Last week, FNC’s Sean Hannity traveled to the San Joaquin Valley to report on the man-made drought that’s wreaking havoc on farmers in the name of saving the Delta smelt: {video}...

Earlier tonight, GOP South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint tried to turn the water back on. The Senate voted down his amendment, 61-36. Here’s the roll call vote.

[kara2008]

It was basically a party line vote except for Snowe and Collins.

It appears that EVERY Demonrat voted NOT to turn the water back on. I suppose preserving the livilihood of all these farmers and the food supply for our nation is not important to these insane politicians.

Pay attention, California. YOUR TWO AIR-HEADED SENATORS are saying that little fishies are more important than you.

[NormsRevenge]

let them all eat dirt

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Good gawd.

Well, there ya’ have it. Humans are expendable according to Democrats. Fish are tops.

[TheZMan]

All this over a freaking guppy.

[Vaquero]

What a bunch of stupid $h!ts....

.....this is pro Dhimmicrat, Obama luvin California....

they will reap what they sow, mark my words.....

[NormsRevenge]

smelt this one coming.

[RC2]

I say again......If farmers in California what the rest of the Nations attention about this subject.....stop shipping food out of the State. Then sit back and wait until other states go hungry.

[The Comedian]

This was the Democrat Vote for Famine.

Let's see, what other governments in recent history used engineered famine to control the populace? Hmmm...

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[youngidiot]

Sick. If I had a dry farm down there I’d try to figure out a way to kill all the fish so it wouldn’t be an issue anymore.

[Enigo54]

bwhahahahahahah!!!

[La Lydia]

Verrah confusing. “Cali” is a city in Colombia, and I couldn’t figure out why the Senate would be involved.

[montag813]

Snowe and Collins are evil.

[lapsus calami]

 

 

The enemy has spoken (voted).

 

 

[albie]

Collins and Snowe the only two “R’s” in the “yea” category. No surprise.

[PzLdr]

Put ‘em in a photo with Hillary, and you have the opening for a new production of “Macbeth”.

[grobdriver]

Too bad them Californians aren't armed.

They could just go down to where the valves are, eject the company pukes working there, and turn the water back on.

What would John Wayne do?

[abigailsmybaby]

My husband had an interesting thought about this debacle...Pelosi’s old man is in real estate (how many other polits are in real estate?). Just think of how cheaply they could buy all this land if they starve the farmers into having to sell.

[PubliusMM]

Looks like both Voinovich and (Sherrod) Brown voted to table the amendment. Lousy libtard gasbags... Pathetic.

[GoldenPup]

I wonder how long it is going to take for these “farmers” to organize, arm themselves, and turn on their own water? All it takes is a leader with some cajones.
