I don’t care because I HATE Mitch-the-B*tch McConnell ANYWAY! I would not at all be surprised if he voted ‘no’ continuously on any and all Bills defunding Unplanned Parenthood.

McConnell will kill any de-funding scheme. We are still batting 1,000 with no end in sight.

No, he did not. This was a procedural cloture vote. There was no real vote to defund PP. That’s exactly what the GOP wants. They want the issue to strut and fundraise. Not an actual vote to defund PP.

He voted no so he could bring it back up later if he wanted to do so.

This is a common parliamentary procedure. Anyone who has a change of heart can ask for a re-vote.

So this isn't a bad move on Mitch's part....but I do think this should've been done as an amendment to a reconciliation bill or something that the DemonRats really wanted.

After all, this is how the Demon Rats passed Obamacare--a piece of murderous legislation.

And some people are too blinded with hopeandchange, GOP flavor, to accept that.

What a shock.

But if the voters cared, these guys wouldn’t keep winning elections. :)

Absolutely, my good FRiend.

Every (every meaning Dems included) candidate should weigh in on PP remorselessly profiteering on body parts from later term fetuses.

McConnell Boner and Obama cut a deal.

It was obvious early last year.

Lesser evil is good. Principle is bad. I learned that on a conservative website.

It’s also obvious a lot of FR posters cut their own deal. With the Devil.

McConnell needs to place a “D” after his name, its pretty clear which side he is on. What a loser!

Pretty clear what side his defenders are on as well. Which is the problem of the conservative movement. If there is one left.

I don’t know for sure, but sometimes if a cloture vote is not going to pass, the Speaker votes ‘no’ which allows him to bring it around again.

Correct--a standard tactic in the Senate.
