Farmers did nothing when the government started farming regulations.

We deserve everything the government gives us these days because those before chose not to fight back.

[justsaynomore]

That’s what I just said.

[Carry_Okie]

I got through.

[Hoodat]

Yeah, sorry. I had just posted that on a duplicate thread when I saw your post. I backed up, copied the HTML, and posted it here. I simply wanted to provide the extra info on Republicans voting for cloture and the one Democrat voting against.

Glance at the roll call list, and look for the names of the three new Senators that were supposed to be sworn in immediately. You will find the names of Democrats Coons and Manchin, but the name of Republican Kirk is conspicuously absent. On principle alone, Republicans should be filibustering every single vote that comes before the Senate until they allow Kirk to be sworn in.

[MichaelCorleone]

Isn’t this why that Delaware seat was so important? Because as a replacement for Biden, the newbie would have been sworn in immediately. While not a guarantee, this person could have been a real barrier to something like this.

Right or wrong?

[MichaelCorleone]

Why isn’t Limbaugh and/or Hannity hammering away at this? We’re facing the abyss and they talk about how the dems are “losing it”. So what?

These two are clearly carrying the water for Tokyo Rove, again,it seems to me. Palin, Angle, and O’Donnell have more stones than these two ever did.

[MichaelCorleone]

“So if Republicans vote against the bill, they will be accused of hypocrisy on the earmarks thing.””

This is where the rubber meets the road for Republicans. The dems have been pulling things like this for years, and the Republicans always give in because of the negative media coverage.

However, they were elected to use the backbone and do what’s right for the country. That’s it.

Also, your three-year life on all laws is a great idea.

Let ‘em pass it and start policing back yard gardens, issuing tickets or fines. See where that gets ‘em.

[Future Useless Eater]

That is a real possibility.

Similar thing in Illinois...

“Top Illinois Democrats have said they are just following the law in waiting for all the proper paperwork to be processed. That means Kirk won’t join the Senate until November 29.”

[oprahstheantichrist]

So is Burris there voting with Durbin, or is it just and empty seat?

[Future Useless Eater]

take a guess...

why else delay the seating of Kirk?

[Outlaw Woman]

ping for later
