2. See ...

It was a bi-partisan rejection of the socialistic, wealth re-distribution Buffett Rule ... One Democrat voted against the question!

S/O

[spartan61]

3. Thank you, Susan Collins,

the only R voting for the Buffett Bill. And why did Lieberman not bother to vote? He is such an A$$!!

[orpupilofnature57]

5. He isn't even an honest traitor

[orpupilofnature57]

4. GOB ' Good ol boys '

[Honeycombe8]

6. So it goes to the House now? nt

[Thinkingabout]

7. They vote like Norquist wants them to vote

To hell with the people they are supposed to represent. Don't talk about a deficit and vote against raising revenues to lower it.

[southernyankeebelle]

8. I sent my email to Corker with 3 words. Pass Buffet rule

[WhoIsNumberNone]

9. Oddly enough all the Nays seem to have R's next to them...

But not a single R in the Yea column. (scratches head...)

[spanone]

21. collins from maine voted yea...the only r

[WhoIsNumberNone]

22. oops.

Guess I scanned that column a little too quickly. I'm sure she'll be getting a call from Norquist in the morning...

[freshwest]

10. WHAT'S NEXT? If it goes to the House, it'll be straight line party vote, down in flames.

What difference will this really make?

I'm glad my people voted as I wanted them to vote...

But I'm lacking details on the impact here.

[PoliticAverse]

11. It was voted down in the Senate. It required 60 yea votes as this was a vote...

of 'Closure' (to stop a blocking filibuster) and only got 51 yeas.

No one thought it was pass. It's really political theater.

[freshwest]

13. Will there be a filibuster, though?

[PoliticAverse]

14. They don't have to actually filibuster under the present Seante rules, just threaten to do one. n/t

[freshwest]

16. Haven't seen a thread on what Reid will do. Haven't heard much of him at all, lately.

But then he and his wife probably still recovering from that motor vehicle accident. There are a lot of those going around these days.

[mfcorey1]

12. One democrat voted no: Pryor of AR? Also Repub yea: Collins.

[Kaleva]

15. Which makes it, in Senate standards, a bi-partisan vote.

[bluestateguy]

17. Manchin and Ben Nelson voted yes

Nelson is retiring so no matter (but Thank You!).

Manchin cast the right vote even though that will add to the tally of how many times he "voted with Obama" in the Senate, and will surely be used against him in attack ads in a state where Obama is disliked. That takes courage.

[libinnyandia]

18. Does the ID by Lieberman stand for Idiot?:o)

[Angry Dragon]

20. yes

[Angry Dragon]

19. Where does the majority not matter??

The Senate

[libinnyandia]

23. The Senate is so dysfunctional. In theory Senators representing just over 10% of the voters

could control the Senate.
