They all want to reduce us to serfdom. The Democrats want us to be serfs of the state. The globalist Republicans want us to be serfs of the multinational corporations.

......outstanding.....the Dems are always bringing up the disparity of the rich and poor and then want to vote on a bill that will make that disparity even greater.... What a bunch of hypocrites

A Democrat who’s at least consistent on being pro-worker, even if he’s misguided most of the time (not this time, of course) on how to do it.

Will GW and Lindsey Graham call Dorgan a “bigot”? Oh, I forgot. That’s only reserved for the conservative base.

I’m still feeling ill for finding myself agreeing with some of what Bernie Sanders was saying earlier. It’s not his fault he was right, that honor goes to the demopublicans.

It is amazing how little thought was given to the impact that this bill would have on American workers. While I’m sure most of us rarely agree w/Dorgan, thank God for him in this case.

You sure have been pimping the Dems today:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1846511/posts

Don’t you think they are saying these things simply to pander.. do you honestly believe the dems believe this? This was, after all, a mostly democrat bill.

Don’t think for a second they wouldn’t try to get this bill passed if they didn’t see a chance to try to split our side even more than they have already.

I watched that. He was outstanding.

I’d trade three RINOS for a guy like that.

He called it exactly what it is.

I saw Senator Dorgan’s remarks on this so-called bill. I want to know who is this guy??? Any North Dakota folks who can clue me in? His speech was a breath of realism after listening to Fat Ted on a drunken rampage. Ted, get the to AA and soon. It works!

It’s important to contact to the senators like Dorgan and Sessions fighting El Monstruosidad to give them encouragement, as well as the ones on the fence and the ones pushing it.

I’ll look it up, it’s probably posted at Dorgan’s Senate website ... but he seems to be putting this all on business, forgetting that the unions are pushing it, too. They stand to gain a vast new membership .. it’s not just ‘Big Business,’ it’s ‘Big Labor’ and ‘Big Government’ interests, too

You betcha.
I saw it and noted that this dorky looking helmet head was doing a knockout job dumping on this AMNESTY bill of McCain/Kennedy/Specter/Bush.

He was pretty damned eloquent and crystal clear in his logic and his anecdotes actually made sense and had the sound of truth to them.
Now, THAT is not something you get from a senator very often, is it?.

I’m glad he’s trashing it but NOT for the reasons he stated.

I checked DU. There are hardly threads on this subject, and what posts there were were skeptical of the bill. They didn't like the cheap labor for corporate profits.

The Dems are supposedly being led around by the nose by moonbat leftists, but in this case I do not sense any energy emanating from the hard left crowd. It is the political class elites vs. the populists of both right and left.

Senator Dorgan said that he has been in the Senate long enough to have seen various pieces of legislation proposed which have been assembled by "gangs of twelve" etc. and all of them claimed to be grand compromises but were without exception terrible bills. He mentioned how their proponents, "puffed up with helium or hydrogen", come to the podium to tout their worthless proposals.

I think Mccain just got body slammed. LOL

Sounds like someone wants to keep his job.

I really don't care if this is genuinely felt, or political. What he said is the truth, whatever the motivation. He's the one that got an amendment in that is giving the pro-business lobby fits and hurting this bill's chances. He may be a Democrat, and Kyl may be a republican, but it's Dorgan listening to the people NOT Kyl. In the end it wouldn't hurt this country to have more politician's listen to the people for a change, even if they are doing so to save their political hides, rather then give the lobbies full reign of the Senate and protect their collegues first.

As of this moment sessions and Dorgan are the two doing the linos share to kill this bill and I'm going to support them in that.

They are trying to get a Quorum call again. So far no luck. Roll call going on right now.
