| Any Dem Senator proposing an amendment to C4C *NOW* is a freakin' idiot |
|
The House has adjourned.
The Senate *HAS* to pass the *EXACT* same bill as the House, or the program is dead. There's no way to rectify two separate bills in committee.
The *ONLY* way the program stays afloat right now is if the Senate passes it with ZERO amendments.
Tom Harkin is a freaking idiot, or he's gone senile.

| 2. Latest amendment vote FAILED 47-51. |
|
Very close vote. They continue to vote on amendments. Seems to be a dog and pony show where they eventually approve the extension in the end.

| 3. Harkin voted against his own amendment. He understands that. McCaskill and Bayh, however, not so |

Certain amendments would be offered and all voted down.
I guess some people wanted to be able to say they tried to do a certain thing.
