Dem leader says Senate could finish Saturday

Quote:

Reid scuttled a $1.3 trillion catchall spending bill Thursday night in favor of a smaller measure to keep the government running into early next year. He set votes for Saturday morning on the repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays and an immigration measure.

yeah it'll be finished on saturday if DREAM gets voted down. heres another caveat: if you are a fence sitting senator, would you want to vote yes on DREAM so you can stay for another 30 hours and not be home for the holidays after the majority leader just made you work 1 extra week?

What is it with you people and discomfort? "No, I won't attend the DC rally because I rather be warm with food." "I don't want to be up early!"

Are you serious? We have one last shot at this and we're complaining about which luxuries are going to cost us? Please.

Either way, back to the phones I go.

Of course I want to be up early to see if the vote gets passed. My future (and wife and kids future) depends on this vote. I had hoped the smiley face and the context would express the light hearted tone of the message. Yes this is very serious, but dont be so judgemental and pick apart my "up early" comment. When you ask, "are you serious" the answer is- no. The only way I have gotten through the last 10+ years waiting for the DREAM Act to pass is to take a little humor along with me.
