[dusman]

I'm trying to find votes too.

[nobody's_hero]

I don't have a roll call list but I'm sure McCain and Graham were some of the deciding votes.

Come on guys, we know this. Who else would have stabbed the GOP in the back?

I know for sure that Graham voted for cloture.

I was pleasantly surprised that Rubio voted against cloture.
And that he voted.

[PaleoPaul]

As our an-cap friends like to say...

VOTE HARDER!

[Chester Copperpot]

this is a political move to keep the filibuster from strengthening rands campaign... plus now he can be derided as ineffective

[fr33]

As our an-cap friends like to say...

VOTE HARDER!

I'm so shocked. Get us the list guys, we'll send angry letters to the whole lot of them!

Democracy at work :rolleyes:

[TheNewYorker]

RU BI OH

[dusman]

Rand Paul - No
Tim Scott - No
Ted Cruz - No
Marco Rubio - No
Roy Blount - No
Dan Coats - No
Jerry Moran - No

That's all I have found so far, unless others heard some of the others.

[ds21089]

Surprised he's playing the correct political move? Im not. Now he can say he voted against it. He will vote no on the bill itself as well because he knows they already have the voted to pass it. Same with Cruz

Too bad more Senators aren't running for President ;-)

[Rudeman]

Too bad more Senators aren't running for President ;-)

Graham doesn't care.

[ord33]

Does anyone have a roll call list?

From watching I picked up some of the Republicans that voted for it. They include Lamar Alexander, Kelly Ayotte, John McCain, Mitch McConnell, John Thune, Susan Collins, and Lindsay Graham. There had to be others, but I'm not sure who they were.

Leadership and the neocons. They need their military spending, and don't give a shit about the next generation which will be bankrupted (and the future US military that will be correspondingly smaller)

[jmdrake]

Does anyone have a roll call list?

Without seeing a list I already know how our two senators from Tennessee voted.

[Liberty74]

So this proves Rand's argument of an "holy alliance."

[RDM]

I know for sure that Graham voted for cloture.

I was pleasantly surprised that Rubio voted against cloture.
And that he voted.

Pleasantly surprised? Don't be. There WILL be "2 snakes in the grass" that will vote for spending when the bill comes forward.

Cruz, Rubio Vote to Increase Debt By $400 Billion; Paul, Sanders Vote No

unholy, but yes, proves Rand is 100% correct.

[01000110]

My local news this morning said "Catastrophe was avoided" despite the efforts by Ted Cruz and Rand Paul to filibuster.

Media would have hammered Cruz and Rand over this had they succeeded.

It all sucks.

[erowe1]

I don't have a roll call list but I'm sure McCain and Graham were some of the deciding votes.

Stabbed the GOP in the back? You mean done the GOP's bidding.

Rand was the one stabbing the GOP in the back. More power to him.

[staerker]

All hail the US government! May it live forever, and may every knee bow!

[Crashland]

The debt is one of those things that just makes my blood boil. It's straight up theft on a monumental scale. The industrial military complex and special interest groups own this country, and the politicians are corrupt pieces of shit. Times like this I want to move to Texas and secede from the union

[LibertyEagle]

So I woke up to this. How is it wrong?

Vitter must have gotten stuck in a tight place somewhere and couldn't make it out.

It is kind of ironic:

Getting paid to screw people, while screwing the people by not being there to screw them, all the while, screwing someone.

[Brian4Liberty]

Leadership and the neocons. They need their military spending, and don't give a shit about the next generation which will be bankrupted (and the future US military that will be correspondingly smaller)

They don't care about domestic spending either. (Unless they are being groomed for higher office and putting on a show, like Rubio and Cotton.)

already posted on cornyn's social medias that he needs to resign over his stupidity.

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/426327/rand-paul-filibuster-20-minutes-joel-gehrke

this story is about Rands 20 minute speech.

He came out later and did a one hour plus filibuster, and then they voted. I watched it.

[JK/SEA]

''guns and butter''....the beat goes on.

''until the end''....

[Jan2017]

Too bad more Senators aren't running for President ;-)

or re-election in 2016 . . . dirty dogs in Congress (79 GOP Congressman as well in House by Cruz's tally last night) should not be re-elected

[nayjevin]

Both 'Independents' on the wrong side of the vote. LOL

[ChristianAnarchist]

So "voting for cloture" derails the filibuster??

[Crashland]

Bipartisan my ass, when the nays are 35-0 republicans to democrats. One side is getting everything that they want to the point where not a single democrat voted against it. Real negotiating skills right there by GOP leadership. Demand concessions from your own party only. What a joke.

[RandPaul4Prez]

Worst of all they just gave a blank check to the military industrial complex.

[JK/SEA]

Worst of all they just gave a blank check to the military industrial complex.


probably pay for it with cuts in domestic spending.

[Jan2017]

So "voting for cloture" derails the filibuster??

Rand's ultimate goal was to hold back the vote so that he could introduce his amendment.

Cruz was on point with this last night saying . . .
it was 79 Republicans (Ryan clan) joining all the Dims in the House -
he predicted all in the Senate, as it is a Dim + RINO support "must-pass" bill, as Cruz said.
also, Obama whispers "shutdown" so leadership caves

[Crashland]

probably pay for it with cuts in domestic spending.

Pay for it with debt that other people are going to have to pay off. Wouldn't it be nice if it were legal for me to open up a credit card under someone else's name and go on a shopping spree.

[cindy25]

35 of 53 GOP senators voted against Obama deal. so why not dump McConnell?

[nobody's_hero]

35 of 53 GOP senators voted against Obama deal. so why not dump McConnell?

Is there a senate version of the 'motion to vacate'? lol.

Honestly there's probably some deal that some of the ones who voted 'no' were allowed to do so due to how much support they would have lost in their states.

For instance, Sen. Johnny Isakson in Georgia voted 'no' but that man has never seen a dollar he didn't want to spend.

[Matt Collins]

So "voting for cloture" derails the filibuster??Yes, it is essentially a vote to move forward (by ending debate and closing amendments)

[Matt Collins]

Without seeing a list I already know how our two senators from Tennessee voted.Surprisingly Bailout Bob Corker voted with Rand here... but that is only because he is about to run for Governor.
