I keep seeing that 7 republicans voted for it and 20 dems voted against but no names.

I meant to say “whack-a-mole”

“Cao” means “dog” in Portuguese.

Any Democrat who voted to reprimand Joe Wilson who does not vote to pull funds from Acorn will have a doozy of a campaign ad against them in 2010.

Nope. He's going to want to frame it and put it on his wall.

That’s a start... ;-)

Next primary season should resemble the ‘Valentines Day Massacre’ figuratively.
