LIVE Thread: Senate cloture vote. Guess the number of RINOs that vote to support "Dingy" Harry
C-span 2

Posted on 09/27/2013 6:59:01 AM PDT by ken5050

Senate just came into session. Happily, Dingy Harry is sparing us any commentary early on this morning, as is McConnell. Debate goes until 12:10, at which time there is 30 minutes reserved for majority and minority leaders , then the vote. Will there be any more GOP intramural fireworks on the senate floor?

my understanding is this (anyone correct me if I am wrong)

the cloture vote is needed to end debate on the CR...once debate is ended no more amendments can be offered and Harry Reid can then strip the language to defund obamacare. In addition voting for cloture means that Harry only needs 51 votes to pass the CR ( without the defunding portion) instead of 2/3.

The time is soon coming that we will have to do as our fore-fathers did, pledge our lives, fortunes and sacred honor.

They've already taken two out of three. Fortunately the third one's not up for grabs.

That is how I felt. We keep putting up RINOS and then wonder why they don’t win or do anything?

I’m a little slow, but I never understood cloture and how it works and how it affects me..

We wanted to hold the line here with 41 votes so that Reid could not go forward with his plan to allow ONLY ONE amendment to the House-passed Continuing Resolution Bill.

The "moderate" Republicans have a different "strategy", so they are voting to move on to Reid's amendment. Reid will strip the House bill of the Obamacare defunding and then the Senate will vote on the bill, with only simple majority needed for passage. The bill will then go back to the House.

The House will then either attempt to put the language back in or will vote on the Senate amended bill.

Alternatively, there are rumors circulating that Boehner will produce another bill which raises the debt ceiling with the condition of a one year delay in Obamacare.

And they wonder why the People, on occasion, feel the need to turn to violent means to gain political objectives.

As she announced Johnson’s vote, there was a burst of cackling laughter heard. What was that all about?!

I called RINO Roy Blunt’s DC office yesterday. What jerks! the gal that answered the phone was very very arrogant & quite a twit to me. She was very adamant that ole get-along Roy was going to vote FOR/along with dirty Harry. As I’d explained to her ‘why he should vote NO’, she was quite a hag. As for the RINO’s I think some of them either just don’t get it or just don’t care at all.. I even said, ‘he’s SUPPOSED to be there for US; to vote what WE wish him to vote’. She basically laughed me down & talked over me the whole time. I was one the phone with her for quite awhile. I even said to her, ‘NO MORE $$ to Blunt for re-election & would do my best to keep him from being re-elected’. She talked over me on that one too. After hanging up, I was completely blown away & ticked at the sheer audacity. Today, I shared w/RUSH on an email to let him know as well. Anyone out there: BLAST BLUNT!
