Senate Background Checks Vote Delayed
CNN Political Ticker ^ | 4/15/13 | CNN - Ted Barrett

Posted on 04/15/2013 1:44:23 PM PDT by Bell407Pilot

Washington (CNN) – Supporters of a bipartisan compromise to expand background checks for guns sales currently don't have the 60 votes they will need to win approval of their amendment so a vote on the proposal - which was expected midweek - is unlikely before the end of the week, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, told CNN in an exclusive interview Monday.

The vote is being pushed back so Manchin and others can build support for the controversial plan.

It takes time to blackmail and bribe Senators. They will simply delay the vote until all DNC weapons are brought to bear.

It doesn't get any more corrupt than in D.C.

It is being reported at the top of the hour on Fox News that Newtown Family members were present at the Boston Marathon. Maybe they will have a come to Jesus moment?

Time will tell!

He stuck his finger in the wind, and the wind is hitting him in the face so hard, he will never win another primary and he will not stand for losing the election in 2014.

Sometimes losers like Goober begins to realize the reality of what they are attempting to do to the American people and they will not put up with it!

Another reason is the Senate does not have the votes, and even the communist are having a hard time explaining why their comrades won't vote for the background check amendment!

I just simply told Comrade Carl Levin and Comrade Debbie Stabenow since they do not support the rights of the People whom want to see the birth certificate, college transcripts, passports application Obama’s Background Application. Then I cannot support their right to vote for Gun Control.

Lets face it Gun Control is not the true issue. It is absolute total control, denial of liberty and freedom. Take away the Second amendment, a house of cards goes into effect with all other freedoms taken away particularly overnight.

It is being spun that they were the targets in order to “protest” gun control bills.

Yeah, good luck selling this turd now. We’ve got Al Queda running loose within our borders, murdering our fellow citizens at will with bombs, and somehow our security will be enhanced by making it even more difficult for law-abiding citizens to obtain firearms to protect their lives and those of their families.

Fuck you, DC!!! Why don’t you finally start cracking down on those who seek to rob us of our liberties, instead of those of us fighting to preserve our liberties?!?!

Linda Graham has already dropped his support for Manchin-Toomey.

It appears Linda can tell which way the wind is blowing. Good for her.

This is just orchestrated drama. It will pass the Senate.

With a few exceptions, the entire Senate is nothing but liberal/socialist traitors.

There is some serious blackmailing going on right now. And it is effective with those having no balls, no morals and no principles. i.e. the US Senate.
