Based upon what? The rules? Yeah, right. These are Democrats we are talking about here. They will never ever allow 41 Senators to stand in the way of passing this bill. The Cloture rule is only for stopping Republican bills - not Democrat bills.
we need people to go against these idiots who voted for this.
BTW I agree with everything you said.
I never knew westchester got a republican.
I know a couple up in chappaqua who moved there because he is a big Clinton fan, he is also a fool but that is another story.
Anyway let us keep the fight up instead of giving in. The elections coming up are form the GOP to lose by acting like they have always done.
If they get a back bone and get some decent folk up then there is a good chance we can make huge strides.
***Let’s At Least Call It What It Is: BRIBERY***

We may have to put up with a congress that has some prostitutes, but let’s at least call it what it is: Bribery.....
I remember the old days when regular folks went to jail for such things on the radio: play my record I’ll build you a pool....get caught and get fired....
But today we even practice reciprocal bribery: I give you 100 million, you throw me a fund raiser....my, my how we have grown.....
And the real sweetner in this is that these criminals use OUR money to do the bribing......Bowow and Peeelosi bribe the house and Bowow and Reid bribe the senate.....with OUR money to vote AGAINST what we want....
And they wonder if Madame President is good enough or smart enough to be a part of that......I’m amazed she cares enough about WE THE PEOPLE that she would even bother...
At least with a Whore you are getting something you want......with these people you are getting something you don’t want shoved down your throats and paid for with your own money.....
Some in Congress give prostitution a bad name, and I appologize to the hard working women in the “adult services” field for any slight I might suggest by placing some congress people on the same level....they clearly don’t raise that high.
“All this vote today does is allow the bill to be debated. There was little doubt that this vote would pass. Big deal.”
You’re correct, of course. But don’t tell that to all the panicking little boys and girls here on FR. If they realized that there’s another step, they might have to work another month or two. Oh, the intolerable work.
BTW, all you people giving up are crapping on the sacrifices made by your ancestors to give us freedom.
I also note that the good people here in South Carolina are not giving up. Most of the surrender declarations are coming from freepers in democrat states. What does that tell us?
That will come if the bill passes.
There is nothing less surprising than the American people making wrong choices. They always will, for they are underlings.
I thought Pataki was also interested in the senate ?
I remember hearing that, but not recently and not with respect to challenging Gillebrand. I heard Rick Lazio (a lightweight) and Rudy Giuliani. You would think that New York would have more contenders.
Well just surrender. Don’t fight. Get on your knees and be fitted for chains.
Are you happy now?
Debate? what, how far to shove the knife in the taxpayer?
Today’s vote is important - if they could not have gotten 60 votes it would have killed the bill. However, they still have to get sixty votes again later in order to end debate and move to a final vote. If they can’t get sixty votes to end debate then this bill will be dead. The trick that democrats could pull would be to have Moderate Senators vote to proceed to debate tonight (which it looks like they will) and then in a week or two have them vote for cloture to end debate (which will also require 60 votes) and then have them vote against final passage (which only requires a majority vote). All that to say that there will still be another vote which requires 60 votes after tonight and that vote is the one that Lieberman is likely to vote with the Republican’s on.
You can count on them passing it.
Once they pass it, they don’t give a damn. Then they will just sit back and wait for the provisions in it to take affect. Oh. they may lose a seat or two in Vongress but that is about the extent of it.
My comment to my Senator Landrieu today,” I’ve just viewed your comments today, and my only thought is that 100 million dollars is, with inflation, your 30 pieces of silver. I look forward to this being your last term when your are next up for election.”
I think either Pataki and Rudy could get rid of both of these losers.
Seriously people, the ignorance is becoming so scary on this forum. Only few people with brains are left.
No the fight is not over. They do not have 60 votes to end the debate and hence the bill in its current form is dead.
Kick them all out of there!!!! Not damn good one in the bunch!!! they work for us!!!! maybe they will listen ...when we kick them out!!!
Is this the same Reid who has been holding meetings behind closed doors locking out Republicans? That Reid?
