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?
Great idea! Let's include Lamar! and Lindsay.
A primary challenger has to apply by December 9, no one has stopped up as far as i know

Don't forget the tomatoes... :-)
Boehner does not want to do this, but his hand has been forced.
heh
Theyre voting to strip the House CR of the defunding language.
Theyll send back a CR with Obamacare funding restored. Then its Boehners move.
Does the House HAVE TO take up the Senate Bill? Can/will Boehner pull a Reid and ignore it? Can’t they fund the government by individual bills and not touch Obamacare?
I’m searching for options.
Last I heard, Johnson was refusing to say.
No, sadly, Johnson voted with the demonic-rats and white flag republicans.
I kept a list as they voted.
Cruz
Crappo
Lee
Paul
Vitter
Enzi
Mrs. Fischer
Roberts
Cochran!
Scott
Heller
Grassley
Toomey
Moran
Rubio
Shelby
Risch (spelling)
Inhoffe
Paul
Portman!
Sessions
Now all these bastards that voted for cloture are turning around and voting against the stripping of Obamacare, knowing full well that their vote is all for show.
No.
See post #604
I do, too.
This is nothing but a “show vote.”
Damn them all to Hell.
Was that first count 47 NO?
Yep.
There is also the glory of the recall.
Why not make that effort so they and future politicians get the message.
Great thread, Ken... Can’t believe how fast this one is growing!
Chicken-shits had an opportunity to put a fork in Obamacare, voted for cloture, then voted against removing the Obamacare language. Weasels.
I counted only 44 Nos
how many Ayes were there
and yes it was just for show
If they really cared those 44 would have voted No for the cloture vote...
Go to dontfundobamacare.com and donate. Look at the numbers. This is another reason some of these politicians are freaking out. Cruz, though the site I link to above, has the makings of expanding the Tea Party but more importantly he has the foundation to ORGANIZE the Tea Party. This is why Reid and others keep calling the Tea Party "anarchists" or "radicals". Because they see these numbers and they know what they mean.
Political power is all about numbers. A donation to the site above keeps the numbers supporting Cruz growing and it gives Cruz fuel to fight with.
Ted Cruz has done something astonishing. I am very impressed with him.
