3. Yup. They're up.

Interestingly, the rethug Chairman talking is in support of it.

[uppityperson]

4. Interesting. Rep Harold Rogers, R Kentucky. Good for him.

[BumRushDaShow]

6. He was very cordial.

Wished more of these types were out there more in the House but we shall see... I expect alot of them got slammed by their constituents.

8. There was a thread earlier that said KY is getting a good deal out of this.

Money for a dam project, if I recall. It's still nice to see him speaking in favor

[BluegrassStateBlues]

27. That's mine. He's an asshole, but an old school asshole. nt

5. Rogers' Speech was Good

Sounds like he knows what he is supposed to be doing. How wonderful that that is now something to be commended for.

[uppityperson]

7. It was a good speech, glad they are finally going to get to vote.

[uppityperson]

9. Pennsylvania guy??? "Support it. Should be supported but not celebrated."

I wish they'd show names, sorry

19. Charlie Dent

My Congressman leading the moderates

10. David Scott D Georgia, wants to make it impossible to shut gvt down again and risk credit.

Please work together.

[uppityperson]

11. Ted Poe, R, Texas.

Whined. eom

[nolabear]

12. Whooee. That crow is not going down easy.

They're going to do it but they're throwing one ringtailed fit.

[uppityperson]

13. Nancy Pelosi, D, CA. Problems that has happened, $24 billion dollars out of the economy, shame on yo

shame on your recklessness, the american people can not afford this. Tomorrow we can create jobs, that 4 letter word.

Urge a yes vote, not only tonight, but in the months ahead. Will cost hundreds of thousands of jobs.

(spank them Nancy!)

[Kaleva]

14. Voting now

[uppityperson]

17. On amendments it says on c-span. I think this means the Big vote is after that. ???

[MSMITH33156]

20. No, this is it I think

The senate actually amended the original House Bill and sent it back. So if they concur to the amendments, that means the House bill passes (which is the Senate bill).

[uppityperson]

22. Whoooeeeee. thanks

[uppityperson]

15. All time for debate has ended, motion has agreed to. Ask for recorded votes for amendments

15 min vote on motion to concur on senate amendments. Running tally, 13 repubs yay so far

[MSMITH33156]

16. Nancy Pelosi

is such a bad ass. I love her.

[uppityperson]

18. She gave it to them indeed.

[blogslut]

21. pretty nervous here

I don't know what the vote to concur means. Does it mean that if passed, they will go ahead and vote on the whole shebang? What if the vote doesn't pass? Do they have some crappy House bill to vote on?

[uppityperson]

23. "this is the last vote". Per cspan.

[blogslut]

24. But the presiding chairperson said

"This vote is 15 minute vote. Next vote is 5 minute vote." Is the next vote a vote to close the session?

[uppityperson]

26. That is what I heard to, so am getting really confused. I do not know. Could be, makes sense.

[MSMITH33156]

28. I don't know what the last vote is for

but this is the vote. The original Tea Party House Bill was HR 2775. The Senate took that bill, stripped all the crap out, and amended it with the current compromise. They then sent it back to the House. Now the House is voting to accept those amendments, and if they do, it goes to the President. The reason the Senate did that is that this sort of legislation must originate in the House:

All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

[uppityperson]

29. Thank you. nt

[MSMITH33156]

25. Enough Republicans

already voted yea. It will pass.
