So 60 votes to cut off debate and 51 to pass it? I think I understand it. What I don’t understand are the folks with (R)s after their names defying the will of the electorate. It is blatant “ I know you voted for me and I know you don’t want obamacare, but I’m voting for it anyway” .
I guess we need to burn up the Speaker’s phone line..
this morning Corkers office told me that Corker would be voting against funding ObamaCare...
I said before that he needs to vote NO on the cloture..
The office boy said I dont know about that vote...
I just heard Corker...NO
but its NO for the wrong vote...
Now He will boast he voted NO on funding ObamaCare...
But he didnt really...
all that is needed for this vote is a simple majority..51-49 etc
the vote for cloture needed 61 and Corker gave them his vote for that
the traitous jerk..
hes unAmerican..
my hunch is that these Rino’s think that their constituents are a fickle bunch who will forgive and forget in Nov 14 and all will be well...after all you wouldn’t vote for a dem instead of them ( assuming no victorious primary challenger)
essentially they have made a bet that they will lose more votes from a government shutdown then they will from temporarily angering a few “radical” tea party types.
they are wrong....they will lose and it will be a beautiful thing
