Without a doubt, chris37.
This was a given going into today’s vote.
Boner wanted this to pass,and was very heavy handed about it.
50 GOP no votes is a great accomplishment in the light of this,compared to only 34 no votes the other day. But the Dems did not vote in lockstep, which for this one unusual instance, would have been good thing for America.
The 50 GOP no votes went out on a limb, which the Dems did not support.
The dems not voting in lock step, which is their usual tactic, is evidence to me that these two parties are working in cahoots to pass things with a bare minimum of yay votes.
I suspect that no votes were allowed to people who feel they need them.
I am at a point now where I am not willing to acknowledge no votes if a bill passes in spite of them, because they do not matter.
The government agenda always moves forward. America is being conspired against.
