Looks like ol? Chuck ain?t gonna have way after all. In a vote of 53 to 46 today, the Senate defeated Schumer's abusive amendment to S.256 (Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005) that sought to financially cripple pro-life demonstrators being sued by abortion clinics. Good riddens! With that said, I must add that I was once again disappointed with the other usual blockheads that continue to call themselves Republicans. When looking at the voter roll call for this amendment, I knew it wouldn?t take a rocket science degree in poli-sci to predict that Lincoln Chafee (R-RI), Suan Collins (R-ME), Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) would continue to stand in defiance against the President?s pro-life agenda. However, what I did not expect was to see a couple of usual partisan hacks actually crossing the isle to join with the Republicans in opposition to the Chucky Cheese amendment. "Sheets" Byrd (D-WV) and Ben Nelson (D-NE) surprised me by their vote and while I felt it my duty to express my gratitude by faxing them some nice words of appreciation, I was also very much appalled by the ignorance of the aforementioned RINOS and made sure to fax their offices with words of disappointment and frustration.
