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.
Look at MSNBC headline spin: “In Defeat for Bush...”
It went down in defeat and it is Bush’s baby alone now. Haha. Oh well, he deserves it. Too bad the Dems never get stuck as losers, though.
An excellent suggestion, for those who can afford it. Me, I'm going to at least buy a box of thank you notes and snail mail them in, with a little handwritten message of appreciation .
Thank you!
“Outstanding job by everyone who took the time to call, fax or email your Senators. Give yourselves a pat on the back!!!
Can I hijack your post and add something which hopefully won’t annoy people here too much, on this day of all days?
We know this bill was terribly unpopular across the board-NO ONE, conservative or liberal, seemed to like this bill . Over and over again it was stated that the threads on this bill at DU look like the FR threads on it-very angry.To the liberals, Democrats , DUers and others who put the heat on your Democratic senators especially, making them see the political costs of this bill:
You deserve thanks, and appreciation for what you helped do today.”
EVERY American who called their Senator and urged them to vote against this mostrosity deserves a thank you. Nice to see that even though there are many things people disagree on, in times of serious threat (which make no mistake this bill was) that people can pull together and kick some Senatorial hieneys!
Amen to that.
But if it does come back, in any form, we'll be here :)
Okay, they can’t learn, but at least they are observant and can see which way the wind is blowing. And they’re not so obstinate that they can’t change their actions (if not their minds) and do the right thing in the end.
My two Senators from Texas voted right all along. Senator Cornyn is our hero, a staunch protector of law and order.

They will probably try to pass pieces of it by attaching amendments to other bills. You are correct we need to keep our eyes open.
Now we need a bill to force enforcement of existing laws...shouldn't be necessary, but it looks like it is.
Poor Arbusto.
It didn’t look good how the process was so rigged. In the end, we honor the Lord for this great victory!
NO DUCKS WERE HARMED IN THE PRODUCTION OF THIS TAG-LINE
Not only Lindsay Graham.
Include Chuck Hagel in that list - regardless of whether he voted against Cloture today.

Amen!!!! (Oh, and I am sending the no votes nice handwritten thank you cards, and it looks like some freepers are thinking about flowers sent to Sessions and others. )
oh wow....that’s quite a bit.
Response time now better, too, that cloture vote is done.
“(I wish I could send them to the other few REAL heroes - we all know who they are...Vitter, DeMint, etc. - but I can’t afford it.)”
Just include their names on the card.
I think the C-SPAN viewership just went down 99.9%
Dear rogue U.S. Senate,
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW ? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although he doesn't have a clue why! That's okay, we'll take it.
