LOL, GOOD ONE.
You can put Sanders down as a solid “no” and Leahy a likely “no”.
Voters in this state would not support a war if the Chinese and Russians invaded from California and were already across the Mississippi.
According to his office Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker (R) stands with Senator Cruz as a NO vote
Excellent news. ‘Gotta find out where Cochran .
Russian War Ships are comming out of the Black Sea and into the Mediterranean!
If everybody calls their senators it will be easy to find out.
The no votes will tell you right away.
The yes votes will say they are undecided or we support the president or some variation of Not answering the question.
Pat Toomey from Pa?
Greg Brannon is a good one to replace Hagan.
The very same.
Never ever ever gonna drag myself out to cast a vote for Pat Toomey again. And yes, I realize that the end result of that may well be Senator Joe Sestak.
Ted Cruz is making Cornyn look bad.
Looks like he got cold feet.
When I contacted his office yesterday it sounded like a no to me. It wasn't a "no way, no how" response but she did say the senator hasn't seen any evidence that would cause him to support it.
And she already knew what I was calling about...the phone "have been ringing off the wall" she said.
Can’t wait to see how Fauxchohantas Warren votes. She’ll probably follow the lead of her fellow MA. senator, Markey, who displayed such courage by voting “present”.
Markey is trying to be the next Bernie Sanders. Sitting Bull will likely vote Yes. She has to secure Obama’s Chicago team for when she runs for chief.
Wicker had better tow the line!!! Good to hear. How many times is cochran going to vote yes?
Toomey has turned into a real disappointment.
He is just carrying on in the arlen specter tradition.
I believe that an undeclared war like this is havoc for defense contractors — there isn’t any more money, so the money for the war comes out of the existing contracts. I guess if you think you’ll be able to sell more missiles — but the missiles are already bought, and there’s no guarantee that this president would buy replacements. I think he’d like to draw down the availability so the next President can’t use the missiles to defend Israel or clean up the mess Obama has made.
