***nine Democrats in the U.S. House refused to vote for a Christmas resolution that condemns the worldwide persecution of Christians.***
NAMES! We need NAMES!
There were 40 not voting...
What? Are we stuck in a loop? Convicted of crimes, impeached, like Hastings or McDermott, or crimes against nature, the list doesn't surprise me.
When did each of them convert to Islam?
From MM:
From the office of GOP Rep. Steve King:
Congressman Steve King reacted this morning to the nine NO votes on his resolution to honor Christmas and the Christian faith. The vote shocked Capitol Hill observers because votes on similar resolutions honoring the holidays of Islam and Hinduism passed without any NO votes.
Appearing this morning on the Fox News Channels Fox and Friends, King said, The [nine] naysayers didnt make it to the floor to debate. I would like to know how they could vote Yes on Islam, Yes on the Indian Religions and No on Christianity when the foundation of this nation and our American culture is Christianity I think theres an assault on Christianity in America.
The nine Members voting NO were Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY), Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) (FL), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA), Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA), and Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA). None of the nine voted against resolutions honoring the Islamic holiday of Ramadan and the Hindu holiday of Diwali.

Nine Democrats voted No Ackerman, Clarke, DeGette, Hastings (FL), Lee, McDermott, Scott (VA), Stark and Woolsey.
Nine Democrats voted Present Conyers, Frank (MA), Holt, Payne, Schakowsky, Schwartz, Wasserman Schultz, Welch (VT) and YarmuthThis is interesting because of this group 17 of the 18 Ds above voted FOR a resolution honoring Ramadan (Lee missed the vote). Note that the King resolution was based on the language in the Ramadan resolution. You can compare them if you want, but Kings is more benign. Ramadan H.Res. 635 and Christmas H. Res. 847
H. Res. 847: recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith
Thanks - the %20 at the end of the url got in the way, didn’t it? (I hadn’t put there.)
I know you didn’t put it there.
That happens sometimes.
>> What? Are we stuck in a loop?
LOL - I just got off that train.
