Oh, I understand and agree with your assessment completely!
It's just interesting that there's a pattern to such voting, no matter which party is in office...
Just a reflection on the normal American predilection to "Throw the Bums Out", which if the Dems were the Dems of Scoop Jackson, Sam Nunn, et. al, wouldn't be so bad, but with the leadership being of the likes of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and She Who Must be Obeyed, along with lesser scary creatures like Fienstein, Schummer, and Rangel.. well it's damn frighting. Never before have such hard left characters controlled Congress, and the purse strings to our National Defense, at a time when we are at war with an implacable foe, one who can't easily be deterred, and must be fought.
