What he said. Apparently if after they debate the package and vote (and fillibuster) if they don't get the 60 votes Reid said he will split out each Bill to be voted on separately. Sounds like we'll be fighting off the wolves for a bit longer.

Because it is not about the people. It is about their idiology.

Well after watching CNN at the gym, it looks like Obama is pulling out all the stops, calling in more parents from Sandy Hook, and making phone calls to Senators himself to see if he can win them over. I guess we will see what happens tomorrow.

Flying them in on 'Air force One' while we all foot the bill? Not quite right IMO.
Air Force One is estimated to cost taxpayers $179,750.00 per hour to operate.

But then, pimping out tragedy victims for emotional impact props is not quite right IMO.
