McCaskill wants to keep her job. She voted against. k.B. Hutchinson proved she was the open borders RINO I suspected she was, by voting for it since she’s announced she will not run again.

Specter surprised me though with his vote.

I thank the Democrats and Republicans that voted this down. Even McCain’s puppet who for ONCE did something useful..but only because he’s up for re-election in South carolina where they dislike him right now. The rest? Screw you. Including you Coleman. the ONE issue most of the country, even liberals, agree with and you’d be asafe supporting in a liberal state where you’re up for re-election and you again support amnesty. I have NO kind words for you.

Yea. If we look to a few months ago didn’t Dinghy Harry bring the Amnesty Bill back up the same day for a second cloture vote or some kind of a re-count of the initial cloture vote?

I’m sorry for asking this again, because I know the vote isn’t clear yet, but does anyone know how Senator Craig voted for sure?

C-span just had a graphic that said, “Senate fails to move the Immigration Bill foward 52-44 (60 Aye votes needed)”.

?

The New Media has humiliated Dingy Harry and thwarted the Democrats - AGAIN! Liberalism cannot advance without a monopoly. As it is, the year is almost over and the Democrats have failed to destroy America.

From the website http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/vote_menu_110_1.htm now.... Cloture motion rejected. So, that’s not a good sign.

Right?

According to Michelle Malkin:

"Larry Wide Stance Craig votes with the open-borders lobby."

Democrat Incompetence Is A Beautiful Thing. Thanks, Dingy Harry, for reminding us all how throughly inept you are. You lead the Gang That Can't Win A Vote.

She voted AYE today. It means for cloture, supporting the bill.

Sorry I couldn’t get back to you earlier.

Sessions up now talking about the DREAM Act

“I hope this strong vote sends a message ...the DREAM Act we just rejected would give at least 1.3 milion illegal aliens benefits...a financial bonus

Have to have sanctions, punishments ..we start rewarding them with benefits..should not be in a better postition than legal residents...

Stop rewarding illegal immigration...

Even Pres Bush ...opposed this bill

No degree required...they could bring their family members...

Brought here as children...not a clear picture....

Stop providing benefits to people here illegally...

You send a message thast if you can just get into America illegally you get rewarded in front of those who are waiting to enter legally...

You not suppose to be able to get in stat tuition...

do we have the will to enforce our immigration laws

Further erode an already weak system..

Not the right way to go..sends wrong message

you will be at the head of the line and be rewarded for it..

It’s a great sign. It was DEFEATED, PERIOD. They have to bring it up again like the defeat of the conprehnsive bill a few months earlier.

I'm not surprised. We need to clean out the Open Borders scum from the GOP next year. That is far more important than regaining the Senate majority.

Man, I think I got it now. It’s a good thing that Cloture was defeated. Whew. This is so confusing to me.

Anyway, good news. Nomination confirmed for a solidly conservative judge, AND, defeat once again for the Dims. Woo hoo!
