Bipartisan opposition to the old lady from Nevada's plan!

Well, Hussein, you asked for bipartisanship, and you got it.

There is no need to fiddle with an alternative plan until one of the two plans submitted to the Senate by the House is brought to a vote and fails.
if that happens, the other must be brought to a vote.

Only then should there be a time out to regroup and cobble up a new plan.

The
house will recess pretty soon any way. It would be a pity for them to recess and leave the senate with nothing to do but bitch and moan

That is the goal to run the clock down so they can pass something in the dead of night "where it has to be passed to know what is in it".... We've been here before.

I think one needs to find out why Scott Brown voted for it before throwing him under the bus.

Could be he knew the thing would fail and voted “yes” on it in trade for a “no” vote from someone else when the “no” will matter.

Time marches on, and the House waits for action.

The House, however, won't accept a butchered bill.

Close the hatches, we're going down.

"RINO traitor Scott Brown voted for this treasonous bill...."

Stigmatize, ostracize, bastardize, penalize, lobotomize and Tea Party-ize this cowardly pretty-boy lightweight starting now and till his next election unfortunately in 2016.

Any time rats start voting against each other, I get real suspicious

All voting GOP voted against Reid.

With the exception of Scott Brown.

Inhofe (R-OK) didn't vote.

All voting GOP voted against Reid EXCEPT Brown of MA.

Dems voting against Reid:

  1. Manchin (D-WV),
  2. Nelson (D-NE),
  3. Sanders (I-VT),
  4. Reid (D-NV) (a procedural maneuver related to later reconsideration)

Roll Call

Senate Roll Call votes - 1st Session of 112th Congress

Brown (R-MA) voted with the Dmocrats.

Manchin (D-WV); Nelson (D-NE); Reid (D-NV) voted with the Republicans. Reid's vote was to enable entering a "Motion to Reconsider" (which is proceduraly stupid, but so is he).

Inhofe (R-OK) did not vote.

This is rather reminiscent of the health care “debate.”

A Massachusetts Republican is a big government socialist. Following in the footsteps of RINO Romney.

-- There is no need to fiddle with an alternative plan until one of the two plans submitted to the Senate by the House is brought to a vote and fails. --

"Boehner 3" failed by being tabled on the substance. A motion to limit debate on bringing up CCB was defeated by being tabled, but there is an unlimited supply of "Motion to proceed to the consideration of .." thingamabobs. I don't thing the establishment has any intention of bringing up CCB, just noting that it could, and not violate parliamentary procedure.

Wait! You're forgetting Hussein's "Secret Plan" - assume dictatorial powers under the guise of the 14th Amendment and spend, spend, spend!

Take Back AMERICA!
