Harry Reid got so sick of Chris Dodd and Richard Shelby dawdling all week over the two or three specific conjunctions and adverbs they need to clear up to finalize their alleged Agreement that he has gone ahead and scheduled a first cloture vote on the original Dodd committee bill for Monday, around 5 p.m. If they reach an agreement by then, they can introduce it as an amendment. Has Harry Reid ever read the Constitution? It says “Dumb Democrats shall not be allowed to put legislation on any sort of dumb timeline, jesus christ…” First Amendment, or somewhere around there.

Oh dear, I hope this doesn’t make anybody mad.
I’m starting to lose track of horrible bills that everyone hates and are going to destroy America. Fortunately this one’s different because all the Republicans hated it two days ago and now apparently they all love it. All I can say is that must’ve been a helluvan evil comma they took out.
Ram it, cram it, shish-koom-bah! Ram it, cram it, rah rah rah! Gooooooooooo FinReg!
*jumps up and down and waves pom-poms*
[re=562362]SayItWithWookies[/re]: probably eats, shoots, and leaves. maybe they actually added a comma?
Who will be the Republican who turns coward and votes with the Democrats 59? (I forget if it’s for or against cloture. Evidently, I haven’t read the constitution either). Will the Democrats vote together on this one? How many banks are located in Nebraska?
Whichever Republic cracks first, I hope he’s ready for the Teabagging that will ensue.
Ooh, speaking of teabagging: Anderson Cooper is in some godforsaken place tonight and he’s lookin’ hot in a blue tee that shows off his eyes and silver haired hotness to perfection.
Count me in, Anderson, whatever stinking, rat-infested, seething ass boil of a place you find yourself.
[re=562362]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Apparently, Republicans fear attack ads on letting the big banks continue to run amok even more than they love the big banks’ money.
Hot Financial Reform Cloture Action eh? Anyone thinking that ol’ Mitch McDouchebag will get a little hot under the collar? Maybe hell rollover instead of pulling on the choker Reid keeps him on.
[re=562368]DustBowlBlues[/re]:
Anderson Cooper is a HDIWF.
It’s for, isn’t it? If you vote for cloture you voting for debate to end, so, for, right?
Now I am unsure as well.
[re=562368]DustBowlBlues[/re]: They already have quite a few votes promised from the Republicans. The ‘baggers are going to bankrupt themselves shipping salt and toast and teabags all over the place.
[re=562368]DustBowlBlues[/re]: I think that Grassley is planning to vote for the FinReg bill. Not that he doesn’t think (like all R’s) that it won’t destroy America; he does.
It’s just that he knows he’s not eloquent enough to convince his long foreclosed constituents that regulating banks is a terrible, terrible idea.
The anger brought on by an unprincipled filibuster is the only thing that gets Harry riled up enough for the Viagra to work, and he doesn’t want to feel left out on ‘New Page Monday’.
Mitch McConnell to some hapless lackey:
Get a dictionary. Find out what this “closure” thing is. If that’s what he’s going to hit us with, I want to be ready.
Ram it down their throats, Harry!
On second thoughts, ew.
[re=562362]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Not to worry. Once our Teabagger Overlords take over after the November elections, they will repeal everything and we will be free of the Socialist tyranny!
Just like most men, all you care about is cloture. Why can’t we just snuggle and debate for a while?
[re=562383]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Should we ask our Sens Murray & Cantwell to lobby the ladies from Maine. They have leverage, they threaten to stretch Saran Wrap over the off-floor women’s toilet or sumpthin’
Well, this financial reform thing seems to be happening a lot faster than that Health Care Reform thing. Maybe they’re getting the hang of this reform thing thing.
[re=562383]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: re Chuck Grassley’s “eloquence.” How eloquent is Senator Grassley? He’s so eloquent that if he shouted “I’m on fire” and I could see him engulfed in flames, I still wouldn’t believe him. (I might cheer anyway, though.)
I can’t remember. Is this the one that will bring about socialist and fascist trannies or is this the one that will bail out all the banks and the Negros?
Lieberman will find a way to be an asshole.
I’ve really tried cloture a couple times now, in my kitchen, and I just never quite get it right. You have to keep it cool – if it gets up above 60 degrees or so, the whole thing comes apart. It’s an emulsion basically. Those damn French.
[re=562427]pirate king of the Jews[/re]: In fact, Cloture votes make Lieberman jizz in his pants. you’ll note his jowls get all sweaty as he thinks of demonstrating the rippling, pulsing power in his vast manhood. He visualizes the bill as a personification of all of the times Hadassah told him she had a headache, he rips it’s bodice asunder and plunges, thrusting forward “NNNNooooo” and a second or two later; “”spoink”" he’s done.
[re=562438]snideinplainsight[/re]: 59 parts pussies, and 41 parts balls, amirite?
Honestly, this whole crazy “financial reform” thing’s going to be completely moot, anyway, once Reid loses his seat to Crazy and we transition to a chicken-based economy.
[re=562406]weejee[/re]: But if Olympia Snowe votes for it, the teabaggers might send her more rock salt!
Keep f___ing that chicken, Harry. No wait, his opponent in Nevada is doing that already.
So, anyone want to take a guess as to when all of the Republicans will go to their default setting of bat-shit crazy when the actual votes comes up and they scurry away from the bill like rats, and then say that Satan wrote it so they won’t vote for it?
I hope that Crazy Loon in Nevada is ready to build Chicken Coops, Pig Stys and Horse Stalls when she beats that Socialist Harry Reid. No wait, Medicare will pay for them.
WALL STREET BILL, SHOWDOWN VOTE:
President Obama read an article that sounded like today’s news:
“Through the great banking houses of Manhattan last week ran wild-eyed alarm. Big bankers stared at one another in anger and astonishment. A bill just passed would rivet upon their institutions what they considered a monstrous system. Such a system, they felt, would not only rob them of their pride of profession but would reduce all U.S. banking to its lowest level.
Then the kicker: The article was published in June of 1933, the first year of FDR’s New Deal.”
THE REAL POINT IS: NONE OF THE REGULATIONS OR EFFORTS THEN OR SINCE HAVE SAVED US FROM CONTINUAL FINANCIAL CRISES AND MULTITUDES LOSING THEIR INVESTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
God warned against debt, interest, insurance (surety), covetousness and seeking riches and honors. We cannot continue to embrace the things God hates. We have promoted it around the world; and have defiled the world and made it diseased by polluting our air, land, water and food. Jobs and employment are not the solutions, they are obstacles. True freedom and true prosperity have families together for generations, helping, loving and learning how to raise honorable families. A garden paradise lifestyle solves the world problems we created with the employment lifestyle. It is the only sustainable lifestyle. We do not need the banking industry to have it.
We need someone in the White House NOW so we can have REAL CHANGE that will not continue our enslaving lifestyle. God has prepared the way.
