Today is the Cloture Vote on Immigration Bill [first cloture vote fails; 2nd cloture vote fails]
7 June 2007 | Gulf War One

Posted on 06/07/2007 6:17:41 AM PDT by Gulf War One

This is the homestretch.

Call and e-mail your senators today, Republicans and Democrats, urging them not to table debate on this critical piece of legislation.

It deserves a fair and open debate of all ramifications. To do otherwise is unamerican.

Ask them to vote "NO" on cloture.

Keep bumping this to the top.

Today is the day.

Reid doesn't lead. He bashes, slashes, sucker-punches, and destroys.

He is terrible.

McConnell is the one who orchestrated this whole thing. The tip-off was when he very forcefully said we will NOT be stampeded, we WILL have a full debate on ALL amendments. If you listened very carefully at that moment you could hear Reid’s, Kennedy’s, McCain’s and Bush’s you-know-what’s pucker!

Mc Connell is laying out the lamest excuse in the world.
Problem is not the number of amendments 'we' get to vote on...
Problem is supporting or not supporting a give away / surrender / payoff / (add epithet here).

"Tell it like it is" is not part of the pubbie platform.

This bill is not dead.

Reid is basically saying he will make deals with the RINOs to make it pass.

"We got a game going, and no basketball."

Reid, you got a mouth flapping, and no brain.

Harry, the book has already been written.

It’s not “Profiles In Courage”, it’s “None Dare Call It Treason.”

Reid is crying that no one will give him the basketball. And now the king bloviator, the fat pig from Mass. is now going to cry us another river.

A river of blubbering alocholic tears. Go jump on a waitress Ted.

Is Kennedy ever up for re-election? Seems he’s just always there.

I may take back my words on McConnell. He is really starting to sound like an A—Hole. Let it Die.

Who the hell are the 7 “courageous Republicans” who voted for Cloture.

We need to make them an example. Remind them daily that we are coming after them.
