Precedents of the Senate

There is precedent for a Senator being beaten with a cane here in the Senate. If mistakes were the rule, the caning of Senators would be in order. Fortunately for all of us, it is not

You Republicans (RINOs) had better get yourselves in-line with the American people. The culling is coming in 2010. Try REAL hard NOT to be thrown out with the filthy democrat swamp water.

I think there are some Democrat senators that could use a good caning.

If this old man will probably be dead within 15 years why do we let him get up and speak? That goes for both parties. Any one that will be dead in a few years should not be speaking. All they care about is being rich and leaving all their money to their kids. Please pull the plug on Mitch and throw Grandma in there. I'll trade them both for a young soldier being murdered in Iraq. And get rid of that bitch Pelosi.I don't want to pay for her botox anymore.Christ, she looks like Joan Rivers

its not about republicans or democrats anymore. Its about the guilty and the just

Every day it becomes more and more apparent just how drunk on Obamadrama Juice the liberal leftists have become. I'm just glad we are still fortunate enough to have people like Inhofe, Nelson, McConnell, Boehner and Cantor standing up to the militant socialists like Reid, Pelosi, Murtha and Obama. We stood firm in the face of the overwhelming tyranny of King George III, and we will beat back the domestic threat of the current would-be despots. Checks and balances exist for just such times.

If the Democrats aren't willing to follow the most basic rules, are willing to completely IGNORE the WILL of the people, then we are going to have a revolution, and revolution may be what it takes to restore the rules. If the Democrats go for reconciliation on this bill, revolution will be in order.

The American people elected Democrats to not be Bush, what they got instead is a new sinister oppression emanating from far left. We need balance restored to government, Democrats MUST be defeated

This is a party of greed, nothing else. These people have no idea the plight of common people, and while the other party has some of this, the GOP cares nothing for people, just fear and greed.

I'm fighting for my kids future and all other kids future in America.

Being forced to pay for healthcare insurance is one more stranglehold by the US gov.

My wife is from a country with national healthcare. They are NOT forced to pay it and they only pay $30. per month for it.

That is what I would vote for, because if another country can do it, so can ours!

[savebury]

Did you know the republicans tried yesterday to filibuster the defense appropriations bill in order to slow down healthcare reform. That is right they are willing to let our troops go without the equipment and supplies they need in order to prevent americans from getting the healthcare they need. Doesn't that make you feel good about paying for their generous health plans out of your taxes? If government healthcare is bad they should stop using it.

I don't hear anything about withdrawal. Read the rules on withdrawal of an amendment. Because that's what happened.
