Very illuminating votes...
Last night we had two votes in the Senate that crystalize the mindset of the Democrat party.
First the Senate voted 39-57 against the "John Doe Amendment" that would protect citizens from being sued after reporting suspicious behavior to authorities causing its removal from an unrelated education bill. Of note, not a single Republican voted against it but not enough Democrats voted for it to reach the 60 votes needed since it was attached to an unrelated education bill by Sen. Susan Collins in an attempt to rescue the legislation after the Democrats successfully stripped it from the Homeland Security bill. Also particularly troubling is that two presidential candidates, Sam Brownback and Barack Obama, decided not to cast a vote at all even though they were present in the Senate at the time of the vote. If you are running for the presidency don't you think that its important that you cast a vote for important legislation like this? This shows no backbone or leadership, qualities essential for a potential president of the country.
And second, an amendment to the student loan bill that would have required voters to show a photo ID at the polls was voted on. The amendment was to prevent voter fraud by stopping non-citizens from voting in elections. Seems reasonable to me....but not the Senate. It failed 42-54. Not a single Democrat voted in favor of this bill. Not one. And 4 Republcians also voted against it.
Simply stunning.
So to sum up, the Democrats are in favor of concerned Americans who report suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities being sued and losing everything they've worked for their entire lives, like the flying imams are attempting to do. They also are in favor of illegal aliens voting in our elections and corrupting the process.
Just lovely!
