I notice there are 4 Not Voting that could go the wrong way, including McCain.
And, thanks for posting such a good list.
I looked for her name with Dems voting NO with Repubs on C-Span going on now.
Her name isn't there!
It tells you that she mut have changed her vote and it wasn't picked up by C-Span.
Sorry, but I think that's what happened.
See #283.
Final vote is NO.
Really! Crap. I’ve got to call back!
Interesting that the following Dems understand what the political consequences can be for being pro-amnesty: Baucus, Byrd, Conrad, Dorgan, Landrieu, McCaskill, Pryor, and Tester. I find it particularly interesting in the case of Pryor and the importance of Tyson in AK. 12 Reps voted for cloture and 8 Dems voted against it. Unbelievable. If all the Dems had voted for cloture, the Dream Act would have been put up for the vote.
Great quote by TomGuy.
Closer they try to an election, the better.
To paraphrase Ahhhhhnnnnold, it’ll be back. Too many possible votes to buy with an election year coming up that scares the hell out of jackasses.
I got this Email from Sen Jim Inhofe of OK....
Dear Secure Borders Now Supporter,
You have been an incredible ally in the fight against amnesty for illegal immigrants. However, the more we struggle against the liberals’ amnesty agenda, the more obvious it becomes they will not be deterred. Today, our struggle continues: Senate Democrats are once again promoting the DREAM Act.
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, this legislation would mean amnesty for 2.1 million illegal immigrants already in our country. And what’s worse, it’s being sneaked through under the radar to avoid any accountability.
In only three weeks, over 90,000 citizens joined together to support “Secure Borders Now,” helping defeat the comprehensive immigration reform bill. Now, as liberals continue trying to slip amnesty through the Senate, we must quickly spread the word to even more people to achieve victory.
Please go to www.SecureOurFutureNow.com to get informed, spread the word, and see the list of Senators who urgently need to hear from you on this issue.
Thank you for all you do to stand up for our security and sovereignty,
Jim Inhofe
This is great news - thank you God!
Words cannot express my anger at the utter foolishness of bringing up this cloture vote for amnesty of illegals. Rewarding criminal behavior encourages more criminal behavior. People cannot begin their careers in America by breaking the law - and America with an $8 trillion dollar national debt cannot afford the cost. I am dismayed at the lack of understanding of this critical issue by a majority of U.S. Senators (no wonder their job performance is in the toilet).
I along with most other Americans are in favor of legal immigration for those who are willing to learn our language, culture, and invest the time and money required to become a U.S. citizen - but not for those who willfully break on our laws, spit on our country, demand benefits, and are not willing to go through proper channels to become an American citizen.
Those who voted “Aye” for this cloture vote need to be removed from office as traitors.
May this stay at the forefront to bring about Hillary Clinton’s defeat in a BIG way.
Great! Death to the dream!
If there are no jobs or other incentives, they won’t come and the ones that are here will leave. Self-deportation works and is a helluva lot cheaper for the US taxpayer.
Where was Kennedy? Hung over? I thought this was his baby.
“Empty Lott just never learns does he.”
A total incompetent, and one of the reasons the Republicans lost Congress.
Larry bathroom cruising Craig voted for cloture. What an a**hole.
Coleman from MN, quite the RINO...
