[Subdivisions]

Dorgan just declared his and Conrad's standing objections to proceeding until a deal/vote is made on benefits to drought-stricken farmers.

Are Dems trying to round up someone to speak?

3. It appears they are willing to talk until January if they have to...

to keep the Senate from passing a bunch of bullshit legislation.

4. I'd title this thread: Republican tell farmers to die

Really, what the hell are the rethug's problem.

The elections are over. Let the farmers get a tiny bit of relief.

I'd glad Conrad and Dorgan are doing this.

5. Family farms don't donate big bucks to repukes,

Big agra does.

If a family farm goes bankrupt, ADM or Monsanto swoop in like vultures and buy the farm for pennies on the dollar.

Remember Farm-Aid ?

6. I hope they do talk till Jan.

Nothing they do in the next month won't have to be undone next year so let them do what they do best.

NOTHING!!

7. Kent Conrad back on the floor! Some repuke tried to bring another bill to the floor and Conrad

objected AGAIN! THIS IS SO SWEET!

Those bastards made a DEAL with him yesterday to bring his amendment to the floor for debate and a vote today if he would remove it from the military spending bill...and he did that IN GOOD FAITH...THOSE FUCKERS RENEGED ON THEIR PROMISE! G-d, I HATE REPUKES. They are LIARS, CHEATERS and THIEVES!:grr:
