Somebody Help Me: What was Accomplished in the Senate Today?
Harry Reid must have some logical, strategic reason for what he did today, but I am at a loss to understand the logic when it comes to the DOD bill.

Secondly, was Wyden/Cornyn's sex trafficking bill passed or not?

I thought I would never have anything positive to say about any Republican, but bless Susan Colllins for her vote to go forward with abolishing "Don't Ask Don't Tell."

Anybody: What can we expect tonight? Will the tax bill be introduced? Will the DOD bill be reintroduced? Or have our senators gone to bed?

1. Susan Collins is my new heroe! The rest of the Repugnant party only has one mind. . .
no brain, and no heart or integrity!
Sheep.. all of them. . .who will give up their integrity to follow "party line!"

2. what did he do? as far as logical, strategic reasons, we need
to look no further than the guy in charge. He's been playing chess with the other side but in order to win he feels the need to lose his queen and get checkmated on every move.

3. They have been in bed Mike, with everyone but us.
I got to say and it chokes me, bless Susan Colllins. She did a good thing.

6. Wow. You are giving me an education to say the least.
I'm listening. It is shocking and disturbing.

7. +1. But they'll always blame us. We're the ones who stop them from being Republicans.
And Republicans win because they get the bennies from Goldman Sachs. So the left will always cause the Democratic Party to "lose" because we don't stand for them becoming synonymous with Republicans.
