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.

We know how Voinovich will vote.

I used to listen to talk radio a lot but I only listen to sports talk radio now. I cannot take the callers.

It would not be wise for Sen Clinton to speak. Nor Sen Obama. So they at least have that much sense.

I would bet he will vote for cloture and against the bill.

[Miss Didi]

Obama in the Chair? Mrs. Clinton is not going to like that. By the way, why haven’t we heard her lovely voice speak on this issue?

[nicmarlo]

My skin was crawling as I listened to him.

[George W. Bush]

Ok. Now I’m confused. We don’t want cloture?

NO!! If cloture passes with 60 votes, they'll have a cakewalk to get 50 votes for final passage in the Senate before sending it to the House. And the of the sixty votes for cloture, they can let 10 vote against the final if they're too afraid of their own voters to vote yes on the final bill.

I’m going to the store for a bit.

I don’t want to hear this until it’s over.

Hope for the best.

WE did

[sauropod]

That was some interview yesterday, wasn’t it?

[BohDaThone]

Have you noticed how many restaurants, esp. McDonald’s, now have Spanish versions of everything? Where are the Asian versions? Swahili versions?

Gee, didja ever see english on a menu in Paris? Rome? Singapore? I have.

[Greg F]

I love the musical “1776”

I’m betting that Reid is able to get some of the Democrat “No” votes from Tuesday to switch. This is going to be ugly . . .

[American Quilter]

Is this just a roll call?

[TornadoAlley3]

The Repubicans better all vote, no not voting on this.

[ken5050]

No..it’s a vote to approve a new US Post Office for Searchlight, Nevada..

[Fudd Fan]

Thank you! Nice to know there are still sane people on FR.

[Sacajaweau]

Seems she never says anything until after everything is settled....and someone tells her what to say...because if she speaks off the cuff...she ALMOST ALWAYS puts her foot in her mouth...Hence..The gas station JOKE, the PLANTATION faux pas, the f’n Jew comment..

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Now Mickelson (radio talk show host) even talking about Harkin stating of his reservations about this bill. No doubt about it, this is a signal he’s running for reelection and he’s afraid of the voters.
