Well, we’re going to elect a socialist regardless who we vote for. Might as well start getting the congress in line now and get a head start and destroying the country.

And if the seven RINO’s who did not vote, would have voted “NO”, the measure would have failed and we would not be out $683 Billion.

Cowards!
