This morning, the Senate meets at 9:30 for a cloture vote on the Patriot Act Reauthorization Bill. Dems have vowed to filabuster it, ( though it's not clear if all will support the filabuster) joined by 4 Republicans. Should be fireworks on the floor..President Bush yesterday firmly called upon the Senate to support the Patriot Act, and many Republicans can't believe the Dems would be stupid enough to do this. So follow along...
Well he's a Representative, but mine own object of scorn is Mike Castle of Delaware. He's head of the Main Street Republicans....funded by Soros, really a RINO.
I am arranging my own protest of this traitor who voted against ANWR.
Looks like they're going to filibuster, am I right?
The partisanship has become more than annoying, it has become dangerous.
Seriously, I must be coming unwrapped. Merely listening to the names in the roll call makes me want to shoot my TV!
Sarbanes...
Schumer....
Mikulski...
Kennedy...
Landrieu...
Clinton...
Obama...
Reid...
AAAARGH!
Haven't heard one Dem cross over. Hagel voted NO. Hagel's a pub, right?
Lieberman crossed over. Yes, Hagel calls himself a Republican.
=============
Could swear I heard him vote NO.
RUSH is blowing his top right now..
I have 39 or 40 against cloture right now.
The libs are purposely forgetting to mention that part
The NYT also forgot to metion that this article and this revelation about spying on Americans is all included in the book the author of the article is getting ready to release.
Snort. If Rockefeller knew, the whole darn planet probably did.
Don't blame him. He's saying the things I've been saying since I read this NYT article.
Sorry, Fishtalk, it seems I did not hear correctly. Apologies to all.
I just tuned in.. what the heck is going on?
Izzat right? Go to hell.
Rotgutt............LOL!
Thanks for the heads up
As for Rush's question of who is leaking ..
IMO ... SOME STAFFERS IN THE SENATE INTEL COMMITTEE .. most likely from Rockefeller's office
As for your Specter question??
I don't know .. I missed it due to a dentist appointment
Rush said that the NYT has been sitting on this story for about a year. It has all the synergy of the parade of books during the 9/11 Commission Hearings, and follows on the heels of the Iraq vote.
Looks as thought the motion fails. I have 45 NAY votes on my informal tally.
