Midknight Review -- new and revised: Summary Report of Yesterday's Senate Fiasco: We now know that McCain and his RINO Herd, are only pretenders when it comes to the advancement of radical socialism.

I am sure most of you already know what happened, yesterday, in the Senate, but, just in case, here is a quick summary review:

It takes 60 votes to end debate or discussion on any bill that comes to floor of the Senate. By rule, all Senators have the right to be heard and to speak as long as they choose. After discussion is ended by Senate vote, again by a 60 vote total, the proposed bill is voted on and can be approved by the Senate by as little as 51 votes, or a simple majority. Hapless Harry knew he could not stop debate without the support of some Republicans and he has refused to consider any amendments to ObamaCare.

Yesterday, he allowed discussion on a financial bill, a “Continuing Resolution,” which included defunding ObamaCare, to be voted on as presented to the Senate by the House. The vote of 79 to 19 to end debate succeeded. Within 30 minutes of that vote, Reid presented the same bill but without the defunding clause. Since the Senate had closed debate, only 51 votes were needed. All but two Republicans voted against this altered bill and the Democrats won another round on ObamaCare, 54 to 44.

Problem for the GOP: everyone knew Reid was going to use this tactic to get his way . . . . . everyone. Knowing this to be the case, prior to the vote to end debate, the only option for true conservatives opposing the mess we know as “ObamaCare” was to support Cruz and others, and refuse to end debate until concessions were made by the Democrats as to needed corrections to this poorly written bill. As it turns out, a vote to end discussion, understanding what Reid was about to do to the House bill, was a vote to support of ObamaCare AS IS, without any repair whatsoever. The second vote simply did not matter and the Big Government boys -- McCain, Graham, and 25 other Senate Republicans -- won the day for Barrack Obama and against the will of the people. . . . . . despite all the blow to the contrary coming from the feckless mind and mouth of John McCain.

In the end, GOP Senators told their constituencies they knew better than the people, and voted for continued Democrat rule on this matter. We now know that McCain and his RINO Herd, are only pretenders when it comes to the advancement of radical socialism. Debate on that conclusion ended with the Senate vote to end debate on ObamaCare.

Time to move these pretenders out of office or take our 15 million votes somewhere else come election day, even if it means Hillary becomes president.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
