Heated exchanges in Oregon Republican Gubernatorial debate

Ahead of the Republican gubernatorial primary election tomorrow, the two candidates for the GOP nomination Lt Governor Cliff Connell and former TV News anchor Amber Noble clashed during their only debate held at the University of Oregon in Eugene on Sunday evening.

Noble, who has been endorsed by the likes of congresswomen Patty King, and former Alabama Governor Wesley Burke went onto an out out attack on Connell. Connell who is a former Democrat who split with his old party on criminal justice issues was called a "RINO" by Noble, and accussed him of his campaign being funded by the far right Republican's favorite "bogeyman" George Soros. " My campaign is supported by the ordinary citizens, not that of George Soros, whose stated aim is to turn America into a Communist State". (In the interests of fact checking, NBS can prove that Mr Soros has never said anything of the sort in public). Connell hit back saying "I am not taking anything seriously from you, who has said "There's no point in having nuclear weapons if you never use them"" this being reference to Noble who has claimed the United States should have used Nuclear weapons in Vietnam and against Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War.

Noble also claimed Oregon which uses mail in ballots to vote is open to massive voter fraud "If I lose either on Tuesday or in the general election it was be because of the corrupt mail-in ballot system we use in this state" stating that if elected "I will return to paper ballots for every election" and proposed "tougher election ID laws" which Connell said meant "voter suppression".

Does Wesley Burke still even have any influence within the Republican party anymore after the 2022 election debacle? Every Presidential election he rants and raves and blackmails the party by threatening to run as a third party candidate if someone he doesn't approve of is the nominee. He got what he wanted in 2022. Alan Duke was the nominee, and he crashed and burned, and dragged down both houses of Congress with him. I would think the party would now be in a good position to tell him to go pound salt.
 

Marky Bunny

He does have a following very much like Trump in OTL (although clearly smaller), he does have influence with the ultra Conservative,/Christian/ conspiracy theory wing of the GOP.

Senate Republicans launch healthcare filibuster

Wednesday, May 17th, 2023

Just moments ago, Senate Republicans began what is expected to be a filibuster on the American Health Care Protection Act (AHCPA). After being recognized by the presiding officer, Senator Jim Doldier (R-AL) began speaking, flanked by several Republican colleagues who Republican leadership has designated to keep the filibuster going, with another two "squads" set to rotate through as the filibuster is expected to go on.

Almost all 51 Senate Democrats, including Majority Leader Jimmy Fitzsimmons (D-MA), are remaining on or near the Senate floor, to prevent attempts by Republicans to force a quorum call that would suspend Senate business and allow the filibusterers time to regroup.

Fitzsimmons decried the use of what he called an "undemocratic" and "delaying" tactic by the Senate minority, while Minority Leader Cody Riley (R-AL) defended the use of the Senate's tool as a way he said of preventing Democrats "running roughshod" over the Republicans.

"Forty-nine of us were chosen by voters who fundamentally disagree with the ideology behind President Seaborn's proposal," Riley said. "We must represent them, and if that means having Democrats call us names for protecting the rights of Americans who don't want government handouts in healthcare, so be it."

It is expected that negotiations will continue behind-the-scenes while the filibuster is ongoing.

President Seaborn is "disappointed" in the decision of Senate Republicans to filibuster his healthcare legislation, and called for "honest cooperation" from Senate Republicans to improve the nation's healthcare system, White House Press Secretary Cassie Tatum said in a statement.

Senate filibuster enters eighth hour

Wednesday, May 17th, 2023

Senate Republicans' filibuster over the American Health Care Protection Act (AHCPA) has entered its eighth hour, with some legislators already preparing to bed down near their Capitol offices.

Senate Minority Whip Max Lobell I (R-GA) said his caucus was "in good spirits" as it intended to filibuster the proposed healthcare reform until "significant concessions are made" or the bill is withdrawn.

"We have some very dedicated men and women standing up against a government takeover of a large sector of our economy," Lobell said. "It's a wonderful thing to be a part of."

It is understood that if the filibuster continues into tomorrow afternoon, Senate Majority Leader Jimmy Fitzsimmons (D-MA) and Senate Minority Leader Cody Riley (R-AL) will begin meeting to discuss the impact on floor votes delayed because of the filibuster, as well as the Senate's scheduled Memorial Day recess.

