I don’t think so Tim. Looks like 12 senators didn’t vote.

CYA — big time!

Indeed, they have the worst attributes of Dr. Smith of Lost in Space and Eddie Haskell of Leave it to Beaver. Shameless pandering, acting as if no one could see through the facade.

That capital “R” just before “Mass”... man, it just puts a smile on your face!!

I am still trying to get over that weird but happy feeling I get when I hear a news piece about how the Republican senator from Massachusetts has upset the Obama apple cart. The last time there was a Republican senator here I was 8 years old!

Well Done, Scott Brown!

Imagine that misses blanche voted NO. A political move and nothing more. I noticed kiddie mark pryor from Arkansas voted yes. It would have been NO if he was up for election. Thinks he can fool the folks. Unfortunally with his dads name he probably can.

“Zero. Congress is not in recess. “

There was a recess scheduled for Feb 15-21. Is it canceled?

Gee, apparently Scott Brown being the 41st vote emboldens Dem senators to oppose Obamaniacs.

Exactly. Even if they're in the minority, it's still up to Republicans to fight. When they fight, a few Dems always go wobbly and those vote swings make all the difference. If they just rolled over, then sympathetic Dems would figure "What's the point in opposing this nutty bill? I'll just ride the wave, keep my head in the trough, and vote with the party."
