Who are the four senators who did not vote?

Dorgan, Conrad and the woman from MO are toast in 2012.

This vote nearly gave me a heart attack. This is HUGE!!

HUAH! This was the biggest Lame Duck Power Grab. I’m very grateful this one went down. The next largest one is the Land Grab. Let’s get rallied up for that one. The Omnibus is already dead, and DADT will pass. They will be 1 or 2 for 4.

Is there time to re-cycle this POS into something more limited that might get the votes? I hope not.
But does this clear the calendar for more time to swing the DADT and START?

2 down, 1 to go.

It is frightening that, given the overwhelming majority of Americans against any form of AMNESTY and rewards for illegal entry into this country, this vote was as close as it is.

These politicians are not just MIS-representatives, they are borderline traitors.

Now that illegal kids have no future in the US..it is time to deport them and their families. South of the border down Mexico way. Also those Dean’s list kids who are fluent in English should be a big plus for their economy.

Donate to NUMBERS USA as a show of appreciation. I’m going to for the first time today. This organization has provided an integral grassroots campaign against amnesty in DC.

Lugar (IN), Murkowski (AK) and Bennett (UT)

Lugar must go. Bet he's retiring. Bennett must go. Murkowski's got 6 years and then I will personally work for her defeat.

Murkowski should flip to Democrat just to formalize the process.

The people of Nevada decided that they preferred a person with no morals or values or love of the country.
