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.

[Chickensoup]

“Oh! now Bush is saying that if this doesn’t pass that there will be NO money for the fence.”

We’ll build our own darned fence.

You didn’t expect Landrieu to vote no?

Landrieu is up for re-election next year and many of her constituents are no longer in the state (remember Katrina). She can ill-afford to tick off too many LA’ans. Also, she could neither afford to oppose Vitter’s position.

Brownback - changed to no?????

[Dog]

THE PEOPLE WON!!!!!

[George W. Bush]

Lugar, YES. Bayh, I'm pretty sure I heard him read as NO.

Snowe just voted AYE.

Just read: BROWNBACK NO!! Did he switch? Sounds like.

[anglian]

Brownback,- NO

[HonestConservative]

Amen. Thank you Lord and God Bless Free Republic.

[puroresu]

Deceased Senator Thomas from Wyoming has been replaced by appointed Senator Barrasso (a good conservative pubbie).

[Frobenius]

CLOTURE FAILED!

[berstbubble]

Of all of Bush’s failures- this one is my favorite.

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She’s gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let’s open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong’ the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!
