You can make that the issue if you are writing a negative ad which is how your post reads.....further investigation shows that to be the case as even the Democrats admit that a deal will be had but this is a vote they want on the record so that folks can say what you say and voila, your thread title, while untrue becomes an ad.

You have, nor do I, know where the settlement will be....The question you are presenting right now implies that there are only two alternatives and you do not know that......since we both know NOW, but didnt at the beginning of this thread that both parties are working on a compromise that they both know is coming. If you read about how Reid voted, which was against it,that tells you all you need to know...he KNOWS that leaves it open for a new vote on a compromise.

Why you left all of this detail out, I can only surmise but your question you pose now is mute....as YOU KNOW it will never come to that !
