That my colleagues on the other side of the aisle chose to vote no on even the ability to move forward with debating this legislation tonight. And to my colleague, the democratic leader who said this is a highly partisan bill, thats just not the case. Lets put the partisanship aside. Lets do whats best for the American People. I will tell you that over the past several days, through a bipartisan process, we sat down democrat and republican in four Different Task forces and put together the elements of this legislation. As a result, the bill before you tonight, the one were talking about, reflects republican priorities and democratic priorities. And im going to take the time to walk through it and to talk about some of those who people understand whats in this legislation. I was pleased to see the democratic leader say at the end he believes we can figure this out over the next several hours. He said 24 hours. I hope its not 24 hours. We cant the way that long. We need to move and move

Once again in syria, the russians are setting the pace. This russian officer, stationed in the humanitarian corridor, claimed armed opposition groups were stopping civilians leaving. The day turned into a demonstration of russian power in syria. Theirjets were in the sky, and their soldiers, alongside the syria

But first, as america confronts the seemingly unstoppable dual threats of isis and surprisingly fast white house lawnrunners, we find ourselves selecting a new crop of midterm legislators. Lets go to iowa where Sundays Senate debate saw democrat bruce braley and republican joni ernst present a real choice.
