The Senate just failed to pass a bill...
(snip)
One Republican, Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV), voted with Democrats against the bill.
This makes no sense.
If only one R did not vote for it, how did it not pass?
No cloture. No vote.
This was the plan all along. They will piss and moan a bit and then say they can’t shut down DHS, why national security is at stake! Chamber of Crony Fascism gets its way, obama gets his way and the GOPE Republican Party gets its way and we get a new slave class and regulated to permanent minority status and become a third world crap hole.
Tell me again all you FR Republican boot-lickers how your saviors are working out for you. Did you enjoy getting lied to and kicked in the nuts-—again.
They were voting on whether to vote on it. You need 60 to stop a filibuster. Not that there’s a real filibuster anymore, it’s just 60 votes to bring it up for a vote. Unless you are Harry Reid, then you use the nuclear option. But of course the pubs would never do that to their “friends” across the isle.
If only one R did not vote for it, how did it not pass?"

Your question is spot on. That was my immediate thought also.
