No Support

Well, the Senate didn't do much today really. Guess they forgot about Border security, health care, etc. They haven't been in session since the 15th so, we weren't really hurt. They took their solemn duty and confirmed a judge. Yawn.

There was some action on the 15th tho. A LOT of huffing and puffing about Iran. They expressed the "Will of the Senate" and TOLD Iran not to build any nuclear bombs. They sure told them too, boy. So there. It's to bad they don't have the Guts to back it up and support the Pro-democracy Iranians.

The Santorum Ammendment came up for a vote also and was soundly rejected. A special THANX to the 11 Republicans who jumped ship.

The Santorum ammend. #4234; To authorize, with an offset, asssistance for Pro-Democracy people in Iran. To make clear the U.S. supports their ability to exercise self-determination over their form of govt. Defeated. 53-46

Both Senators from Illinois, Barak Obama and Dick Durbin, voted against it also. The "Will of the Senate" is that we can Not help them fulfill their Dreams. Our Senate Told Iran not to build a bomb, and make them MAD, or Else. I guess they figure that's all it's going to take. They don't need to add any extra pressure, because the "Will of the Senate" was expressed to the mullahs. I can just see them on their camels, racing out of town to tear everything down.

Me, I think anything we can do to screw them up, the Better. Bringing on as much CHAOS as we can seems to be the smartest thing we can do. Enough trouble on the homefront and it has to slow everthing down. A blind man can see that the Iranians are running a game on us. Just like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

It's a good thing we have Tough senators like Barak Obama and Dick Durbin from here in Illinois. N.Y. might have Hillary and Mass., Ted, but just look at what we have. Yes sir, they are Impressive.

No Support for the Pro-Democracy Iranians, No Support for the American position, No Support for our Ports ( Yes Dubai does own them NOW, the senate Quietly took the origional language out of the bill), and apparently No Support for our Airlines now either. They don't seem to have much trouble stopping judges and stuff they don't like.

Definately No Support for securing Our Borders. Just more Crying from people like Carl Levin( he always seems to be in such pain, poor thing), Joe Biden, Pelosi, and the usual suspects.
