WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The Senate on Wednesday took the first of several procedural votes designed to enact funding for the fiscal year that starts Oct. 1. Democrats who lead the Senate are aiming to replace a House-passed funding bill with a measure that maintains money for President Barack Obama's health law and keeps the government open until Nov. 15. The Senate's Wednesday afternoon vote was on proceeding to debate the House-passed bill.

Link Says that All 100 Senators voted to procede.
What’s that about?
This cloture vote didn’t matter.
It’s the next cloture vote that needs to be stopped.
This is what Senator Coburns office told me
<...”It’s the next cloture vote that needs to be stopped”...>
Cruz wants it done Friday...but of course Reid will push it to Sat....when nobody will be watching the slight of hands.
I was wondering the SAME thing.
It’s the cloture vote on Friday or Saturday that is important.
That one is to end debate- and accept Harry’s sheme to reinsert funding for Obamacare.
This one is just to let the debate on the bill start.
PING: Hope you can see a tad better than I can, as I am still asking to “see what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.”
bttt
Someone is going to have to explain to me if the plan is to make them get 60, why we wouldn’t fight every vote?
Hmmm, didn’t see cornyn’s name there.
I am so sick of our TN senators. So very very sick.
How much you want to bet that if McConnell has the votes, Cornyn will be allowed to weasal out of his position and make it look like he is supporting Cruz by voting against Cloture?
Then he can run back to his constituents and say he stood with Cruz when the vote mattered?
Harry only needs 7 votes from them.
Every vulnerable Republican can make a fake vote for Cruz and go home and tell their constituents what wonderful fighters against Obamacare they are.
Heck, that’s the “DC way”!
I vote Ayotte and Flake as the biggest traitors in the US Senate. At least with McCain, we know where he's at....looney tunes land. JMHO
Reid is giving McConnell cover so McConnell can support Obamacare.
McConnell wants to support Obamacare. Make no mistake about it.
Do everything you can to get like minded people extremely motivated to get out the vote to $hitcan these sorry POS. In fact that goes for every RINO on this list.
Lately I
I’ve been heading for a breakdown
Every time I leave my house
Well, it feels just like a shake down
Between street sweepers and the pushers are the lawyers
Who may as well be butchered
Between the small timing hustlers who all
Seem to feed upon each other
Oh, God, why you been
Hanging out in that ol’ violin
While I’ve been waiting for you
To pull me through?
Lately I
Every time I try to lie down
While my mind just lets away
I can’t even close my eyes now
Between the big fish and ambition and the lovers
Using words as ammunition
Between the wood planks, I’ve been pacing endless
Impossible dream that I’ve been chasing
Oh, God, why you been
Hanging out in that ol’ violin
While I’ve been waiting for you
To pull me through?
Oh, God
Oh, God
Oh, God, why you been
Hanging out in that ol’ violin
While I’ve been waiting for you
To pull me through?
Oh, God
Oh, God
Oh, God
