I called my Senator from Pa. Bob Casey and learned that he voted for this. I told his staff that they will be hearing from me in 2012 when this pos comes up for re-election.

It is common procedural practice for the party leader, on a vote that’s going down to defeat, to vote on the OTHER side. By doing so, the leader preserves his right to bring the bill back for another vote later. He’s not seriously trying to appear to have opposed the bill here.

“Reid was for the Dream Act before he was against it”

Who does Harry think he is John Kerry?

No, Reid voted for this for the usual reasons: under Senate rules, he can call for another vote simply by declaring that he wants to change his vote.

He would have voted for it, if there has been 59 other votes.

But Reid is bashing Republicans for the failure of the bill(?) He must be getting advice from Obama.

Hey you idiot Congress critters! We now have the internet and can find out how you voted withing minutes! Does that scare you? Well, it really should... Things are not going to keep going as you would like them to... You and your vote is now shown to the public. We are very tired of all party voting for the same thing - regardless of their actual beliefs (and of course, we do understand your beliefs). You WILL be held accountable!

The Republicans holding firm against the DREAM Act and repeal of DADT is a direct result of Miller and O'Donnell defeating Murkowski and Castle.

The voters have sent a clear message to the RINOs and wobbly Republicans that traitors will not survive primaries and they are beginning to vote accordingly.

Even if we lose Delaware (and I think we have a chance to win it) these votes alone make it well worth the cost.
