McConnell: DREAM Act Not Top Priority, Reid Doesn't Have the Votes - Page 2

Look at the next article on this same site: "Hugo Chavez Would "Embrace" Obama and "Eat Socialist Arepas" With Him". Does this sound like an unbiased site to you?

Don't let these a-holes get you down. Keep fighting

Its not just this article that keeps our hopes down. The whole atmosphere feels wrong.

I'm about to ask the same question too... If Graham voted yes for cloture, that's the best day in my life.


Look, let's face reality. It doesn't matter if a senator votes NO for passage of the bill. We're guaranteed to have 50+ vote to pass Dream Act.

Our concern is that we don't have 60 votes to end debate. As long as the senators like Graham or McCain vote for cloture, that's all I care about

I thought it was 60 just to begin the debate?

Hey, DA User, can you please stop asking questions? You've posted a billion questions, some of which, as a longstanding DAP member, you should already know.

AGAIN, folks, this board gets so easily sidetracked with every damn article that's posted. I used to think the antis were doing a lot to kill our cause, but we sure are shooting ourselves in the foot when instead of calling, someone posts an OPINION article, and then someone asks when the vote is. Who the hell cares when the damn vote is? You people have known that there is going to be a vote weeks ago. Who cares what exact day it is? Is it because that's when you will actually do something, like calling? Wait until the last minute and then call?

I've been harping about this since the defense authorization bill: keep focused; just keep calling, faxing and being informed. Being informed doesn't mean y'all have to post every damn article that you discover on Google and then ask questions about it.

I know you guys hate when on the floor of the Senate, some senator just keeps rambling on and stalling, doing nothing but yapping away. Well, to put it in Senate terms, all this posting and speculating IS NOT GERMANE to our task. This shit is filibustering our own damn cause.

It's like what they say in sports: take it every game at a time and focus on the things you can control.

Are you serious, people post opinion articles on here all day long!

60 to begin debate, then 60 to end debate

I thought it was 60 to begin and then 51 to pass?

I was just clarifying.

I was making sure of the technical part of it.
