Re: More Than 20 Republican Senators Vote For Cloture On Comprehensive Immigration Reform (UPDATED: Roll Call added)

Do you understand that if the first cloture vote had failed, the bill likely would have been tabled at that point?

Look, you got caught in a mistake, man up and admit that you were wrong and quit trying to prove that you're the smartest kid on the block.

Do you even understand anything on the political process? Your condemnation of Paul was because he voted on cloture on the motion to proceed. That means he voted to bring it to the floor for debate so he could say why it should not be passed. You should not be condemning him for doing that; he has always said he would vote against the bill, and he did.

You, sir, need to check your facts.

The roll call vote I was referring to took place on 11 June (same date as this post) and is number 146. There is a link in the article above, but I'll give you another one here for your convenience.

You will see if you look that Senator Paul is indeed listed as a "Yea" vote in the vote I was referring to.

You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts. Kindly make sure you know what you're talking about before you open your mouth on my blog again.

You need to get your facts straight instead of disparaging Mr. Paul with the wrong list. Rand Paul voted against both cloture and passage, as is listed in the official Senate record on their website. You also left out Murkowski, who actually voted Yae for both cloture and passage. I stopped counting inaccuracies in your list at that point, but I'd suggest not posting slanderous info. http://www.senate.gov/legis...

I read Goldwaters book, Conscience of a Conservative, copyright about 1960. Its a very short book, to the point and highly illustrative of how far the Republican party has come in 50 years. You are 100% accurate. The Repugs are now Demons and the Demons are now full blown socialists. Its easy to locate and secure that book from the library. You will be absolutely amazed at how far the Republican party has come in 50 years. I want to make your acquaintance as I do of any Americans that are informed and awake.

It's kind of an all-inclusive package. I like the idea of GOP standing for something besides "Grand Old Party," which most people don't even know is the original meaning of GOP. :)

This is probably the dumbest thing I have heard. Does it really matter where the Federal Monster gets its money? If the government borrows trillions of dollars from the future no big deal. Hey, here is big check for "deficits don't matter" Cheney. But heaven forbid current taxes go up. The issue is not how the Federal government is financed: current taxes, future taxes, or printing money. Raising taxes is bad economic policy, but it is not the underlying problem. The problem is the SPENDING!

YES, my family had about 500K in a secured bond with them when they flipped the rules on bankruptcy and screwed them. Please flip this case.

Absolutely agree...although I gave zilch to Priebus this last election cycle, anyway. He struck me as a bozo. I donated to Jim Demint and the Heritage Foundation.

1. Tech blogger stuff, like stats, mainly how to drill down to see where you are effective. When blogging on the edge of the right blogosphere, feedback is light. Hooks, media, tags
2. An online course? 20-50 depending on depth of class.
3. Sessions about an hour, so someone could do them for a lunch hour.

" . . . they lined the streets all with ROMNEY SIGNS and I assume that was clear across the country."

Clear across the country? Hardly. There was very little visual coverage of that particular trip. Usually, they play those trips up to show O's "massive support." This time, they mostly just told us about the "massive support", without pictures.

I wonder why they covered this one differently?

Well... Well... We finally get an HONEST JUDGE!

Seems there is some integrity LEFT in their Ranks.

There should be no DOUBT that if OBAMA is reelected.

This JUDGE will be removed from the case.

What America needs to know.

is that Obama, IS, HAS BEEN, and WILL BE DISHONEST with the America People. IF it advances his POWER and helps out the BIG UNIONS.

VOTE NO FOR OBAMA AND THE DEMORATS IN NOVEMBER.

I only know that about 20,000 workers from from 2 Dayton Ohio and surrounding Plants lost $20,000-35,000 in Retirement funs THAT THEY PAID IN. When Obama came to Dayton they lined the streets all with ROMNEY SIGNS and I assume that was clear across the country..And to shake your memory They closed 2,200 self sufficent family owned dealerships that had been in business since conception of GM and a loss of 220,000 loyay dealership employees...Everytime govt. get involved its always bad just ask NASA.....

If the media would do even a "sufficient" job of covering Obama's antics, they would have uncovered this. When the administration is allowed to act with no accountability whatsoever, they get away with murder!!!!!

Had they gone through a traditional structured bankruptcy, GM would still be in business, their suppliers would still be in business and the secured parties that got stiffed would have been paid - primarily pension funds and 401Ks.

In addition, the bankruptcy court would almost certainly have restructured GM's union contracts, reducing their hourly wage to something like market and driving a stake through the heart of their pension and heath care benefit packages.

As it stands today, GM is "still in business", but their position is tenuous at best. Their labor costs in the US are still 50% higher than their competition and their Euro marketing group is on their last breath. In addition, the UAW effectively controls the GM board, given the seats they've been given and the seat the US government holds, and they will certainly vote those shares (almost 1/3 of the total outstanding) in favor of whatever the UAW wants.

I hope the judge overturns the whole package.
