I guess I should have said “moron-torium.”
Instead, a more limited bill, eh? Meaning more limits on business, on energy supplies, and by definition on personal liberty. Thanks neverdem.

Pending the outcome in Novmber, this bill and amnesty could come back in January.
Sooner than that, I'm afraid. They'll both be rammed through during November's lame-duck session.
Dayum, maggief! That’s ine heck of a list!
I mean, look at the names! The Dalai Lama?!?
” Okay - how about Scott Brown? Or Snowe? Or Collins? Or Graham? Or McCain (who looks like he’s going to win re-election)? “
Great question! Let’s hear a truthful answer from anyone with the guts to try ;-)

5 RINO votes when they probably need 15. How do you think the Senate rats went from 45 in the Senate before the 2006 ekection to 60 before Ted Kennedy croaked? They didn't run moonbats, with the exception of Al Franken. They ran fiscal conservatives that were pro Second Amendment and pro-life where needed to win. There's a bunch of rat senators who represent oil, gas and coal states.
It's quite unlikely, IMHO. Healthcare and a Finance Reform bill that did nothing to reform Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, despite being 2300 plus unread pages, has them crapping in their pants. They took over Congress pretending to be moderates starting in 2006.
