I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t see a single filibuster in our future, 60 Dems or not.
· Allows states to offer coverage immediately to children of legal immigrants, abolishing a five-year waiting period.
Lugar ought to just put the (D) after his name and be done with it. >:|
First the new lawsuit bill, now this.
Watch for the stock market to keep dropping.
Why doesn’t Nine Percent Nancy just make it permissible to abort them?
Obama would sign it. He’s supported killing babies that are born alive and outside of the womb before.
That POS Martinez said he is leaving and will not run for reelection. When he put out that note, I wrote and asked why wait, go now. No response.
He had no problem with Geisner or Holder or Clinton, votes for open borders, and basically is a joke. He was even RNC chair under Bush. Birds of a feather I guess.
No surprise here. It passed in the last Congress with GOP help and was only overturned by Bush veto. It is pretty popular within the states.
I just went and read the bill but could not find the provision of what the personal income limit is for households or singles?

Who is John Galt?
As if the people it’s popular among have the faintest clue what’s in the bill.
And KBH wants to be governor of Texas ?
If we wanted a 'rat we can vote for one.
