarass themselves totally.

I heard that two-vote shy line too. But I heard it on Wednesday or Thursday. That was before some senators broke publically and said they wouldn't support a filibuster. I think it's old information.

Biden just said he will filibuster but I still don't think they have enough.

If they do, then Bush and the GOP invoke the Nuclear option(s)...first the Senate Dems, then Iran..

Biden just said he will filibuster but I still don't think they have enough. Yesterday on CNN he said he was against a filibuster but would vote to continue the debate
Slick, ain't he

Does any one know how the Jersey Senators are voting?
To: ken5050
Is Snowe the only other Repub senator to not announce her intentions? I hope she goes along with her Maine colleague Sen Collins and votes in favor. In any case it sounds like the pro filibuster creeps will fall short, but it could be close.
