He is NOT lying. He voted for cloture which made it posdible today to vote on the House Bill. 41 GOP votes were needed to avoid cloture.

Therefore Graham’s vote today is essentially meaningless.

I'm so confused. The house passed a Continuing Resolution which will fund gov’t minus ACA. In order for this to be passed by the Senate, would not the Senate have to end debate (cloture) else they could not vote on it? Right?

If cloture failed there could be no vote at all? And, then, no funding of any of government?

My head is hurting. Why is the vote to have ended debate bad?

He voted for it before he voted against it. Oh, wasn’t that John F-——g Kerry?

What I meant is if he had voted NO on cloture in the first place along with all Republicans in the Senate it wouldn’t have come to the vote he can NOW claim he cast against obamacare. Any vote these guys cast after the cloture vote is meaningless- to me.
