mother fucking shitbags voting no. :puke:

[JackBeck]

10. Rethugs protecting their own.

But the more that show up to vote nay means they are present on the floor.

[rpannier]

13. They're voting no because it's sooooooo late, they're tired, they have mistresses...

well...in some cases underaged boys to get together with.

Remember...this is the party (republikkan) that had a 3 1/2 day work week and thought that was strenuous.

It's okay for you and I to work two-to-three jobs.
But they want a 3 day work week.

[Hamlette]

9. aren't they up to a quorum now?

[JackBeck]

17. Sure. The plan is working.

The repugs don't want to be collected my the Sargent.

[alcibiades_mystery]

[JackBeck]

25. I believe he's trying to get the Republicans to the floor.

Looks like it's working.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

[dweller]

NC R(pig)

[crappyjazz]

24. Which is 83, I thought a quorum was 51?

[JackBeck]

26. This is the vote to send the Sargent to collect the Senators.

Now they have enough for a quorum vote.

[crappyjazz]

27. Lieberman - no

what a surprise :eyes:

[Purveyor]

28. Lieberman - NO (of course) n/et

[JTG of the PRB]

Allard votes no. Big surprise.

What a fucking waste of space. Can't wait until he's not representing me anymore!

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

30. I Hope This Becomes A Regular Occurance

I understand what he's up to. And we'll see who cracks first. I bet this gets the repubs all worked up, so they screw themselves in the end somehow by self destructing.

[rocktivity]

31. Please enlighten me--exactly what is the point of all this? Does it hurt or help us?

:shrug:

[warrior1]

32. sort like watching paint dry

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

34. I'm Looking Forward To Midnight Here On West Coast

Seeing how the repubs are holding up at 3 AM.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

33. It Forces The Quorum To Be Present

So it gets the repubs to show up.

And he can do it again if the quorum drops below 50.

All through the night if he wants. So they can't go away for very long.
