No need to repeal anything if they can block it first.

They cannot do any more then uniformly as a body vote against this, which they have done.

McCain looked old, confused, and asked stupid questions. As for Blankfein, his picture appears next to the dictionary definition for oleagenous.

I guess they will have to keep voting until it passes. They don’t have enough bribes yet.

Possibly, but as of now, they're going in the wrong direction.

Vote No on everything. Then after November 2, 2010, start repealing everything. Then after November, 2012, start dismantling the federal government except for the Military and essential services, roads, grid, etc. "The primary purpose of the Federal Government is to provide for the National Defense." What happened?

I agree...however how much of this is political show for both sides is questionable as far as I am concerned.....if it is a matter of who gets the bucks... this vote will continue till they can get it on the floor for a vote....expect alot of back room deals are going down...the republicans will look like they held out to prevent the vote...but I do question if this all isn’t just washingtons two step.

Fox Business just announced that the GOP will vote in their caucus at 4:30pm to allow a floor debate on the financial reform bill if the “progress” made between Dodd and Shelby is included in the bill.

All it takes is 51 votes to change the Senate rules so that you don't need 60 votes to pass certain bills.

Reid gets tired of the way the game is being played and all he has to do is change the rules.

Let’s look at what this bill is.

It is not a real bill, it and the Goldman phony baloney grilling is a distraction.

Distraction from what you ask?

Glad you asked.

From the “Puerto Rico - give - the- Dems- 6 more Reps and 2 more senators” bill that will cost our nation its sovereignty bill!!!

Good Grief!!! Can we wake up our Republican idiots to stop this already???

Financial reform??? Duh, it will affect Goldman if it goes through. The Dems don’t really want to pass it.

Also going on is the CCX grand takeover. First, get Puerto Rico as a state, then, Carbon Credit Exchange and a climate bill, follow it up with Universal Voter Registration and, Voila, never have to lose another election!

Do I know how to stop it? Nope. I hope Rush, Hannity, Beck would actually work together instead of never mentioning each other on their shows. Did anyone listen to Rush for the full 3 hrs today? I didn’t hear him mention CCX. WHY?????

LOL..that Goldman chairman was pathetic yesterday. He certainly was oleagenous. Crooked to the marrow. And what was the deal with hardly no republicans questioning any of them? The only one that did any real work was Coburn and even he seemed a bit out of his league at times(not as much as McCain however). They didn’t ask any deep probing questions to expose Goldman’s connection to the WH or anything. It was lame. McCain is dragging down all the senators on our side with his populist progressive ‘get along’ crap.

GOOD. We need a PERMANENT FILIBUSTER on every single bill till after November, when we take BOTH Houses of Congress and force the Kenyan Usurper and Biden out of office. John Boehner would become Speaker of the House and then PRESIDENT! Think of it. If we pay things right, Boehner cld be president by February or March!

Maybe the House Republicans can change but I have no hope for these guys. Time and again they are spineless wimps. Primary them all out of business.

The Republicans don’t have to ask deep questions. It’s all basic stuff. GS gave 75% of their donations to dims in 2008. 75% of all bribes over the last decade from Wall Street have been to dims. They support democrats who carry their water. The Wall Street fat cat bankers are proven democrats based on their donations.

Why can’t the Stupid Party shout this from the steps of the capitol?
