Thread: Senate Vote on Dream Act

These are the YEAs that IMO are most disappointing, and I hope the voters of these states let their Senators know:

Conrad, McCaskill, Murkowski, Stabenow & Webb.

I read that George Allen may run again and have a rematch with Webb. Here is some of Allen's record on illegal immigration:

I hope Webb doesn't plan on running for re-election, because if he does, he's in for a "shellacking," as the POTUS is wont to say.

Dream act supporters are on the web hooping and hollering about how they will not vote for the senators who voted no. Not sure why that matters when it appears to me that they will not be voting at all now!!!!! It's all good, we'll all MAKE SURE to vote for the senators who voted no since we CAN vote legally.

Don't let the door hit you on the keister on your way out, Bob.

I'm confused. There are more yeas than nays. A yea is for or against the DREAM act?

Regardless of there being more yeas, they still had to have 60 and they fell 5 short.

So a yea is in favor of the DREAM Act and a nay is against it, right?

It gets confusing because they can make voting against something actually a vote for something.
