Vote Summary @ #102.
Thanks to everyone who made phone calls...
I’m pretty sure about how Angry Ben and The Dwarf will vote.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
PING!
(Hopefully, there is still time...)
Snowe and Collins throw our pre-911 disabled vets under the bus, along with Crybaby Voinovich and the Globalist from Indiana. Why do we even call these people Republicans?
Thank you, anybody who made the calls. At least we tried.
This vote should have been a no brainer. Had you seen Coburn’s presentation, what he was asking for was a mere drop in the UN bucket. The UN wastes more than he asked for every 5 minutes.
I am furious at this vote.
The bill which passed without the Coburn amendment, S 1963, will restrict access by our Vets from past wars like the Gulf War, and it is UNFUNDED.
Coburn called it a “political press release bill,” meaning it LOOKS like we are doing something for Vets, but the reality is we are actually doing nothing.
It’s a sad, sad day when we throw our Beloved Vets under the bus like this. I am just so disgusted I don’t even know what to say anymore.
I feel very bad right now, but there are more fights to come. Maybe we will get it sooner and start earlier next time. I don't know where the person who started this thread disappeared to, but if he/she has checked back, PLEASE ping me if you post anything like this again so we can move on it.
Thanks
I live for the say those Maine bit&hes get what’s coming to them. I want to see them voted out!!! or thrown out.
Bond (R-MO)
Cochran (R-MS)
Collins (R-ME)
Corker (R-TN)
Gregg (R-NH)
Lugar (R-IN))
Snowe (R-ME)
Voinovich (R-OH)
What did these senators get in return for throwing our vets under the bus?
Names marked!!! and they won't be forgotten.
Oh, MestaMachine. Excuse me while I wipe the tears away.
I’d been out all afternoon and had this *sinking feeling* things would turn out this way.
At least I can go to my father’s grave site (a WWII Vet) with my head held high and tell him that there are a lot of us fighting the good fight.
Never thought I’d EVER see the u.n. take precedence over our VETERANS.
You did good last night, MM...THANK YOU and keep fighting.
Why are you disappointed? Did you not KNOW this would happen. THIS crapola is what keeps their snouts in the public trough!! Pigs ALL!! CO
High Lucy - thanks for all the research that you do. I know we haven’t freepmailed for awhile. But how are all those sugar Gliders doing? Love CO
All the usual suspects huh? except Graham. Guess he knows he’s not well liked at this time. Me thinks he will play his “conservative” self for the time being. CO
Snowe and Collins especially and a few others need to be Democraps period. They are ALWAYS the ones spoiling the soup. They are LIEBERALS!! CO
Yes. The usual suspects. I guess I am disappointed because a vote like this wouldn’t have been ANY skin off ANYONE’S nose. None of them had anything to lose and nothing to gain except some respect and it would have delivered a REAL benefit to our Disabled Vets.
Now I see that respect means nothing to them and their malevolence towards our Vets will not go unnoticed OR unpaid.
Like bam said, we are keeping score.
MM - get used to it. These RINO’s or those on the “take” are never going to ever be able to be “counted” on. They have shown it over and over and over again. THIS BILL is the ruination of America. I know, My American cousins are ready to go to war in America. If it isn’t done soon, it never will be and the tools to do they won’t be there. I am afraid for America. It looks like I’m more afraid for America than Americans. Everyone to me seems to think they are going to take care of this in the voting booth. Not so. CO
Yeah they are so sweet as you say. I, as an ex SPCA PRESIDENT AND CRUELTY INSPECTOR have never seen one. Imagine that. YOU introduced me to them. CO
I’m glad your keeping score. I pray tho, that it will be of some use. Things are happening, not nice things, behind the scenes that are absolutely terrible. The things we all see are bad enough, but behind the scenes these wicked people are doing much much more. The time for talk is OVER. CO
