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

Posted on 06/28/2007 6:25:57 AM PDT by 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.

After this is over, we need to give out a Most Condescending Senator Award.

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

-- Samuel Adams

This BILL IS DEAD !

Unless a “no” has been bought to turn to “yes.” Not sure I’d want that firestorm coming down on me as a politician, but there are some Dems that voted “no” on cloture on Tuesday.

Feinstein is just pleading with everyone to pass cloture so that we will move on to the remaining amendments. Yeah right, she just wants to make it to the majority vote of 51!

Didn't Voin acknowledge on Hannity last night that he, Voin, hadn't even read the darn thing yet?

Yep, a remarkable display of a bloviating sock puppet, even by Senate standards.

That's not good - I'm sure that almost all of those 6-8 "maybes" are just holding out for more pork.

Those expletives-deleted are bribing each other with OUR FREAKING MONEY...

If this bill does die you and countless others of us have achieved something pretty remarkable. This was a direct coup attempt by the Establishment to take all power on this issue away from the people. The people rose up and have a chance of stopping them in their dirty little tracks.

But we should know this: Hell hath no fury like a Senate scorned. The Fairness Doctrine will be pushed through now with some GOP support. We're not supposed to speak up you know and we must be quieted...

No idea...another traitor on now - Kyl. The pro-America senators are being denied floor time by the pro-Mexico traitors.

The dealmakers are working hard on Thad Cochran (R., Miss.) to switch from no to yes to offset the five defectors.

Time to burn up Cochran's phone lines!!!!!

Not so fast. NRO saying leadership is pounding Thad Cochran to change his vote to offset the defectors.

He said it was part of a strategy. If he votes right today you must take him at his word.