GOP filibuster enters second day

Thursday, May 18th, 2023

The Republican filibuster over the proposed healthcare reform has entered its second day, leaving the Senate paralyzed as several Republican senators have continuously held the floor since 1 PM in Washington yesterday.

Senator James Lincoln (R-KY) is the most recent of four Republicans to have filibustered the bill, taking over from his colleague Davis Roberts (R-TX) shortly after 2:30 PM.

Only one senator has broken with the party line thus far, Daryl Lukins (R-OK), who issued a statement saying he opposes the use of the filibuster because its historically used to stymie civil rights for African-Americans.

"I believe that it is wrong for the party of Abraham Lincoln to continue the use of a tool that southern Democrats used to obstruct civil rights for black Americans," Lukins said in a press release. "I will vote for any cloture motion submitted in this, or any other debate where a filibuster is used."

To overcome the filibuster, 60 of the 100 senators will have to vote for cloture to end debate on the bill. With Democrats holding a narrow one-seat majority, they need Lukins and eight more Republicans to vote with them on a cloture motion. If no cloture vote passes with 60 votes, debate will continue until no senator takes the floor for debate or the bill is withdrawn.

White House Legislative Director Connie Tate said that negotiations over the provisions of the American Health Care Protection Act (AHCPA) were still ongoing despite the filibuster. Tate did not disclose whether any agreements to modify the House-passed bill had been made.

Filibuster continues for third day as Senate schedule up in the air

Friday, May 19th, 2023

For a third day, business in the United States Senate has ground to a halt as the Republican filibuster of the American Health Care Protection Act (AHCPA), with Senate leadership scrambling to reschedule the planned weeklong Memorial Day vacation for senators to return to their home states that would have begun when the Senate adjourned today.

Senate Majority Leader Jimmy Fitzsimmons (D-MA) stated that negotiations with Minority Leader Cody Riley (R-AL) and consultation with the Senate parliamentarian resulted in the new schedule, should the filibuster not be broken by midnight on Saturday, would see the Senate adjourn and reconvene on Monday May 22nd at noon. There after, the Senate would only adjourn for Sundays and federal holidays, which in the next month include both Memorial Day (Monday, May 29th) and Juneteenth (Monday, June 19th).

Fitzsimmons and other Democratic senators expressed frustration at the filibuster, particularly the fact that almost all Democrats need to remain in or near the Capitol to prevent Republicans' attempt at giving the filibusterers a break by forcing a quorum call.

"It is the worst kind of obstructionism and has already begun to impact the professional and personal lives of some of the members on this side of the aisle." Fitzsimmons fumed to reporters. At press time, several Democrats had expressed support for re-starting work on several committees to put pressure on Republicans to remain in the Capitol as well, with Andrew Thorn (D-NY), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying that the Judiciary Committee with almost zero Republicans present could "go a long way to enacting common sense gun laws and protecting a women's right to choose" by passing a backlog of Seaborn nominees onto the complete Senate when the filibuster is over.

Senate temporarily adjourns after four day filibuster

Sunday, May 21st, 2023

A few moments ago, Senate was adjourned for a day and a half of rest for the weary representatives of the world's "greatest deliberative body."

Per the agreement reached between both parties' leadership, the Senate has adjourned until Monday at noon, when it is expected that the Republican filibuster of the American Health Care Protection Act (AHCPA) will resume unless a compromise is reached, or the bill withdrawn.

The four-day talk-a-thon has resulted in several senators being mocked or celebrated online, with photos of snoozing or disheveled senators quickly becoming Internet memes. The biggest victim thus far has been Stephen Wilson (D-ME), whose indignant remark about "being forced to come in and sit around on a Saturday" was quickly mocked and several hashtags involving Wilson and his dislike of working on Saturday quickly trended on Twitter and Facebook.

"It's been a long process, but we're confident that we've shown the Democrats that they need to come to the table on this," Senate Minority Leader Cody Riley (R-AL) told reporters. "The American people aren't satisfied with the bill of goods they're trying to sell us and if they're serious about passing this thing, they'll realize it's time to come to the table."

A poll taken in the last two days by NBS/YouGov has shown support roughly equal between those who approve of the Republican minority's use of the filibuster versus those that oppose it (35 percent approval compared to 34 percent disapproval with 31 percent undecided), a slim majority of voters (52 percent) approval of the AHCPA while roughly a third (36 percent) disapprove.
