Live Thread: Senate Amnesty Debate (CRITICAL 2ND CLOTURE VOTE TODAY!) Woo hoo!! It's DEAD!!

The U.S. Senate with Free Republic Input | June 28, 2007 | truthkeeper

Here we are again my friends, hopefully for the last debate thread on this particular monstrous legislation. Proceedings are supposed to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST, with the cloture vote being taken at 10:30 a.m.

On a personal note, you've all been wonderful in your passion, vigilance, and commitment to the principles on which our country was founded. If I have to be in a foxhole, I want to be in it with you guys.

[herMANroberts]

LOL. And I’m thinking of leaving with them if they promise he won’t be on Mexican TV.

[mewzilla]

I just got off the phone. Still no vote?

Reminds me of that line from the musical 1776...

John Adams: [snatches the paper from Jefferson and takes it to Rutledge] There you are, Rutlege, you have your slavery; little good may it do you, now VOTE, damn you!

Reid getting extra time

Because they CHEAT!

[TornadoAlley3]

Tommy, Tommy.....

[Fudd Fan]

So, are you suggesting we send Jorge a thank you note ??

Where do you get THAT from? I said nothing of the sort, and I'd never use the term "Jorge." Please cite a post where I said that.

[HonestConservative]

All these all guys need to be put out to pasture and we’re just the people to get it done.

“Hope” gets us nothing.

“keep hope alive”

Now that’s funny. Tragic, but funny.

[Shelayne]

I agree with you. The alternatives were far, far worse.

[firewalk]

10 minutes for Americans...
very dirty words here...

[JeffAtlanta]

You guys realize after this bill is defeated, the Dems are gonna come back with a vengence with their stupid fairness doctrine crap against our radio stations.

The Senate republicans like Lott and McCain will be leading the charge - just in private.

[PerConPat]

Reid, too. Doesn't he sound like he's giving a high school report?

There it is...it's all emotion with these tools of the Left. Reid can't see the difference between legal and illegal; he is blinded by his compassion for all- including lawbreakers. Even a concept as clear as securing borders and then sorting through the 12 million or so to improve national security is beyond him. Thank God Sessions is trying to stop Reid from bearing his sad testimony of confusion and impotency.

Anyone know if FR traffic is up? And if so, are we in danger of crashing our own website?

[ken5050]

Reid will end by singing “Kumbaya”

[cryptotech]

Anti’s get 10 min - Pro’s get 50 min...

Fair?

[expatguy]

STFU AND VOTE!!!!

[PhiKapMom]

Obama just proved himself to be a puppet of Reid! I have my TV on mute and it is scrolling across the bottom what is being said. I cannot stand to hear Reids voice!

[kabar]

Just mentioned, “Keep hope alive.”

[montag813]

Reid is talking on and on like someone who knows he is going to be executed and doesn’t want to stop talking to let it happen. He must know the votes are not there. Let us pray this is the case. (or perhaps he is waiting for Chertoff to get another briefcase of cash to offer Ben Nelson to vote for cloture)

[msnpatriot]

Now would be a good time to turn on ‘talk radio’ for the first time.....:^)

[maica]

Is it a coincidence that Obama is in the Chair when the most TVs will be tuned to cspan?

[nicmarlo]

Obama says The Chair is allowed to give (his side) some leeway in time, although he didn’t give the NO side any leeway, did he?

AND HE'S STILL TALKING.......DOES SESSIONS GET SOME "LATITUDE" NOW? Of course he won't. This is GALLING.
