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?

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.

I am not sure if it still in there but this was.

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.

Alexandar seems to want to lose this Fall.

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.

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.

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?
