Has anyone actually read the bill? It’s VERY long to sift through. If you have, can you point me to the areas of the bill that people are claiming makes volunteering mandatory?

Cochran is starting to vote like he is giving harry a lewinsky. I am so diappointed... and he was at one time a staunch and I mean staunch Conservative... now he just sucks.
LLS
Hutchison (Tex.)
Voted for this..
Time for tar & feathers!!!
Could someone explain exactly how McCain would have been substantially different/better than Obama?
Once again the stupid GOP Seantors believe the democraps will be honest with this maneuver ... the langauge/provisions removed recently will be re-inserted now that the fool GOP has voted for this bill in present form ... and once again a bill will get added to and rushed through without the elected representatives actually reading everything int he bill. That’s how billions got allocated for ACORN and ACORN related projects, recently.
`SEC. 151. PURPOSE.
`It is the purpose of this subtitle to authorize the operation of, and support for, residential and other service programs that combine the best practices of civilian service with the best aspects of military service, including leadership and team building, to meet national and community needs. Such needs to be met under such programs include those related to--
`(1) natural and other disasters;
`(2) infrastructure improvement;
`(3) environmental stewardship and conservation;
`(4) energy conservation;
`(5) urban and rural development; and
`(6) other unmet needs consistent with the purpose as described in this section.'.
In other words, twenty odd Republicans just voted to establish an Obama brownshirt corps today.
Idiots.
Bring it on, let’s get it started...
SEC. 6104. DUTIES. b 6 (6) Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.
NEVER.
Goober in the red Flannel shirt? It's way past time for him to go. Why anyone ever voted for him as sentor I'll never understand. His claim to fame was replacing a felon governor. He was big government then as governor. Lamar's deals after office were very questionable.
“Could someone explain exactly how McCain would have been substantially different/better than Obama?”
The only thing better is McCain is old. We had the chance of him croaking in office.
Excellent ping list. DisGUSTing that so many Rs voted for it. Now I’m thinking that “they” wanted McCain running against 0bama so no matter who “won” the leftist fascist agenda would go forward.
Any R who voted for this hateful piece of crap should get booted out as soon as they’re up for re-election.
Please do not insult idiots. They are so much worse than idiots, they are traitors.
I’d have expected no less from these traitors.
Something is going to spark it and only God knows what it is. In fact , it will be God who does it, he works in mysterious ways...
I called both of the Rinos when this was put to vote for cloture. I will call again tomorrow and tell them the same thing that you told them. Also I don’t care if a
Democrat does get either seat. Would we know the difference?
