I heard from both Paul and Bachman about it, both voted no. They are not leadership. They did what they could.
The thing I didn’t like about Bachmann was that she said yes...and then voted no, based on the fact that she wanted Bambicare repealed.
This was not the time to attack that particular issue, and if she had really been opposed to the bill, she should have said in advance that she wasn’t going to vote for it.
She was really my favorite, but this old familiar stunt of waiting until a bill is passed and then voting no is the same-old, same-old, and I have crossed her off my list. I’d prefer somebody who announced his or her intentions in advance, argued them and then voted them, rather than a stealth vote with an eye on the polls.
Neither is Joe Wilson, but at least he led the SC delagation. Santorum has a point.
Shame watching him go down in flames.
too bad he can’t talk about the Peabaggging Democrats like he does Republicans.
He is right they should have got a lot more freshmen to vote with them. It is one thing to vote another to bring people with you.
They didn’t go along with it because they both vowed that the bill had to contain language repealing Obamacare, which it did not.
