Senate is back!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

Cornyn telling us how if we pull-out, the terra-ists will follow us home...

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. Sure they will

:eyes:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

5. chaos in Iraq!

"blood and repercussions and reprisals and bombs and genocide and syria and Iran will invade!"

[loyalkydem]

2. and I will be

the next Power ball winner

[TlalocW]

TlalocW

[sabra]

3. did he call it the "homeland" seems to be the buzzword today?

[bigendian]

4. Sure

Like the VietCong did after 'nam.

[11 Bravo]

8. Dude, did you sleep through the '75 VC assault on the Grand Old Opry?!?!

They followed us back to San Diego, caught the red-eye to Dulles, hitch-hiked to Nashville, and spread out across the countryside to pursue their nefarious scheme. It was in all the papers.

[bigendian]

38. On a serious note.

They did open a lot of liquor stores.

[Sparkly]

7. "Follow us home"

I'm so sick of that. Do they think these people don't know where we are, or what?!? Should we not drop the little breadcrumbs on our way back?!

[Norquist Nemesis]

11. "They'll folow us home! They're already here! They'll follow us home!

They're already here!"

Bushetals and their loyalists just can't seem to make us their minds.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

9. Cornyn blowing off Durbin's direct question

"Did not the PM of Iraq just say two days ago that we could leave at any time?"

spin, spin, oops! stumble... spin spin...

[bdamomma]

10. when will they stop with that shit!

[MiniMe]

12. So has the filibuster officially started?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

13. yep.

:popcorn:

[KharmaTrain]

14. Today's "Hey Bob" Game...

For those in need of a reason...

1 shot for every time a Repugnican says "Al Queda"
1 shot for every time a Repugnicans says "They'll follow us here"
1 shot for every time a Repugnican invokes 9/11
1 shot for every time a Repugnican says "Support the Troops"

and do the whole damn bottle if someone dares to say something positive about gorje w. boooosh.

[halobeam]

15. Yay Durbin....nice to set the real record straight!!!!!

[Buttercup McToots]

17. Here we go....

it's them against us...
These are real bastards...
Be afraid...really afraid...

[Viva_La_Revolution]

19. I'll have to play using wine

but I'm game. :evilgrin:

[KharmaTrain]

25. This Game Is B.Y.O.H.

Bring Your Own High...

:rofl:

I'd stay away from the Chinaco for this game, i'd be "faced" in no time. Wine works very well...or

:smoke:

Sit back and enjoy the show...today we get some major payback.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

36. all set up...

I'm out of Riesling though, had to settle for a cheap Chardonnay. Bottoms up!

[KharmaTrain]

37. I'm A Creatin...

A nice bottle of white Zin or creme Zin and I'm doing fine. :rofl:

At least we'll have plenty of time to sober up during these quorum calls and roll call votes.

I'm gonna have "Mr. Akaka..." ringing in my head all night.

:rofl:

[TwilightGardener]

16. Durbin--GOP are chickenshits, afraid to allow Levin-Reed to come to actual vote.

[halobeam]

20. sleezebag McCain chickenshit up....

spewing... like Darth does... oh how he's got this down now. yuk.

[TwilightGardener]

18. McCain--Dems asked for 60 votes in past--unfair---awwwww!

[halobeam]

22. yeah... my heart just goes out to him!!!

:rofl:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

23. He's not even making sense to me...

could you follow that?

[TwilightGardener]

31. No, he was sputtering.

[Buttercup McToots]

21. McCain is gonna lose it...

Show your real self...Johnny...

[Viva_La_Revolution]

24. They're caving already!!!?

edit all that... voting on Cornyns amendment in the middle of the debate? Maybe I need a nap. :shrug:

[KharmaTrain]

30. Did You See Them Scramble???

Welcome to how this fillibuster will end.

Any chance the Democrats get a chance, look for them to call for a vote on Reid-Levin...and each time they'll scramble like rats...but sooner rather than later, the objections will get fainter and the pressure will build.

[TwilightGardener]

26. LOL! Cornyn wants CLOTURE vote at 6 pm--get it over with--

sure you do, buddy--shoot it down before it even can advance to a vote. That's why Dems are foiling your plans, idiot.

[Maggie_May]

29. No way!

[TwilightGardener]

27. I'm confused--what are they about to vote on?

[guitar man]

28. Cornyn, you idiot

Didn't you get the memo? Apparently, they are "following us home" anyway...:eyes:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070717/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_terror_threat

[TwilightGardener]

32. Anybody know what they're voting on? Is it the "Iraq failed state" amendment?

[TwilightGardener]

33. Yep--answering my own question--Cornyn amendment that says

the sense of the Senate is that we should not let Iraq turn into a failed state. I think the horse is already out of the barn on that one, though.

[KharmaTrain]

39. Sense Of The Senate...

They wanna send a bad report card to his assholiness. But, hey, if this is how they want to waste time, I have time.

Empty gestures that will ring more hollow as the night moves along.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

34. yep

Sense of Senate that Iraq not become a failed state and safe haven for terrorists.

[TwilightGardener]

35. This is such a "DUH" vote--complete waste of time.

[LiberalHeart]

40. Yes...

Next up:

Sense of Senate that terrorists are bad people.

Sense of Senate that zits make teenagers unhappy.

Sense of Senate that food helps curb hunger pangs.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

42. Is it like a 'gut feeling'?

[TwilightGardener]

44. LOL! Exactly!

[Bitwit1234]

41. If people who did not live in their district could email them and they would read it

we should tell him, if we could get his address we would be sure to tell them where he lives.

[Buttercup McToots]

43. Here comes Harry

Do not back down, Harry!!!

[Jim Warren]

45. Like the coyotes

:evilgrin:

[KharmaTrain]

46. Gauntlet Thrown...

He's laying out the game here.

The pressure needs to be placed on every Repugnican who co-sponsors one of these ammendments...put these people on the record as many times possible and force them to continue to support the obstruction. Boooshie didn't come running up to the hill today for the Navy Bean soup...he knows he needs to hold the few remaining votes between him and some very damaging vetoes.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

47. Harry calling for a vote on Levin/Reid at 6:30 tonight ...

Lott is objecting...

[Buttercup McToots]

48. What is Trents Trotts trying to do?

Is he trying to stonewall?

[The Cleaner]

49. Lott tried to butt in out of line: Reid said "NOT"

n/t

[Strawman]

50. Durbin - "Why wait until September?"

Exactly! Good speech right now.

[TwilightGardener]

51. Yes, he's an excellent advocate.

[TwilightGardener]

52. Here comes McInsane in the Membrane. Still harping on the rules

and past precedents--no argument on the merits of Levin-Reed, just on technicalities, because that's all they've got on the GOP side to cling to.

[halobeam]

54. yeah, and his point is there are other important things to debate? lol

[TwilightGardener]

55. Yes--he keeps bringing up the "wounded warrior" amendment--how

about this idea, asshole--take our warriors out of combat, and there will be AUTOMATICALLY less wounded warriors!

[halobeam]

56. sorry, too tough for him to comprehend. It makes sense.

[TwilightGardener]

53. McCain: "Astonished" that Harry Reid said war is lost. Sanctimonious prick, is he.
