Good one Senator Paul

[tpfkaw]

Because of Senate rules, it's easier to propose new legislation as an amendment to existing legislation, especially if that existing legislation is being reauthorized and especially if the Senator proposing it is a member of the minority party.  TARP, for example, is an amendment to nursing home regulations.

And this is why Ron>Rand.

He probably did this to weaken the bill, though.

Both Chambers should both pass bills saying"One bill, One Subject" at a time. Putting riders in bills drives me crazy. Its kind of the same "nutty thing" with pork barrel spending and projects that were authored for politicians in their states/districts. You didn't know for a number of years what politician was giving money for projects in their states because the names of those politicians didn't have to be disclosed. Now they do of course.

Rand, you're not even a crumb in the shadow of your father.

And I don't even like your father.

Lmao.

Ron's busy trying to pass Fed audits whiles Rand is busy trying to push anti-abortion bills, clearly one of them has their priorities straight.

Rand's craziness actually got Reid pretty upset. And Reid has a pretty anti-abortion voting record himself. He just doesn't tack crazy anti-abortion amendments on flood insurance bills.

When a right wing idea fails 60-40 in Mississippi, it's safe to declare it DOA on the federal level.

Stop putting crap laws next to stuff that has nothing to do with it. This goes for both parities.

I'm sure they'll take heed of this, BaldEagle1991.... Hoyer and Boehner and McDonell and Reed are taking note of this as we speak and changing their strategy accordingly to what the member of the web forum advises...............

lol Rand.

You would think so.

The only reason why it failed was because it would give fetuses the rights to several things like free speech, and free religion, when they can't talk yet. Everyone knows that's a dumb idea.

Reid's anti-abortion voting record has been gathering dust for a few years.
