Fucking BEAUTIFUL

I have been tuned into CSPAN2 all day, watching/listening to the GOP getting its ass handed to it on a fucking platter and enjoying every last second of it. Serves those fuckers right. After a year of dragging their feet, refusing to engage in the process, and obstructing obstructing obstructing, they're trying, at the final seconds of the game,

Does anybody know if the daily no-business-after-2PM votes are recorded anywhere ? I'd love to see how our "different kind of Republican" has been voting in that regard.

On Monday, Brown said he hadn't yet read the reconciliation bill. I hope he's found the time now!

I'm sure there's a record somewhere. What was interesting was that not a single ranking Republican in any of the committees claimed to know who filed the objection to continuing business past 2.

And when Brown flip-flopped, he didn't say "I have now read the bill and object to X/Y/Z."

The most detailed record I find was here:

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/vote_menu_111_2.htm

But if you look at the oldest item (0064), it's real business (the start of the HR Reconciliation process), not a procedural vote.

I looked at a different section- you looked at the roll call section. Best I could find was this from the Judiciary Committee: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?r111:14:./temp/~r111RPDDvQ:: It did not give who requested the cut-off.

And if McCain's to be believed, we're going to see a lot more of this, as the GOP is now determined to bring the entire government to a screeching halt. Which, I am sure, will thrill the Know-Nuttin' teabagger douchbags, but isn't going to do much for people who don't get all their "information" via swill enemas from Limbaugh/Beck/Hannity. And btw, love that one of the Right's screaming heads, who rails constantly about "socialistic handouts", was caught with his hand in the honey pot, with his family getting a $250,000 federal handout.

Hmm, that URL isn't working - what query string did you use?
