CSPAN thread for Tuesday 03/02/04

[TarpleyG]

No, Kerry just said it this morning too...

 

[Harry Tuttle]

Kerry repeated the "join the army" meme today

an exact quote will be in the record and online tomorrow

watch for my thread:

"Kerry on the Senate Floor 3-2-2004"

 

[TarpleyG]

Tom Gresham,

I wish I could be sure of that...but I can't. I just hope you (and your contact) are right.

FOX NEWS, TOO!!!!

Fox News is also reporting that the AWB renewal has been PASSED by the Senate!:banghead:

Et tu, Brute?

 

[Guntalk]

Believe me, I'm typing with my fingers crossed, too! But this guy really is in the know, and I trust him.

Besides, I have nothing else to go on.

Expect S.1805 to pass today.

Hey, if no one is appointed to the committee . . . . <grin>

 

[fix]

In a matter of mere hours, this excellent piece of pro-gun legislation has been transformed into an anti-gun nightmare. The Democrats have taken over this bill. It's time to abandon it completely. I'll say it again...

CALL YOUR SENATORS!!! KILL THIS BILL!!!

then...

CALL THEM AGAIN!!!

The Democrats will line up to vote for this thing now and they have a bunch of RINOs going along with them. You can bet your sweet ??? on that. Every vote counts on this one.

KILL THIS BILL!!!

 

[LAR-15]

You wanna bet me Dianne Feinstein still votes AGAINST the overall bill?

Pony up.

 

[sumpnz]

About how long after this vote until something else (e.g. vote on the whole bill) comes up. I only ask because I have to tap a kidney like you wouldn't believe, but don't want to miss anything.

 

[geekWithA.45]

If you'd gone to pee

instead of posting, you'd be done by now, and feel a whole lot better!

You've got a few minutes yet.

 

[M1911Owner]

Hey sumpnz, this is Internet, not TV--everything will still be here when you get back!

 

[TheOtherOne]

This is our government at work. You still have PLENTY of time.

 

[Nightfall]

The motion to table the Levin Amendment to S. 1805 passes.

Yays: 56

Nays: 41

 

[TarpleyG]

And another roll call. If'n you gotta pee, go ahead, take your time. Hell, take a book and get two for the price of one while your at it.

 

[armoredman]

Mr Gresham, I hope to high Heavan your source is right, and that "we don't get fooled again!" like the song says. Because, to keep the musical theme going, this is like Meatloafs' protest song - "Life is a lemon, and I want my Money Back!"

 

[Minion82]

Assuming this bill fails (and it MUST), can't we later use the same tactics as the dems? You know they'll try to bring the AWB renewal back later, maybe we can tack on enough pro-gun amendments that they won't pass it...

 

[carnaby]

what the heck is the Levin Ammendment?

 

[TheOtherOne]

You know with mainstream media reporting things like this we are screwed. The media has the main say in what happens with our politics.

Most Democrats voted for the [AW] ban, which had been due to expire Sept. 13, while most Republicans voted against it.

 

[NightWolfe]

so the next vote is for the whole bill correct ?

I've been out for a while and missed the last 2 hours ..

 

[RocketMan]

Just called Sen. Gordon Smith's office in Wash. D.C. to express my displeasure at his vote on the AWB renewal.
I stated that I will no longer support him, that he will not have my vote come election time.
His staffer could have cared less.

 

[DDGator]

Why did the CSPAN audio feed stop? Now all I have is classical music? Anyone still have it?

 

[Brian Dale]

msnbc and Fox are just giving us the ol' "deja vu all over again."

"Wrong news" is nothing new —remember seeing photographs of a grinning Harry S Truman holding up the newspaper bearing the headline "Dewey Deafeats Truman?"

 

[kingfisher]

"Believe me, I'm typing with my fingers crossed, too! But this guy really is in the know, and I trust him."

I hope you are right. I don't trust GWB to veto it with the AWB attached.

 

[sumpnz]

Reed is arguing to kill this bill!!!

Maybe there's hope yet.

 

[Zmeja]

Point of order:

News sources like Fox, ABC, CNN, as well as many newspapers, use different wire sources like Reuters and the Associated Press (because you can't have a reporter everywhere, all the time, representing just one news channel or paper).

AP wrote the piece. AP gets things wrong...A LOT.

Perhaps we should write some to Fox and others to correct them on what really happened. Be nice, and be articulate.

Why did the CSPAN audio feed stop? Now all I have is classical music? Anyone still have it? Cause they are tired of us calling to tell them we are going to give them the shaft for knifeing us .
