Which Republicans voted today to support Reid's 'Class Warfare' vote...

Senate.gov ^ | July 11, 2011 | The Bronze Titan

[The Bronze Titan]

Bill - S. 1323:

"Mr. REID introduced the following bill; which was read twice and ordered to be placed on the calendar"

"Sense of the Senate- It is the sense of the Senate that any agreement to reduce the budget deficit should require
that those earning $1,000,000 or more per year make a more meaningful contribution to the deficit reduction effort."

The Final Vote was 69-27 in favor.

17 "Republicans" joined Reid in support of his Class War ideology propaganda game (a vote which carries not weight).
24 Republicans wanted no part of this (along with 1 Dem)

So who are these Republicans that sided with Reid on his pet 'declaration' called "Sense of the Senate Vote"???...

Alexander (R-TN)
Brown (R-MA)

Here's what Jim Demint had to say about this REID's "Sense of the Senate" voting shenanigans:

-"Sen. Reid's "Sense of the Senate" resolution (S. 1323),
currently on the Senate floor, contains no actual policy.
It notes several class-warfare non-sequiturs, and then calls
on Americans making more than $1 million per year "to make
a more meaningful contribution to the deficit reduction effort."
-Jim DeMint

There’s your RINO list. I hope the US wakes up. It may be too late.

[ChildOfThe60s]

I’m surprised that Mitch voted Yes. He’s been speaking out strongly against tax increases. I’m not sure what he was thinking with that Yes vote.

Mitch "Obama's Bitch" McConnell? Kentucky's first female Senator?

[SunkenCiv]

Rand Paul’s in the Senate. Where’s his name?

[abigailsmybaby]

Boy am I disappointed to see Sessions name on the “Yea” list. I’m not from Alabama but he’s always been one of my favorite congresscritters.

[KingNo155]

Start taxing all the tax exempt non profits there are billions floating around and most are liberal

[Joann37]

He voted “no” (see post 13, 7th from the bottom).

[GeronL]

The Senate has always been unreliable

[Theodore R.]

Hutchison is not on any of the lists.

[KingNo155]

Should be a special tax on those who serve in elected offices and it should raise with every year served by the official

[Lou L]

Here’s the “NAY” list again (my bad on Lugar error)

No problem at all. I'm just glad that ONE of our Republican senators voted sensibly on this silly vote.

[Theodore R.]

The TN Twins just can’t give up on liberalism: neither can their constituents give up on them. So does that mean Republican primary voters of TN are dumb as those in NC, SC, and AZ?

[Theodore R.]

Oops, it likes like Ms. Bailey voted her true beliefs on this one and didn’t window dress.

[Theodore R.]

Looking over this list of senators, I swear it looks just like the 2009 list. Or the 2007 list. The American people have fooled themselves again.

[CharlyFord]

We now have “more meaningful contribution” to go along with “share the pain’ and ‘fair share’. All these mean the same thing. “From each according to ability”. These are word games being played by our Marxist, Communist leaders.

[socialism_stinX]

I think I know what the Republicans are doing who voted Yes. They view this meaningless resolution as mere gamesmanship by Harry Reid. So they're playing a game in response to Harry's game: they're voting Yes on the resolution just because voting No doesn't look good in MSM news reports, but later on they're going to vote No on any actual bills to increase tax rates.

In effect, they're giving Harry the finger and telling him they're not going to fall into his media trap by voting No on this resolution. But watch what happens from here--they will vote against actual tax increases. So I wouldn't make too much out of this vote...it's all a game in the senate.

[andyk]

No problem, thanks for the post. I hadn’t heard of this ridiculous vote.

[AeWingnut]

I’ll be surprised if they actually vote “No” Many of them are constantly on the wrong side of every issue

[abigailsmybaby]

It sure looks like it doesn’t it?

[Grammy]

"The TN Twins just can’t give up on liberalism: neither can their constituents give up on them. So does that mean Republican primary voters of TN are dumb as those in NC, SC, and AZ?"

No, what it means is that 2 conservatives split a larger vote than the one liberal did. The only reason I voted for Alexander last time was Obama. I was hoping he wouldn't have a super majority. Never again.

Ever.
