C-SPAN2 - Up Next 'Final Debate Minimum Wage'

[jannyk]

Currently waiting for the 'players; to arrive on the floor. Kennedy is there waiting with some big ass presentation charts. They 'hope' to get to final vote today. We'll see...

It was said that Reid is negotiating with Pelosi re: Business Tax Breaks, as tax relief usually has to come from the Congress.

Still waiting....

1. Kennedy is up! n/t

[jannyk]

2. Kennedy opened with Anti -Surge message

...Majority of country against it, most generals against it and most 'representatives' against it.How much clearer can the message be? I (Kennedy) intend to introduce a 'Binding' resolution to stop the Presidnt's actions....


Get that?? BINDING!!!

[jannyk]

3. Kennedy is back up and he looks 'mad'

after a loooong recess, he's back at the podium. Doesn't sound/look like things went well in the 'back rooms.

4. Repugs have added 8.5 billion in tax breaks

for businesses.

Haven't 10 years with NO fucking increase been enough of a break!!!??

5. I thought Bush had already vetoed this bill? (nt)

[jannyk]

6. It hasn't even come to the floor for a vote yet

Congress passed it - fast. Senate - 16 days and counting - endless ammendments for their corporate 'sponsers'. Dems hope to have a straight vote later today or tomorrow. But repugs have now attached an 8.5 bill tax break for business.

[GOTV]

7. It hasn't gotten anywhere near Bush yet n/t

[Ignacio Upton]

8. We can always remove the tax breaks in conference committee

n/t.
