Tonight's cloture motion has just gone down to defeat. No where near the 60 yea votes needed to cut off debate.
Harry now pontificating on Senate floor.
***traitorous business and treasonous politicians***
Bears repeating.
PS Freepers, Congratulations out there. Today is a great day. Much work ahead, though, but we pushed the envelope.
SI SE PUEDES! SI SE PUEDES! SI SE PUEDES! (We could DO it!!!)
Whoops. I used link on one more post at least. Oh well.
I hope those who look backtrack to to see this.
They will keep trying till they wear down the “bigots”
“Treason averted for now”
Exactly. We must keep up the pressure to make sure this travesty does not sneak up on us when nobody is paying attention.
I heard Paris Hilton may be going back to jail.
This “bigot” will not be worn!
Political DEADMEN WALKING
TRENT LOTT
SAXBY CHAMBLISS
JON KYL
JOHN MCCAIN
LINDSEY GRAHAM
And of course Jeorge Peso Bush (who actually has been politically dead for some time)
Remember: Cheers tonight, Calls & E-Mails tomorrow !!!!!!!!!
Not only Kyl, but what in the world is the mattter with Trent Lott?
He was falling all over himself apologizing to Kennedy, feeling sorry that Teddy had to actually suffer opposition to his bill. I’ve never heard anything like it in my life!
Pathetic!!!

Vote Summary By Senator Name By Vote Position By Home State
My theory is that a good, secure double fence can stop Paris as well.
Will they wait for the smoke to clear, get it off the front burner and Americans field of vision then sneak it in?
Sen. Edward Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat who helped negotiate the legislation, said he would continue to push for the legislation.
“This issue is not going to go away,” Kennedy said.
NEITHER ARE WE, SENATOR KENNEDY !!!!!!!!!
