SMASH THEM REPUBS!!
I demand DURBIN!!!
7 minutes into R’s time not D’s time
Why for God sake doesn’t anyone talk about the people who LIKE ME have lost benefits 2 months ago!! It’s bigger trhan he’s even presenting it!!
Why is this a vote on ‘the Bill moving forward’? Forward?! To where? Vote on it already!
Just VOTE on the damn thing. What a ridiculuous system we have. It’s amazing this country has been successful AT ALL in the past. We are really a disgusting, selfish lot.
Everything stands in the way of justice.
and we have another moron talking about US ‘Moral Authority’ Another smokescreen.
We are doomed people. Brace yourselves.
OMG ITS 530 lets go who cares!!
The repubs don’t have the balls to talk about the subject. To me it is treason on the American Citizens. They are refusing to do their jobs..
The War Party wants to cut into 7 mins of EU time to talk about evil third world dictators. What a crock!
Well no R’s gonna get up and debate :O what a shocker
Not all republican senators were bad this year..I know one who was good.
Senator Arlen Specter..he switched parties from republican to democratic in April 2009.
Where are the Senators from CA, we sit at 12.2% unemployment and they can’t come out and speak!!!!!
Nowhere in sight. It’s a disgrace. I have called and asked that they speak out. Feinstein’s office told me she had signed the ‘Brown’ letter. That’s it! Left message for Boxer — no response. Where ARE they?
the speeches do not mean jack, they keep saying the same thing over and over…it’s all about the vote
yea but i wanna see some smashing.
Were are the republicans
This is ridiculous! The R’s should just lift their objection and let the bill go through clean!
wow this guy is actually is talking about unemployment not healthcare
I can not belive ..Not “1” Repub is going to Talk about HR 3548 ..UNBELIVEABLE!!
the Republicans are blocking this to set the precedent for their Healthcare objection. If Healthcare wasn’t such a hot topic, this would’ve passed a month ago
The repubs are afraid because they dont wanna come to speak because they will speak bs and the people will realize that they BULLSHITTING
The people already know they are full of shit!!! They should be wearing a suite make of shit, that is how full of shit they are.
Quote of the day, Not even commen sense is automatic around here!!
If the elevator starts can i get floor # 3
im going to eat now f***
what happens if repubs dont speak
The Republicans are not going to speak, they know it is political suicide to talk against the extension.
They will just hope that we don’t get the 60
so what exactly are they voting on? Is this the actual senate vote or just a vote to determine whether to or not to proceed with a final senate vote?
vote for cloture and to procedd on the bill
can anyone answer if they dont talk the republicans and its 6 do they still have to talk
this is the vote on the procedural motion whether to invoke cloture.
If they get the vote, they motion to invoke cloture. After 30 hours, they can vote on the bill and each amendment.
I can’t believe the Republicans, have nothing to offer in response of why they have Stalled this Bill ? what about the excuse of how much it would cost?
or taking it from stimulus Money ? I think they owe the American people some kind of explaination, they have had them for the last four weeks, where is their retro now ?
Not a single peep from the Republicans supporting this bill. So telling. Unreal.
If the vote passes tonight, I believe that they can limit further ‘debate’ for a maximum of 30 more hours before the Bill can be brought to the floor for a vote.
I assume that’s why the Democrats went this route, in order to force the vote in a few days.
