The vote to DEFUND Planned Parenthood FAILS in the Senate!
I told you Kentuckian Freepers to strike the head off of that snake. You kept telling me how bad Allison Grimes would be, and I kept telling you that a traitor was worse.
You will see the day when you wish you had voted for Allison Grimes. You did the worst thing possible. You gave a traitor even more power than he had before.
Remember folks, we must always vote Republican because having Republicans controlling the Senate would make things like saving the unborn from being killed and sold for parts impossible Because the Republicans would never allow it...
Never vote third party! Never! Otherwise Democrats will control the Senate and the White House and everything else and then they will make sure the unborn can be murdered and sold for parts...
Never vote third party...
Pro-life groups endorsed mcconnell. They said Allison Grimes was extreme....mcconnell showed himself to be extreme as well.
Kick him out. No womb for McConnell in the GOP.
He is one of the sorriest, terrible people in the Senate. He is a baby killer,in my opinion now. He sabotaged this bill.
A pox on Boehner and McConnell!
I'm just not sure people understand the motion can ONLY be presented by a member who voted with the winning side- and that is why Mitch cast that vote.
BTTT
Beats me.
I'm puzzled why people think he had no option, if he intended to keep the matter alive. First, a matter is not killed by failed cloture. Second, if he wants to have another cloture vote, he could have voted with the losing side, and filed another cloture motion. Has the same effect.
The second word of the description is accurate.
as do ALL modern day Democrats/moderate Republicans.
Oh and yes, goes without saying...all those who reject Christ
DISCLAIMER: I am not a MM supporter by any means. It sounds like he's using the rules of the Senate.
He is just one man. Until we have a massive change in the GOP/Congress, even with Cruz as POTUS, not much would change to reverse course.
Mitch McConnell ...baby killing bastard.

“Great topic for the debate on Thursday.”
And the establishment GOP purports to claim that it doesn’t understand why Donald Trump is beating their little clones like rental cars.
It’s certainly not the only thing he can do.
He can allow the amendment to be offered on other bills too.
I suppose he’ll move for reconsideration after the August break after the Dems hear from their constituencies. Perhaps more damaging news will come out too.
Absurd as absurd gets - he did this so that the bill could be brought up for a vote again per the Senate rules after Democrats blocked it from being able to passed.
Seriously, folks, we should be politically astute enough by now to know something this basic. There are things for which McConnell can be criticized - this is not one of them.
Moving for reconsideration is what he did today. That's why he switched his vote to be on the prevailing side. See the cite you posted to me.
What comes next (if ever) is calling for a vote on the motion to reconsider. The only deadline for that is adjournment sine die.
