Senate just came into session. Happily, Dingy Harry is sparing us any commentary early on this morning, as is McConnell. Debate goes until 12:10, at which time there is 30 minutes reserved for majority and minority leaders , then the vote. Will there be any more GOP intramural fireworks on the senate floor?
Bad Kabuki Theater. That’s the entertainment of the day.
That is going to be a mighty small fig leaf to cover a huge fail.
America elects CELEBRITY POLITICIANS, NOT PATRIOTS!
But for this fight as many of us as are able should correct “clean bill” and call it the “Senate bill” and let the people know that the Senate dictators are demanding the House completely yields all control to them.
I think most Americans would really fight back if they understood the controlling actions of the Democrats. No one likes to be bullied. But so far, Reid gets up and calls the Tea Party names, says they’re trying to disrupt gov’t, and we say nothing about them.
Don’t we have anyone who’’s a real fighter, who will call them what they are in public, on tv, wherever? When they say “clean bill” we say no, it’s a dirty bill bought with backroom deals and bribes.
Exactly! With very few exceptions, ie Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee...
Did Pat Toomey (R-PA) vote with the traitorous bastard ‘RATs?
You’re so right!
I had to guess and I was mistaken.
I always seem to add the second f!
Thank you so much.
Now you're talkin'.
Dump Mitch. Elect the bitch!
Have Ovide Lamontagne run against Kelly Ayotte again and this time state that she failed the people and rattle off her voting record. She only won cause Palin supported her, but Palin is now even upset at her over her amnesty support. So Ovide will have an easy time beating Ayotte.
Listen, Guys/Gals....As a student of history for far too many years to remember, nothing good or deserving comes easy!!! We all knew what the end result of the Senate cloture vote would be way before it was taken!!! Fact is: Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Marco Rubio are now the real leaders of the Republican. Both Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn are as dead, politically, as door nails. And....a full blown ditto for John McCain and Lindsey Graham!!!
The House will do its thing, the “right’ thing...and the battle goes on. Two million Americans stepped up and signed/endorsed the Lee/Cruz “Defund Obamacare Petition” and it still grows with each passing hour. Keep it alive and growing until Obamacare is derailed or repealed!!!
Folks...”Our” revolution to save our country has now been started by Senator Ted Cruz with his gang of three, all great patriots and leaders!!! So....let’s not let this day of nothing, set us back!!!! Our enemies, along with the Pubbie RINOs may have won the battle today...but they have nowhere near won the war!!! Onward & do your thing!!!!

No
He sure shocked me.
I thought for certain he’d stand with Senator’s Cruz and Lee.
54-44 final vote.
Along party lines?
Who were the two senators who didn’t vote?
“Cloture” vote occurring now, “closes” debate.
Next senate move is the REID AMMENDMENT to strip out the House/Cruz defunding (of obamacare) language from the bill before them.
The stripped bill will then be ready to go back to the House for more wrangling there.
Yep.
Time to get back to work now, the future millions on ObamaCare are depending on me. :(
I hate John McStain!
again the final is
54 Ayes
44 Nos
23 traitors did not vote No on cloture when it mattered but want to appear to be voting against ObamaCare when they run for reelection..
this needs to be exposed loudly and EXPLAINED CLEARLY when they run...
too often they get away with boasting “Reelect me. I voted No on ObamaCare” and the treason stays covered up...
I should mention, the beltway insiders would deny that clean CR means what I said.
But that is the practical effect of what they are talking about in this case.
To be clear, the official meaning up there is that it’s a bill to fund all of the government, with nothing else. In this case the nothing else was attached, and it came in the form of a rider from the House saying obamacare is not funded.
So technically, officially, they would say a dirtied up CR came from the House, and they will send it back to them with the dirt taken out.
And they would say, as Boehner did, that the House again won’t send a clean one back to dingy. It will contain something in addition to a complete funding of the government.
It gets too much into the weeds.
But my view of it is more practical than theirs. BC I’m not of the DC elite, I’m one of the little people.
