I don't think any Republican Senators voted for getting rid of this, and only 5 House Republicans voted to get rid of it (when it passed the House.) Ain't that special? What is that total? 5 Republicans out of 220-230 or so? Damn, people, that's pretty ugly.

Funny how it was only the Republican votes that blocked the bill, and not the two Democratic no votes.

I really doubt Democrats wanted this bill to pass at this moment, and it wouldn't surprise me if they brought it to a vote only after knowing full well that it would be defeated. All they wanted was the issue.

Reid had to vote no as a procedural issue, so he can bring the bill back again as a lame duck in November after the elections (otherwise it's dead forever) - and he's already said he'll do so.

Yes, here you have the GOP voting against giving our troops a pay raise, just so DADT repeal won't pass.

Insufferable moral anti-immigration hypocrites.

The 2 Arkansas traitors? Reid did it for some rules issue (so he can bring it back up, or something.) Wtf would you expect from a BLANCHE? Wasn't that the old lady pole-hound on the Golden Girls?

Because once again the GOP are trying to bring the government to a standstill.

The GOP were the ones that fillibustered the bill, weren't they?

The GOP were the ones that prevented the bill from moving to the Senate floor for a vote, right?

56 Senators in favor of voting on this bill, and the GOP blocked that vote.

The GOP will be in the political wilderness for at least a decade, and the tea party in it's various forms as funded by the Koch brothers and Dick Armey won't change much.

what a disgrace. actually, this shouldn't even be brought to a vote. it should be crushed by the supreme court for being the discriminatory, unconstitutional law that it is, and should be erased from the books.
