Amazing how when its a few republicans voting with dems its a bipartisan vote and when its a few dems voting with republicans its a mostly party line vote.Exactly my first thought when I read this. How does a party with a majority lose a "party line vote"?

After today’s drubbing in the Senate, and yesterday’s attack in Boston, he’s got to pull a rabbit out of the hat. I’m thinking he’s going to announce executive orders. Something to make him look Presidential. In command. We’re not going to like it.

This is big.
All the Feinstein crap was just that. THIS was what they really wanted to ram through.

In addition to Heitkamp, the other three Democrats voting against the measure were Sens. Mark Begich (D-Alaska), Max Baucus (D-Mont.), and Mark Pryor (D-Ark.). Bi-partisan opposition. That needs to be the mantra.

Obama won’t mention the Dems that voted against it, only the Republicans who voted against it
To: Red Steel
Why did this need 60 votes? Did the Republicans threaten to filibuster again so this was really a vote for cloture? Was it outside the normal order of the Senate so it required more than 51 votes? Seriously, the Dems have their 51 votes so they can logroll the Republicans unless the Republicans enact a filibuster, and will all the backstabbing by John McQueeg and Lindsey Grahamnesty I doubt that the GOP could maintain a filibuster.

Reid just cut off the votes on Amendments and bill for today. Likey for Obama’s whine session at 5:30 PM.
Feinstein is now whining and pissing in the wind in a rant.
The loser is crushed.

Old Feinswine is really screeching and bitching out the spineless democraps.

I’m betting that Mark Max and Heidi, could feel the ill wind blowing. If they had gone with the crowd they would have been primaried and lost, and Heidi at least has just begun.
