CSPAN | 6/7/07 | Freespirited

Posted on 06/07/2007 6:01:39 PM PDT by freespirited

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.

Thank you, even with the Bush moniker. Not too pleased with him ‘bout now.

I know. I'm such a bonehead, what was I thinking trying to ram this horrible thing through? Someone should just kick me. Really. I only hope I've come to my senses finally.

Hopefully, we’ll all remember to call and thank the good guys and “Neer - Neer - Neer”, the creeps who tried to destroy our country!

Corker and Alexander are my Senators too. I am awfully proud of them tonight. But getting back to Bush, my gut feeling is that he was the person we thought he was at first. I think something happened in his second term to change him drastically. Its almost like he has made a deal with the devil. I don’t understand his unwillingness to face the fact that Iran is behind the killing of our troops and deal with it. I just don’t understand him. Where’s his logic?

He doesn’t have to run for re-election?

Actually, he’s talked about amnesty, globalization and the AU from the beginning, but I was too dense to realize he truly meant it and would try to destroy this country and ram it down our throats. Looking back over the last eight years, I feel a fool for not paying attention to what he said instead of what I wanted to hear or believe he thought. I still believe he is doing what he feels to be in the best interest of the country. I cannot (for sanity’s sake) believe that everything he has done has been solely out of self-interest. If so, that would make me a bigger fool than I could bear.

“Well, there were eight Dems who voted against closure. Very interesting.”

I found that interesting, too. I also noted that both Virginia Senators, who looked to be in favor of the Bill, both decided to vote against cloture and essentially defeat it.

Methinks their phone lines got scorched.

“I still believe that Dem radicals are in on this game and trying to destroy Republicans on this issue.”

They probably are. And ironically, the President has been assisting them.

As for “rallying” around a candidate; the days of large portions of the population blindly supporting any politician are probably over. Which is a good thing in my view.

Warner and Webb voted No both times yesterday. They're my Senators, and I also was surprised.

I called Warner's office three times in two weeks because he's a confirmed RINO and I couldn't get a straight answer from his staff. "He's against amnesty but the bill is still being debated." In other words "Maybe, maybe not."

Actually I can't recall what Webb's office said, but it was more definitively in opposition and one call was good enough.

Another reason to defeat this and all other ‘shamnesty, bills: While donating blood yesterday in the Chicago suburbs, I happened to glance at the ‘acceptable I.D.’ list. Right next to ‘drivers license’ and ‘library card’ was MATRICULAR CARD! That’s right, they are letting illegals with a MATRICULAR CARD donate blood. People with who knows what type of medical history are adding their blood to the nations blood supply. There was just a young guy as a receptionist, but I will be writing the director of our blood bank to express my feelings.

I’ve never had a Republican senator here. It took a LONG time for Alabama to have a republican senator too. This was always a yellow dog democrat state. It wasn't until Ronald Reagan that we got a Republican that I remember and that was Jeremiah Denton. (The author of "When Hell Was in Session"). Then we had one Repub. and one really bad Democrat!(Howell Heflin; a huge embarrassment) Clinton took office and another democrat was elected to take Jeremiah Denton's office, Richard SHelby. Yes, Shelby was a democrat, but he was shocked what it took to be a democrat in Washington and was one of the ones to cross party lines. Then a blessing happened and Heflin retired and we got Jeff Sessions. Sessions is one of the reasons that Alabama is not a yellow dog dem state anymore. He worked hard behind the scenes in the state RNC party and has helped make it the conservative state it is, he was our state AG when Heflin retired and the party leaders BEGGED him to run, he wasn't going to. He said no for a while, but finally gave in. He didn't want to be a Senator. I shudder to think what if he had not run and he wasn't there during this? Sorry for the history lesson, just trying to tell you to hang in there. The way the Dems. are acting your state might do the same thing. :)

You’re on the wrong site.

Why? Are we all supposed to march in lockstep?
