Bond Attempts to Explain Away Cloture Vote June 27, 2007
Posted by Webmaster in Immigration, Missouri, Politics.trackback
Columbia Tribune Politics Blog has the story. His excuse is that he might wind up voting against the bill if some egregious amendments and provisions are still part of the bill.
If the bill ultimately passes the Senate, and Bond votes no, then he will probably trumpet his no vote if he runs for re-election in 2010, even though the bill could have never passed the Senate without a successful cloture vote.
The truth of the matter is that Bond and others yielded to pressure put by the White House and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Minority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS).
