On December 11th, got an e-mail news letter from Dick Morris .com ( get em every day ) sayin the vote on the Arm Trade Treaty was going to be in a day or two, He had a petition to sign, and I SIGNED IT... as predicted all 46 listed above voted for the Treaty that John Kerry signed with NATO. Just like the United Kingdom and Austraila.....53 to 46 is mighty darn close, We won the battle but the WAR is buy NO way over
 
You can accuse me of being overly optimistic...but I doubt the "real" vote was that close. There are undoubtedly some of those 46 who genuinely support the treat, but I would doubt that there was a single senator from either side who thought it would actually pass. I would guess that the majority of those 46 were pandering to their base, knowing it would never happen. If they actually thought they might be held accountable for their vote, it would have gone down in spectacular fashion.
