My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

Senator Salazar, Explain WHY You Want Gang Members, Terrorists, and Other Criminals To Come In

From the Senate Roll Call page:

Question: On the Amendment (Cornyn Amdt. No. 1184, As Modified ). . .

Vote Result: Amendment Rejected . . .

Statement of Purpose:
To establish a permanent bar for gang members, terrorists, and other criminals. . . .

Vote Counts:
YEAs
46
NAYs
51
Not Voting
2

. . . . Salazar (D-CO), Nay

Or perhaps, good Mr. Senator, you can explain WHY you think it's a bad idea that a person voting in person--their most sacred American duty and priviledge--should present ONE form of photo identification.

Question: On the Amendment (McConnell Amdt. No. 1170 ) . . .

Vote Result:
Amendment Rejected . . . .

Statement of Purpose:
To amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require individuals voting in person to present photo identification. . . . .

Vote Counts:
YEAs
41
NAYs
52
Not Voting
6

. . . . Salazar (D-CO), Nay

Notice, by the way, the relatively high number of "Not Voting"s on that amendment. Here's the list--see if you can figure out the commonality: Biden, Brownback, Dodd, Johnson (D-SD), McCain, Obama.

Huh . . .must be a political hot potato.

Is somebody making a campaign commercial around here?
