Senate to Vote on the S.649 TODAY 4-17 - 4 pm

[tbhausen]

Look at Chuck-U... I didn't think glasses could be that far down a nose and not end up on the floor

 

[jkfletcher]

So if all the Democratic fun stuff is shot down, will they even bother to vote on what's left after the amendments? Or will it just get pulled?

 

[Eric05]

Donnely so far is playing it smart and in our favor. Hopefully he keeps it up.

 

[slidemuzik]

Fox is not even covering any news on the debate. For the first time I can remember I purposely switched to Chris Mathews. He's about to P his pants.

 

[pilgrim]

Six down two to go.

 

[Colarmel]

Here is a Gallup poll showing only 4% that say that gun control is important.

I think obama has the numbers reversed.

Gallup: Only 4% of Americans Think Gun Control is an Important Problem | CNS News

Let's not twist numbers, 4% think it's the most important.

But yeah, 90% is bogus.

44 senators would rather **** on the veterans who sacrifice more than they will ever will. I say spread the names around us fellow vets so we may know where to vote.

 

[pilgrim]

Mag ban up now.

 

[jkfletcher]

another mag cap ban amendment. Booooo

 

[Colarmel]

Oh good, we can get everything I'm worried about solved today.

 

[Colarmel]

It's incredibly disheartening that the Vet bill failed. Was that the closest vote yet?

 

[VikingWarlord]

Donnely so far is playing it smart and in our favor. Hopefully he keeps it up.

See, here's what I don't get. Everyone is calling for writing and calling in order to get him to support us. Then, when he does, his motives are questioned.

That seems a little ridiculous.

 

[pilgrim]

Grassley giving the facts out again.

 

[jwh20]

Where do they keep getting this '90%' of Americans!?

It's a lie. Remember what Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels said:

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

 

[Hammerhead]

The President just held the whiniest, pouting, complaining press conference because he didn't get his way.

 

[jwh20]

Here is the complete Goebbels quote. It's actually frightening because it's so absolutely true:

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

My pregnant wife has said we are going to eat right now. So can someone please inform me of the results of this last vote. Thanks for your help guys.

That seems a little ridiculous.

He voted yea on the one that had the greatest chance to be adopted. When that failed to get 60 it became much easier for him to vote on the pro gun amendments that he knew had no chance of passing.

 

[TopDog]

It's incredibly disheartening that the Vet bill failed. Was that the closest vote yet?

It was the closest vote yet and it is total bull****. 165,000 vets reported to NICs to be denied on background check.

Let us see how the magazine amendment fleshes out.

 

[tbhausen]

Failure to pass the vet amendment is simply disgusting.
