I swear early on, it was announced that cloture had passed with 62 votes. Was I hallucinating or was it some losercrat with wishful thinking?

I saw that too and almost puked…but let’s stick with cloture failing like everyone else.

Granite,

I think we finally agree on something. “The Amnesty Bill Horror” is very very funny.

Kudos to whomever came up with that.

I could tell from the email response I got from KBH that she would probably dissapoint me with her vote and she did. She doesn’t deserve to be our senator or govenor. I wrote her the first time the comprehensive amnesty bill came up and told her I would never vote for anyone that supported any type of amnesty for illegal aliens. I will not vote for her for any office. I will email her tomorrow to tell her that and will also write Cornyn and thank him for his vote even though I don’t fully trust him either. It is a disgrace that we have such spineless and self-serving politicians. I always tell the people I know how our politicians vote and try to get them involved. It is sad to see so many of my fellow Americans complacencent about what goes on in Washington.

I’m so mad a Kay Bailey Hutcheson right now, I could SPIT! Okay, fellow Texans, I know a few people I’m going to email about her snub to the base and how she will make a LOUSY governor. Do you know a few people? Let’s make sure everyone we know is aware of her bad judgement today.

Oh my God, Norm Coleman did it again. This is unfortunate because Al Frankin will probably win the next election, but I WILL NOT vote for Norm again…(sigh)

Here is what the Senate GOP has learned from the amnesty catastrophe earlier this year: nothing, zero, zip, nada, zilchmo, zed, nil. Viz:
If you take today’s DREAM Act cloture tally (36 Rs voting NO) and remove obvious RINOs, squishes, and soft votes, the GOP anti-amnesty tally is what it was before the public exploded over Bush-Kennedy Shamnesty: about 30 GOP Senators want a border. Nothing has changed. Unbelievable.
So, as of today, well above one-half the Senate, including appx 1/3 of Rs, is pro-amnesty, stone deaf, in hock to big business and/or PC media, and couldn’t care less what the public demands: “Border first. Fix the border. Crack down on employers. Now. No amnesty. No reward for law-breaking.”

Good job to ALL of you that called and/or faxed. Hopefully one day soon this will finally die and we can put the last nail in the coffin.

Can someone find out when Durbin will be at his home office in Illinois?

I plan on stopping by and expressing my displeasure…

I want him OUT.

The cloture tally on DREAM was bad news. Only 36 Rs voted against cloture. It takes 41 to stop the bill, of course. This means the fate of the DREAM Act is up to the Ds who voted No on cloture, and other Ds who might vote No if the heat is on, but voted Yes today.
PLEASE don’t forget to raise the roof with Ds on amnesty, no matter how they voted today.
As to the Rs, some of today’s No votes were from pro-amnesty Senators (Specter), or soft votes. So, while the result was good, the tally composition was bad. Durbin will be happily planning his next run at a huge amnesty that will raise tuitions for everybody; discriminate against non-illegal students; create a new multibillion dollar spending program; pull in huge numbers of relatives; and — probably worst of all — establish a NEW magnet for mass illegal border crossing.
