Sounds like it's all over but the blood-letting.

Death of the two-party system?

Death of any checks and balances?

Death to our Republic?

How could we let this happen?

This was a procedural vote. I’m kind of surprised it was as close as it was. I kind of expected a party-line vote, for the most part, even from the “no” Democrats.

WE didn't, but 53 million voters on Nov 4, 2008 did.

I sure hope so. I was looking at this as a test vote for Sunday.

Too many Americans caught up in the pursuit of pleasure and hedonism, not paying attention on who they elected nor educating themselves.

Please enlighten me. Wasn’t this a vote to NOT vote on the bill, but to enact the Slaughterhouse rule this Sunday?

There is no such thing as a moderate Democrat.

There is no such thing as a Blue-Dog Democrat.

There is no such thing as a Pro-Life Democrat.

There are only varations of cover Democrats use.

Passage of this nation-killing bill was 100% certain the moment these evil bastards were handed absolute power.

Now we need to figure out how the hell we're going to survive this and leave our children some semblance of a free country.

Exactly. The ones who would let their daughter get raped so she would learn self-defense.

Go easy but not too easy. Voters were indeed duped because most rely on the MSM. This was clearly shown in Ziegler’s videos “How Obama Got elected”

The real culprit is the MSM, no the people so much.

But let’s ‘hopey’ that the sheep will find out the MSM is a fraud, i.e. sheep need to wake up.

No. This was a preemptive proposal put up by the GOP to explicitly prevent the 'rats from using the "Slaughter solution". It never had a prayer of passing, but the point was to force the vote and spotlight the trick.

Even 'rats who won't be voting for the actual "Slaughter solution" rule don't like having the minority party dictate the rules.

They run as pseudo democrats just to win an election. Then the real democrat comes out.

“How could we let this happen? “

Not to worry. No matter what happens, I keep hearing/reading that “this” can all be rectified on election day.

So the voted “NO” to eliminate the option NOT to vote on the Bill?

Just kill me now.

McCain would have brought us Amnesty early. After that it is all the same- socialism and a one-party Social Democrat State as far as the eye can see.
