Keep up the reports. I want to see if Lama Alexander (Rino-TN) switches to voting NO on cloture. Right now he has stated that he will vote YES on cloture and NO on the bill. Complete hypocrisy!!!

So Katrina might have been an inside job!

It was – the Corps of Engineers admitted it. ;-)

[...] Just saw over at Hot Air.com that Senator McCaskill is joining the ranks of Senators deciding to save the careers by voting against cloture on the McCain-Kennedy-Specter kill the country amnesty bill. Allah over there has the video here. [...]

So NOW we find out–Landrieu is a racist!! So Katrina might have been an inside job! Call the folks in the New Panther Party–this’ll make the Duke case look like one huge waste of time!!

This just keeps getting better and better. I can’t believe I’m actually thankful to Dems…but boy, am I.

also those states have recall initiatives as well.

We have one, technically, but as a practical matter it’s impossible. Believe me, I know – I worked my keister off trying to recall Aaron Broussard (remember him on Meet The Press?) and Gov. Blanco. Landreiu’s worried about re-election, because her family dynasty is very shaky this generation. Her brother (Lt. Gov.) is fixing to be out of work – if she loses her Senate seat they’ll have to get real jobs for the first time in their lives. Still, she’s bought some loyalty from me for holding the line on this bill.

Question – how many people in states with blue dogs will be crossing party lines as a thank you if this bill dies?

Webb, MaCaskill, Landrieu are voting they way they are is due to the fact that they won their seats in conservative states by narrow margins – also those states have recall initiatives as well.

My current state of residence, Misery… I mean Missouri… Misery since that liar Claire McCaskill… she ran on supporting the troops and not touching our guns… and fixing the VA… she’s lied about two so far… and just got caught up in the Reed Scandal as it was convenient… I’m there is no real work there on her part… oh yeah, and built herself a new office in downtown Springfield…

and my favorite… voted against funding our troops…

thanks Farm Girl Claire… wouldn’t your daddy be proud? oh BTW hows that whole Tax Evasion, Dead Sr. Citizens in your husband’s state funded nursing homes thing going?

oh this bitch sets me lose… it’s one thing to say your against us, but to say your with us and then stab us in the back… pure evil…

So far, of all the senators, only Ms. McCaskill explains what really needs to be done:

1. “Shut down the magnet”, and
2. “Follow the law and follow the money”

Christ…. “follow the money” is the last thing I want to hear…

This is now a completely Republican debacle. The Cape Cod Orca will get a free pass on this one.

Way to go Lott, Graham, McCain.

Kay Bailey Hutchinson is on the “no” train too — sure is nice to see Senators actually representing the majority in this.

I just tried to call senator Richard Burr’s office in D.C., but the voicemail is full. I called his Winston-Salem, NC office and was able to leave a message. I will definitely call back tomorrow and insist as a new NC voter he vote against cloture. (I feel so dirty having voted for Mr. Grahamnesty when I lived in SC).

McCaskill is from Missouri and has had problems in the past keeping her campaign promises. IMO, ethics has been a huge problem for her also. She promised she was for secure borders and such when she ran and apparently, she is reading the people of Missouri correctly and knows if she isn’t tough on illegal immigration, she will be a one term senator. McCaskill is as liberal as they come. She is playing this smart. Whether she sticks to her promises or ends up sliding up to Kennedy is yet to be seen.

McCaskill, D-Mo., Will Vote Against Cloture…

And she just got elected, so she could roll the dice and figure no one’s going to care in five years about this. But apparently she decided that six years wouldn’t be enough to repair the damage from this vote…….

Yes on sarcasm. Maybe you should have tried the Navy \more sarcasm

I’m so glad she said amnesty will pad profits for big business. It’s not for the sake of humanitarian interest, Bush, give me a break! No Repub in his/her right mind, and frankly few Dems, could vote for this for any other reason than to get some dough into the pockets of their rich buddies.

She voted ‘no’ last time too, as well as Kit Bond, our state Republican.

She has been a real pleasant surprise in all this. I’ll add Webb and Landrieu to that as well.

SouthernGent on June 21, 2007 at 8:18 PM

Don’t give Mary “Bring Out Your Dead” Landrieu too much credit. Since Katrina, New Orleans (a Dem stronghold, whose bio-challenged populace is largely responsible for her job) has had an influx of over 30,000 illegals. ERs are swamped, the schools suck more than ever, and there’s an epidemic of DWI – that, in a city with drive through daiquiri shops… she pretty much has to vote against it. People here are that mad, and much of her old base is now in Atlanta and Houston.

Wade — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 00:48:50 +0000

Webb is still a sick person though. Anyone who basically says women join the Navy to bag cute sailors will never be okay with me.

hollygolightly on June 21, 2007 at 8:44 PM

We all know that is not true, that is why women go to college not join the navy.

Who the heck thinks this is a GOOD bill?

Aside from the obvious, that is.
