To be more specific, theyre voting on the bill plus the Corker/Hoeven amendment. My prediction: 72 yes votes, despite the phony border-security triggers and despite the fact that the bill now reeks of Cornhusker Kickback-style buyoffs to bring fencesitting Republicans on board. No matter. Schumers goal was 70 and I expect hell get it, which will help him with his exciting new therell be mass demonstrations if the House doesnt pass this thing talking point.
Did you know that amnesty for illegals is a civil rights issue? You do now:
This has the potential of becoming the next major civil rights movement. I could envision in the late summer or early fall if Boehner tries to bottle the bill up or put something in without a path to citizenship if theres no path to citizenship, theres not a bill but if he tries to bottle it up or do things like that, I could see a million people on the Mall in Washington, Schumer said on CNNs State of the Union.
Schumer said business leaders, evangelical leaders and CEOs of high tech companies would join the public call for action by the House on immigration.
Hes kidding himself if he thinks that summer will bring pressure on the House to pass, rather than kill, the bill, but never mind that......

StandWithAZ 6:38pm via Twitter Sen. Dan Coats (R-IN) arrives for #immigration test vote. He votes no. Tally now 66-26. 8 outstanding senators.
To me it looks like one Dem did not vote or abstained. I don't know which one.
and also Ayotte surprised me. She lied and said she was a conservative and the tea party bought her lies(much like Rubio did).
Ayotte and Rubio 2 traitors against America and against freedom
cochran is a full blown progressive that supports federal funds for planned parenthood and has voted for them and he is a leftard obama lover. He was supposed to retire but is running again. He lives in Orange Beach, Alabama and never stays in his hometown. TEA Party activists in his hometown already have people lined up to run truthful attack ads against him etc. He has got to go.
LLS
You’re right. The big GOPe doners are the primary funders however RNC & NRSC still need to hear from us. We vote, and it won’t be for GOPe candidates. We also donate, and it won’t go to either of those two organizations.
It didn’t help that Jan Brewer said today “This Gang of Eight bill is a victory for Arizona.” She later said she meant only the border enforcement part, but horrible timing.
I can imgine McCain or Flake trying to sell her: “Listen, baby, we respect your strong stance on “enforcement first” and now this amendment will make sure it gets done YOUR way. And you will get all the credit!”

Wolves in sheep’s clothing.

The Stupid Party strikes again.
Speaking of Big Donor $$$...the US Chamber of Commerce has to be thrilled with today’s outcome.
Seems to be a lot of that lately. The Tea Party got scammed.
Toomey
Rubio
Ayotte
Flake...
I'm sure there's more, I'm just too disgusted to dig any further.
May they all BURN IN HELL!
Good point. Profits over principle.
I called Cornyn’s office today and only got voice mail but basically told him the same thing..we are watching how he votes and won’t be happy if he votes for anything connected to this bill S744. It is NOT reform....it is revenge!
They are NOT the stupid party. They know exactly what they are doing to screw you over.
Stupid people would randomly get it right occasionally.
Indeed. They are big proponents of slave labor.
I’ve left messages to all republicans and mostly to Rubio to all his offices including DC, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tallahassee etc.
Not once has I talked to anyone nor did my wife who did the same and good for you for calling but how many on here do not call, mail and then post on here moaning about the country.
Everyone call
The Tea Party got scammed.

How true and very apparent by now. The GOPe has waged a silent war on the Tea Party and they’ve been largely successful in marginalizing them.
I am surprised, pleasantley, that Burr voted no. I had just given up on him last week. I will proceed very cautiously forward with him.
They bought off Murkowski with Visa Pork for Alaska
I fell for both their lies when they ran. I was for either being president. Not Anymore . I SAW their ACTIONS as they voted to destroy America and make it a socialist state. they are traitors against America and against freedom.what re they thinking. they put themselves out as tea party candidates and then won with our support now they put the knife in the back of Americans.
May their names live in infamy
. crushed here now. And I thought Ayotte was a pretty and charismatic woman . now I just see her as a villain
They are stupid in the sense that they fall for the Dem lies every time. But you make a valid point; they are also cunning deceievers who, for example, screwed the Tea Party over big time. The GOPe is not to be trusted.
