Let Obama veto it and take the heat!
That's because the RATic machine TELLS them how to vote.
I think so too. The problem will be getting 2/3 of the House.
Shades of ANWAR. I do not know how with both chambers and a GOP president we were never able to make it work out, like it was a conspiracy to keep Saudi oil high.
almost as if it were scripted by Harry Reid
how many of those will still vote YEA next year?
It certainly shows that, despite all the whining and griping and faux anger over the GOP’s use of the filibuster, Dems are perfectly fine with using it in support of THEIR pet causes and agenda.
and how many Democrats would vote YEA but vote NAY on a vote to override their Dear Leader’s veto?
Their rules and demands never apply to them. Never.
No, this is BS. Fails-by-one-vote means Senators are allowed to vote against one-by-one until the last vote is needed.
Assuming all 54 Republicans vote yes, I count only 9 Democrats to vote yes who will be there next session. And some of them might hesitate over-riding a veto. So, it looks like 63 votes at most for an over-ride.
Vote on it next year again. These morons. I want to rant and rage and swear, but I’m not going to.
These people that voted to block it must be either the dumbest, or the most evil people on Earth.
EARTH TO MORONS, EARTH TO MORONS, THIS WOULD CREATE MANY JOBS, DRIVE THE PRICE OF OIL DOWN, WHICH WILL IN TURN DRIVE COMMODITIES DOWN, DRIVING DOWN THE COST OF LIVING DOWN. IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ironic considering Saudis are glutting market now to discourage us fracking our now buttload reserves
Either way...cheap energy
So close. Damn it. However. I can wait. Obama is pretty screwed come next year. Hahahahahahaha. You get what you vote for Obama, and you voted to try to screw the American people.
We’re gonna get the last laugh on these idiots.
Think it’s possible that many “Republicans” are placed in the Senate and House by socialist alinsky turds just to cause dissent?
Because it seems like there are agents of the enemy within the ranks.
Would you be surprised if there were?
I can’t think of a good reason that there wouldn’t be.
If common sense is applied, then it’s easy to come to the conclusion that there are.
If those are her grandkids, good for her!! PLYS she's got a BLACK ONE!!! HILLARY better talk to Chelsea ASAP!!!
This vote was all Kabuki. The Dems gave her the image as a Dem fighting for her constituents and the seeming “almost win” who fought valiantly. It cost them nothing.
The vote total was already known way before the actual vote.
But that will force the issue, and get him to veto a bipartisan effort. I can’t wait for Mitch and company to heat things up after the first...
She could have gotten a unanimous vote to end cloture and another unanimous vote for the pipeline and she still will lose her runoff.
Yep. It’s a total farce; never at any time was there a chance this was going to be allowed to pass by Reid. It is simply all he had to give Landrieu. She’s just a dumb true believer.
Yet another cynical abuse perpetrated by lawyers and other political riff-raff.
