It’s safer than packing a picnic lunch and heading off to Bull Run way back when.

Mary Landrieu, aka “The Louisiana Purchase” has to take more time to cover herself.
“I’m not going to be defensive about this,” she says defensively...

Thank you - I get confused with this stuff.
So, if they vote FOR cloture, we wake up tomorrow in another country cause they will then immediately vote up/down like they did in the House?

If the Repubs hold together and get Lieberman is it 40 + 1 votes to stop it?

They all talk a big game, but in the end their noses never leave obama’s butt.

I'm just keeping my eye out for the first state to secede.
Outside that, I am considering other countries. I will not submit any further to Gov't servitude.

"I remain "concerned" that the current version of the pubic option included in this bill could shift significant risks to taxpayers over time unnecessarily and I continue to work with my colleges to find a better and a bipartisan solution to this issue."

Too many RINOs will vote for this monstrosity...SCREW the base!! Kick the SOBs OUT!! Who would ever imagine our country would go over the cliff in a span of 9months...DAMN!!
To: vaudine
They also need 60 to END debate - which is where the stand is to be made ... if there indeed will be a stand.
THen if they vote for cloture to END debate it takes 51 to pass.

INCORRECTO!!!!!
The REAL cloture vote is to END debate, NOT to start debate. This vote is meaningless.
